@_YYCycle @LoneHowler @CWalcottYYC No she moved for work and rents in another city.

Temporarily capping rent increases at the rate of inflation, as proposed in Bill 205, makes a world of sense. Thousands of Calgarians are facing the fastest-climbing rents in the country. Keeping people in their homes should be a priority. calgaryherald.com/opinion/column…

@DeetoriaDee @LoneHowler @CWalcottYYC She rents in another city.

@Trawets_Asil @LoneHowler @CWalcottYYC Where does she live then?

@LoneHowler @CWalcottYYC She doesn’t own more than one home and selling would see her losing money on the property, money she can’t afford to owe. I see what you are saying on the adding inventory but not everything is as easy as you make it out to be.

@Trawets_Asil @CWalcottYYC Oh no more homes getting put on a housing market that's desperate for houses. Such a tragedy for people owning more than one house

@CWalcottYYC I’m not opposed to caps but I do think some landlords aren’t making huge $$$ on their rentals and this will drive people like my cousin to sell because she can’t afford the increase in costs.

@CWalcottYYC How does this work for landlords that have a large mortgage increase? For example- my cousin who rents her condo in yyc. Her mortgage is set to go up $500 next month with renewal. She can’t afford increased losses but that mortgage increase is much more than 5% of the rent.

@drdagly @AMAcommunity Ive used it twice to tow the Urban Arrow in. Both instances they had good response times and got the bike to the shop for me.

Honestly, even though I don’t have a car, I think given my ability to destroy a bike, an @AMAcommunity membership might pay for itself. ama.ab.ca/auto/roadside-…

@rtiedema @mommypedals We went to the optometrist for a prescription. Super quick in and out and walked across the street to the pharmacist and got it filled.

@mommypedals Perhaps they know going to a doc is going to cost you hours in walk-in clinic or days/weeks for an appointment at your family doc…if you have one.

Kid has pink eye. Caught it early so grabbed the OTC drops. Why are they $25 when the rx (before insurance coverage) is $15? I didn't go to the doc- I handled it. That costs $10 more?!?!?

@Krisbike4life I’ll have to try this! Because I have never cooked lentils, do you have to cook them before putting them in or do they cook quick enough when added? I’m picturing dry lentils in a bag?

Swapping out some or all of your ground beef for lentils in recipes like sloppy joes, tacos, and spaghetti sauce is my favourite health/$$/environment hack. We started with 2 tbs and gradually got to 50/50, then our kids didn't even notice when we went 100% lentil.

@CalgaryBluesky @ABDanielleSmith @AdrianaLaGrange The whole situation sucks. We finally got a family doctor but it took so long

@CalgaryBluesky @ABDanielleSmith @AdrianaLaGrange Did you check if your pharmacist can prescribe it for you?

I have never, in my whole life, never been without a family doctor. I am in uncharted territory. Trying to get a prescription I'm on long term is like guest starring on Wipe-out. Why is it this difficult? #yyc #ab @ABDanielleSmith @AdrianaLaGrange

@CalgaryBluesky I wouldn’t be pissed off at the doctors, I would be pissed off at the UCP and @ABDanielleSmith for their management. They have made it very hard for doctors to work in Alberta

I'm sooooo pissed off at doctors in Alberta right now, I can't even. All of them. 🤬 u.

@Matticusssss I got kicked out of yoga about 15 yrs ago because I couldn’t stop laughing. I guess they also forgot to take my bike that day.

@JackieSeidel1 She should probably try a heating pad and a good nights rest.

😂

@Krisbike4life @amandalhu Our childcare situation has been a bit of mess so I have done more drop off and pick ups than I expected and got to know a few parents. 2 kiddos that I know of have long covid diagnosis, another was told they have a long covid cough which seems to be aggravated similar to asthma

@Trawets_Asil @amandalhu Nooo, long covid in kinder 😞. I knew it was happening, I just hadn't heard of anyone yet (at least not officially). I actually don't know about this year. My kinder is not a great source, and there's not as much parent chit-chat.

This was out of a class of 20 children. I wasn’t even counting the kids I’ve known who’ve gotten severely ill who go to other schools.

@CoachBalto @SHAPE_America @UrbanArrowcom ??

Any ebike companies want to gift me a electric bike to raffle off for any #PE teachers who attend this session at @SHAPE_America National Convention?? #SHAPECleveland

@Krisbike4life @amandalhu Our k class has seen many children with Covid and strep at the same time, several hospitalizations and then long covid diagnosis.

@amandalhu Yep - 12 preschool kids last year, one classmate and one sibling were hospitalized for respiratory illness/strep etc. Each was for 3+ weeks over the school year. Teachers never known that to happen once in their decade + of teaching multiple classes.

@CalgaryBluesky Glamorgan Bakery has vanilla and chocolate custard as options.

Do you all know where in Calgary I can get a birthday cake with the custard/pudding middle not just icing in the middle? Like a Costco slab cake but not for 50 ppl? #yyc #cake

@TheCritninja Last snow we had people at 11pm and before 530am out with snowblowers and loud equipment. I feel like I have a fairly high tolerance for noise but this seemed excessive.

maybe it's not lack of awareness but actually annoyance at how disruptive leave blowers are #yyccc globalnews.ca/news/10289506/…

@FBorgal I’ve started asking for my girls drinks in coffee cups with a lid. I don’t seem to have my act together enough to carry straws and remember to clean them and put them back in my bag.

@JD78741001 @GlobalCalgary I wouldn’t even say we sleep late, the last snow the snow clearing started before 5:30am on my street.

Coincidentally, that's exactly what I thought after previous snowfall that was fresh and less in amount. we cleaned off the fresh snow on the pedestrian walkway with shovel during early hours and then watched snow cleaning company utilizing their loud equipment. I get it they are paid for the services & their customer await elsewhere but I do understand neighboring units who sleep till late (maybe after night shift jobs as well) ...waking up to the noise.

A local company says confusion over a snow removal bylaw is leading to confrontation and threats to employees on Calgary sidewalks. READ MORE: trib.al/L1aINjc trib.al/L1aINjc
