So Oil prices drop 8% on Friday. Gas prices go up? submitted by /u/3irhead [link] [comments]

I have a major case of dog fever. But I have some life transitions coming up that would be irresponsible for me to outright adopt a dog furever. My home and lifestyle is not suitable for a large or energetic dog. I can only foster a lower energy, small dog, at no more than 20 pounds. I have no problems with older adult or senior dogs, in fact it's my preference. I've been looking at various shelter websites, and it seems a bit tricky to find smaller dogs to foster. There doesn't seem to be any. Or is it just me? If you have fostered a dog, I'd like to hear your story. How did you like it? Was it difficult to let the doggo go, when there was a furever home ready for them? Did you find your canine soulmate and kept them? Any rescue recommendations? I'm in Edmonton, but I'm willing to drive all the way up to Grande Prairie or all the way to down to Lethbridge for help out foster a dog that I can handle. Thanks! submitted by /u/Tiny-Gur-4356 [link] [comments]

As we come up on an extremely difficult budget (more demands than money), I thought you might like to take a look through this site. Details in the comments. submitted by /u/aaronpaquette- [link] [comments]

Just wanted to see if anyone regularly buys full size chocolate bars and have an idea of where to get the most bang for our buck. Would prefer to go somewhere once and pick up some options that are popular. Anyone recently looked into this? submitted by /u/esroh474 [link] [comments]

Does anyone have extra tickets to Saturday night's Banff Beer Festival? I have 2 more friends that are wanting to join the Saturday night session but it's already sold out. I'm willing to pay above original selling price! Thanks! submitted by /u/Arykkk [link] [comments]

Hi guys, we're planning to move to Calgary soon and looking to buy a newly constructed home. However, I was looking into the features and we have to decide out of an electric stove or a gas stove. So I want to find out which do Calgarians (I hope I got that correctly) find better based on experience? I'm looking at cost now and savings in the long run. Are gas stoves better than electric or is it the other way around? I am also particular about Calgary because I learnt gas is cheaper in Calgary compared to other places, don't know how true this is. So your input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. submitted by /u/Adeluv92 [link] [comments]

Hi r/Calgary, We were at IKEA in Calgary on Saturday September 24th between 4:45pm and 5:30pm and we lost a very precious teddy, it’s name is Happy. My Daughters grandmother made it for her after she was born. It’s a silly looking orangey brown bear with blue eyes, feet sewn differently and it’s tongue sticking out. Lost somewhere between the hot dog stand at the exit and the picture frame section in the market. I asked some employees and checked the lost and found, but no teddy. Here is a cute picture of my Daughter sitting with her Teddy. Just thought I would throw this to the powers of r/Calgary Reddit. I’ve seen you all get behind rocks, Ram trucks and other lost toys. Just seeing if anyone found it and took it home by mistake or someone turned in the teddy after we left. Hoping we can find Happy. Thanks for your help, submitted by /u/crackpipecowboy [link] [comments]

Planning to drive Oct 3-4 which is a Monday-Tuesday to Lake Moraine and Louise. Was wondering if I’ll be able to find parking or does it make more sense to take the shuttle from Banff? I don’t mind waiting 20-30 minutes for parking but anything over that would be frustrating. Hopefully being it on a Monday might help. Thank you. submitted by /u/Educational_Switch_3 [link] [comments]

I see so many cool sponsored posts with the most awesome 80s and 90s pop culture stuff on them. The goonies, Ghostbusters, revenge of the nerds... but with shipping and paying in US funds each shirt is almost $50. My question is, is there a local shop that has awesome pop culture stuff for decent Canadian prices in Calgary? submitted by /u/juggalolee420 [link] [comments]

Rant time. What is it with some of the folks here in Edmonton? Why are they so down on this city? I can assure you that every complaint you have – be it infrastructure, homelessness, drug abuse, poverty, corruption, inefficiencies of local and provincial agencies and government bodies, weather, pollution, urban sprawl, violent crime, cost of living, lack of diversity, public transportation, bike lanes, bridges, etc… they’re all legitimate and need to be addressed, but they’re not nearly as overwhelming as they are in other cities and especially compared to the complaining that goes on in social media and in person. Edmontonians are friendly and helpful. They’re mostly open-minded, culturally diverse, inclusive, and generally like to either keep themselves busy or take it easy. Edmonton itself is far more beautiful than it gives itself credit for. It’s also bigger than it thinks it is – namely, it resists the reality it is now a metropolis that requires changes. Although the way the city is planned out makes it far more future proof than most other cities in Canada, people seem to forget we’re over 1 million people. And that’s not even counting the surrounding towns and cities. With that mindset, they complain about the LRT system and the construction. Sure, we’re not an international destination city like Toronto, Montreal or Vancouver, but despite not being in that particular tier, we’re still culturally rich and diverse, and people still want to move here. I’ve mentioned this before, but I lived previously in Montreal for 20 years, and bounced around Ontario quite a bit before that – and I find it so much more livable here. The air’s certainly cleaner. Aside from brush fire or BC forest fire smoke, no bad air days like you see all the time in Southern Ontario or Quebec. Traffic, even during rush hour is nothing compared to Montreal or Toronto (don’t know about Vancouver’s) Rent is possible, buying a move-in ready townhouse or even a fully detached house with an actual yard is not only possible, but within better reach than almost any other city in Canada with a population over half a million. You have tons of beautiful parks throughout the city, actual available free parking on city streets (which you don’t always find in other cities, i.e. - Montreal) plenty of nice shopping malls (which I normally hate, but hey, the WEM and Southgate are actually pleasant to walk and shop in when they’re not packed to the gills), an enviable creative arts scene, great restaurants, theatres, a world class symphony orchestra, Old Strathcona (which makes the Plateau in Montreal look like a slum) and plenty of green, mature, beautiful tree-lined streets with tons of people who are proud of their communities. submitted by /u/nerkoids71 [link] [comments]

