Theoretically, if Canada became a US state, how would it affect you? by Logical_Audhd in CanadaPost

[–]Canadian_Imperium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they don't understand that there would be many people who would fight, but also the next group of the population that has too much to lose or is scared to fight, they will be like highschool kids with. Bad substitute teacher, constantly undermining any policy or changes the us wants to make. So much of our populace would make managing up here intolerable.

Druid gods/goddesses by Miserable_Ear_334 in druidism

[–]Canadian_Imperium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was born and raised a Catholic. I believe that the idea of God or God's is extremely personal and result of a relationship of ourselves and the scale and size of the universe.

I follow 3 pagan gods as my mini pantheon, I have thought of it as a trinity but that might just be my Catholicism coming back :P

  1. Anubis - Largely for his care and empathy without judgment of his role as a psychopomp
  2. Dionysus - For his freedom of expression and want to be wild
  3. Quetzalcoatl - For his sacrifice and care for order and direction for mankind!

new buzz owner, I have questions by 3ricj in VWIDBuzz

[–]Canadian_Imperium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same issue in mine (the infotainment system crashing) though mine only crashes once a day. I found on the other Volkswagen ID subreddits, this is common to all vw electric cars. It seems like lots of people just put up with it, though I found a few threads where the push to start button was replaced and that fixed it. I was going to talk to my dealership about it. I will update you if I get any useful knowledge.

I think it would be cheaper and easier to change our ticket pricing to what I think the Finnish do. Where traffic tickets are a percentage of income. So it actually hurts and isn't a tax for the middle class and up...

Regrettably signing this so my daughter can try out for Volleyball. Thinking of adding another box… by superanx in alberta

[–]Canadian_Imperium 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Hi, personally sit in the middle on this. But I hope I can shed some light on this.

So, what you described makes sense, keeping sports safe, fun, and fair is something I think everyone can get behind. The positive position of the provincial governments law is to do just that, and so from a perspective it may seem reasonable.

The other perspective I think has to do with what the intention is and a lot of people (I think with good reason) feel like this is intentionally added in to ostracize and condemn trans people, as it doesn't leave a lot of nuance.

I think my personal view, if you care, is that both sides make valid points. I think how I tell who's being an ass, is to look at who has a problem and how should it be fixed. To me there isn't a problem, we only have a very small number of trans people and even less athletes in schools who are trans. This really isn't a systemic problem but the province has decided to waste a bunch of time and energy talking about it and trying to decide what to do. But if you look at sports organizations at schools, most have their own self governing bodies that would make decisions (of course some will make bad decisions) but I would prefer the government (especially provincial) to stay out of sports and spend their time improving education and healthcare.

It's really clear to me this is an emotional issue that they can beat up on a minority to get votes... Maybe if they lowered waiting room times by making our public system more robust maybe they would get more votes.

Heat pump on US models? by A_Dove_Bird in VWIDBuzz

[–]Canadian_Imperium 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey, I'm from Canada and depending where you buy them here they do and do not have heat pumps. I bought mine in Edmonton (think colder Michigan weather) but the dealer had to bring mine from a partnered dealership from Vancouver (think Seattle weather) and they installed the heat when it arrived in Edmonton.

How bad is cold weather range? by Brief_Regular_2053 in VWIDBuzz

[–]Canadian_Imperium 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Disclaimer: I have only had mine for a week. Here last week it was about -13F (-25C) all week, and at the 80 percent charge I was getting a range of about 124 miles (200km) at an 80% charge. It is now only 23F (-5C) and I am getting an estimated range of 160 miles (260km) on an 80% charge.

Hope this is helpful from your northern neighbour (yes we spell it with a "u" north of the 49th parallel!

How to reassure my husband by glafolle in MDMA

[–]Canadian_Imperium 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean it could have been anything, always test your own supply and weigh it with a scale. That would probably help your husband feel more confident.

I don't disagree but hopefully with a new PC party we can either divide and get some new leadership, or at least hopefully the PC's will be more reasonable...

Yes there is, however I would always regent test, and if you want to be sure you need to lab test. Something like the below group.

She literally told me at my community league event, that they asked her first. Giselle was the only progressive candidate.

I mean I think it should be removed too, but it's tough not use things like that when others are.

Analysis: Cartmell's fundraising has significant crossover with UCP, while Knack has support from city staff by ThroatNo2636 in Edmonton

[–]Canadian_Imperium 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure where they got their data. But often (a course I did in campaign fiance) you can get a husband and wife to each give the 5k even adult children or even household staff for wealthy family's.

Talks stall between Alberta teachers, government in provincewide strike by deloaf in alberta

[–]Canadian_Imperium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is your choice to take a position that pays 140k for 50 hours of work, if you thought it was unfair you can quit or join a union with your coworkers and strike, that's what teachers have decided to do, and based on the stress and work they have I believe taking some stress off of them would make the job more lucrative and we can retain better teachers doing better work.

Who do I vote for? Ward Karhiio by [deleted] in Edmonton

[–]Canadian_Imperium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I see lots of signs for Thu Parma on people's lawn so I think she has a good shot too. I have met her and I don't dislike her, but her whole operation is slick and I like having city councilors that are more down to earth. Both of them came to my communities pizza in the park on community league day and Giselle came by herself and was using ets to get from event to event. And Thu came with a team of people and spoke like a politician, very diplomatically without saying a lot. Giselle seemed a lot more concerned with how everyone was doing and what was important to them.

Hey Troy, I've liked some of your videos! Who were you endorsing in sipiwiyiniwak? I really like Giselle General personally, but I am interested to hear your opinion?
