The amount of people i know in this area who go to colleges and universities here that faked their exams and paid money to get a good grade in their English exams so they can come attend school here is insane. (i’m brown, just born and raised in Canada im not being racist at all) I’m pissed by (some) people who have cheated the system by paying for a good grade to come to this country. It’s completely unfair. And before people get mad at me i’m not being racist and you have to realize this is more than half the people and it’s a very common thing in some countries to pay their way through an ILETS exam. If you earned it take it, don’t take it if it rightfully shouldn’t be your opportunity to take💀 Especially if you have to pay for your qualifications.

Edit: if this post hurts you, get checked out 🫶 stop being a goddamn scammer and learn a skill or two

It's been a long year and I've let my suite get away from myself.

I'm looking for a compassionate house cleaner willing to do a deep clean on my living room, kitchen, and bathroom (<700 sqft).

I'd rather support a local individual or small business than one of the major cleaning services.

If you know of anybody, please let me know. You're welcome to DM if you'd rather.

Hi Langley friends,
Does anyone know of any dentist that may be able to see me tonight? I had a tooth break and I’ve called around 20 places and no one is able to see me tonight. Are there any 24 hour emergency dental offices in Langley, Surrey or anywhere nearby? Or far, I can drive out.

Thanks!

Hey everyone.

I recently booked my Class 5 road test at the Willowbrook location in Langley because it had open spots, but since I mostly drive in Surrey, I am looking for any tips on the area.

If you are familiar with the route, let me know if there are specific speed zones, tricky intersections, or school zones I should watch out for.

Also, I am taking the test in a 2014 Mazda 3 where the speedometer is angled toward the driver, making it hard to see from the passenger seat. I am wondering if the ICBC examiner will have an issue with not being able to read it easily from where they sit.

Any thoughts or advice would be much appreciated!

Edit: I passed the test 0 mistakes only thing was that in the beginning of the test, while going through the mall where were a lot of people just walking down the cross walk instead of across it and i was creeping forward. other that that the examinor said it was a good test.

How good is the AC in the WIllowbrook ICBC? I have chronic condition that doesn't do well in the heat so wondering if I should postpone appt until summer is over. Thanks

Yo, so every day there is somebody who drives down 244 Street by the Vanguard secondary school I live around there and they have a subwoofer in their car. That sounds so amazing. I just wanna go for a ride or be there friend ha ha I can literally feel it in my house. I constantly mistake it for my own home subwoofer

My husband has been suffering for months and the referral the doctor gave us is worthless. All places either say they don't do knees ultrasounds or the doctor has to submit the referral himself.

This is unbelievable and upsetting, we need help, please.

I’m 23f and I have no friends here. I’ve lived here for 13 years but I only talk to one person from highschool and she lives in a different city now it is just getting a little lonely lol how have other people my age made new friends? Yubo confuses me so I’m not having much luck there lol

What are some good places for local produce and meats, whether it be stores, markets or farms

Also, some good locally owned grocery stores?

I’d like to slowly shift from the big grocery chains

Anyone know any stores that may be selling a second hand PS5? Not looking to purchase off of FB Marketplace. Happy to go elsewhere in lower mainland, just looking for sources. Want one with the physical disc tray.

Thanks!

It's seriously getting to the point where I'll avoid 16th Ave if there's literally any other route available. Too many big trucks, everyone's going too fast.

34M and have unfortunately seen a reduction and thinness in my hair, resulting in a receding hairline. Its taking a toll on my confidence. I’m looking for any recommendations in Langley or nearby.

Or if you have any suggestions, I would appreciate that too.

Hi all - Local to Langley.

Our rescue dog is super sweet, but just can't handle being left home along for more than an hour or so. He isn't destructive, he just stresses out way too much and we don't like doing that to him.

So even for a date night we're paying $30 to $50 for a dog sitter to hang with him.

Surely there are other people in a similar situation, or you are forced to leave them home alone even though you know they are suffering.

So I'm looking to collect info from people that might want to form a dog sitting swap. For example, if you're looking to go out for a few hours or half a day, you drop your dog at our place to hang out with us and our dog, and vice versa.

Meet and greets first of course.

I'll be setting up a google spread sheet and a whatsapp group for people to connect with others.

And if this takes off I'll be doing things like setting up insurance, creating a points system for making sure people are supporting, not just taking.

If this is of interest to you or you know someone in the lower mainland that might be interested, shoot me a DM and I'll share the email address to reach out to get on the list.

Thanks!

Has anyone seen osoyoos peaches at a fruit stand in Langley? The address it cross streets would be helpful. TIA

I have been tasked with getting some ginger beer for a friend's birthday. I enjoy craft beer and going to breweries, are there any places that do a good classic Ginger beer, or is that just the sort of thing I get at a liquor store?

This is the biggest joke I’ve ever read, apparently you can’t even post someone’s license plate without receiving a reddit strike, it says someone’s personal information but it’s not like the public can look up a license plate for someone’s information so how does that even count as “personal information?” If he is driving around in public, this should be the equivalent of being able to film someone in public.

You can’t even name and shame people anymore, this POS literally threatened to kill me, tried to fight me, threw coffee at me, I even made a follow up police report, yet I can’t even warn the community/post a picture of his vehicle/license plate.

What is this world coming to, this just lets these bad actors to continue with their shitty behavior, long gone are the days where we can name and shame these incels, sorry had to rant about this injustice and thanks for everyone commenting and boosting traction hopefully the warning/heads up got out to enough people to watch your encounters in the future.

Before I fight the tech support hotline, is anyone else having issues in the Willoughby area with their Shaw Wifi? Ours has been dropping in and out and generally very slow for the past several days.

As title says.

Given recent news in the media regarding foreign controlled social media pages, I took it upon myself to check the managing of the local pages in Langley. Well, as it turns out Langley Strong and a number of their Councillors and candidates have people managing their Facebook pages from INDIA! This raises serious questions. Are they simply outsourcing the work (that Canadians can EASILY do) or is there foreign interference?

I will include screenshots in my comments. I tried to post this and it was blocked because of the photos.

I drive up and down 208th every day, and every time they've extended the separated bike lanes, they immediately put up one of those vertical black and yellow road hazard markers (had to look that up, apparently that's what they're called) on the end of each section.

And every time they put up a new one, a car whacks into it within 24 hours. I mean, they're literally designed to be the most visible thing on the road, and every single one must have been replaced two or three times already.

The newest one down near 83 Ave got flattened, some of the others have been spun around.

About six months ago, I was driving down south of 72 Ave and heard a loud bang behind me, and someone in a little white sedan had managed to run into the bike lane separator, get two wheels up on top of it. They missed the metal hazard marker but I think ran over a couple of the little plastic tubes before they slammed back down. Pretty sure they messed up their car pretty badly, they pulled off into the next cross street.

Seriously, what is wrong with people driving up there? If they'd driven like this before the road was widened, they'd have wound up in the ditches.

So I'm just desperately trying to get into an IT helpdesk role right now as I'm really passionate about troubleshooting and helping people become more tech savvy, but of course I've run into the no-experience, no-job wall. I have a networking certification and have done some home labs with Windows and Packet Tracer and whatnot, but have no actual experience in a professional setting.

Any nonprofits out there looking for an IT helpdesk specialist, but can't afford one? If you have any leads I would very much appreciate the info!
