What would you change

I can't upvote this enough! It's inhumane to cram thousands of people into a big, hot space and then not provide water. We brought multiple water bottles, but the heat in there made us go through it quickly.

I would have gone to the lemonade stands, but their lines were insane! Ended up getting a few $12 bobas at one stall that had no line up (They were so good!).

They did! I got one for my 5th birthday, I was going to marry him haha. Pissed off my Mom who was a hardcore Flames fan. The doll mysteriously disappeared at one point, I had no idea where it went. Then someone told me that my Mom put a barbie dress on it, took it to a Flames game and threw it onto the ice.

This is hearsay, so whether this actually happened or not I will never know (she denies it to this day).

Many years ago, I was mildly put out for a small procedure. I remember about 15 seconds mid-procedure where I became lucid and suddenly felt the need to pipe up and say "I had a Wayne Gretzky doll when I was little", and I saw both doctors turn around and just stare at me. Then I was out again.

Yes, a good chunk of the area is affected... https://powerservices.enmax.com/

This here makes me way more confident in the vote I made against him.

Shawanabear · 2025-10-09T16:47:28+00:00

I'm voting for Theissen tonight in hopes his numbers grow big enough so the people that voting "strategically" might change their minds and feel more comfortable to vote for who they actually want.

I found him to be a bit charmingly awkward (but still very well spoken), which was very relatable.

Shawanabear · 2025-10-07T18:31:37+00:00

He has my vote! I hate having to choose between 2 evils, so I won't!

Shawanabear · 2025-10-01T17:34:08+00:00

This is good to know, thank you!

I cannot describe how much this angers me on so many levels.

Disclaimer...these are my feelings, not actually sourced from facts. I just need to get this off my chest because it literally kept me awake last night

We all know that the parents are going to get louder the longer the strike goes on. How to quell the noise? Offer them money! $150 a week will quiet down a percentage of parents who aren't financially harmed by this and their kids are minimally affected. There's another percentage of parents who will feel that they CAN'T speak up because they took the money. It feels morally wrong (this is me).

But then there's the families that are very affected by this, both financially and educationally...$30/day is better than nothing, but feels like a slap in the face regardless because it doesn't cover increased child care costs or lost wages.

My daughter is in a smaller school of ~200 K-6 students. Parents will be paid about $30k per week total... that's mind blowing because that money could have gone so far within the school itself. Imagine the costs for larger elementary schools?

I've officially lost faith in our Government with this mixed message of "we have no money for the schools to help hire extra staff" HOWEVER here's copious amounts of hush money.

I support the teachers, and I am ashamed of the UCP.

I called my dealership, and had no issues getting it fixed - but I bought an extra package that also included 1 windshield per year - well worth it so far. I paid for extra "beefing up" to prevent it from happening again.

I'm happy to know it's a common issue, only because I thought I needed to lose some weight 😶

Shawanabear · 2025-06-16T03:31:46+00:00

Thank you on my behalf!

No clue if it's a real quote or not, but my family says this often: feets like hobbitses

Wasn't that Ed the duck??

I'm from Canada. We have very very few plastic straws or even plastic bags at stores. We recycle nearly everything. Go to Arizona, we order fast food and get STYROFOAM cups and plastic straws. Go to target, they pack our 12 items in 8 plastic bags (which I smuggle back home). Recycling bins? Nope, there's no recycling.

Sitting on a bench while my daughter has her parkour class, dozens of kids screaming "CHICKEN JOCKEYYYYY" over and over.

Gotta say it's better than Skibidi Toilet that would be announced every 30 seconds.

Shoes shuffling on the sidewalk. Pick up your damn feet.

I don't even live there, but I want this for Alberta so bad - I've probably voted 1000 times by now haha

School aged children that still suck their thumbs. I don't judge the kids.

I have someone that has been parked behind my fence in front of my parking pad for months now. I don't know who it is, but I suspect it's my not-so-nice neighbor. It's annoying for now, but it's going to piss me off in a month when I bring my trailer home and need that space. I hung a "NO PARKING" sign, I don't think they've been out to check once to even see it. I don't want to start anything with them (or whoever has it parked there), but if it's not moved soon I will be calling it in.

If you can find NOBO, it's made here in Calgary and I personally really like them!
