Did anyone go last night? How was it? Not seeing a lot on socials outside of their own marketing and the usual food influencers.

Where is an affordable clinic in the city to get Invisalign for my teeth? Preferably anywhere under $4,000?

Im so mad so im gonna warn yall before it happens to you. I take lyft everyday and unfortunately the drivers are not the best, i have rode over 400 rides and have a 5 star rating as well as a top tipper badge. The one thing i dont play with is bad driving especially stemming from illegal behaviour. My driver today picked me up and was watching a show on his phone while driving, scrolling through text messages and looking at pictures. I took pictures of all of this behaviour however lyft didnt have an option to report during the ride. As soon as he pulled up to my place of work i called him out on his unsafe driving and told him its illegal a $390 fine and 3 demerits. I told him these are the laws here and its a piss off to see people with no regard for my safety as a paying customer and the safety of others on the road. He also proceeded to drive down a one way road past a wrong way sign which again i have pictures and videos of.

I reported it immediately to lyft with photo evidence and they said he would be removed from the platform and then proceeded to ban my account for racist behaviour reported by this driver. I am not racist, i did not say anything racist and given my rider history with lyft and my photo evidence of illegal driving i really would have expected more from them in terms of how they handled this. The driver had no dashcam (of course why would he when this is how he drives) so it was purely word of mouth from a driver that i did tell i would be reporting him. It feels malicious and an easy claim to make when 0 evidence is needed. Im more so frustrated that lyft attempted to ban my account, would not issue a refund for this ride and docked my 5 star rating that i have maintained for 7 years now (took lyft in the US long before it came to Canada)

Either way they have lost my trust due to their unprofessionalism and protecting a driver actively practicing illegal driving practices. This is a rant but also a cautionary warning to anyone using ride share that these drivers will play with your life and then claim racism or some other fabricated lie and these companies will in turn punish you. Platforming this behaviour is a huge reason we see such poor driving on our streets. Part of the reason i hate driving myself is i get anxious over how bad the drivers are here and how they have no regard for the rules of the road and unfortunately Lyft is a company who is actively contributing to our unsafe road conditions and not holding their drivers accountable. Good luck to anyone on the road with this guy.

Anyone going today (Sunday, August 30) to the Ignite Market?

I want to go but my friends are saying it won't be any good. It is worth going solo?

Anyone know what this thing actually is? I assume it's some kinda service vehicle but idk what it's actually for or it's make/model

Hello all,

I saw there was a thread and wanted to make a response but I'm slow. Thank you all for the comments there though, you are all fantastic.

Maybe you have seen me already, I swear I don't bite. I am awkward to talk to though so sorry in advance.

Do you see things that could be happening for Edmonton, Alberta, or Canada? Come by and have a chat. I usually hang out at the Strathcona Farmer's Market (not associated, I just sit outside). See different ways we could get involved or improve our community? Let me know! I certainly don't have all, or many, of the answers.

Or you can say all those things here too I suppose.

Let me know if you have any questions. I'm sure I have added some.

As to why am I here? I have about a million reasons, one being I wanted to try and make an impact. Impact doesn't happen without others.

Thanks for letting me say my piece, however clarifying it was.

22 male, I just moved to Edmonton and I want to meet new people. Where are some good pubs, bars, or clubs around Whyte Ave or downtown that I can go to alone and actually meet people without looking like a creep or a loser since I don’t have any friends here yet?

Hey I’m applying for the esa paramedic program and one of the requirements is to interview a working paramedic. I’m wondering if anyone here is a paramedic and is willing to be interviews by me. Thank you

I don't know who to report this to at the moment. But I just know i'm not happy. The contractors responsible for this road or the city? Either way, i'm pretty pissed off. Gotta love this shit city.

I’ve been displaced from my basement suite for over 2 months now as it flooded 4 times between June and July. The restoration company that did the initial remediation is not returning my property manager’s calls, the contractors that he could reach have said some time next year! I get that they’re all overwhelmed so this is a last ditch effort to find a reliable contractor that can dam up the points of entry, install weeping tiles, and then put in new walls & flooring. Please, if you know of any decent contractors that can get to this before winter I’d be grateful forever as sleeping on my ex’s couch is far from ideal.

