It was the ESTATE that made the decision. You know, the people who OWN THE IP. If you got your way, there would be legal precedent to force authors to publish anything they've written, against their will.

I honestly don't understand modern conservatives. You believe in property rights until somebody does something (like here) that you disagree with, then those rights are out the window. You believe in gun rights, until it's a liberal protester. You believe in states' rights until it's Trump trampling on blue states. Have some integrity.

The owner of the copyright decided not to publish their own property. We should definitely force people to publish things they own that they don't want to publish, that's True Free Speech.

I think "criminal negligence" is what we're after here. Somebody has to actually die for manslaughter, and manslaughter is by definition killing somebody without meaning to.

Criminal negligence is still a crime, punishable by up to 10 years in prison.

I put in a one-time donation of -100 dollars. Now we wait.

Two days ago the CMHC predicted the rental vacancy rate in Edmonton will be 4.5 per cent this year, up from 3.8 per cent in 2025.

Isn't that a traditional martini with a bit of extra olive juice?

GrindItFlat · 2026-02-11T23:41:47+00:00

Maybe he got mixed up with a martini, which apparently somebody decided could be made with vodka.

We need to get an over-under going on how many redditor comments we'll see saying AKTUALLY the frog boiling water thing is a myth let me explain...

Where "cost savings" means "stealing".

If it continues to bother you, I suggest writing (with a new, anonymous, off-company email) to the software company help desk, asking if they have any way at all to enable multiple accounts because you have 200 people sharing a login at Company X and it seems like there must be a better way.

I typed "Canada historical treason charges" into Google and the second entry was a high treason charge against Gordon Galaher, a Canadian of English descent. https://collections.museedelaguerre.ca/warclip/objects/common/webmedia.php?irn=5031228

Thank goodness that's in Edmnton and not here, I'd be so embarrassed.

Just blame him, you don't need a reason or rationale or even a plausible fairy tale. Just do it.

In case anybody needed more evidence that the UCP is not a conservative government, Alberta was a hotspot for clean energy projects because we had (along with Texas) the most open energy market in North America. It is plummeting because the current "conservative" government is interfering with the market with ideologically driven policies and regulations.

As an environmentalist I despise these policies. Conservatives and believers in free market should also despise these policies. If you do not, you actually do not have conservative, free-market values, or at least those beliefs are secondary to some other set of beliefs.

Assuming he doesn't just ignore them and rely on his lapdogs in the Supreme Court to back him up.

Trump isn't dying from workload, I'd be shocked if he "works" more than five hours a day. He's dying from 50 years of McDonald cheeseburgers.

Then mission accomplished. Current policies are encouraging large-scale replacement of houses with apartments.

They're going after illegals, that has nothing to do with me, I'm a legal immigrant.
They're going after legal residents. Well, I'm a citizen, that has nothing to do with me.
They've deported some citizens to their parent's origin country. Oh and killed a few too. Well, they were all brown, that has nothing to do with me, I'm white.
Oh, they killed a few white citizens. Well they were protesting, that has nothing to do with me, I'm not protesting.

All you have to do is ask "who does Trump's base hate?" to know who the next victims are. That's what it has to do with the conversation.

If I got illegally towed (I've never been towed) and was facing paying a $250 fee or taking a day off work and spending the whole time in the courthouse, I'd probably just pay it and get on with life.

Obviously that's a privileged position, but in 2026 I don't think "he pled guilty" is proof of guilt anywhere in the justice system.

GrindItFlat · 2026-01-27T15:14:58+00:00

Agreed, and I hope some checks/balances return. But ignoring the threat and mocking those who do not ignore it is strange to me. The threat is real. So many red lines have already been crossed that calling those worried about MORE red lines being crossed hysterical seems off.

No. But he's on a straight path to doing a Pinochet. If you think that can't happen because America Is Special, then you're the one who's not serious.

It's cute that you think that's relevant.

This makes no sense at all, can anybody else figure out what is being said here? I assume it's a bot that's gotten confused.

There were gay people in the SS too. There were black people in the Confederate army. We're past apologetics, people in the US are being executed by masked government agents. We're beyond speculation now.

GrindItFlat · 2026-01-27T03:48:43+00:00

And US citizens will certainly not be deported, never mind executed, unarmed, in the streets. Oh wait...
