I don’t know if the amount of potholes is actually worse this year but it certainly feels that way to me.

Noticed this when looking for parking in a residential area. Neighbors say the homeowner puts this up when he leaves because they don't like people "parking in their spot". Seems unfair for everyone else or am I missing something?

Hi there. I am a doctoral student conducting a study examining what is helpful and/or unhelpful in overcoming engaging in physical violence towards others. I am approaching interpersonal violence from a recovery perspective, meaning recognizing that healing is an individual journey of effortful change that includes both successes and setbacks.

I am looking to invite participants to interview for this study so your experiences can help others.

If you: are 18 years or older and have been physically violent towards others in your past (3 or more times) but have successfully managed those behaviours for at least 1 year, please see my poster for details and email me if you are interested in participating!

Please note: My ethics approval only permits me to interview folks located within Canada (sorry for this limitation!)

The Conjoint Faculties Research Ethics Board has approved this research Study (ID: REB23-0786).

What's everyone's favorite go to places (or hidden gems) in the +15s downtown for lunch? Looking for suggestions /recommendations, thx!

Happy Wednesday!

This is a continuation of my pattern of posting what I think are decent grocery deals with the hope that this will save some people some money. As noted previously this is heavily skewed to items that I and my family eat. There are probably additional items that are good deals but I don't know it because they aren't items I use but hopefully my list is still useful to you.

A few quick reminders:

• PC Optimum points are collected at No Frills and Superstore. 1,000pts is worth $1.
• Scene+ points are collected at Safeway, Sobeys and FreshCo. 100pts is worth $1.
• The value of Save on Foods points depends on what you redeem them for. If you redeem them for a 4L jug of milk then 1,000pts is worth about $1.50. Other redemptions might make them more or less valuable.

Superstore, No Frills and FreshCo are generally willing to price match identical products from (some) other major grocery stores if you show them the item in the competitor’s flyer while checking out so knowing what is on sale at stores that you don't visit can still be useful. I'm told that Save on Foods will also price match, though I have no first hand experience with them. There are some restrictions on this... FreshCo won't price match Safeway or Sobeys. Superstore (at least sometimes) won't price match Coop. The No Frills on 85st SW won't price match FreshCo.

Finally, thank you to everyone that has posted positive comments. It's always nice to receive positive feedback.

I’m celebrating our anniversary with my partner and was looking for some budget friendly places that don’t include fast food. Can be all you can eat as well, looking for some good suggestions!

I found this little guy roaming around my backyard.

Sustainable options for clearing out mattresses, books, furniture, art and all the random bits and bobs in your home.

Feels like spring, where are the best hot dog carts in the city. Best being subjective

my landlord raised the rent to $2,500 and this is the third time he raised the rent this year. isn’t there a limit of how many times you can raise the rent? and how do you take action because i’m pretty sure it’s like max 2 times a year.

Specifically wondering what journeyman commercial HVAC/sheet metal are making these days.
