Does anyone have a recommendation for someone to fix my furnace?

Wondering if anyone knows if there are any FedEx drop off locations in the city (preferably south side) that accept human specimens/lab samples, or does it need to go to the main drop off centre? I can’t seem to find anything online.

This is a long shot ! But if you or a loved one were involved in a little accident on 153ave and 82st let me know ! I was the lady in the blue lancer ! Sorry I didn’t stop after driving from downtown I needed to go straight home to decompress ! (Both parties got out of vehicle and exchanged info I did make sure of that before the light turned green)

Hello! I have given up trying to aqua scape my 6 gallon rimless tank...I do not have an artistic eye and really would prefer to outsource this to someone (obviously, will pay for materials and labour). Can anyone one recommend a business here in Edmonton that does fresh water aquascaping?

Thank you!

A group of friends would like you to do a one time session/class on beginner water colour painting. I’ve already checked Art Spot, City of Edmonton, Paint Nites, St Albert, and Edmonton Arts Council among other smaller events, but no luck. Everything is either a series of classes, acrylic, or full.

looking for the best soup? I crave soup often and do not want to make it or anything. I just want to go buy a bowl prefer a Lowkey place as I’m hungover and just want soup. Thanks yeg :)

I keep on getting social media junk from Kerry Diotte, running to re-become the Conservative candidate for Edmonton Griesbach trying to get back into the grace of PP and the Federal conservative... Diotte served as the Member of Parliament for Edmonton Griesbach from 2015 until 2021. In the 2021 federal election, he was unseated by New Democratic Party candidate Blake Desjarlais and lost one of the only 3 seats in all of Alberta that didn't go blue. This defeat occurred just weeks before Diotte would have qualified him for one of these very lucrative golden parliamentary pension... for life!

If that's not a good enough reason to vote for anybody else but him, here's a few others:

1. Associations with Controversial Figures: In February 2017, Diotte shared a photo on Twitter with Faith Goldy, a former reporter for The Rebel who was dismissed after appearing on a neo-Nazi podcast. This association has led to significant criticism. globalnews.ca

2. Legal Actions Against Critics: Diotte has a history of threatening legal action against individuals and organizations that have criticized him. In 2018, he sued The Gateway, the University of Alberta's student newspaper, over articles that labeled him as racist. The publication eventually issued a retraction and apology. globalnews.ca Additionally, he threatened legal action against Edmonton writer Bashir Mohamed for tweets accusing him of racism. huffpost.com

3. Dismissive Attitude Toward Systemic Racism Concerns: Following the death of George Floyd in 2020, Diotte urged the public to "take a deep breath" and "get over" the incident before considering changes to policing. This perspective was perceived by many as minimizing the broader issues of systemic racism and police brutality. pressprogress.ca

4. Support for Questionable Media Outlets: Diotte used public funds to place advertisements in The Epoch Times, a publication known for disseminating COVID-19 conspiracy theories and misinformation. This decision raises questions about his judgment and the responsible use of public resources. pressprogress.ca

5. Unsuccessful Mayoral Bid: In the 2013 Edmonton municipal election, Diotte ran for mayor and finished third, securing only 15.5% of the vote. This significant loss indicates limited support from Edmonton residents for his leadership.

And obviously, there's also his lack of any sort of stance on Donald Trump or even Danielle Smith... Did I miss anything else?

Yesterday morning the road conditions in the city were terrible. On most streets people weren't doing more than 30 KM an hour and many vehicles were getting stuck as no snow clearing had taken place.

Between 6 AM and 9 am I passed 3 photo radar units out set up to give speeders tickets. How does that name any sense given the road conditions? People were barely moving at all let alone speeding.

I'd say there is almost zero chance enough ticket revenue was generated to cover the expense of the people operating the photo radar units

Considering cold & snow, what r ur thoughts living in Edmonton all these years? Do u regret it? Given chance, would u do it again?

i will be leaving the country soon and want to give up my 9 yesr old corn snake to someome who can provide a good home or a rescue centre, want to give this girl a good reliable home, dm if anyone's interested.

Have to paint a pike of stuff and I remember a few years back a big paint store had practically an entire room full of miss tints at a decent price, not Sherwin Williams as they seem to price theirs at 90% of full

Had to book 2 appointments separately to talk about 2 different things (1 test result and one for a medical concern) lol

Hey everyone, me and a couple friends are visiting Edmonton to see our other friend. We want to go out tonight, any recommendations on good spots to go dance? We like lgbtq+ spaces or edm/house/techno clubs especially if there’s a live DJ!!

Thanks for the help!

I'll be interested to know the wider group's thoughts on the proposed bylaw changes for open drug use (potentially decreasing to $25 per offense from $250) versus spitting ($250 per offense) among other updates.

Obviously there is a likely an inability for some people to pay fines; however, what message does it send when spitting is fined at a higher amount than open drug use? This will only further increase some of the disruptions that have become all too common, and equally not address the root causes of the issues we're seeing. Open drug use is a serious issue that warrants more attention than a $25 fine.

Well... trying to quit smoking, but got a craving early this morning. Walk to seven eleven. I cut through a park to get there. On the way back, I hear buddy yell at me. I turn around, he runs up and asks me for a smoke. I give him 2. He then says something about sucking and I'm like "what?" The guy pulls his pants down and starts jerking it like a foot away from me. I walk off. Chatted with some buddies they told me to report to non emergency. Which I did. Honestly I'm alright but what would the situation have been if I was like a 5foot2 female. I kinda wish I did something more than walk away.

Can anyone confirm 134.9 at the Hughes or coop on st Albert trail 132 ave area?

Gas buddy data is 8+ hours old :(

Thanks in advance

The boys and I want to go slap some pucks and maybe sip some fireball but nobody has a rink in their yard, anybody recommend any open outdoor rinks that are open late night?

I know this is a super wild ask lol. But it's on my bucket list to ride in a helicopter and then rappel down the rope. It looks so damn cool and it'd be a great way to do something that scares me.

But I'm not looking to join the CAF to cross this off the list hahaha. I'd like to pay for a program or training or something.

I've tried using ChatGPT and Google to find something but no luck. I'm guessing I need to talk to the manager/owner of some travel company, or find some old retired special ops guy who owns a helicopter (cause these guys are so common lol)

...maybe I can start training by finding a place I can just rappel down a wall.

And I don't want to do skydiving instead. That's way too freaky and not half as cool

Anyone have any ideas or leads on someone I could talk to about this?

For those single and living alone in a property management unit, have you found your utilities to be justifiable? I’m looking at small suites less than 600 square feet with a single garage near downtown that have flat utility rates of $250, making the total $1600 and that’s pretty crazy rent for less than 600 square feet. though I’ve never lived alone and can’t compare to anything, I feel as a single person I wouldn’t use that much and since rents so high already it feels like I’m being scammed lol. obviously not a lot I can do, but curious to hear your opinion on flat rates when living alone

The two I went to ended up being just the average shell gas stations. I have a gift card and need to get some gas.

Hello hello. Does anyone know where covid tests are available? I checked three shoppers, one said that most pharmacies are running out of the free government supplied ones. I'm also willing to pay. Any lead is so very helpful, thanks!

Did anyone here drive to/from Calgary today? How's the highway?

I wanted to go there tomorrow but it'd be my first time driving this stretch this time of year

Or is there a better way to find out if the roads are good instead of asking you all fine people?
