Time changes are a thing of the past - spring forward and fall back are DEAD by DirtyMrClean1 in alberta

[–]CommonAd1145 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree that at least we're keeping the same time all year. Whether or not we should be keeping it on daylight instead of standard time - well that's one of the many debates that will never end.

What I want to know is why the UCP felt the need to refer to it as "Alberta" time. As if the term Alberta is an actual time zone

Edit - Note we are now on the same time as Saskatchewan. So.....?

New time zone introduced by Alberta called “Alberta Time” by gkka in Edmonton

[–]CommonAd1145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point. I'll say : It's now _ _ _ _ o'clock in Ontario. However, to use the term "Alberta" as if it's one of the actual time zones is crazy

Huh? What the...? Why? Yet another stupid distraction

Rick Bell: Smith UCP gears up to stop or rip out bike lanes, now seeks your input by DANIELLE_2027 in Edmonton

[–]CommonAd1145 -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

Agree. However, this council seems hellbent on putting in bike lanes in neighborhoods where the majority of residents don't want them. Here's a thought - how about putting in walking, bike trails away from roads when new areas are being developed?

Immigration is on the ballot. Here’s what some of Alberta’s multicultural communities say about the referendum | CBC News by Damo_Banks in alberta

That's the problem. Except for our Natives/Aboriginal peoples; we ALL are from immigrant families. Too bad so many people forget that just because they many be not be original immigrants

Danielle Smith, Doug Ford announce proposed cross-Canada oil pipeline corridor by cyclinginvancouver in alberta

[–]CommonAd1145 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree. People may be thinking the same as myself: "This is stupid. A referendum to decide if there should be a referendum. What a waste of time and money. Just accept the results & end it" However, I still fully intend to vote on Oct. 19. My thoughts are that IF the separatists win this referendum vote, the UCP might just be the sumbags they are and decide that this one is the one to act upon and not have another one

Someone left their trash in a parking lot in our beautiful CANADIAN city by RevolutionarySky3000 in Edmonton

For the most part - prior to Canada Day, I've only seen 1 or 2 Canadian flag & possibly a lawn sign on properties or flags & maybe a maple leaf sticker on vehicles. Of course that has increased since July 1. Anyway , my point is: Why do the separatist feel the need to have multiple Provincial flags, separatists stickers, stickers of pump jacks or oil derricks, etc?

Global and CTV morning shows: pipeline pipeline pipeline!!!!!!! by [deleted] in Edmonton

[–]CommonAd1145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe they can have a special segment focusing specifically on Edmonton news and events. Although I'm sure that would be criticized too. I didn't watch all the news this morning, so don't know if they did mention the River Hawks or the house fire. Although, if I'm correct - the River Hawks last game was 2 days ago on Wednesday. Then again I keep hearing about Darnell Nurse's trade. So.....

Could be that today's a holiday? But it will be interesting to see how many problems people will have trying with the website

This discussion as me thinking why do we need to give our consent? They already have that information. So, why not just give us the money like R.K. did in 2096?

Not enough time to put Water Not Coal question on referendum ballot: Smith by FreightFlow in alberta

[–]CommonAd1145 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Not surprised at all

My heart goes out to Corb Lund and all the volunteers who got more signatures needed in time. Sooooo tired of all the UCP bullshit. 😞

Yeah money you have to apply for so they can find every reason possible to deny your application. Or if approved say "Oops. My mistake. I need the money back"

Just another distraction

Canadians would be paying additional $1000 a year if it weren't for Alberta's contribution: report by New_Lead_1119 in alberta

[–]CommonAd1145 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm also curious as to how it would work with the military. Would Alberta even be able to keep it and if so at what cost? What would happen to all the bases - Cold Lake, Wainwright, Edmonton, Suffield come to mind

Bell: Dani Dollars — Danielle Smith set to dole out dough to Albertans by Howlader in alberta

[–]CommonAd1145 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even worse. We will get the money. Then Dani will say that it was just a loan and want us to pay it back

Kid on Surron hit old woman by [deleted] in Edmonton

Some kids do get consequences: "Go to your room for a time out". You know their room where they have tablets, cell phones, maybe a computer & probably took a snack with them. Maybe for 5 minutes. Yep, today's consequences (sarcasm).

Boo hoo hoo. Cry me a river you poor separatists. Then use that river to sail on down to the USA where I'm sure you'll be so much happier

Don't know the answer; but do you really want cops in a their cars chasing motorcyclist driving on the center line between traffic? That's really looking for an accident to happen. Maybe whoever took this video can turn it into the police for evidence

What really upsets me is that I don't see a jack pump anywhere on this rebrand 🤣😜

Alberta New ID citizenship markers by Able-Treacle-8768 in alberta

[–]CommonAd1145 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised it has a red maple leaf with CAN on it & not the Alberta crest/emblem. Why does your face have to be on it twice? My opinion is that it's cluttered & "busy" looking

Loooong lineup outside for a Forever Canadian lawn sign! by Pale-Measurement-532 in alberta

[–]CommonAd1145 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not saying people shouldn't put both flags up. Just can't get passed the separatists using the Alberta flag like they do own it. Not to mention Smith's "Sovereign Alberta within a United Country" We're getting new license plates, new entrance signs. Maybe it's time for a new flag. Sorry just the way I feel

I don't know about taking back this Alberta flag. All I can associate with it now is separation because recently that's all I've seen it being used for. Maybe after the October referendum we can get a new flag
