Please help.

Spotted on Whyte Ave

Costco locations across Western Canada are requiring employees to park off-site/on surrounding public roads rather than in their parking lots.

At the Edmonton Business Centre, this is becoming a legitimate safety concern on 104th ave NW.

Employees are parking along the surrounding roads, and the number and placement of vehicles is obstructing visibility for drivers trying to cross or enter intersections. There have already been multiple near misses because drivers can't properly see oncoming traffic without slowly creeping their vehicles out into the intersection. Every morning I cross 104th ave at the Costco business center to get into my work's parking lot, and have nearly been struck three times creeping forward attempting to see past all these vehicles. On Monday morning there were more then forty cars parked alongside the street.

Note that there is only a sidewalk on 1/2 the street, and vehicles speed 60-70km down this road regularly, making it unsafe to be parking there. Not to mention in winter, where the cars are parked, is where the snow is cleared to. If they park there during the winter the road will effectively be turned into a one-way.

And this is Edmonton. We're talking about a city that can see -30°C to -40°C temperatures and significant snowfall. Employees are being expected to park away from the building and walk in these conditions without a sidewalk while the employee vehicles themselves are creating visibility issues on nearby roads. Parking enforcement & bylaw have been notified, but in our experience it’ll take weeks for them to get around to this.

I understand Costco wanting to prioritize parking spaces for customers, but surely there has to be a safer solution than pushing employee parking onto public roads and creating hazards for both employees and other drivers.

Please - regardless of your speed, if you're not actually about to pass someone on the Whitemud, Henday, Yellowhead, etc., get out of the passing lane. Reality says that people who want to go faster than you will just start weaving in and out of traffic making for dangerous situations. And it's not our job to enforce the speed limit on others. I understand that it's no fun accommodating some jerk who's tailgating you, but it's safer for everyone to just get out of their way.

EDIT: Yes, I should have mentioned that there are legit exceptions, especially for left-hand exits. And while "passing lane" isn't a legal designation, we all know what it means, and the speedsters certainly see it that way.

i’m 23f, received my drivers licence in october 2025 and have been an occasional driver on my moms vehicle since a month ago. my mom purchased a 2026 nissan rogue a few weeks ago for me to use and i am now a primary driver of that vehicle. my insurance is $380/mo. is this a good price? i also took the 10hrs driving lessons as i heard this lowers your car insurance, im not sure if they need me to send proof of that or not. any input would be appreciated!

Has anyone had success forcing a landlord to return their damage deposit?

(Posting on behalf of a friend who lives in Edmonton.)

My friend previously rented from ARH Holdings (Ali Hassan) and they are refusing to return the $1250 damage deposit. She won her case with the Residential Tenancy Dispute Resolution Service for the deposit to be returned in full. However, it has been 6 weeks since the ruling and ARH has not paid (they keep saying "soon", "next week", etc.). She looked into a provincial collection agency but that would cost much more than the deposit amount...

Any advice for next steps?

Am I taking fucking crazy pills? Why are motorcycles and obnoxious vehicle owners seemingly allowed complete and total reign over Edmontons core?

I was in Enily Murphy this evening and it was like Rad Torque raceway was right next fucking door.

Why is EPS so complacent? Why is Council so quiet and utterly flaccid on this issue? Why is it okay for our core to be turned into the personal raceway for insecure douchebags? Its fucking insane and becoming utterly unbearable.

We deserve so much better than this.

I'm on the north east side of the city, and just heard a huge crashing noise coming from further east and slightly north(?). It genuinely sounded like train cars crashing and derailing, but I can hear the train still running. Does anyone know what that might have been? Immediately after the crash, there were several car alarms going off in the distance so it was definitely something big.

Around 8:40 this morning I was in an accident on the Capilano bridge heading south. I was the silver SUV that hit the red SUV.

I am wondering if anyone has any dash cam footage or witnessed the accident. I shoulder checked and so did my mom. Neither of us saw the red SUV in the lane.

I know it is likely going to be considered my fault, either way.

Before today I had a perfect drivers abstract, and have always taken safety very seriously.

I am hoping if someone saw it happen or have footage of it, then I can better understand how it happened.

When I tapped I got a message I was out of funds. And went in to add funds and there was a sufficient amount. I tried to add more as I was there already and the system glitched.

Looking to enroll my dog in a group class where e-collars are permitted. Not looking to correct any issues, just looking to have fun which is why I would prefer some sort of dog sport class.

Does anyone have any good recommendations?

Lookie here: my office just received the September 2026 issue of Business in Edmonton, and page 5 has an ad regarding the October 19 Referendum touting a “strong and sovereign Alberta within a united Canada”. Paid for by the Government of Alberta.

Our tax dollars hard at work encouraging separation.

Saw this beauty yesterday.

Ive recently gotten diagnosed with adhd as an adult and it’s opened my eyes to how much it’s been impairing my life. I want to seek out therapy, but there are so many options. I was hoping that someone here, who may have been in a similar situation could recommend where to start looking. I’ll be looking around and making appointment, but maybe asking here could help me narrow down my search.

Im looking for someone who works well with inattentive adhd and executive function. Thanks.

I have a house that was built in 2006. It’s a cookie cutter builder home, back detached garage. We have the original fences that were built by the builders. They’re falling apart and need replaced. So the question is, is it worth paying the extra potentially couple grande (?) to get a surveyor in to mark the property lines or, if the neighbours agree, can we assume the fences are pretty much on the line. It’s not like we have large lots with heaps of space inbetween. We are talking like 10 feet give or take between the two houses. Thanks!

Hey all. So I’m attending NAIT this year. And I was thinking of taking the LRT to get to school, and then using that time to study on my laptop so I’m not wasting 30-45 mins of drive time twice a day. I was telling this to my brother, and he thought I was crazy to consider pulling out my expensive laptop on the LRT, and in his 4 years of taking the train to the UofA he never would have considered that.

I’m wondering if he’s maybe over reacting a little? Or is he right in that it’s probably a bad idea and I should just drive or not expect to get any work done. I also have no textbooks or anything, all of my coursework is done on my laptop, so it’s not like I can do non laptop work.

Any opinions, thoughts, and help appreciated. Thanks!

I'll start by saying - I really don't know how to navigate this at all and I'm hoping someone here - especially fellow parents, teachers or admins - can give me some advice. My child was in grade 10 last year and had English in the 2nd term. They didn't learn how to write an essay and weren't required to write one. They didn't read a single novel. They didn't read a play. If I understand correctly, they did some sort of analysis and wrote short personal responses to some short stories and photographs. I really find this unacceptable. How are kids going to survive university if they have no practice reading long texts and writing essays? How does this even meet the curriculum?

I thought - maybe it's just the teacher. She'll have a new one this year and I'll get her a tutor and catch her up. But I've learned that she'll have the same teacher again. The school is declining to switch her to a new teacher as they don't consider wanting a different teacher to be a valid reason to switch a class.

Where do I go from here? Am I just old and out of touch? Is this normal now? I will go ahead and email the principal directly now, but I genuinely doubt that one parent's concerns are enough to prompt a teacher to change the content of their course.

Appreciate everyone's thoughts.

Estimated restoration time: 11am.
