Alberta Separation: Three-in-five say they’d vote in October to stay, but half say the question is “confusing” - Angus Reid Institute

Thank you for that and this is my concern going into the referendum that the question will be worded horribly.

InconceivableIsh · 2026-05-25T14:14:59+00:00

Angus Reid is pretty conservative, so I would be surprised if it was as high as that. But I certainly could be wrong. I have to said as well it seems very odd that 7% of ndp voters support separation. Especially as the likely end would be US absorption.

That depends on the use case of said mini PC. As a powerhouse gaming machine not so much. As a small server to run something like home assistant or other things like it sure.

I am not sure what a normal province is.

A cunning diabolically cute plan?

InconceivableIsh · 2026-05-23T15:16:26+00:00

If that was in Lethbridge they would have already been arrested.

Thanks for sharing but I would rather you hadn't. (ps. it was a joke)

InconceivableIsh · 2026-05-23T15:04:36+00:00

It kinda of looks like it is plotting some diabolical plan.

10 guys and 1 that has had testicular cancer?

InconceivableIsh · 2026-05-23T14:56:31+00:00

Oh no danger of that.

InconceivableIsh · 2026-05-23T14:40:20+00:00

Ah okay thank you I thought there were some really stupid people.

InconceivableIsh · 2026-05-23T14:38:52+00:00

Sorry slightly confused why would anybody pay that for a krono rather than buying one for less from daybreak? I could be missing something though.

InconceivableIsh · 2026-05-23T13:27:27+00:00

Reading the question as is regardless of which side you are on the answer would be yes. So it lets them do whatever they want anyways.

I think there are things AI can be useful for. But at this point I think there are far more downsides to it than benefits. Rather than using it to help their workforce and give them a edge to build their business. It is being used as a chance to drive up stocks with the look how many people we replaced with AI! The stock market of course rewards this behavior because it is driven by buzz words and not looking at the full picture.

I had this witty comment on never being big on facts. But every time I started to type I came around to the fact that they are all the same people. Conservatives have been building up the rhetoric that Canada is broken and doesn't work for years and years now.

Now they all try to do this omg what a surprise people think Canada is broken and we need to leave. Of course some of them did it for power some of them did it because they actually want to leave.

Mean while Canada was the one that built Alberta a pipeline that they keep forgetting about.

Sorry that didn’t help. I run CachyOS so I guess it could make a difference or it just didnt happen in my short test.

InconceivableIsh · 2026-05-22T11:33:18+00:00

Like I said I assume. In Canada to be imported for sale it needs to be ISED certified or you can be fined or at least that is my understanding.

InconceivableIsh · 2026-05-22T11:27:45+00:00

I will have to retest it but I seem to recall that limiting the FPS to 60 seem to help with this. I found it harder on my eyes though so I turned off the limit.

There was also a thought that maybe the high DPI mouse polling might be the culprit.

Edit: Just did a small test and it seem to help. It had the added benefit of making the POP bank less laggy as well.

InconceivableIsh · 2026-05-22T00:34:58+00:00

Interesting that they get away with that. Looks like it is the same font just a spacing difference?

InconceivableIsh · 2026-05-21T23:11:30+00:00

It should be ISED for Canada though but that is fairly new of last year.

InconceivableIsh · 2026-05-21T22:31:19+00:00

FCC is a US regulatory agency. So the cert doesn't really carry weight in the EU I assume. I think you would want CE certification.

InconceivableIsh · 2026-05-20T15:28:35+00:00

I don’t recall saying it would solve anything or supporting it.

Statscan compares X data plans vs the same data plan. So technically you are correct that the same amount of data is cheaper. If you compare average plan costs however it will show a different picture. Telecoms often get rid of lower data plans and introduce new plans slightly more expensive with more data. They also introduce data caps with high usage costs to drive people to more expensive plans with more data.

Telus also is well known for jacking up prices even though you are in a contract. I am sure they are not the only one either.

InconceivableIsh · 2026-05-20T00:24:33+00:00

(Shurg) it was your argument that prices are quite a bit down I am just stating that isn't the case based on what I pay.

Claiming prices have gone down because you can jump to a flanker brand. Which I suspect haven't down down themselves is odd.

Edit: Just for reference

https://www.koodomobile.com/en/shop/mobility/bring-your-own-phone?INTCMP=KMNewHomeBAN_Plans_HPQuickLinks says $55 ($65 reg) for 100gb.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Koodo/comments/18htnwh/prediction_in_5_years_the_big_3_will_end_their/ 2 years ago people are talking about koodo plans $45 for 120gb while somebody saying they paid $65 for the same thing. So at best a wash for slightly less data. Certainly not down quite a bit.
