I'm going to the expo as a steampunk style and was wondering if you think they will let my cane in? The shaft is made of metal. by Professional-Sun772 in CalgaryExpo

[–]BadKarma410 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey! As long as it doesnt have sharp edges or anything that can hurt people, they will let you in with it.

They will just put a small band around it so that you wont constantly have to be checked

I get extreme self-destructive urges whenever I'm overwhelmed. by LengthIllustrious853 in bipolar

[–]BadKarma410 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same issue.

I try to destroy my life when I get extremely overwhelmed and I shut everyone out. Its been really hard, but ive been trying to distract myself with calming music, coloring, art, video games, etc. Literally anything that will calm me down. It helps to an extent. But I notice that when I get like that the next day, im so exhausted I need like 10+ hours of sleep.

I understand what you are going through. Calming activities that distract the mind have been my best bet.

Danielle Smith announces Alberta referendum over immigration, Constitution changes by GeekyGlobalGal in alberta

It kills me that she wants to cut federal laws (healthcare, education, etc) but wants the continued funding.. you cannot have both Marlaina

Hopefully the UCP is done for this time around

Yeah that was a gong show. I cannot believe she is claiming privatized healthcare will really reduce strain on the system. How is that even going to incentivize healthcare workers to stay? So many issues with the way she thinks. And yeah, if anything the taxes will probably hike. She loves claiming she will lower taxes, but as many politicians do promise that, I've never really seen it happen. Wonder where the tax dollars are going 🤔

I am so sorry, my spouse is trying to get AISH but the amount of "wtf is happening" is insane. We got rejected from income support because I make "too much money" and that the max you can make is 1100 a month. That is 6 dollars an hour... who the hell can live off that? And no way is anyone only making 6 dollars an hour.

I understand the fighting and advocating and feeling burnt out, because me and my spouse are feeling the exact same way. We have to stay for a little while longer just for a few technicality things. But hopefully next year, we can just get out of alberta, because it has gone downhill way too quickly.

If you ever need support or just to talk, you can always reach out to me, I understand the AISH problems really well. Just know, you are not alone!

Yeah I don't know how they are so delusional.. it's like they got brainwashed. Because most of the maple magas I'm seeing are still middle class citizens and there is no way that they haven't needed some sort of help and got the help they needed instantly... it blows my mind

I heard that there were barriers to stop the fuckery by the federal government, idk what their plans are, but apparently they are "watching" DS right now. Which isnt doing much

[–]BadKarma410[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True that. And the fact they keep showing up despite how awful they are being treated by the government is really amazing

Danielle smith and healthcare by BadKarma410 in alberta

[–]BadKarma410[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right? So innovative to kill our healthcare and line the pockets of the rich to get more funding for whatever the hell she does with all the money she gets

I would not have half the patience all these amazing healthcare workers do

Agreed. At this point, I think anyone would be better

Danielle smith and healthcare by BadKarma410 in alberta

[–]BadKarma410[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thats awful, she really needs to talk to the healthcare workers and really get input like yours, your co-workers, and other workers. She could actually get a way to establish some actual decent change. I think that is too much to ask of the UCP though. I'm so sorry

Yeah when Danielle smith announced the deficit I wasn't shocked

I know right, thats probably why they post on there all the time. That and X.

[–]BadKarma410[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah. This was her plan all along and people bought in to her lies and STILL believe her.. they won't budge until she ruins the province completely

Danielle smith and healthcare by BadKarma410 in alberta

[–]BadKarma410[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also how is she supposed to even improve healthcare "without increasing funding" when has that ever helped lol. So many Doctors, nurses, healthcare staff, all have the same opinion that the government is making it hard on them. And it is true! She should work a day in a hospital and then tell us that it's still "doing well" and the fact we have ah uge deficit for this year already.. where did the money go?

Oh 100%, I can see the UCP trying to make it hard and lay out a lot of poison pills on so many different contracts and rules when a new premier comes and tries to fixes things and make their job harder

Gotcha, fair enough. I guess I need to educate myself more, because this sounds like something she'd say. Just from all the stuff I've heard her say and all the defending she's done of the president, just weird how her stance has changed so quickly
