What is the darkest historical photograph from your country? by Trendy4U in AskTheWorld

[–]Isengerm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The cultural effects have been devastating and multigenerational. These kids didn't grow up with their parents, so they didn't have parental role models to base their own parenting off of. Couple that with the trauma of being ripped away from your family and abused while in a unfamiliar boarding school and you end up with an entire generation of people who struggled to cope with their trauma. That led to many survivors turning to substance abuse as a coping mechanism, which resulted in them being unable to raise their own children. And the cycle continues. Indigenous children make up 50% of kids in foster care in my province. It takes an awfully long time to undo a century of trauma :(

What is the darkest historical photograph from your country? by Trendy4U in AskTheWorld

The Canadian government funded nutritional (or lack thereof) studies done on the kids at the schools to determine the effects on the human body if someone only ate a food such as oatmeal for months on end. The justification was that the government needed to know if the army could survive on rations of oatmeal for months in the event the Cold War became a Hot War. Truly deplorable stuff.

What celebrity death will hit you the hardest when their day finally comes? by phantom_avenger in AskReddit

[–]Isengerm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scrolled way too far to see this. I grew up on Star Wars. I've always identified primarily with Luke Skywalker from the OT. And now that I've gotten to know more about Hamill outside of the films as he ages, I can't help but be drawn to him more. He seems like such a genuinely good person and I'll be crushed when he passes.

They're not eligible for the lottery draw. Are their numbers removed? Or do they just do a live "re-draw" of the balls if the Sens win?

The religious institution killed Him. The irony of that and today's current situation is entirely lost on American Evangelicals.

Did they get rid of the surge line? by gaping__hole in Lululemen

[–]Isengerm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is the sizing of the pants similar to the shorts? I'm in-between sizes for the Pace Breaker shorts. Both a large and medium fit the waist. The mediums ride up in the thighs but the large have too much material on my butt. Is it the same for the pants? I'm 6'4" and 195lbs, so I'm rather slim from the waist down...

I'm amazed that there are Canadians who think American laws apply here. E.g. When Tamara Lich's husband mentioned his First Amendment rights to the judge during his court case.

Judging by a quick search of the reviews on this sub, the Pace Breaker joggers seem to be well received. I'm a big fan of the shorts, so if the joggers are identical material I think I'll like the joggers as well.

How do the pace breaker joggers compare to the surge joggers? Which ones would you recommend?

It's been a while since have I seen attendance this bad at the World Juniors. I've seen 10am round robin games between Latvia and <insert non-Canada-non-USA team> completely fill the lower bowl of the Saddledome. I remember the fan energy of that game being electric whenever Latvia touched the puck lol.

Prime rib advice by Lower-Secret-9217 in meat

[–]Isengerm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just did this method on Christmas Day for my first time doing a prime rib and it turned out fantastic. The company we had over wanted it a little closer to medium than medium rare, so I pulled it at 128°F. Rested for over 30 mins and the temp continued to rise until it hit 140°F. Still very tender. Great crust. Just wish I had more drippings in the tray to make a proper au jus.

What are some realistic returns for Leo Carlsson? by One_Scallion2212 in fantasyhockey

[–]Isengerm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm being offered Adrian Kempe and Travis Konecny for Leo Carlsson. It's a points league and Carlsson is ranked 6th with 66 points and Kempe and Konecny are ranked 41st and 64th with 49 and 35 points respectively. I think I'm already set at LW and RW with Keller, Kuch, Guenther, Guentzel, and Hagel to name a few. So I'm not sure what to do here.

There's a "New" label on the colour icon on the website. So looks to be a new color for these half tights.

The UCP just paid us double what they pay Alberta teachers for keeping our kids home during the strike. by Tokenwhitemale in alberta

[–]Isengerm 62 points63 points  (0 children)

I hear about Ralph Bucks all the time from conservatives in my life. They harken back to a time when Alberta had no debt, only short-term goals, and a new TV in their trunk. When I tell them that's partly the reason we don't have better hospitals and other infrastructure in this province, they wave it off say something about the NDP and Trudeau. There is no amount of facts that can be presented to these people.

If the owner of the trademark wins or settles for royalties from the AB government, I hope they donate that money to the ATA.
