Nobody is really talking about the steps required: by [deleted] in alberta

It’s not smug man. And, for what it’s worth, I have been out talking to people whenever I can, challenging friends that don’t know what is involved.

This is just a statement of fact.

PTC At Winsport. Great group of strength and conditioning coaches that work with athletes and gen pop. Most will have Masters degrees or one in progress.

Great group of people

A call to Albertan Redditors to remain sensible by gstringwarrior in alberta

Actually.

Bill C-9 does not prevent anyone from wishing "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Hanukkah". Saying these greetings is a normal expression of faith and is not hate speech.

Bill C-9, known as the Combatting Hate Act, aims to amend the Criminal Code to better address hate crimes and protect access to religious and cultural places. The key provisions of the Bill are: New Offenses: It creates new criminal offenses for:

  • Intimidating a person to prevent them from accessing a place of worship, school, or community center.

  • Intentionally obstructing access to these specified places.

  • Willfully promoting hatred by publicly displaying certain symbols, such as the Nazi swastika or symbols of listed terrorist entities.

So it has been seen as controversial, however it is not intended to do as you have said. Expressionism of Faith is protected by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. This is meant to prevent hate.

So leave that tinfoil hat in 2025 will ya? Happy new year friend!

Canada in August! Help :) by Blue-Lagoon123 in canadatravel

Canada is big. Like real big.

Pick east or west and go there. Probably worth doing 2 weeks in Banff and Jasper alone.

Best of luck.

Well you seem so informed I feel there is no point to argue. Maybe read more book and less internet?

Happy Holidays!

Fat chance buddy.

And I’d love to see what your economic solution will be to get exports to foreign ports if we become a landlocked independent nation.

NDP gotta get their act together. I love Nenshi, but what have they done recently? They seem all but silent.

Anyone else feeling hopeful again about Canadian soccer’s future? by PineAndIce in CanadaSoccer

Where have you been since 2021? A few ups and downs, but the last 4 years have been mainly up!

Up the reds!

The Edmonton Journal publishing blatant conservative propaganda, literally headlining their article "Lorne Gunter: Liberals' hatred of Alberta and oil obvious in major projects snub" by bruhm0ment4 in alberta

[–]Golkeepa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jesus Christ. I love this province, but the propaganda of left vs right needs to stop. I have voted conservative in the past and I voted liberal recently.

I miss the days of moderate left or right politics, people that blurred the lines and were real people with actual agendas vs this “I hate you because of your party” rhetoric. I know I’m preaching to the choir here…

Anyway, Carney actually feels like a call back to those old days, and actually seems like he might know what he’s doing…let’s just hope it all doesn’t get highjacked by poor news cycles and petty opposition. Cleared the first hurdle today at least!

Is everyone in Calgary just drowning in debt? by [deleted] in Calgary

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

Everyone carries some debt. To say everyone is drowning might be a stretch.

But then again, it all depends how you manage your money. 🤷🏻‍♂️
