Nice. I actually had no idea I was paying for this religious subsidy for wealthy people.

I personally think there is a question to why it's costing $140 per tree. I bet some folks would happily do it for vastly cheaper. Especially given their plan of volunteers doing it.

However they're right. Drop services, increase taxes.. tale as old as time in KW.

Waterloo committee votes to find Christmas trees dumped in random locations until next Christmas

Gosh violence is boring when it’s not a mass shooting.

He’s contacted several graffiti companies to inquire about the removal.

Lol.

Are house numbers different in Ontario? Are the rsndom? Here if I saw a house between 5119 and 5115 I would know it is 5117.

thanks for this reminder! sometimes I forget basic safety stuff like this . . . .

If they didn't I wouldn't be surprised if they saw a sudden increase in "undeliverable" packages.

Someone needed to, and this driver was that someone.

"Owen said he’s still angry about the permanent marker and is working to cover it up. He’s contacted several graffiti companies to inquire about the removal."

oh... fucking grow up. No, you will not get a cash settlement from Jeff Bezos.

Lol I bet you're right

Serious.

If you ever call 911 for a medical emergency, send someone* outside to flag down the ambulance.

*Ideally, there's one person to stay on the line with the 911 operator. The operator will be able to give first aid instructions.

Homeowner created the problem situation, then creating the conditions the driver would suffer for the homeowners choices. I don't have sympathy for the homeowner on this one.

You know what else? He's a homebuilder, he knows cleaning that off is simple. He just wanted people to hear his bitching. Fuck this guy.

Entitled rich homeowner whines to local news buddy. Ends up fucking himself.

In the U.S. at least, a new house doesn't get a certificate of occupancy without permanent numbers attached to the house.

I wonder if he removed his, as he's a home builder, since apparently, it's a law there, too.

In the City of Waterloo, there is a bylaw requiring homeowners to have a clearly visible house number displayed on the property.

Sounds me like he Streisand himself.

This story likely alerted inspectors who sent him a letter to fix this within a set amount of time before fines start stacking.

The larger reason for having numbers on your home is so the fire department can easily find your home if it's on fire.

Owen said his family has since ordered the numbers for their house.

So what the driver did worked. They're putting numbers on the house. I hope this man is laughed at.

You want things delivered, you need a house number. Troll.

The driver definitely shouldn't have done that, but the homeowner is overreacting. This did not need to be a news story.

The provincial government is making it clear it has no respect for municipal representatives, and literally any decision on any mundane portfolio from zoning to transit to development is subject to being overruled based on whomever bribes the Premier's office most recently. Serious candidates are going to look elsewhere if they have that option.

Having said that I am happy to be able to vote for Scott Piatkowski

I'm a bit shocked at the candidates to be honest, I was hoping for more constructive platforms.

Big oof. But yup, that's the right URL. I'll update my post here and also let the sensei know.

Thanks for letting me know about that broken link!
