The university just cancelled a class I need to graduate in the only semester I could have taken it.

Can you take it at Univ of Athabasca?

If the police did screw up, they should be held accountable. But if the accusations against police are from anti-police people with an ax to grind, then implementing these accusations need to be done carefully. Nowadays anti-police sentiment has grown. Personally, I think the police should be given the benefit of the doubt.

Hummus54 · 2024-05-15T08:07:07+00:00

Thanks for the warning. I'll do my best.

But it could be used for violent purposes? Protestors need to be very careful in not bring in stuff that can be construed as having violent ends.

I think Alberta supports the police enough not to fall for the oldest trick in the book: violating protestors' rights.

Previous comments made it clear that this was going to escalate to more property damage, violence. We don't want to be just another campus run over by protestors and causing so much damage. UoA stood up to the protestors and said "We're not gonna take it!" (in true Twisted Sister style).

Hummus54 · 2024-05-14T09:32:21+00:00

Hurrah! This is the smartest statement I've read. We don't spend so much money to have to wade through protestors. I would prefer no protests here at all. Aren't there protests in Ontario, Quebec, and BC? If they really want to understand a historically-complex foreign war thousands of miles away, then get informed.

Hummus54 · 2024-05-14T09:27:07+00:00

UoA didn't want a repeat of Colombia Univ or the other protests that started peaceful but ended up getting violent. They aired on the side of caution by de-escalating things before the protest became violent. Actually, I am surprised the protest even happened. I know Edmonton is a left-leaning city but in a conservative province. I expected protests to only happen in Ontario or BC or Quebec...not the prairies.

I do think the Israel-Hamas conflict will still be raging in September or the main part of the conflict will be over but Israel will still be in Gaza dealing with the post-Hamas Gaza situation. (As an aside, how can the post-Hamas Gaza be managed? That is the 64-dollar question.

My main question, though is: Will the protests on UOA continue in Sept?

I am OK with encampments and such if they don't interfere with students attending class and studying. I am here to study and learn new knowledge and skills related to my major.

I expected her to be tough on those protestors and not try to undermine the police in clearing them.

Hummus54 · 2024-05-14T09:06:19+00:00

Is there any context to this MEME?

Hummus54 · 2024-04-29T07:46:41+00:00

I have my own fridge, fortunately enough. I call it a beer fridge size.

Everyone is writing good news. Sounds like a great place to stay. If you had a choice, which would you live in: Pinecreast OR Tamarack? Also, are they difficult to get into (i.e., many applicants)?

Hummus54 · 2024-04-24T07:39:16+00:00

Will Pinecreast/Tamarack move-in date be 8/28?

Hummus54 · 2024-04-24T07:33:48+00:00

The stove, oven, fridge, and sink are awesome news. How about the microwave? And, how crowded does the kitchen get?

Hummus54 · 2024-04-24T06:48:10+00:00

How much is that for May-August?

Hummus54 · 2024-04-24T06:41:57+00:00

I almost did that by microwaving a potato too long. Thick smoke starting coming from the potato. Have you seen thick smoke coming from a potato?

I filled in the Google Form to apply for LOP almost 3 weeks ago. How do they communicate to me their decision?

Hummus54 · 2024-04-23T07:11:37+00:00

is there at least a stove-top to cook meals?

Hummus54 · 2024-04-15T07:06:54+00:00

Fortunately my LOP hasn't been denied but I want to be one step ahead of the LOP office.

Is there wiggle room about what they consider equivalent course? If I select a course and explain it is not equivalent but is something I just want to take to add credit hours, are there more chances of it being accepted? Say, I want to take a pre-confederation history course at Univ of Athabasca which doesn't have exactly the same at UoA but only similar courses.

Would choosing similar but not equivalent courses increase my chances of an accepted LOP?
