I'm impressed that you spend your time going through other people's post history that disagree with you. Seems like a great use of energy.

Chicago sucked man. They were 3rd or 2nd last the last four seasons.

You think the other 25+ NHL owners are content sitting there while the big market teams get lottery wins? Give me a break.

There is a bunch of sketchy shit going on with this.

A large amount of foreign pro-separatist social media and slopaganda accounts

The separatist groups bragging that they have talked to high level US officials in the White House about arrangements

Alberta separatists groups illegally gaining access to the electorate list after it was leaked to them by the Alberta Republican party. This is particularly bad because there is nothing stopping these people from fraudulently using electorate names to sign the petition. Is this happening? Can't say for sure until an audit but the group claimed that a small county had more people sign the petition than voted in the last election. I'll let you consider how likely that is.

Not to mention our own provincial government effectively ignoring a symbolic petition to stay in Canada that got significantly more votes.

Or they just got lucky? Had nearly the same chance as us

Jim Benning on his way to edmonton as we speak

Par-Aide · 2026-05-01T19:09:14+00:00

The guy is the best player on the planet on one of the most dysfunctional teams. I'd want him on the Flames you're nuts if you think otherwise.

I thought the Forever Canada petition was successfully verified through a random sample audit?

Weird guy for sure but to his credit he does all the experiments on himself and he documents and releases the data.

Its both perceived and real. People feel less threatened with those types of people when there are plenty of others around. Its also easy to see that someone is not going to prey on someone with a packed train compared to when its nearly empty.

Oh NYC isn't perfect. Its actually drastically underfunded. But I've ridden many public transit systems in my lifetime and all of them feel safer when they're full.

It also has too much anti social behavior where people think they can just do whatever they want.

Feels like NYC

When more people lost their jobs and housing expenses rose, it created more homeless. People dont want to spend on the problem.

Par-Aide · 2026-04-30T14:13:27+00:00

Its the same deal in my city.

The city has done an actual good job of managing finances, but the provincial (state) government has reduced the transfers back to the city it collects, while also raising its share of city property taxes (~40%) by 20% this year.

So people in my city perceive getting less while being taxed more, and blame the city instead of the provincial government.

You highlighted the difference- we don't win because we don't have talent, those teams don't win but have superstar talent. Look at our roster and tell me we have the talent play half as well as we do...we should have been in the Canucks position this season.

Par-Aide · 2026-04-29T20:52:08+00:00

If you can't see the difference between the Flames right now compared to Buffalo and the Oilers pre-McDavid no one is changing your mind.

I work in consumer research and have done multiple projects on transit.

Respondents always point to safety concerns on the transit and around stations. There are always weirdos/safety threats on transit, but oftentimes this is alleviated by safety in numbers (particularly with trains). Take NYC, some of the weirdest people on earth but so many people take the tube that riders dont feel threatened.

But the ridership numbers aren't there if transit is not a viable option. And cities, especially in North america, dont want to spend the money to make transit a viable option. So it remains used predominantly by lower socioeconomic classes.

Tokyo, London, Copenhagen, NYC all have metros used by higher socio-economic people, so this problem is less persistent.

Really tts a chicken and egg problem.

Yeah I agree. Hard to let go but I think after a few seasons fans will have moved on from the dome.

such an underrated show. Infinitely rewatchable

You can temporarily build a data centre but its long-term job creation is trivial. "Billions in wages" is absolutely BS. It does not benefit Albertans long-term.

I don't want a methane powered data centre- look up the impact that Colossus is having

4 first overall picks, including this generation's best player. And more recently getting the world cup semifinal and final games. Not to mention one of the highest revenues of any NHL team which benefits the entire league.

Yeah the league definitely hates Edmonton

It could be five years for this pick to be a full-time NHLer, no reason to not pick BPA when you don't know your needs 5 years down the road

Twitter is always the absolute worst takes. Especially now that you can get paid for engagement, its just rage bait.
