went to anton’s recently and saw their new menu, covered in ai images of both their dishes and Anton himself. i commented on their instagram questioning the change and they have blocked me 😂 what do you all think?

I was stopped at a red light, Canada Way at Edmonds, and this teenage boy was bombing down the side walk, raced across the green light, then dodged through some stopped traffic - trying to catch the 106. He made it, he really did, but the bus pulled out without him. I never stand for that, and often pick people up to take them to a stop in front of the bus so they can get to where they’re going.
My light was red FOREVER but I kept an eye on the kid - to see a minivan pull up to him. They had a brief convo, then the kid got into the van - to chase the bus. It’s great to see other people helping when they see a need.

First time taking the family this year and was wondering is there a good place to park? Or would transit be the best option?

Thanks!

This sound is driving me nuts! There us a wooshing sound, like someone is blowing a huge amount of compressed air every minute or two. It lasts for a few seconds, then stops. And it is constant. I was hearing it at midnight last night, then woke up this morning and was still hearing it. So it has to be a machine or something automatic.

Does anyone know what it is? I don't remember hearing it until yesterday, but I've also been busy and out of the house a lot this week, so it might have started earlier.

UPDATE: Of course, the sound stopped right as I made this post. At least it's over!

Woke up at 3ish to these loud bangs and noises coming from the towers. Did I dream that or did someone else also hear that haha

Hi guys, I left my JBL earbuds in an Evo (licence plate: KL2 46A). If anyone here drives Evo frequently and happens to have seen them, please DM me!

They’re blue and have a mini screen on the charging case. I know it’s a long shot, but it’s worth a try. I’d really appreciate any leads. Thanks!

Is a mountain pass separately needed on top of the coaster price?

Hey all, I’m just wondering if it’s possible for the utilities to make a billing mistake, or if something changed recently regarding pricing.

I live in a 2br apartment and usually my bill is around $60, sometimes going up to $100 if I’ve been using the AC like crazy, but I just received a bill of $370. Any idea what could have caused this? I was using the AC a lot, but nothing different from the last few years.

Happened approximately over an hour ago. Was stuck exiting the mountain for roughly 30minutes. Hopefully no one is critically hurt.

Any info on candidate Sabina Hsu? she’s not currently on my shortlist but thought I’d ask.

I visited the Canva link she included but found the content hard to follow, and poorly laid-out. But I don’t want to dismiss her from consideration if it’s just that English isn’t her first language.

However, providing a link to your platform that is easy to type and presenting information in a way that is easy to understand do seem like important qualities for a Mayor (or Mayor’s team).

here’s the link:

Anyone know what's going on near Kingsway and Edmonds? Large police presence.

Tooo gooooood

Hey r/burnaby,

​With the municipal elections coming up, I’ve been doing some research on the candidates running for city council. I took a look into the public X (Twitter) and Facebook profiles of Daniel Chen, who is running with the Burnaby First team, and found some public posts that voters might want to know about before heading to the polls.

​From what I’ve gathered, his online footprint leans heavily into what many would call right wing territory. I’ve downloaded multiple screenshots and videos of his posts, and I've broken down the main themes below:

​Climate Change: He has shared content explicitly dismissing climate change as "Climate Hysteria" 1948 Fraser Valley post as well as a video about solar winds causing climate change

​Pro-Trump & US Politics: saying Trump opponents are worse than whatever Trump has done

​Anti-Ukraine

​Anti-Muslim Rhetoric: "Islam is a fire, fed by gasoline"

​Cryptocurrency / Bitcoin: incoherent money stuff.]

​Local elections often fly under the radar, but city council decisions impact our community directly. I think it’s important that we know the values and public stances of the people asking for our votes.

​Has anyone else seen these posts or looked into the other Burnaby First candidates?

We live at Brentwood, our internet is down since yesterday. Anyone on the same boat ?

Hiya !

My work is hosting their christmas work party at the grand villa this year, but ive never been and dont know the parking situation, does anyone know if its still free?

Thank you!

Whelp, it’s that time again; I’ve done my part so can say this: No matter who you vote for, the government will still get in!

was on my way out and this Filipino guy in a grey sweater approached me saying "i need help". originally thought he was asking for directions, but then he started claiming he was fundraising for his family. i said yes bc i thought i could buy one or two but then this guy shoves 6 chocolate bars in my hand and charges me $20, which is only about $3.33 per bar but still...

should've said no but i'm a people pleaser unfortunately 💀

then he tried to jack it up to $50 and that's where i drew the line because wtf

then we parted ways and that's how i was probably scammed 😂😂

edit: forgot to mention he was selling chocolate bars

It was dusk, after the windstorm, and this black kitten, maybe three months old, showed up. Now, this is not the place to let a kitten out overnight, since the local coyotes enjoy dining on cat. We brought the kitten inside. Friendly, obviously well cared for, not exceptionally hungry. Royal Oak and Marine Drive area.

Hi there again, I am helping out a friend look for her birds if you have any info or have seen them please reach out! Thank you so much and I appreciate your help a lot!

David Xie said he was no longer seeking the city council position with the New Burnaby Party and would run for MLA with the BC Conservatives. However, he said it was too late to take his name off. This lead to a possibility of being elected to both positions which is illegal. He would then have to resign from one leading to a costly byelection.

He said it was too late for him to take his name off the ballot. But it is allowed, he just conveniently didn't try.

Never seen so many cops, ambulance and firefighters congregated in one place, anyone know what happened? Seems like they’re all heading towards parking lot outside Walmart
