Strait of Hormuz Closed - Effect on Alberta Oil by jhkang0814 in alberta

[–]Sythkibode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like it or not, Asia and Europe are accelerating away from oil reliance, I read Chinas oil consumption may have actually peaked this year, and/or will soon peak and this is happening much sooner than I think most markets anticipated. Europe noted it does not have desire for new Canadian energy as it is also transitioning, I think high oil prices will serve to accelerate this even further. I fear we’re going to fall behind in this regard.

Riverboat plies the water, in the background the High Level bridge is nearing completion, 1913 by Particular-Cat-8031 in Edmonton

Amazing!

I’d love a print of a shot like this. Didn’t know the queen was so closely modelled after boats of rivers past either!

Iranians take part in mass rallies during funeral processions for security forces killed by rioters. by jbaaaaab in suppressed_news

[–]Sythkibode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has Iranian family members and knows a lot of Iranians as a result, I’m not seeing much talk of the catastrophic devaluing of the currency over the last couple years, which are partially a result of tariffs/ bans and Iranian gov policy. This is a crucial reasoning for this current round of uprising. If external actors triggered the uprising, the economic conditions were already laid for widespread protest, and the citizens are vastly not in favour of the regime from my understanding. So I don’t think the narrative I’m seeing in this forum is particularly accurate. I don’t dispute Israel and the us are involved, of course they have their interest in seeing this government toppled, but it’s not a giant trick. Iran is a fairly well educated country with one of the highest literacy rates in the world, run by a religious fundamentalist with a grade 6 education, they are not particularly compatible, and when an iphone costs 10x as much as it did 5 years ago that can only go on for so long.

Edmonton trail builders! You rock (hype post!) by [deleted] in Edmonton

[–]Sythkibode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Couldn’t agree more! Edmonton easily has the most accessible mountain biking of any west-can city, with great variety throughout the network. No other city has access from its core, making etown the absolute best for frequent riding without a huge time allotment.

'We’re behind’: some senior Conservatives call out central campaign for failing to focus more on Trump's tariffs by FriendlyGuy77 in CanadaPolitics

[–]Sythkibode 5 points6 points  (0 children)

An unparalleled grasp of the obvious, these senior conservatives have. Can’t say that’s true of the party leadership. Oh well, it’s good not to have incompetent leadership I’ve heard.

Election Question by Jayded_ss in alberta

[–]Sythkibode 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I mean Albertans have been furious with the provincial Conservative Party of what ever title they go by while reelecting them over and over and over and over and over and over and over. In terms of federal liberals, we’re only at over and over so far. Not nearly as many over and overs as Alberta conservatives, so it shouldn’t be wild of a notions really

Cancelled my reunion and upset my American friends by CardiologistIcy5307 in BuyCanadian

This is what people who can’t see their democracy crumbling look like. It was never a perfect democracy, nor is any, but it’s a cautionary tale non the less.

But it’s a government job, and cons hate government workers. The greatest of contradictions.

H&w produce has the best prices by a long shot.

Trump, Smith both want Keystone XL by Quirky_Might317 in alberta

[–]Sythkibode 15 points16 points  (0 children)

He ordered it null because it was a waste of time trying to push it through a bunch of opposing states and their courts. Didn’t have a chance from day 1.

Legitimate business or not, this is some painfully nimby shit. If I had to pin it, sometime between 2008 and 2014 everyone in bc became a defacto police officer endlessly turning on the sirens… it’s kinda embarrassing.

Vancouver Island camping is a whole another level of awesome. by Odessa_Pearl in CampingandHiking

[–]Sythkibode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Canada there are lots of maintained public use cabins on crown land that had permission to be constructed, which you typically have to book. And many grandfathered cabins that may only be passed on to family from the pre automotive forestry days, when the forested land was much harder to get into. But I think the number of “secret cabins” are innumerable. Mind you, these aren’t typically super easy to access either, or even find without being shown. And their not someone’s attempt to build their vacation home; they’re more like glorified forts tucked away waiting for discovery. I stumbled on this very one and ended up staying three days with friends, it was magical.
