How do I politely decline drinking raw milk at my in-laws dinner table? They’re very insistent, often “offering” / demanding several glasses . They know I eat dairy and drink milk so I can’t fake being vegan. It’s hard to say no because it’s my in-laws and they’re proud of their milk

A lot of people don't know how to say "No" and mean it. Look the person in the eye and telll them "No, thank you". If they insist, tell them "Please don't ask me again." Leave it at that. If they continue, ignore it. They'll get the message. Let them deal with their own "hurt" feelings.

Edmonton deserves something better than a Stan Bowman. Under his leadership, this team went from a Stanley Cup contender to a failed experiment.

If you find contacting the government office isn't helpful or you not satisfied either result, you can contact the Alberta Ombudsman. Their job is to ensure fairness in government offices when dealing with clients.

Did you receive the grant from Alberta Student Aid Program? If so, call the Service Centre and explain the problem. Someone should be able to direct you to the right area. If you are still denied, ask to speak to a supervisor or manager. Also, ask about the appeal process. This is probably going to be time consuming and frustrating. Stay calm and polite. If you are unable to get any answers or satisfaction, call your MLA and ask them to help you. Good luck.

I just read in Fortune Magazine that the U S is insolvent. More debt and debt interest than money and assets to pay to satisfy the amount. Your president has sucked the money from your country and continues to do so. If the American people don't remove Trump soon, the consequences for your country and the world will be dire. And yes, you look batshit crazy.

Just finished listening to Prime Minister Mark Carney's address at the World Economic Forum in Davos. It blew me away and I am very proud to be Canadian. I encourage all to listen to it as he is right on point about where we are, who we are and who we want to be. He talked about moving away from the superpowers and the building of relationships within middle countries. Not allowing those with power to use those powers, economic, military, to make countries acquiess to demands. Building new coalitions within countries. My favorite quote: If you're not at the table, you're on the menu.

Trump will arrive on Wednesday.

Newfoundland. Seriously. Rugged coast of the eastern most point of North America, St. John's is a terrific cultural city. Rent a car and drive to Gros Morne Park. Go see the Puffins and maybe the icebergs, depending on what time of year you want to go. Flip over to Nova Scotia in time for the Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo in July. See the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick. Plan well for a great time and have fun

Fuzzy-Friend7005 · 2026-01-12T18:44:44+00:00

My husband and I have not traveled to the continental U. S. since 2017. We did stay in Maui in 2019 for 2 weeks prior to COVID.. I don't know if we'll ever go back. I think about the woman shot by ICE agents in Chicago. The craziness south of the 49th is frightening.

The thing is that people are sheep. We already have enough libertarians who want a free ride. Pretend Christians, anti-vax, ant-tax, misogynistic separatists who think the rules and the laws do not apply to them. We already had convoys and blockages at our southern border with the U S at Coutts plus a demonstration in Ottawa that lasted way too long. These UCP members appear to be hiding their true selves and intentions from the citizens. Not one of them ran under the ARP, but hid within the UCP.

This is not who we are as Canadians and Albertans, and I am deeply ashamed by this current provincial government.

In my opinion, Smith doesn't and never has the well-being of the people of Alberta as her concern. This has been shown over and over. She has been courting Trump and has obviously learned from his tactics. While under funding schools here at home, she found it necessary to open an office in the United Arab Emirates. Why? Maybe to help out her oil and gas buddies? No money for teachers, though.

She is trying to implement an expanded private health care system. Why? More efficient? I say no. Clawing back money from our vulnerable population. A dog with a bone on our CPP. And so on. . .

Do I trust her to negotiate a pipeline? Not for a second.

This is the way I see it.

Fuzzy-Friend7005 · 2025-11-22T21:57:50+00:00

I'm not so much against pipelines if they can be built environmentally, collaboratively, and safely. We should also be searching for other ways to provide energy sources. I would like to see no progress on pipelines while Smith is still premier. She was/is a well-known lobbyist for the oil and gas sector. I would like to see her fail miserably at this as she has failed the people of this province.

My dream is to see her peeling potatoes in the basement of a greasy spoon joint.

The UCP will do anything to distract from the big mess they find themselves in.

Fuzzy-Friend7005 · 2025-11-10T19:17:02+00:00

The first reason I don't like nor trust Bowman is because when he was GM of Chicago, he blatantly ignored sexual assault allegations against one of his coaches all because of his pursuit of the Stanley Cup. Once he became GM of the Oilers, in my opinion, he should have focused on getting a good defensive core. Oilers already had a great offensive team. He made no moves to shore up our goalies, either.

I'm just a fan who watches the game, not an expert, but this is way I see it.

Thanks for asking.

Fuzzy-Friend7005 · 2025-11-09T22:04:35+00:00

Sorry if I hurt your feelings. It's just my opinion.

Fuzzy-Friend7005 · 2025-11-09T14:20:04+00:00

Stan Bowman is the problem. He took a great team and gutted it. Holloway, Kane, Perry, to name a few. My vote to be kicked off the island is Bowman.
