I've said it before and I'll say it again.
If you can't pick up after your dog, you don't deserve to be a pet owner.
Copy-pasting my comment from the crosspost:
Can we stop with the "strategic voting" bullshit?
Go ahead and "strategic vote" but don't come around complaining when Canada ends up being a two-party state like our oh-so mentally sound southern neighbours.
Edmonton, and I attended from I think 2005-2012.
I want to say "good", but having been a kid with shitty parents, I genuinely think this is going to be doing more harm than good.
I remember back in elementary we had to pay lunch fees in order to eat at the school during lunch. It was apparently to help pay for the people who supervised us during lunch break, since the school didn't provide food. Since my parents gave priority to my father's alcohol and cigarettes as he sat on his ass playing computer games all day adding nothing to our tight budget, they would never pay for the fees.
It felt like a double punishment having parents who didn't care enough to pay said fees, and a school that put that responsibility on you as the student to advocate for yourself to your own fucking parents or else they'd have you sit in the office's old nursery alone doing nothing each day for 45 minutes as everyone else had recess.
I get that this is different from that cause it's a health and safety issue, but this genuinely feels like it's punishing the students who are already powerless and have awful parents, and I wouldn't be surprised if this grows dissent with the education system as they grow up. Surely there's better options that target the parents?
According to the City of Calgary’s Integrity and Ethics Office annual report delivered to city councillors on Sept. 17, 2024, there were 51 complaints made under the Code of Conduct for Elected Officials Bylaw. Forty-eight of those complaints were dismissed, with the rationale being no reasonable grounds, or frivolous or vexatious. The reporting period was from May 1, 2023, to April 30, 2024.
That's a high ratio of complaints dismissed.
Hate to say they'll likely move to BlueSky, but at the very least it would be a good idea to have them make a bridge via Bridgy Fed.

I mean, good on there being more options I suppose, but wish they had better values.
Saw they had a candidate in my riding listed on the Elections Canada site the other day and I just can't help but feel they could be standing for better things.
Huh, TIL syntheic rubber is a thing
Oh that's neat! Was always under the impression that it was fine because it being from the rubber tree and how rubber bands can dry out and crumble afterba while
They're plastic?? I always thought they were rubber.

Gotta love the language here implying he only sees Indigenous people as means to access resources rather than seeing them as normal people whose lives and histories should be respected.

Must be hard simply being a fiscal conservative in the Conservative party right now seeing the social conservatives botching all the good publicity the party could possibly have had left.
The firmware explicitly states it's for photos only, and I tried my luck using both mp4 and webm formats.
I think you're misunderstanding, the TV's firmware literally states that it can only be used for photos. I tried accessing both webm and mp4 to try my luck, but nothing.
Oh! Is Roku something you can get separately? I always thought it was just a built-in OS on newer TVs.
How can I play videos downloaded from my computer on a TV without network connectivity features?
Look, if he just left it at saying that the protests were fine but the encampment was not, that would at least be understandable.
COMPARING IT TO THE FREEDOM CONVOY? BRUH
Genuinely surprised Smith is that low. Like, if it took into account how people nationally felt about Smith I'd see this as expected, but the Angus Reid poll referenced seems to be based on the approval ratings of the premiers by their constituents.
I swear not long back Smith had a 60% approval rating here, which is absurd to think about as expected as it is. Wonder if the podcast surfacing pissed people off.

Is that the case? I've been hearing a lot about how unreliable the F-35s have been with it being hard to even get them off the ground half the time due to the maintenance needed on them.
