Where can I find 18/8 thermostat wire? Regular hardware stores like home depot/rona don't offer 8 wires.

Any reason if in a pinch you can't run 2 parallel runs of 18/4 if more readily available?

otherwise Amazon seems to be 50% of for 18/8 t-stat cable at the moment, lots of various shorter lengths

Where can I buy replacement spray can nozzles?
Still have about 50% of a can left, but the nozzle is clogged because I didn't clean it before storing it. Running brake clean + compressed air through didn't clear it, so I started sticking things in it and of course ruined it rather than clearing it.

I have about a dozen you can have. They should be clean since the cans were emptied

Speedy Glass and other glass shops carry it, but I think they apply the stuff as a service.
I still have one that I purchased from the speed syndicate. Haven't tried it yet. I will do that now, if I can find it. Thanks for reminding me I had it. 
If it works well, I'll know to pm Euro7r.

Besides T&T, are there any asian fresh fish markets around Burquitlam or Burnaby (Capitol Hill area)? Cousin from HK recently moved to Capitol Hill in Burnaby and wants to find a place to buy fresh fish.

SunChips - original flavor
The original ones that come in the bag of Munchies. All I ever see are the cheddar and french onion. I've checked while shopping at Walmart, London Drugs, Safeway, Save on foods, Shoppers, Costco, etc. etc. Can't seem to find them anywhere.
Anyone ever noticed them around in any stores?

Not exactly buying a physical good but rather a service.
Parents' lot need a hwy access engineering drawing done. Nothing fancy... really the existing entrance would have suffice, but Ministry of Transportation doesn't seem to like that idea. This is in interior BC near Revelstoke
Called many of the larger civil/road engineering firms and they are all quite booked through until later half of 2022. I thought I'd ask here to see if any RSer have any connections or are in the field can hook me up with the right person to have this done ASAP.

Plus with the recent events they're going to be scrambling to win MoTI work.
You best reach out to the smaller one-man type outfits and just go shopping.

It's just the list of companies that MOTI sent me are all larger firms and as you said, it's probably not worth their time.
