Wtf do you guys use on you everyday shoes for water proofing. I'm a Calgarian who has no idea about water proofing. I got a new pair of LA Coste shoes, applied the usual silicone based spray, but am wondering if there is any thing better. I think I've gotten over the fact that the shoes WILL get wet given how much it rains, but is there any tried and tested water proofing methods that you guys could suggest. Mink oil? Regular application of silicone based spray?

Just more of NDP doing what they do best. Destroying our economy

Lol Calgary hearald... big whoop $1 billion in 10 years. Look at what Alberta is getting when B.C. is bearing most of the environmental risks. How about bc take a royalty of every barrel of oil passes through bc from the Alberta producers?

Too bad we’re the only province with access to the pacific rim. Canada, you want to ship through us? Pay us first imo.

Just used some of my tax return to buy the 12" Dyson desk fan. $100 off on clearance from Canadian Tire.

No regrets at all

Yes, but argument is still the same that BC is bearing the environmental cost and not getting any benefits out of it. BC is able to raise taxes for themselves.

My friend literally beat the piss out of Connor Howell and it was one of the greatest things to happen in high school.

I’m from the town next to his hometown , Oakton,VA. Connor has a fucking MOUTH on him like you wouldn’t believe. I’m not even talking about cursing, I’m talking about verbally abusing girls not directly involved in his clique for absolutely no reason. This kid was simply NOTORIOUS for being a scrawny shit-talker. He knew that several of his good friends were physical beasts (all-state football players) so no one in his school would say anything to him.

New Year’s Eve 2011 was the first time I met him in person while we were in 11th grade at a large house party in NOVA. I went with several of my friends who happened to also be my teammates for basketball and lacrosse. One of my buddies was dating an ethnically Persian girl at the time who accompanied us to the party.

We walk through the door, meet and greet the owners and proceed to the kitchen to enjoy ourselves. Connor is the typical party douchebag, laughing over-enthusiastically to cover for his condescending remarks. Things were actually going decent for a while. We were all moderately aware about his reputation so we were slightly on edge but we’re having a good time until he asked if my buddy’s girlfriend if she flew in on a magic carpet.

It was over in less than 10 seconds. My buddy was 6’2 and must have been weighing 210 lbs. at the time. I don’t think Connor has ever been over 165 lbs in life. My friend hit Connor with a nasty hook so hard that his skull dented the drywall. My buddy then picked both his legs up and pile drives him into the hardwood floors with immediate quickness before delivering at least 3 blows to Connors head that bounced his head off the ground. At this point everyone in the party was looking. He lied there unconscious and began to piss himself while wearing dark grey pants. Kid must’ve had like 20 beers beforehand because there was piss everywhere.

My buddy and his girl leave while the rest of us stayed to see the results. Needless to say, his clique were all running there mouths in similar fashion as Conner. We leave, laugh about it and generally have a good time the rest of the night.

TL;DR: I personally know Connor Howell from highshcool. He is genuinely a terrible person with little to no remorse for his actions. In 2011, my friend punched Connor so hard in the mouth that he pissed himself in front of dozens of people.

And this other homophobic bigot

As a side note............ dat Carly Agro.......:fullofwin:

Our farmers in BC are more honest. :troll:

MG1 investigative reporting/interview........

MG1: So these are from your farm?

Vendor: No, I'm so sorry. I tried to be a farmer and failed. I couldn't grow weeds if I wanted to. Now I buy rejects from the hothouse places and sell them here. I'm so sorry, so solly, so solly......... gulolol.

Hint: Check out the vendors' hands/fingers/face........ a true farmer will look like hell from being out in the hot sun and working their fingers to the bone.

What's a suitable gift for someone that just opened a new business? I was thinking of a bottle of wine around $100.

Bill Cosby found guilty. I hope they lock him up for a long “ass” time.

Sentencing to be determined later.

The three counts — penetration with lack of consent, penetration while unconscious and penetration after administering an intoxicant — are felonies, each punishable by up to 10 years in state prison, though the sentences could be served concurrently.

“Penetration with lack of consent.” Yeah, that’s what’s coming to him in prison.

Vancouver police auction is tomorrow morning. Anyone going?

I've been a few times and it's interesting to see the amount of stolen goods that were never recovered, as well as the amount of random things they end up selling lol. Bags of what seem to be like someone took a hand basket into London Drugs and filled it up with toothpaste, brushes, razors, etc and just ran out the door with it. Power tools stolen from construction sites, Kitchenaid products stolen off shelves, jewlery, and apparently there's a Victoria Beckham blouse that has a value of up to 15,000$

Perhaps I may find a nice simple bike I can use to get some summer exercise.

Do you guys separate plastic cups / bubble tea cups to put in the blue bin? Apparently my mom has been doing that

Came home last night and found out someone took a shit in the backyard on the walkway.

I don't own a dog, so I'm not familiar... but this looks like human shit to me:

Spoiler!

:yuno::fulloffuck:

Yeah, looks like it. Even squatted against the wall, lol.

Took a Mk7.5 Golf R for a test drive this weekend and at the end of it started talking numbers. I spec'd out an identical one online when I got home to see what kind of deal they were offering compared to what vw.ca says and they wanted $60 more per month (after me haggling a bit) so I asked what the reason was for the difference and they said that vw.ca doesn't factor in markup. WTF?

Golf R's are not a limited production car, is this dealer being greasy or is this the norm for dealers? I've never done a deal on a brand new car so maybe I'm missing something but i always thought you only saw markup on cars that were in high demand. This dealer had 5 on the lot.
