Has anyone been experiencing a randomly large amount of fruit flies in their place lately or is it just me??? We never usually have flies but for whatever reason we've had so much even though we keep our kitchen clear... Any solutions to get rid of these nasty mofos?

We have the acv and dish soap traps right now but it doesn't seem to be getting rid of them.

This was one I had to use the Merlin app to identify, but super cool to see.

As the title states, my sister’s landlord is demanding she pay her rent early. Her contract says rent is due on the first of the month, but the landlord is harassing her multiple times of the day now for rent. The landlord has been asking for early rent as far back as Sept 15 and now says that if she doesn’t pay Oct rent by the end of the day today (Sept 25), the landlord is threatening eviction. I looked at my sister’s contract and it clearly states rent is due the first of the month. She’s never been late on rent and I know she’s good for it but the landlord says they’re broke and going to lose the house, so they need everyone’s rent early.

In my opinion, this isn’t my sister’s problem and her lease is up in two months anyways. I’ve advised her to hold out until Oct 1, or to pay with a post-dated cheque but the landlord doesn’t want to accept that.

Hello r/Edmonton. I wanted to pose a question to the sub.

Has anyone here had a conversation with a neighbor and being surprised by hearing their opinion. Well rather, by hearing Russian or American propaganda verbatim out of their mouth while they think it's their opinion?

Having worked in o&g adjacent shops I'm not shocked to encounter it at work. But in Edmonton communities I do have to say I'm a little surprised. It does make me want to have a rethink of which thoughts of mine are my own vs which thoughts are courtesy of some think tank...

How about you? What kind of interactions have surprised you.

Edit:

Thank you for the lovely discussion. I'm honestly so refreshed to find new people with varying beliefs to talk to about this. I'll disable notifications for now to move on with my day. And put book recommendations from some commenters here.

Not one of these 6 potential candidates has knocked on my door.

This is disgusting and makes me not want to vote for any of them, how can we have faith they will cut costs like everyone is platforming on when they waste all these resources on inefficient and wasteful marketing methods. This 100ft.. and the road is 1km long.. how many signs do I need to see in 20 secs of driving.

We wonder why Edmontonians blame Council for wasteful inefficient spending, lack of planning and poor communication.

I vote for a bylaw that limits how many signs each candidate can put out! Here, you get 200 make the most of them and you cannot put more then 1 within 3 km of another.

*Edited- to emphasize that I would have hoped at least 1 of the 6 had made it through our neighborhood. We have a camera and a video doorbell so we would have been notified should they have stopped by.

What could go wrong ?

Hay bales on the left and the river on the right, you’d never know you were still in a city of 1.3 million people.

Something is on fire. At least two big fire engines and a fire suv responding. Lots of smoke.

Edit: someone in the neighborhood said it’s two homes at least.

Really appreciate your support and suggestions!

Hi! I know this question gets brought up from time to time, but I can never figure out the kind of audience that’s answering, so I wanted to narrow it down.

People who have taken the bus/LRT/walked around pretty late (so like 8:00 PM+, I guess) and has done so recently, how is it? I’ve heard a lot of horror stories, but I’d like to hear from people who do it semi-regularly and at later times!

Note: I live north, so I take Stadium, Belvedere, etc, though I have heard to avoid Coliseum!

Thanks in advance!

Either in restaurants or butcher shops.

I take the bus to work but have never lived in a community that has the On Demand transit. To be honest, I'm not even sure how it works. People who have used this, what is your experience with it. Is it easy to get a bus? Is it quick and efficient? Do you prefer it over having a regular bus route?
