Can’t wait for the provincial NDP to come out in opposition over this.

Oh wait, they’re too busy fighting the federal party for new oil and gas developments…

It’s an older way of doing so, deprecated abbreviation for post and mail iirc. Some communities take their name from it a little like Sunalta and perhaps Altadore.

This is what happens when housing is seen as a commodity rather than as a human right.

You get moments like this where people are wanting to tear down literal historical landmarks to try and capitalise on how much money they’re allowed to squeeze out of renters.

“A good move”

Yeah, great move from an indigenous MP siding with the government that not long ago tried to bypass treaty rights for “projects of national interest”.

You’re totally going to get a good voice in with all the Conservatives who crossed the floor, including someone who suggested sending in the military to deal with the Wet’suwet’en pipeline protests.

Idlout’s crossing was dumb and outright pathetic. Like congrats on being the token indigenous person for whenever the Liberals run into issues with indigenous people. “Well actually we’re not trampling over indigenous rights, look, we have an indigenous woman here!”.

Yay, glad that we’re getting a majority that will give no fight whatsoever against AI taking people’s jobs and ruining small communities through noise, increased electricity bills, and water restrictions for corporate profits.

Glad that instead we got a conservative leader who speaks out both sides of his mouth…

Edit: To clarify, I’m talking about Carney here, I see him and the Liberals as a conservative party.

Whyyyyy

I remember voting against the Daylight Savings removal here in Alberta when it came up because I don’t understand why the only option when it comes to removing the swap is to make it permanent rather than not have it at all.

Like congrats, we’re basically changing timezones.

This is the issue with the Heritage Fund. When Peter Lougheed established it and started funding it, the funds were supposed to be put towards investments in other sectors of the provincial economy so that we didn’t have to rely on the boom-bust oil cycle.

Premier after premier has failed to address the issue of the fund. We just hit $30 billion in the fund last year when the value in 1985 was $14 billion. We have done fuck all to diversify the economy here, it’s been all talk, with the only action being backwards investments like a new AI data centre that’ll end up costing more money than it’s worth.

Counter-point, council meetings and open events not being a part of politics radicalises people and further exacerbates the issues we see with political extremism since people become more prone to the thought that politicians aren’t working for them, something that could actually potentially happen when politicians don’t meet with constituents face-to-face.

Ordinary Sausage lookin’ ass.

If he can talk about the issues of American hegemony at Davos, he can hold true to that word in a statement like this.

Oh no, the U.S. is gonna negatively affect trade with us… as if Trump isn’t literally out there threatening to abandon CUSMA, a deal that he made in his first term to replace NAFTA.

If their word never seems to matter, why should we hold ourselves to their standards?

I don’t know if Australia is facing the opioid crisis the same way Canada is, but if these public washrooms are going to be accessible to the public, the government needs to take drug addiction seriously and properly address it with the money and laws that it deserves.

I recently moved back to Edmonton briefly before coming back to Calgary, and where I remember public washrooms being accessible, they were all closed off, or too monitored to make me comfortable. Washrooms that used to be public in bus terminals and downtown pedways were always conveniently “out of service”, and the open ones I did come across offered by the city had two security guards sitting directly outside them.

People wash their clothes in these washrooms, inject and snort drugs, and sleep in these washrooms. Here in Calgary the Exeloos are a running jokes because they cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, and they’re never available because they don’t want people dealing with addictions abusing them.

It’s easy to shit on the healthcare system here, but literally just using Ctrl+F in the article reveals this:

Increased interest from American nurses was also confirmed by nursing associations in Ontario and Alberta, as well as by the nationwide Canadian Nurses Association.
