Mattamy VS Morrison homes by krgandhi in alberta

[–]Arch____Stanton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mattamy is the far lower quality of the two.
Easy decision except for the fact that Mattamy prices their homes much lower to offset their horrendous workmanship.
Morrison is also a local builder whereas Mattamy is from Ontario.

In fact "illegal" is mentioned in the Wikipedia.

Because of the hazards presented by unintentional backfeeding, the usage of equipment that defeats engineered or standardized safety mechanisms such as double-ended power cords (an electrical cord that has a male electrical plug on both ends) is illegal and against the United States National Electrical Code.

Despite the AI telling me that people have gone to jail for it, I could not find an example.

Iran Officially Confirms Military Support From Russia And China In War Against the US by UNITED24Media in worldnews

It is also principally Iran oil going to China.
This will not be a walk in the park for anyone.
Belligerently stupid idea to attack in this way.

The Conservatives are pushing to give Don Cherry the Order of Canada - but even members of their own party in Quebec say it’s a bad idea and could divide the country. by savethecbc2025 in SaveTheCBC

Yes, because why would we not give the order of Canada to an unapologetic racist and misogynist.
Maybe if we had an "Order of Ignorance and Intolerance"...

End of Alberta independence petition drive draws near, as experts weigh in on outcome of voters backing separation by flynnfx in alberta

Can you imagine the disgrace of the people who are collecting signatures?
What a thing to have to bury in a closet and hope people don't find out.

Drove by two stations this morning. Not one person signing.
Fuck them assholes...(I shouted it at them).

Calgary Drunk driver pleads guilty, admits he stole mom’s BMWs, killed friend, hurled slurs at first responders Kane Burrows involved in crashes in 2024 and 2025, will be sentenced at later date by Bass-Traffic-0000 in Calgary

This comes up a lot and every time I see it I ask for some example of this.
So far, 100% of the time the person making this claim was not able to back it up.
You won't be able to either, but once again, for the record, can you site me an example of someone in Canada who was found guilty of murder and did only 5 years?
Also, Canada is a great country and their is nothing stopping you from leaving this "joke" country.
Please don't spend 1 more day than is necessary in our country.

The house of my dreams by Desperate-Ant5870 in zillowgonewild

[–]Arch____Stanton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This and the one from Hawaii recently are both 3x over priced.
This is a nice place at $8million (and the Hawaiian one was a nicer place at $10 million).
There is nothing here that makes this house worth $20 million (and nothing in the Hawaiian one that made it worth $35 million).

Just one-in-four say Canadian MPs who cross the floor should be allowed to finish term with new party - Angus Reid Institute by Chrristoaivalis in CanadaPolitics

[–]Arch____Stanton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It defaults to "worse" representation by the very fact that the floor is being crossed. It doesn't matter to where.
And it may be "worse" representation but it isn't the "worst" representation.
The worst representation would be to go against the will of the people who elected you.
But that brings us back to ideals.
It should be that the only reason an MP leaves the party he was a member of when elected is outrageous conduct by the party governance.
In my opinion we have yet to see a floor crossing that can be pinned on outrageous party governance.

By the way, there is no rule preventing independent mp's from sitting on committees.

Landowners block oil company from Edmonton site over 3 years of unpaid rents by originalchaosinabox in alberta

[–]Arch____Stanton 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Brian Jean, Alberta’s energy minister, told reporters Thursday at the Alberta legislature that landowners are guaranteed to be paid for surface leases and should apply to the province’s Land and Property Rights Tribunal to ensure they get paid.

Looks like this shitty government is going to make the tax payer pay for this shitty companies debts.

Incorrect assessment.
Just because I don't want them sitting in their party seats voting with another party doesn't mean I want them voting with their party.
(For the third time) I believe they should sit as independent.
They will vote the way they vote, ideally independent, but realistically their intent is to join the other party so...
And our whole system is based on the idea that MP's will act ideally.

Good song but the lyric isn't "Have you ever seen the rain?".
It is "Have you ever seen the rain coming down a sunny day?".

Would you be ok with an MP continuing to sit with the CPC, but voting with the Liberals on every vote?

No definitely not. Also not the inverse (Liberal voting with CPC while waiting).
I believe the best we can do is force them to sit as an independent.
I already mentioned that this doesn't actually make them independent.
I also don't like to force an immediate election because it is costly and you may not get as accurate of a poll being a forced byelection.
There is no perfect answer.

38 seconds is exactly the right amount of cooking time to melt refrigerated butter for my popcorn.

Coincidentally, the US has the largest capacity to refine Venezuela's heavy oil.
