Safest road to drive in St. John’s in the winter
Anytime it’s snowing in St. John’s and the roads are in hard shape I always hear people say “I’m not taking the highway” referring to Pitts Memorial Drive.
Everytime I hear this I feel like defending the highway in poor driving weather.
The “Arterial” as it is…
St. John’s issues snowclearing tickets on clear night, irks residents
On January 4th St. John’s began issuing snowclearing tickets as promised. They advertised on the radio and on television. I rarely pay attention to either, but even I was aware of the snowclearing date.
All the same, 300 motorists found themselves with hefty $45 snowclearing tickets the next morning…

Street Cleaning – St. John’s Biggest Money-Making Scam
Last night (and the night before) there was street cleaning on my street in Downtown St. John’s. I knew about it because shortly after moving in I got a street cleaning ticket (without warning) and I immediately jumped on the St. John’s Street cleaning mailing list. I also…

I had the exact same problem with Bell when I tried to cancel my mobility account. The day of the end of 3 year contract we cancelled and chose Koodo for our new provider. For 3 months prior we would check on how much it would cost us to buy out early. We checked each month to be informed that we would have to pay $20 for each month and then a $100 fee for cancellation. We decided to wait until contract was up. On that day we contacted them to say that we were cancelling and that Koodo would be taking over the old cell phone number. They told us exactly what to do. We followed their advise on how to do it. Two months later I got a bill saying that we were still on contract monthly with them and now owed them 3 months of service. Service mind you, that they never gave us! You have to give them 30 days notice even when you haven't signed a contract with them and you verbally told them you were not continuing with them. They should have known this as well when Koodo notified them that the number was changed to their provider.Bell Aliant didn't even cancel the plan when Koodo notified them, they waited til the next business day to do so , so they could bill me for another month. I have my home phone/internet/cable with them yet, but am looking for a way out of the contract. I no longer want anything to do with this company!
