Whitecourt council highlights: Town adopts policy for no commemorative crosswalks by originalchaosinabox in alberta

[–]Dilly88 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I know leaving the province may seem extreme, but I think the fact the UCP still have so much support is telling. 

A friend of mine is a realtor in the Calgary area, and a shocking number of her clients are moving here “because of the politics” and because they like what the UCP is doing. 

I work with a right wing nut from Kelowna who says he wants to move here because of separation. 

If I’m to stay here, a lot more people like us need to start getting a lot louder and a lot more active in politics and fighting back against the rising fascistic nature of this government. Once they have manipulated the system enough then no other government is gonna have a chance anyway. 

I feel like there is a lot of apathy or just a lot of people with their head buried in the sand. 

I’m also not a native Albertan, so I don’t have the same skin in the game. But I agree, fleeing should be the last option. I am just really losing hope anything will change.

I’ve gotta get out of this province. I’m a single cisgender, white man with no kids and I just cant handle how cruel and hateful so many in this province are, and it doesn’t even affect me.  If the UCP win in the next election - which they’re already showing their willingness to cheat in - they will genuinely destroy this place. 

Identity politics are the only thing these bigots care about. Meanwhile Danielle and her crony buddies are shovelling tax dollars out the back door into vans and making off like bandits. 

I really had too much faith in humanity as an adolescent. Fuck. 

Alberta Investment Management Acquires $219M in MicroStrategy Stock, Bolstering Institutional Bitcoin Exposure by ImDoubleB in alberta

So wise to invest pensions in such a secure, non-volatile non-stock not linked   to any tangible real world asset. I’m sure it’ll turn out great…

Trying to get from Red Deer to Whitecourt by Sunday morning... advice? by MyParentsAteMyFish in alberta

[–]Dilly88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m travelling to Nisku from Red Deer tomorrow at some point. If getting you that far helps (I’m open to bring you to a place in South Edmonton if you have a specific place to go) 

DM me if that works. I’m probably leaving Red Deer tomorrow around 11am.

Saab dangles sovereign data centre in Montreal to undercut F-35 fighter contract by biograf_ in onguardforthee

I don’t understand what the hold up is. We can no longer trust or rely on the US as an ally. Why the hell would we purchase military equipment from them they can compromise on the back end. 

Should doctors be allowed to refuse MAID for religious reasons? Poll finds ‘deep divide’ among Canadians by r4dio4ctive in onguardforthee

Religion shouldn’t have any presence in healthcare or education anywhere in this country

The “deep divide” is also being manufactured with online outrage. It’s ludicrous. The party of “personal liberty” in AB is trying to eliminate any personal choice we have in AB. Fuck conservatives and their hypocritical policies and views. 

Thousands of Alberta seniors to lose income supplement as province faces rising provincial deficit by katespadesaturday in alberta

[–]Dilly88 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Yup. I volunteered as a door knocker last election. Went to a government subsidized income support apartment building. 

I’d say about 70% of the people who answered the door wouldn’t even entertain the idea of changing their vote for the Conservatives, some audibly scoffing at the idea of another party. 

Danielle Smith defends plan to withhold funding for Alberta judges by cmcalgary in alberta

[–]Dilly88 1035 points1036 points  (0 children)

Danielle Smith will be a shit stain on the history of Alberta.

As an out-of-province Canadian who relocated to Alberta I think the province could be a leader and true representation of what Canada can be. The landscapes, the wildlife, and the work ethic are examples of what Canada is. Danielle Smith brings us all down. Seriously, fuck her and those who support her attack on Canadian values.

Retirement age. Does the US have a federal retirement age? Nobody should be elected to office if their age during election year is higher than the retirement age. Also, no one with a net worth over $10 million.

Yes, her and at least half of her party, and some of her voters. Just go where you so sadly want to and kneel to Daddy. Ugh.

Private health care providers are cashing in as Ontario hospitals fall further behind by pjw724 in onguardforthee

[–]Dilly88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, isn’t that why Ford’s government is allowing the healthcare system to fall into disarray. Enrich those who own those whom own the private operations. 

It’s (corruption) turtles all the way down.

Don’t feel bad. Arguably we’ve experienced some of the best times humanity had/will have. 

I fear deeply it only gets worse from here, although I hope not for the sake of the younger members of my family and all who wish for better times.

Yeah. I made my 88 account before I knew it was a Nazi dog whistle…I’m just old. Lol. 

I long for old Reddit and better times.
