^ so yah, why were crowds all going to Niagara Falls where they will milk you for a hotel at $1000/nt. I saw on the news that there were small towns further along in the path, that had 100% eclipse, and people sitting on lawn chair with lots of space, like Belleview, ON. Why not plan to go there instead?

I think Niagara got noticed bcos some US TV show coined it to be the best location in N.America to see the solar eclipse, and then the hype just started building on top of itself.

I'm sure the local businesses appreciated the exposure though.

I heard an airline had an eclipse viewing flight this year. Don't know what the specifics were, but that would be kind of cool. No worries of cloud cover, but the experience may not be that good. Flight path issues? I have no idea how that works, but I heard tickets were very expensive.

Right after Salem 2017, I promised myself I would go to Halifax in 2024. Wow, time went by waaaay too fast. I've seen the perfect total eclipse. Some people never see one in their lifetime, so I'm kind of good with that. Thanking my lucky stars.

Yup.............. when I went to Oregon, I had lots of choices. Was going to go to the coast. Saw tonnes of cars parked on the side of the roads and freeway. I switched plans and went to a Lowes parking lot just outside Salem. Went in the Ridgeline packed with snacks and drinks. Lawn chairs came in handy. It was like a Woodstock thing.......... okay, exaggerating a bit.

Oh, went to the local post office, where I got a few Eclipse postage stamp First Day Covers with cancellation on the day. Special cancellation, too.

BTW, Canada Post has a stamp commemorating the eclipse in Canada. It's available in post offices now.

pic from my friend.. not sure if it was from his own camera but he does live at a sub penthouse

Never seen such an image, if its his, thats next level shit

I thought Toronto didn't get totality? Hence why everyone was heading to Niagara Falls. Pic is sus :lol

Why would Niagara Falls be any different, it's literally 70km away across a lake lol

it's enough to make a difference if it's on the edge of totality. Damn I sound like movie trailer guy. "Coming this Summer. The EDGE....of TOTALITY!"

That's a remarkable picture.

I wonder how many people ducked up their eyes looking

I don't think that photo is real, but nice nonetheless...................

Anyone file a claim for reimbursement from CBSA before?
I ordered replacement headlight lenses and when they opened the package, the cut into one of the lenses.

I think you should still go back to the company you purchased from, it's their problem until the moment it's delivered to you... they should have to make that fight, not you.

Sorry to hear.

I found this: https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publicat...5-1-5-eng.html

That should be on the seller, who ships a lense like that? I'm surprised it's not smashed to bits.

How often does this happen? Or how dumb is the general population?

Happens all the time. People are idiots, they don’t take the train seriously. Especially in areas where we cannot whistle. Not all crossings are whistle crossings (Richmond for example) so idiots always try and run the crossings. White rock too… that entire promenade area is no whistle…

I’ve hit a couch out in maple ridge. Fucking springs went everywhere and I had to walk the length of the train inspecting it.

I’ve sliced a few geese out in north van. Then I had to tell a cop cuz apparently that’s against some stupid law

I’ve knocked a bear in the ass on a run to Boston bar

My buddy hit a pack of puppies cuz idiots wanted to take picture of puppies playing on the tracks.

Shit happens everyday
