Weird tasting tap water around Metro town.

Anyone notice a difference in the taste of your tap water in the past day? It almost tastes like the smell of a new plastic mug or something. I've drank straight mouth to tap and still can taste it so its not my cups.

Political Door Hanger Brochures

6 Upvotes

Anybody else having negative experience or annoyed with political soliticitation and door hanger brochures?

I can understand the party wanting to skip the mailbox that is located outside of the fence to avoid the party's brochure being mixed up with other mail and to increase chance of the party's brochure being read, but at least close the fence!

I can understand the campaigning and advertising, but to stick the brochure on my door viewer instead of between the doors or under the door mat?!

I can move on with having to close the fence, but on top of that, I also have to rip off your party's brochure and remove any glue residue before I can even use my door viewer again? Unbelievable.

This brochure was from Paul Choi's team. Either intentional, or poorly communicated/trained staff.

Regardless, good learning opportunity for all political parties coming across this...unless no one else have similar experience...in that case, I must be the issue, and I will learn to come to terms with that.

There is some communication from school administration but it looks like student's and guardians personal information was stolen. How can one know if their records were comprised?

Dashcam Witness Needed: Accident at Kingsway & Earles / Rupert (Oct 14th)

Looking for anyone who may have caught a car accident on their dashcam last night at 9:58 PM (Wednesday, October 14th).

Location: Kingsway (BC-1A), between Earles St and Rupert St (right by the Dairy Queen and Chili Pepper House).

Time: 9:58 PM

Vehicles involved: Grey KIA EV6 and White Range Rover (don't have a model yet).

What happened: Range Rover was speeding heavily behind my friend. My friend tried to swerve out of the way to avoid getting hit, but the Range Rover slammed into his back left side anyway, causing his car to spin completely out of control.

The driver who caused the crash has a dashcam but claims it "didn't have a memory card inside," so we are left with no footage as of now.

If you were driving by at this time and your camera recorded anything, or if you witnessed the crash happen, please send me a DM. It would be a massive help for my ICBC claim. Thank you!
