Here are the highly requested videos of a piece of the racism my family’s experiencing by the self-loathing and unemployed racist (AKA nothing better to do with her time). I recently learned all of this is legal if it’s taken from my home. 3 videos out of hundreds are below.

Video 1 (RAISE VOLUME): neighbour playing n word repeatedly from speaker. Kid and mother are in the blind spot (their door) while they play this over like the cowering racist the mother is.

Video 2: one of the times the neighbour repeatedly harassed us by coming to our door and filming our door to threaten and intimidate us. She did threaten to have someone beat us up so maybe that’s the kind of look she’s going for when she does this.

Video 3: read the date and look how far back this goes. Neighbour yells “fk you n**ers” at our open window… just for having it open. You guys would not believe how our open windows drive her crazy.

Thank you to everyone who said kind and supportive things. And to the few crazy haters in the comments or racists in my DMs, I hope you find some peace far away from me. 💀

YegWave still hasn’t replied but will post on TikTok and Facebook. Any Facebook group suggestions? Also, if anyone could, please message YegWave on instagram and ask them to post the footage. Maybe they think it’s not worth it and won’t garner views but that’s the only way authorities could act.

Visiting family in another province. What are some goodies I can bring that are from Edmonton? I was thinking Jacek chocolates, but wondering if others have a better suggestion.

My husband and I are both working professionals with work between regular hours. We are also new parents.

Ever since we started daycare, our kid has been getting sick very often. And we understand that it's very normal occurrence. It happens. Hand foot, mouth disease, chickenpox, bad cold, throwing up, covid etc.

How do you guys do it with work etc.? I'm having to pick up my kid in the afternoon and I have to take time off work. There's only so much time I can take off. My husband can't take it off because he is a first responder and these things usually are called last minute. My workplace hasn't said anything but I feel bad doing this so often.

I was at Southgate in the food court today scarfing poutine and I was so happy to see all the groups of friends, laughing, high fiving, conversing, hanging out. All you guys (and gal(s) sorry) were lovely. Don’t let malls die - our youth need a safe place. Source: I’m old and feeling nostalgic… malls are where we went too…

My neighbour was blasting the N word on speaker from their backyard. Repeatedly. I think it was a pronounciation of the word from google or YouTube that was on loop. Started as soon as I got home today, actually. This is the second day of this.

They have made my life hell ever since they moved in. I am not white and that was their problem. Since day 1, it’s been nothing but slurs and threats. Police and landlord did nothing even with evidence. I reached out to lawyers but there’s not much they could do either.

They have now stopped blasting the N word and have been blasting music (mostly violent songs, lol) for the past 6 hours. To be specific, it’s a parent who is teaching and enabling a 6 year old child to do the speaker stuff. Talk about racism that extends beyond generations! Noise complaints will be useless, and as always, I’ll be accused of being petty since I’ve reported her racism.. even with evidence. Lots of regrets there.

Any ideas as to what I could do? Not very hopeful so it’s fine if I’m told I’m out of options. Thanks.

In case you haven't heard, there's a number of people boycotting Loblaws and its stores in May to protest the rising cost of groceries. I'll also be avoiding Sobeys and Save On since they're just as bad and are even less affordable than Superstore or No Frills.

Whether or not people decide (or have the ability) to participate in the boycott or not, I was hoping for suggestions on the smaller grocery stores we should support that are relatively affordable.

I've been shopping at H&W Produce more (the Mill Woods location), but I find some of their produce can be hit or miss: some stuff is fresh, but other products look like they're about to spoil soon. It's still a much better bargain than Superstore, but I find that I can't get all the fresh produce I need there and supplement my purchases with farmers markets.
