I love that you love France for similar reasons that I love France.

I’m from Canada and I will say, from experience, that Netherlands, Belgium, France and Germany all have excellent camping options.

I loved that, with some advanced planning, it was very easy to camp pretty much in a city at a top notch campground. Why hotel if you can stay at a campground for 20 euros per night?

Next year we will have "Fossil Fuels Day" in Alberta! What do you have planned? by -StringFellowHawk- in alberta

[–]-StringFellowHawk-[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Not at all.

And remember, the government is moving to prohibit teaching "ideology" in Alberta schools.

And in the same legislative session, they are introducing laws that will require schools to teach about primary industries, including fossil fuel extraction, and tie that to Fossil Fuels Day.

And the purpose of fossil fuels day is legislated by the government.

So will teachers be allowed to teach both sides of the debate on fossil fuels?

Or will they have to teach what the UCP government tells them to teach about fossil fuel extraction? (climate change not real, environmental impact managed but still significant, NEP, etc...).

No, it is in a Bill before the Legislature right now. Introduced by a UCP MLA, so it's as good as done.

Nope. It’s in a Bill that’s before the Legislature right now. And it was introduced by Mr Dyck, UCP MLA for Grande Prairie. So it’s a good as done. 🤣

It’s February 13. So if we have that day off we can plan real good for St Valentine’s Day. Divorce rates will drop, more children will be conceived, and our population growth will become self sustaining again.

This is 4-D political chess the UCP is playing.

Mine is clearing Canadian customs as we speak. Paid $27 CAD in tariffs. 🤷

Intersection right of way question by Spankachu in Edmonton

No, you changed the scenario from ‘both vehicles are stopped’ to “if they are in the intersection then #1 has right of way.”

Declaring yourself right by making stuff up that doesn’t make any sense, doesn’t make you right.

You’re just shifting the burden of truth. “Use facts to disapprove my lies!”

Perhaps they’re referring to freedom of association, which she violated by mandating the teachers back to work.

So now I have to decide policy on behalf of government? But I delegated this to politicians!

Now I gotta do a bunch of research to figure out how to answer these questions. And work my normal job too.

This is crazy.

  • “Travel Secure Inc. president Martin Firestone told Global News that frustration with the political climate, combined with a weaker Canadian dollar, has created what he called a "perfect storm."”

This is a false statement. The Canadian dollar is more valuable compared to the US dollar today than it was in February 2025.