I want to add some extra cushioning to the bench/couch and queen bed in our trailer. I'm planning to keep what's there but add another medium-density layer under it, so I don't need to get an exact fit in a single piece, but want to keep the cost down if I can. Any suggestions on where I can find decent-sized chunks of foam for my project at a low cost? submitted by /u/rhythmmchn [link] [comments]

My parents are flying in tomorrow morning and I'm taking my three year old to pick them up. I'm wondering if there is somewhere at the airport where we can watch planes take off or land? Or somewhere where we can watch people deplane? TIA! submitted by /u/outdoorbrit [link] [comments]

We touched on it a little in some of our local history posts, but along with the unique individuals post that came up recently, I thought I'd ask; Do we have any uniquely Edmonton creatures? Do we have any areas within the city where cryptids are commonly spotted? Do we have any totally 100% actually real creatures that are quite unique that we could possibly go see? For the benefit of focus, please do not include ghosts and ghost stories unless the apparition in question has unique qualities aside from their unique story and locale. submitted by /u/TacticalDM [link] [comments]

I was wondering if Calgary had any good used DVD/CD/Blu-Ray/Video Game stores apart from: - CD Trader at Brentwood - Level Up at Forest Lawn - Video Game Trader at Lake Bonavista. I know other cities have many of these types of stores, not sure if Calgary has any more of these. submitted by /u/Bimbibenny [link] [comments]

I recently adopted a 1 year old cat. Most cats love to be up high of course, but he loves it more than any other cat I've had. He has quite a few places he can get up high, but he's always looking for other places he can get up on like doors. His vet mentioned that there are a few people who build indoor cat walkways, but she couldn't remember the names of any of them. I know you can buy cat shelves, but I'm more looking for things like a walkway between cabinets. Anybody know of a good cat catwalk builder? submitted by /u/Erebrannor [link] [comments]

I’ve been seeing this happen a lot more lately, and it’s extremely frustrating. I don’t understand why people don’t pull over when an ambulance is trying to get through. A few days ago, I saw this happen where an ambulance was trying to get down Macleod trail (it wasn’t even rush hour or busy) and no one would pull over. It’s crazy to me that they have to swerve around traffic because no one wants to take 2 seconds out of their day to pull over and let them pass. I can’t imagine how frustrated EMS feels in this position. submitted by /u/xbcjxj1234 [link] [comments]

I just moved to Edmonton from Toronto, and I must say, I love this city. Everything from the people, to the real estate prices, to the lack of traffic vs Toronto. It’s amazing how nice people are vs how ignorant and miserable they are in Toronto. Thank you for having me, I look forward to being here and learning more about the city. submitted by /u/RussyDoee [link] [comments]

I’m having a hard time finding male business casual clothes for work (engineering office). I regularly sift through Tip Top Tailors, The Bay, Brooks Brothers, mall shops but don’t usually find decent clothing. Where do you buy your stuff? I’m looking for more of a casual than formal business look - brushed leather shoes, straight pants of different colors, simple collared shirts (less formal Simons, and more Patagonia vibe). Can anyone recommend other stores to check out? There must be some good ones that aren’t in a mall. Appreciate the help. Edit: Thanks everyone for your recommendations! Big help. Some great local shops I didn’t know existed were highlighted as well. Looking forward to checking them out! submitted by /u/alberta_fi [link] [comments]

Hey Calgary! The City of Calgary Land Use Bylaw team is working to change the City’s zoning bylaw, with the goal of allowing more rowhouses, townhouses, low-rise apartments, and flats in the city. Do you have questions about the "missing middle" or the possibility of new housing forms? Join us Tuesday, September 27 from 1:00-4:00 p.m. to Ask Us Anything about the three zoning improvements we’re taking to City Council on October 4th for a decision. The zoning changes are: A new zoning district that will allow for more ground-oriented homes to be built (referred to as “missing middle”) Improvements to the existing rowhouse zoning district (referred to as R-CG) Simplifying and reducing mandatory minimum parking requirements for multi-residential development Check out https://www.calgary.ca/planning/projects/housing-choices.html for more information on these proposed improvements.
