Hey,

Does anybody have a contact for a Bell Aliant rep? We had someone come to our house recently but I can't find the information now. Looking to switch to Bell and I remember they had a pretty good deal offered.

Thanks all,

Relocated to this fine province & will need dental services in the new year- what dental business is your favorite in Corner Brook & why?

No major work required just regular check ups, cleaning, cavity type stuff for a family including a child.

Every morning I walk to work past the jiffy cab lot on Duckworth and see the bys chain smoking in their cabs which got me thinking... Gotta say I really admire their steadfastness to just not offer any improvement in quality of service to compete with Uber. I thought for sure with uber arriving on the Avalon the cab companies would make some sort of effort to make themselves the more desirable option. It's actually astonishing lol

Does anyone actually prefer the cab services here to uber? If so, I'm dying to know why

I was helping my son prepare for a upcoming Newfoundland culture exam. I came across a online article that talks about how their DNA is found in a lot of Newfoundlanders to this day.

Anyone have that DNA family tree test come back with some ??? Or some unknown indigenous results? Would companies like 23 and Me have the beothuk DNA on hand to compare?

I heard in CBS that they have 3 RNC traffic enforcement officers (I could be wrong). If the town wanted a 4th, is that paid via the province or is it something the town has to pay for and requires a city vote and increase the budget to get approval?

Reason I asked is that CBS seems to need more traffic enforcement and I wanted to know how it works to ask for more and who pays for it. I guess this is applicable to St. John's and all other towns that seem to need more law enforcement.

For the nostalgic NL'er out there, NTV are starting to digitize and publish their collections for NTV +. Check out Jim Furlong's Little Good News Christmas editions: https://ntvplus.ca/programs/collection-i3-_cdri2o8?cid=3955184&permalink=little-good-news-a-christmas-special-02-ddc75f

Hello,

Is there a company that can drive my car around the country?

I need someone to drive my car from Toronto to St Johns

Thanks.

Anyone know if there’s anywhere I can get a walk in hearing test or would I need a referral?

My son is in Grade 8 and is pretty much self suffient, but sometimes comes to me and my wife with questions for an upcoming test. One of the social studies pre-test question has nothing in the book about it. My son is stumped and me and my wife can't figure it out. He is going to ask his teacher about it tomorrow but before then I would like to know the myself. :)

Question: (Think 1600-1900s Newfoundland and Labrador) 25. This group was similar to merchants but also offered education and health care services

I'm guessing the answer is a cooperative or maybe a guild?

Buck is a buck I guess.

Hollett is developing a very skeptical line on the new agreement - as perhaps one might expect given his past form. I want him to be wrong for the sake of the province but the devil really is in the details and I don't have the patience to really dig into his numbers... Does he have a point? Will be interesting to see if he's interviewed or if anyone responds from the government side... https://open.substack.com/pub/edhollett/p/1969-redux

Never been there and want some insight before! Thanks

Hello. Is there anywhere in St. John's metro area that sells WestJet gift cards? I know I can print one from the WJ site but would prefer a plastic card as a gift. I heard Costco used to have them but I only see AC and Porter on their site at the moment. Thanks a lot.

I will be by myself in St. John’s on Christmas Eve and I want to order takeout for supper. With most restaurants closed, are there any open for takeout? I’m open to international food as well. TIA

On KROCK they're reporting that some "multinationals" are still charging tax on goods that are exempt. (Apparently it's not mandatory?) Does anyone know which businesses are doing this?
