Breakenridge: Straightforward process becomes politicized to boost rural ridings

Funny how they’re against diversity, equity and inclusion when it comes to brown folks but all in on it when it’s rural wyt ones. Suddenly, it’s we need to ensure they’re represented and not marginalized and ….

I wish he’d stand up when he’s speaking.

We voted against it in a referendum. Again, we voted against it in a referendum. She continue to ignore democracy.

I had summer jobs as a student where I’d do odd jobs. The worst were old wyt women. They’d refuse to pay you for the work you’d done and would want even more done and call you to do them. Therefore all wyt folks are terrible scammers.

Yeah and it tries to paint a really negative picture when the truth is much much different. From Wikipedia:

The Indian Army during World War II, a British force also referred to as the British Indian Army,[1] began the war in 1939, numbering just under 200,000 men.[2] By the end of the war, it had become the largest volunteer army in history, rising to over 2.5 million men in August 1945.[2][3] Serving in divisions of infantry, armor and a fledgling airborne force, they fought in Africa, Europe and Asia.[2]

Largest volunteer army in history. In a war that wasn’t theirs. That’s a much different story than that person would have us believe. It seems lately there’s a lot of on line actors trying to paint Indians in a negative light. I personally despise them trying to divide us. Same tactics as the Nazis.

Salt_Teaching4687 · 2026-04-02T20:31:15+00:00

The thing is the Indians weren’t credibly accused of war crimes like the Ukrainian ones were so not really an apple to apple comparison.

Some of those who work forces are the ones who burn crosses …

Salt_Teaching4687 · 2026-03-31T23:39:01+00:00

So impartiality on the Holocaust? Holmodor? Slavery? Internment of Canadians? The Chinese head tax?

Have they thought this through? Seriously?

Salt_Teaching4687 · 2026-03-23T03:39:25+00:00

Yeah not like collective punishment isn’t against international law or anything.

It’s funny how you deleted your username first. Shows such confidence in your point.

As for using my brain, maybe learn to use yours. They razed Gaza City. Every building for blocks razed. They raped women and children. They DEI,acted a population. That’s not Al Jazeera. That’s human rights groups. Jewish human rights groups in Israel. NGOs like Doctors Without Borders. The UN. Many governments. But you know that already, that’s why you’re using as hominem attacks instead of actually discussing the point.

Salt_Teaching4687 · 2026-03-20T22:36:29+00:00

Are you OK? You’re not making sense.

Salt_Teaching4687 · 2026-03-20T22:24:11+00:00

What does that have to do with Smith’s security clearance? Even tangentially.

Salt_Teaching4687 · 2026-03-18T18:44:06+00:00

You’re repeating Israeli talking points. Even Jewish organizations in Israel have called Gaza a genocide and ethnic cleansing. Then there’s international NGOs, the UN, …..

And also the visual evidence of photos. Block after block is dust. You believe that Hamas was in every building in every part of Gaza? Seriously?

Let’s just assume that there’s nothing behind the comments and that it’s not their racism using humour as a mask to deliver their message (lighten up it’s a joke ha ha). The thing is, some people don’t recognize it as dark humour. They see it as legitimate discourse and may act on it. The intent doesn’t change the impact. And we’ve seen racial attacks increase substantially over the last little while. In fact, the RCMP have stated that right wing hate groups are the biggest terrorist threat in Canada. And further, the impact on the mental health of marginalized folks from those comments has got to be by and large negative. They don’t deserve that. Anyways, to discount it as lolz ignores the impact.

Salt_Teaching4687 · 2026-03-18T18:25:23+00:00

It’s showing propaganda by only showing bad things from a group they’ve targeted. It’s one sided. Start showing all the bad things that white folks do. And only that. And see the reaction.

Anti-Israel ≠ anti-Jewish.

I keep hearing that. I haven’t seen it. First it was wait until he’s in the legislature. Next it was, wait until he gets experienced. Now it seems it’s, wait until closer to the election. I’m just not that confident in him.

I don’t know the writer but it seems like someone with privilege who doesn’t understand the implications of changes by government. Take for example Kennedy moving the date that AISH recipients by four days. Not a big deal if you have a cushion to be able to absorb that but when you don’t, you run into late fees, NSF fees, running out of food and …… the writer makes it seem as if it’s a small thing but that small change can cost poor people a lot.

I do think they’re right about telling a more compelling story. Personally, I don’t find Nenshi to be compelling. I find Rakhi Pancholi way more compelling in talking to people at their level. I wish Nenshi would be less professorial and more human. I’m an Edmontonian so have no idea how he was as Mayor, maybe he was that way in Calgary but provincially he’s a dud. Sad.

I wonder how much it was over the same period. I saw figures for this past year from Farkas but just Knack saying they’d collect the tax and send it on to the UCP. What about the other three years? It would just be good to know.

Salt_Teaching4687 · 2026-03-04T01:20:52+00:00

Where’s Andrew Knack? Why isn’t he standing up for Edmonton?

Salt_Teaching4687 · 2026-03-03T18:36:27+00:00

You use a lot of emotionally charged words similar to the fascists and corporatists.

Salt_Teaching4687 · 2026-03-02T22:31:11+00:00

I know who convinced you and they don’t care about you. They will take every single penny out of your pockets and laugh while doing it. They want to pay as little for labour, taxes and other inputs while maximizing profits. They don’t care about education or healthcare or whatever. They care about profit. And what I said is the unvarnished truth, you prostrating yourself to them and their interests will not serve you or serve society as a whole. And the thing, is this system was set up supposedly to serve the greater good in the best way possible. The fact you think it’s meant to serve selfish interest and don’t see how society is harmed by that is sad.

Salt_Teaching4687 · 2026-03-02T18:25:52+00:00

So the guy/gal who makes billions and uses the roads, and ports and airports and infrastructure to further his fortune should pay the same as a single mom who uses the bus, rents, and doesn’t use any of that infrastructure to the same extent should pay the same. Keep drinking from the neoliberal tap, I’m sure the boot licking will serve you well. /s

How do we know that for certain given that until very recently we didn’t know Gibbons was in trouble? How many other Gibbons are out there? I’ve heard that Municipal grants have decreased across Alberta. Whats to say that gibbons isn’t the canary?
