Hi redditors,

I was looking for any dentist for regular dental cleaning. I saw online ads for platforms like opencare.com where they reward you $100/150 for first dental visit. My insurance covers 100%. Unfortunately there's no participating location in Peterborough but wantes to check if any of local dentists have any promos. Not trying to be greedy, but I am pretty sure dentists here certainly overcharge. Last time I went for cleaning, they charged $565 to my insurance.

I recently got my citizenship and applied for the passport at sevice canada on July 8th. I choose normal application since I didn't have any plans to travel. But now it looks like I will have to go on business trip on Aug 30th.

However acording to website, the normal application should take about 20 business days only. As of today, mine has already taken 25 business days and still stuck on review stage. I have tried to reach out to customer care and they said there's nothing wrong but they're just having delays.

I still have about 2 weeks before I need the passport. Is it worth to expedite by paying $45 fee and drive 2 hrs from my home to pickup? (Its absurd to pay extra for their delay and drive 4 hrs in total)

If someone recently applied their passport and received it, can you guys please share timelines?

Thanks in advance.

Hey everyone,

I’m checking the engine oil on my 2023 Hyundai Elantra Luxury (2.0L engine) and I’m a bit confused by the dipstick reading.When I pull it out, I see small streaks of oil trailing up the stick above the F (Full) mark to all the way in middle of stick. The actual solid line of oil seems to be right around the F mark, but these random streaks higher up are making me second-guess. This has been going on since I got the car. I haven't overfilled oil, since its about 4.5 qt oil

Is it normal for the dipstick tube to just scrape residual oil onto the stick on the way up? For context, I’m wiping it completely clean, reinserting it all the way, and checking it about 10 minutes after turning off a warm engine.Has anyone else noticed this on the 2.0L Smartstream engine? Appreciate any insights!

Hello fellow Canadians – I just had the worst airport experience of my life with Porter Airlines, and I need to warn you all. Booked a direct YYZ to SFO flight through BudgetAir for $921 CAD (2 passengers). Showed up on time with all docs, proof of payment, IDs – everything.

At the gate, agent Dandre (employee #7706) denied us boarding because the ticket wasn't bought with my physical credit card. News to me – BudgetAir handled payment (standard for 3rd-party sites). We begged, showed receipts, but nope. Missed our flight. Had to scramble for United tickets at $1,555 CAD with stops both ways.

Called BudgetAir support from the airport – dismissive rep hung up, no manager available. Porter? Zero help. Not sure if I will even get refund for the flight since they denied boarding.

What They Did Wrong

- No advance warning about their weird credit card rule.

- Zero accommodations despite it being their policy BS.

- Left us stranded during a crisis.

Under APPR, this smells like denied boarding compensation ($900+ per person?), but good luck getting it.

Has this happened to anyone else? Porter victims unite – what's your story? Upvote if you've been screwed by them too.

I am thinking about taking a legal action, do you guys think we can sue them for inconvenience and added cost?

UPDATE: Just FYI, lot of people mentioned its budget air problem but the ticket was confirmed. The porter agent said there was no issue with payment. They said they randomly select some passengers to verify payment.

On porter website it clearly says you can book flightfor someone else. (See photo)
