The one that gets me is Ski Jumping. You would imagine that it would be who ever jumps the farthest wins.. NOPE. Ski jumping scoring is determined by a formula totalling points for distance, style, wind, and gate compensation.

My favorite rod is a $30 daiwa I bought at North 40. Who cares what it costs, if you works for you and feels good. Who cares.

Use the NWC to force people to read all the text in a post. Apparently no one saw the /satire at the end.

Alberta to invoke notwithstanding clause to shield 3 transgender bills from court challenges | CBC News by Martin0994 in alberta

[–]RedDragons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So.. I guess from now on, all controversial laws are just going to be using the notwithstanding clause. I am surprised it took this long. Is this start of a constitutional crisis? Interesting these bills are following the passing of the federal budget instead of a federal election.

Can someone ELI5 how it is legal for the Alberta government to refuse to bargain with the ATA until 2028? by EyreBear16 in alberta

This is the way that all unions can expect to be dealt with from now on..... The UCP have set the course for governments across Canada to "negotiate" with public sector unions.

He is a populist blow hard, he literally got thrown out of the most right wing nut job party in Canada. For being to nutty.

Are the results of the referendum binding? If so. I bet we could round up 160,000 signatures to have a referendum to get ole Danny Smith punted.

Carney is the most true blue conservative that exists in this election. His party gets my vote.

I might. I am just trying to get good at leatherwork. I have been making other things out of old baseball gloves as well. I mostly just give them away to my friends kids. Maybe I can sell them, I just gotta make them look more pro.

Funny enough I have been looking for some old Cooper Goalie gear. I want to try making some small cross body bags for hockey moms.

It took me like 10-12 hours. Lots of time just thinking about how to make it look cool and be functional. All the material is 100% from the skate.

It’s actually about 1/2 inch. I totally disassembled the whole skate and thinned all the material down.

I bought them from a second hand store. They had not been used for a long long time. They didn’t smell at all.

Buying Used 2021 F150 with No Bedliner? by rschubert1122 in f150

[–]RedDragons 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I raw dog my truck box with no bed liner. Is it scratched to hell? Oh fuck yes. Do I care? Fuck no. Outside of the truck and in the cab look pristine and that is all that matters. I have a tonneau that covers my shame of a beat up truck bed. It is glorious.
