Question Power flickering Anders?

Some light circuits in the house have started flickering. Will stop for 10 minutes or longer then start flickering the lights again for about 5 seconds then stop again. Wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same thing. Seems to have just started today.

Hey neighbor this happened to me in Sunnybrook and we wound up discovering that the main power line from the city to our house had through the passage of time with frost heaps and all that eventually saw a tear or slight disconnect in the grounding wire that composes the power line from the city part. We wound up hiring red deer electric and they diagnosed it and fixed it.
