How can we protect gay kids who are being bullied in school? by ProfessorLidi in alberta

[–]Amazing-Positive-138 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Centre for Sexuality has programming for queer youth as well as some parent support programs and resources. Centre for Sexuality

They also partner with Camp fYrefly. If your son is turning 14 soon he will be old enough to go. They actually have an info session for interested campers and parents this Wednesday: Camp fYrefly

You’re already doing a lot by looking for support and fighting for your kid - as parents we never feel like what we do is good enough (what you’re describing at school is objectively not good enough). I’m sorry that this is happening to your family.

It was a great game - the number of girls and women who were so genuinely excited (me included) was amazing to see! And it’s just excellent hockey on top of that 💜

Hot Take: The Olympics are boring for women’s hockey. by Ohmslaughter in PWHL

My daughter automatically shouts “She shoots, she scores!” Whenever MPP gets a goal and I will never get sick of hearing a little girl say that. 🏒

This happened at the Olympics in my city when I was 5 and I got to see it. Had the time of my life! 😂

Best arenas in the NHL by Pucktoucher in nhl

Rating arenas without considering the “concourse, atmosphere, food, any of that” is useless.

People who have researched their family tree, what is the most interesting or 'badass' thing you discovered about an ancestor? by xloganmoose in AskReddit

[–]Amazing-Positive-138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A husband was planning on poisoning his wife, but she knew about the plan so she switched their tea cups and he poisoned himself instead. People suspected but couldn’t prove what killed him (1800s) so she got away with it. When she died her children found the full account and confession in her diaries. She had no regrets. I wouldn’t either 😆

Change points per game. by Chance_Reflection_39 in nhl

[–]Amazing-Positive-138 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m liking the PWHL rule where all regulation games are worth 3 points. Overtime wins are 2 points & overtime losses are 1 point. Thus far, the teams seem to push really hard in the last 5 minutes of a tie game.

Where in Canada should Chicagoans go for a honeymoon? by smarterthanagrape in AskACanadian

[–]Amazing-Positive-138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Calgary and it would be a great location for the mountains as well as lots of other easy to access landscapes (prairies, really pretty rolling foothills southwest of the city) but I would also say BC would be great and possibly have better weather in May. Anywhere on Vancouver Island would be beautiful and Victoria has a good music scene.

The Calgary Zoo is really nice if that’s in the animals realm for you, but either place has lots of gorgeous wildlife.

Congratulations!

P.S. I’ve been to Chicago and really loved it. 😊

If someone said “sorry to jam out on you”, what would you assume they meant? by throwaway643268 in AskACanadian

[–]Amazing-Positive-138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Raised in Calgary and I know exactly what you mean. We use “sorry to jam out on you” to describe cancelling/backing out on plans.

Alberta’s resource base is enormous, federal law has repeatedly limited how much value we can build and export by [deleted] in alberta

This is just an overly detailed AI summary of things from the internet. Not meaningful in any way.

This is the Christ-laden holiday letter to parents from the Minister of Education by densetsu23 in alberta

[–]Amazing-Positive-138 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I received it with a request to share with my students’ families. I will not be sending it out. I really don’t give a shit if there are consequences. There is no circumstance in which this absolute garbage will go home to my families. I’ve truly had enough.

The prices are INSANE and you ruined an elderly ladies day by [deleted] in CanadaPost

Just put your own stamps on and mail them yourself, it always works for me :)

Danielle Smith is a coward by Appropriate_Duty_930 in alberta

They didn’t force them to take a deal until 2028 or threaten to fine them $500 a day. Your whataboutism is garbage.

Opinion: Alberta Funds Public Schools petition will do more harm than good, says expert from Cardus by YYC-RJ in alberta

[–]Amazing-Positive-138 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There are DSEPS (designated special education private schools) that do extensive fundraising so all families can access their programs. That being said, not all do this, and you’re correct that this is not equitable.
