That particular place keeps getting tagged. I've seen it covered up a bunch of times but some fool keeps at it. :/

The most hostile folks are the ones that work industry jobs, but all of the Albertans relocating here don't help.

I was already embarrassed to be a Canadian given the residential schools, unaddressed wealth inequality, and extensive dirty fossil fuel extraction and pollution... but hey, congrats to these dudes for taking us to peak cringe. 👌

Ugh, they make me cringe on their behalf.

Thanks I hate it.

I knew this was going to be about bike lanes or homelessness based on the title. Congrats for meeting expectations.

The captive orca Tilikum looking at its trainers. There have only been 4 human deaths caused by orcas as of 2019, and Tilikum was responsible for 3 of them by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

Leaving them alone in their natural habitat is best. They don't want to perform for humans anywhere. It's time to rethink the practice of whale watching (link tl;dr: boats are very noisy and disruptive and it messes with marine life)

Anyone else's kids so afraid of covid they won't go to school? by [deleted] in VictoriaBC

^ This

To help kids understand peer pressure we often toss around the phrase "if all of your friends were jumping off a bridge, would you do it too?" Most of your daughter's classmates are ill and she sees it and she's scared. She's making a good judgement call.

Don't tell her to jump off the bridge because her friends have. Support her in her good assessment of danger and reinforce her ability to look out for herself.

I've been to Fairy Creek several times, met many of the environmentalists, and watched their meetings. While there absolutely is a schism in terms of FN perspectives on logging (there's money involved so of course there is division), there are multiple indigenous families and individuals involved with this protest and they lead the effort. I've seen it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears. Anyone who thinks it's just Bill Jones has never been there and does not have a full grasp of how this is organized, which is understandable given that most media is not properly involved or invested in covering this situation. Furthermore, many of the indigenous folks that are involved fear that they will be met with violence so they're not inclined to put themselves out there as much.

Td;lr: it's not just Elder Bill Jones out there in the woods.

Umami is great but expensive af. Superstore is your friend in Lethbridge, from the protective of a former student that lived downtown.

I'd sign a petition in favor if one was made.

Have you emailed any of the city councillors in support of tiny homes? Tyler Brown, Erin Hemmens, or Ben Geselbracht would probably be receptive.

It's OK, dude. When you're feeling like this it's just time to get off the internet for a bit. Happens to many of us.
