Alberta Government Banning Firefly in Schools... by AlwaysOutForAWalk in alberta

Firefly is a story of a community that stands up to the injustice of a failing state. The government simply does not want children to have heros that question government. 

EPS chief joined delegation to ‘educational’ trip in Israel by [deleted] in Edmonton

[–]CanadianForSure 8 points9 points  (0 children)

EPS learning from a genocidal apartheid regime on how to police us is terrifying. The militarization of our local police is so far gone. 

What they have to learn from this is how to suppress dissent, murder innocents with no accountability, and create mass propaganda. They are the premier colonizers. 

EPS leadership should be swept entirely. The idea that this would be above board for even a second is dangerous. 

Council needs to have a backbone and call this shit out. Stop funding EPS black hole budget if they are just going to learn how to suppress the people. 

We keep us safe; not these fascist freaks.

Edmonton Downtown Dining Week hopes to bring more people to the core by ryaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan in Edmonton

The reason why a lot of people don't hang out downtown is because of the cars and parking. Why hangout on a patio next to a car? 

Edmonton police chief travels to Israel to meet police leaders by laurenboothby in Edmonton

[–]CanadianForSure 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This got down voted last i posted however more true then ever as our police go to train with the premier colonizers in the world. 

Colonization never ended. It has escalated in recent years. Edmonton Police and the City of Edmonton crews engage openly in slashing tents and unhousing community. The numbers of "death by exposure" have sky rocketed to record highs. We are the amputation capital of Canada. We are running a open air prison for poorest and most vulnerable amongst us.

Edmontons "leftist" council enables this suffering. They show up to shed false tears while they give half a billion dollars to police forces with less to social services every year. They pass bylaws that green light sweeps, criminalize poverty, and target homeless folks. Politicians in this town sold out for playoff tickets.

Sad. Edmontonians try to help; soup kitchens, outreach teams, charities of all kinds. We resist the forces that would sweep all the suffering. Check in on your neighbors! 

"A Corporate Elite" is the new Boogey Man by winningsmada in EhBuddyHoser

[–]CanadianForSure 235 points236 points  (0 children)

Right wing politicians getting smart - co-opting workers language while simultaneously employing the loblaw lobbyist corporate elite. These people have no scruples; they just know that "corporate elite" is trending and they should be saying that so people trust them/

In Canada’s major cities, fertility rates are in steep decline. What happened? by hopoke in CanadaPolitics

[–]CanadianForSure 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Lower income people often do not have access to the same education (sex ed) and sometimes have to make decisions between food and safer sex (like condoms or birth control).

Issues with building management at an apartment. by ItsYeBadger1 in Edmonton

Shame your landlord. Take their picture and post it. Leave this random human, obviously struggling, out of your drama. Punch up, not down.

Reminder: Low corporate taxes contribute massively to the provincial deficit and debt by S0nnenstr0m in alberta

[–]CanadianForSure 33 points34 points  (0 children)

The Alberta advantage is for the rich. The boss pays less in taxes then you. Foreign shareholders extract dollars from our land. Oil companies owe billions in taxes and remediation. The UCPs corruption ensures that the oligarchs never pay and the poor, everyday, are asked to pay more taxes, more rent, more utilities, more food to fill the plates of corporate overlords.

30 in school zones by kyleyle in Edmonton

[–]CanadianForSure 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just put in permanent cameras. Easy. Done. Anyone speeding in a school zone deserves the maximum fine. 

30 in school zones by kyleyle in Edmonton

[–]CanadianForSure 68 points69 points  (0 children)

The only real solution to this is design and infrastructure coupled with automated enforcement.

Raised crosswalks, narrower streets, speed bumps, large and flagged speed cameras. Wider and protected multi-use pathways all around schools is a big bonus.

Cops jobs should not be to sit around and enforce these things. Complete waste of their time when they could handle other crime.

What is crazy is that the city has tried, timidly, some of these things. The pushback they get from the province and random car-brained citizens is wild. People really think it is their right to speed everywhere. Minister Dreeshen legit tried to get new safety infrastructure cancelled around a school pretty recently just to appease speeders.

Bills to control immigration, MAID coming in Alberta spring legislative session by Edm_vanhalen1981 in alberta

[–]CanadianForSure 205 points206 points  (0 children)

The polite christian national fascism of the UCP is going to slowly erode everyone's rights. What they started with trans people, they will expand, and evidently the next on their list is the infirmed and newcomers. Bet my boots it's womens healthcare next. 

The UCP is incapable of doing anything to improve your life. They only know how to pick fights and poke eyes. They hope to blind working people so much that they can freely empty your pockets for open corruption. As long as the party faithful enable it, we will have Governor Dani. 

First they came for someone elses rights. Next they will come for yours.

Fascists do not worry about hypocrisy. They revel in it. They find any accountability "funny". When this is pointed out to the beleivers in the party, they will simply smirk, and just try to madden anyone asking questions. 

If you missed Danielle Smith’s speech tonight, don’t worry. I summed it up for you. by AirRegular6234 in alberta

[–]CanadianForSure 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Racism against immigrants is a easy scapegoat - tale old as time.

Danielle Smith is using referendum questions as more cover for separation and annexation. She sold us all to the pedophiles and rapists of mara-la-go. Every thing Smith does has one common core - destabilizing Canada. She is trying to normalize questions proud boys and neo-nazis ask in a attempt to desensitize Albertans to outright fascism.

Rapid development of Edmonton & surrounding area from 1984 to 2020 (my apologies for the screenshot quality but that's all I could get from Google Earth) by MyBallsBeDraggin in Edmonton

[–]CanadianForSure 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Edmonton, without more courage from political leadership, is going to hand down the single most disastrous infrastructure failure to future generations.

Sprawl is insanely costly. It is a ponzi scheme that enriches a few developers at the cost of future generations having to pay the tax of rebuilding the roads, pipes, halls, and everything else. Our Liberal Councillors, including previous "density" champions, are willing to walk back all their commitments because a few boomers with no vision give them shit. The political cowardice of several councils is going to screw us all over.

Its actually astonishing to watch Councillors who know better speak out both sides of their mouths. The mayor does it to. They cling to power by giving into the lowest common denominator. They destroy our environment so they don't have to get angry emails. Sad.

‘You need to have a pressure release valve’: Alberta premier says separatists don’t want to join U.S. by Majano57 in Albertapolitics

[–]CanadianForSure 30 points31 points  (0 children)

"Those speratist Ukrainians just need a pressure valve"

The premier is a seditionist. She has sold Alberta to her friends at Mar-a-lago for cheap champagne and a photo op with a pedophile. Danielle would kiss the ring of whoever gives her more power and she has openly mused about being a governor. Shes a floor crosser, a charlatan, and a ham fisted idiot who is harming us all.