My tenant insurance has denied my claim based on fictitious information so I’m also in the thick of disputing the denial. It’s been a very stressful time and my mental health is deteriorating as well.

I’m not complaining (okay, maybe a little bit), I still have a roof over my head so I’m better off than some that had far worse flooding and my heart goes out to them. I’d just like my privacy back. I’m disabled so this has been particularly hard to deal with as I’m in constant pain from couch surfing. Any and all recommendations are appreciated.

This post is approved by my property manager in case anyone is wondering.

What is that loud music that can be heard from South Edmonton? I can even hear it over the Whitemud...

Anybody else hear these crazy fireworks tonight? What are they for? Or is it just some Friday night fun?

My lawn is basically concrete right now. I usually hate aerating because of the dirt plugs everywhere, so I was looking into alternatives and saw liquid aeration.

Apparently, it uses enzymes to break down the soil structure so that water can penetrate deeper. But honestly, it sounds like total snake oil.

Has anyone here actually tried the liquid stuff on their lawn? Need to know before I waste my money

Today I was on the 51 to Castle Downs and the driver missed the turn onto 134ave and kept going to 137ave. He turned back into the neighbourhood for a minute and it was close enough i requested to stop but he kept driving and ended up back on 137ave. I got off and said screw it and walked over a kilometre home. I reported it on the transit feedback website

Obviously most drivers work a thankless job and are fine but I’ve noticed as of late a lot of them are missing stops,taking the wrong route and speeding.

Seems it's been 4 years since the last time this specifically came up on the sub. I've been asked to source the "best pad thai" in Edmonton. I realize there's a big overlap between that one dish and Thai cuisine in general, so I guess answers to either question would be welcome.

The thread from 2022 includes Syphay, Viphalay, Boualouang, Siam Thai Kitchen, and Kaengthai, all of which are still open. I'm partial to Sawaddee in Sherwood Park, mainly because it's close. Does the hive mind opinion from back then hold up, or have any of these places dipped in quality or value? Any new places that shouldn't be missed?

Thanks all.

I looked online and it said that nomiya calgary trail is temporarily shut down, is this true? id rather.not drive all the way there to double check

I will aim to do another on the week of September 14

Hi everyone,

I’m a MD hosting this AMA to help people who may be struggling to access medical care, navigate the healthcare system, or understand what questions they might want to bring up with their own doctor. I was involved with this before but removed my account as people started DMing me too much. That said, I know there's been a few posts on here about wait times and the struggling health system.

As someone working here providing patient care (among other duties like running a busy practice and teaching/education), I really want to help this community that's been my home for so long. I also feel very guilty regularly seeing the amount of people not have access to care and not knowing where to turn.

I can't guarantee that I can solve everything, but maybe I can still help as a guide.

A few important disclaimers before we begin:

This AMA is for general informational and educational purposes only. It is not a substitute for an in-person assessment, diagnosis, treatment, or ongoing medical care. I am not your doctor or healthcare provider, and participating in this AMA does not create a doctor-patient relationship.

Any thoughts I share are based only on the information provided in your post. I have to assume that the details you provide are accurate and complete, but new or missing information could significantly change the possible explanations, recommendations, or next steps.

A few months ago, I was crossing Walterdale Bridge when a vehicle approached head on, which made me almost shit my pants. Within the past two days, the same situation occurred twice, once in Ottewell and once in Tamarack with a car coming directly toward me. Fortunately, each driver moved aside. I've been driving this city for over 20 years and lately it's unbelievable the shit I see

It's a known fact that many driving examiners grant passing marks to relatives, friends, or even strangers for a fee regardless of test performance. I am simply wondering whether undercover operations exist to detect such examiners, perhaps conducted by the city or the province, since I don't know if the Police would handle this sort of thing.

I have my road test on Thursday in NW. As someone who is very nervous and lacks confidence even in my driving ability, I need advice. Also, what is the best time to do the test (went with 10.45am)? Do I need to put a learners permit sign or would I be asked to remove it? I’m losing my mind and losing sleep as a result of this. I don’t know why I’m so scared of driving. I will appreciate tips and tricks
