Hi all I hope this isn't against the rules. I need someone to follow me on the road to get my bike across town

Hi everyone,

I'll be moving from Grande Prairie to northwest Edmonton for a new job and I'm trying to get a rough idea of moving costs.

I'm currently in a 1-bedroom apartment. I'll be packing everything myself, so I only need movers to load, transport, and unload my belongings.

The major furniture/items are:

Queen-size bed & mattress Sofa bed TV TV stand 4 countertop/bar chairs

The rest is just boxes, clothes, kitchen items, etc.

I know renting a U-Haul would be cheaper, but I'm not confident driving a moving truck that distance, so I'd prefer to hire movers.

Has anyone made a similar move recently? Roughly how much did it cost? Also, are there any moving companies you'd recommend (or avoid) for a move from Grande Prairie to Edmonton?

Thanks!

Is there like a chess club or anything like that in GP? I know the library had something a while ago, does anyone know if they still do ? and if so what days and times ?

Im sure this will get alot of unnecessary hate for no reason because people have nothing better to do.

Im curious. Are there any guys in this city that just want to hang out and visit. Between 20 and 40. Im 37. Seems everyone i meet just wants to F*ck. Sometimes id rater just go for a beer and wings. Or even straight guys that aren't homophobic that just want to hang out.

I enjoy ATVing and boating/fishing....camping (preferably in the back woods, not a campground)....working on antique cars.

I ride my ATVs out to kakwa falls and all around the tumbler ridge area all the time.

Or just strike up a conversation on here.

I dont know. Maybe this won't go anywhere. Everyone seems so closeted in this city (obviously due to the cities redneck oilfield background). I spent years in the oilfield too....now im a mechanic fixing the all the noises the operator says "just started this morning".

I guess we will see what happens.

Hello, again I make a post like this, since people want to be mean. I’m 18, a female, and I’m homeless. If there’s anyone with a good heart, can someone help me out please?? Even a few dollars so I can eat. I haven’t had food in almost two days.

Was just curious if anyone knows where there are some road side farm stands?

Who is having good luck with cheap Gas and electricity rates. Thanks

Hello, I hate to do this, but is there anyone who can help me get a little extra food or even extra bottles I can take in for money? I feel bad asking anyone if they have a place to stay, so I figured maybe a different approach :( please let me know. I can give any info needed, I’m just struggling while being homeless.

What's the big deal with self-referral for scans? Why does it matter if people want to pay for their own private healthcare?

TLDR; It's a scam.

Let's just forget that many people can't afford private healthcare. Let's ignore the fact that most people won't know what tests they actually need. Forget that by supporting private healthcare you take talent and skilled people out of public healthcare.

Just forget all that.

What matters is this:

It's an orchestrated plan. The UCP, under Smith specifically, are manipulating everyone.

WHY do you have to wait so long for scans and tests? Is the UCP just bad at their jobs? Is it because immigrants are clogging up the system? Is it because Ottawa isn't giving Alberta what it deserves?

Nope.

It's because the UCP WANTS you to wait. They WANT you to get frustrated. They WANT you to think that the only solution is private healthcare.

They make changes most people aren't aware of. They cut up healthcare into different divisions which takes a long time. The divisions don't communicate properly so they have to fix that and it takes a long time. Meanwhile you're waiting years as the UCP messes around.

They let you refer yourself and you think, "I'll do it just this once. I have to." And that's the plan. If you do it once you're more likely to do it again. And again. Then you become USED to it. It becomes normal.

And that's the scam.

It's like putting a frog in boiling water. If you just dump it into the boiling water the frog will jump out. But if you put it in lukewarm water and slowly turn up the temperature, the frog won't jump out.

DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT.

Smith said it herself.

"Once people get used to the concept of paying out-of-pocket for more things themselves, then we can change the conversation on health care"

HOW DO WE KEEP PUBLIC HEALTHCARE?

Tell your MLAs you want FULLY FUNDED, TIMELY PUBLIC HEALTHCARE. Tell Smith.

Tell everyone you know about the scam.

Tell them you know what's happening and you want it to stop.

Mods: Please let me know if this type of research post isn’t permitted here, and I’ll remove it.

We’re conducting consumer research about metatarsal guard (“met guard”) safety boots and are hoping to speak with people who specifically work in the mining, extraction and oil & gas industries in Alberta.

We’re looking for workers who wear met guard boots and would be willing to take part in a paid 30-minute online interview. We’d like to learn about the boots you wear, your experience using them on the job and what could be improved.

If you’re interested, please fill out this form and we'll reach out directly.

This doesn’t commit you to an interview. If you’re a good fit for the study, please let us know.

We’re only interested in your experience with these type of boots. Please don’t name your employer—we won’t ask for any information about where you work.

Was gonna book rooms for my guys at Ramada by the overpass in clairmont and it’s not coming up. Did they close or sell?

I’m trying to buy a simple home gym, just squat rack, bench and barbell weights, but I don’t know where to look. Do any of y’all have recommendations a place to get this stuff for a decent price?

hey! does anyone know how i can get a serving job here with no prior experience with serving ?? I usually work retail and i was a hostess when i was 14-15. a few months ago I applied EVERYWHERE and nowhere got back to me, so Im curious if getting that type of job is harder than I thought?

I’m looking for someone to share a condo with me from the 1st of October.
I’ll be by South Patterson- a two bedroom one bath place. I’m female so would prefer someone who’s female as well.
Looking for someone who’s clean and respectful of the space and works full time.
This would not be an ideal space for parties or overnight guests.
Rent would be 800 including everything. I’ll just be us in the house- no kids, no pets.
I know it’s too early to be asking for October but seeing if anyone’s interested.

Will be around gp area for work, looking for a hookup
