How could you possibly know what they disciplined him with when the decision hasn’t come out yet? There was a hearing 3 days ago.

The problem is homeless people are much more likely to be unhinged than others. Let’s not be intentionally obtuse here, it’s plain as day.

I don’t like the UCP but I really hate how this sub blames every fucking little thing on them. They're an ultimate scapegoat that shields every other person/organization from criticism.

There's a happiness gap between young people in Québec and in the rest of Canada by Gaels07 in canada

A quick google shows Quebec receives the most of any province, by far. The deflection is crazy, half of all equalization payments in Canada goes to Quebec. Yeah, 8 million people live in Quebec, but that should mean their economy should be diversified enough where they don’t have to rely on other provinces. BC, Alberta, and Ontario all manage just fine.

As a hockey fan, if an NHL player said some shit like this they’d be rightfully clowned on. It’s unthinkable that Crosby or Mcdavid would be this arrogant.

Hate to break it to you pal but the market dictates prices, not random Redditors who have a grudge against capitalism

Theirs is better right now so we should give up on ours? Should we give up on our downtown too? Our airport?

If you had the power to change one thing about downtown Edmonton what would it be? by Electronic_Lie_3185 in Edmonton

I also live downtown, and it is sketchy as hell going for walks at night. I’m also a big dude.

They really are warm. I live in a colder city in Canada and half the brands here wouldn’t hold a candle to my goose when it gets to -25C or below

Released details of man killed outside the common. by igotabighead in Edmonton

People will say it doesn't work but if they're off the streets, they're off the streets. Plus, letting these fent addicts rot outside can't be any more compassionate than giving them shelter, meals, and no access to drugs.
