1. Learn what a free-flow turning lane means. You do not have to yield or merge, it is a designated lane for you to enter the roadway.

Your last sentence is absolutely dead on. Just be predictable. I’ve had people stop on a road (they were going South, I had a stop sign facing East and trying to turn to go North) and wave me through even though they didn’t have a stop sign. I just sat and waited until they kept going. I’m not gonna get in an accident…

In Alberta neither the merger nor the mergee? has the right of way. It is legally a shared responsibility.

I think the difference is that it is quality analysis. As an Edmonton example there was recently an article on Sportsnet from an Oilers beat writer that said “Nugent-Hopkins needs to improve his faceoffs to justify his spot on the team.” You don’t get hot-take garbage like that on The Athletic. As of yet, no one is…

I’m in Edmonton and I totally agree with the coverage here. There are some excellent Oiler’s centred blogs but the quality on The Athletic far surpasses the quality on the other sites (not including Lowetide). I think that there is a huge appetite for quality writing and in Edmonton this seems to be one of the only…

Well it is my understanding that the number one cause of divorce is financial stress so it would stand to reason that couples that are both better with money (financial education) and make more money (also related to education) would be less likely to divorce. Also, I would guess that this is a self-perpetuating cycle…

This is good advice. I often check on beeradvocate for the proper serving temperature of the beer I am drinking. I want to appreciate the beer so I may as well drink it at its optimal temperature. If you want to have a quality craft beer in a frozen glass then that’s your prerogative but I appreciated articles like…

I was shocked at how blatant that was but apparently it’s pretty common. I live in Edmonton and it’s very rare to see such a clear-cut-case of running the light.

That’s actually why I stopped doing that style of workout. The law of diminishing returns is in full effect at that point. Some of my workouts were taking >90 minutes and so I needed to change things up. I’ll go back to them someday.

Yes. I worked at it about 18 months and basically converted, I would estimate, 10-15 lbs of fat to muscle. I didn’t lose any weight but lost 3 inches on my waist and significantly bulked up (although I’m not big at all). Most of all I developed a massive increase in muscle endurance. Went from doing maybe 10 push-ups,…

“Watching the tape” is the sports version of the religious “God told me...” it’s apparently meant as some sort of get-out-of-jail-free card when you have bad opinions or actions.

Michael’s is the worst store.

When I was going really hard at body weight exercises I would do as many as 200 in a single workout, 50 at a time. Now, about a year after switching to free weights instead, probably 40.

When I was used car shopping I went to my mechanic (whom I trust completely and have recommended to many family and friends) to ask his opinion on cars that had major work done on them. He said unless you are getting it for 90% off market value he wouldn’t consider it, and even then there is an element of risk,…

I don’t know if the correct answer is Cuthbert but it sure as hell isn’t Hughson.

Yeah, I would be shocked if they weren’t the Canadian cities left standing.

****Peterborough has the worst unemployment rate in Canada.

It’s ok that reading comprehension isn’t your strong suit, I’ll say it again with it clearly laid out. None of the companies that have their corporate headquarters in Calgary left. That means there is still a “massive corporate pool.” I didn’t say that they didn’t fire people because, when referring to the financial…

The difference being that there was an appetite both from the public and the politicians to get a deal done. Whereas Calgary has very little support from either. Also, Edmonton currently has $5.5b in construction projects going on downtown concentrated near the new arena. It’s a little bit of chicken and egg but it…

Yeah it’s doubled in the last 20 months and while those companies have struggled they didn’t leave.
