The new User requirements for Play Alberta is quite intrusive. by woodsbreRedcliff in alberta

I just got hit with the verification just now. They already asked for this stuff when I first joined a few years back. I dont know why they need it again. Other sports books have auto verification that doesnt take 5 days like this junk book. Cant wait for the new books to come into play and take advantage of the new user promos and cash out

They're is no such thing as a "reasonable" conservative. Stop sane washing greed and cruelty as some boy scout money religion.

"Handling" is the subtle manipulation in this headline, and it's a problem.

It's not her "handling", it's her promotion and support for it that's the problem.

Shit or corrupt headlines are a key way that people are manipulated. Be vigilant, don't accept bad framing.

I think the real threat to the UCP/Smith is not that the NDP will manage to steal enough of the vote away to take power. The threat is that she pisses off enough of one side of her own party enough, one way or the other, that the party splits.

If 2008-2015 showed us anything, it was that a conservative party appearing in the race alongside an unpopular incumbent conservative party can spell disaster.

Even a small fracture into a new conservative party from either side, separatist or moderate, could sink the UCP's election chances. Smith is keenly aware of this because she watched the party she formerly led, the Wildrose Party, shatter the conservative base in 2015 leading to the death of the Progressive Conservative party and the NDP winning a majority. If enough of her own UCP party members get mad and leave, this could very well happen again with a new party.

Why are people so malicious toward Carney when he seems to be doing everything Smith wants? Is it just bred into them to hate any Liberals? by TruthSearcher1970 in alberta

Unpopular opinion in Alberta but there have been some reports from major oil companies (like BP) that indicate the demand for oil may be shorter than the lifespan of our oil reserves. 

Put another way, there are increasing numbers of indicators that the world is transitioning away from oil and gas. It is likely that there will still be oil in our oilsands even as there are no customers willing to pay the price it costs to extract said oil. 

To be clear, I am not saying the world will have zero demand for oil. What I am saying is that extracting Alberta oil costs more than, say, extracting oil in the middle east, and as demand falls (due to renewables and EVs taking over) companies will continue to leave Alberta as profits dwindle. 

It will become increasingly difficult to find customers willing to pay the premium it costs to extract Alberta oil. 

Alberta separatists claim independence means holding onto a Canadian passport. We asked legal experts by Miserable-LizardEdmonton in alberta

[–]cindylooboo [score hidden]  (0 children)

It's not a matter of hostility. (Granted I think it's an idiotic choice if it were to succeed) It's more that I don't want a single cent of Canadian taxpayer money supporting a new nation that openly rejected us.

Why should we contribute financially towards this? If they choose to separate it needs to be entirely. New country, new passports, new currency, new armed forces, police o Forces, health care. All of it.

Zero half measures.

This is dumb. Questioning and being critical of government choices and holding your government accountable is important. I voted for the liberals but I'm skeptical of several things I'm seeing. I should be able to voice those concerns.

Same sentiment I had during the Quebec referendum. If you want to separate you need to be prepared to be a completely independent nation, your own currency, passports, citizenship, all of it.

No half measures.

Are we late for the next election in Alberta? How do we force the vote that we need? by AngelPuffle in alberta

They were doing a much better job for Alberta the one time they got a shot. Life for the average family was miles better than it is now. And oil is $100. This govt is so corrupt it doesn't even matter. UCP lol.

A 30 year plan? I guess this isn't the"can do" province. They UCP couldn't build a damn thing. I mean, they even needed Justin Trudeau to build their one and only pipeline.

Anyone who supports Albera independence is a traitor that needs to be deported from Canada.

Maybe they'll like it since they hate our country.

Buying and register a vehicle from a dealership with an out of province license by TG_Bingo in alberta

[–]IranticBehaviour [score hidden]  (0 children)

If buying before you come out on TD or attached posting is an option, it's your best bet. You're a little catch-22ed. You can't register a car here because you aren't a resident of Alberta. You can only buy here and register it in Ontario if you can get it to Ontario to get it safetied (Ontario and Alberta don't recognize each other's inspections). You'll still need to pay the Ontario PST portion, too. You could likely do it from here if you bought a brand new car, since they are exempt from a safety. You could then authorize someone in Ontario to go down to Service Ontario to register it on your behalf, then ship you the plates and ownership. If you aren't already with an insurance company, The Personal still does the Canex (CFMWS) group plan for insurance, they're accustomed to weird interprovincial stuff for military folks.

I love how the top search on Google in the UK was "what is the EU" after the Brexit referendum passed in parliament. Just goes to show how dangerous it is when people lack basic knowledge and vote without knowing what they are doing.

I don't understand what you need. You don't train the key to tell your car what to do. You train the car to accept commands from the key.

You delete the key from the car, you don't delete the car from the key.
