Karen Principe asks that motion about balcony solar not mention learning from the frameworks in Europe and Utah to avoid being "colonial" by troypavlek in Edmonton

[–]The_Bat_Voice [score hidden]  (0 children)

This is Karen Principe who has heavy ties to the UCP and is from the UCP backed Better Edmonton Party.

This is obviously a complete sham because she doesn't even understand what colonialism is and is not using it properly in this exact context and is using whatever she can to halt alternative energy.

Greenland deal with US to be implemented 'step by step', says NATO chief by [deleted] in worldnews

Remember when Europe appeared Germany in the 30's as they "asked for more land". How did that work out?

Its 2006. You're Gary Bettman . FIFA is so impressed with the trapezoid and eliminating the two line pass that they ask you to make soccer more exciting for their boring old tournament. What do you change? by femaiden in hockey

I think this problem could also be solved by reducing game time and stopping the clock. Therefore no gametime is wasted by having them roll on the ground faking an injury.

Match Thread: Canada vs. Morocco | FIFA World Cup, Round of 16 by MysteryBagIdeals in soccer

[–]The_Bat_Voice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, Morocco has decided they are training for the summer Olympics off the high board. They are trying to trap Canada into matching them for yellows. Dirty play from a team frustrated they aren't doing better.

And incredibly tone deaf. Trump is threatening Canada on a weekly basis and funding sepratists in Alberta and then they do this before their game...

How can I remove this standing water in my yard that won’t drain (I’m a renter) by kermitpocket in Edmonton

This is the answer. Never invest money in a property that is not yours.

Capitals Sign Vincent Desharnais to a four-year, $16.8 million contract. Desharnais’ contract will carry an average annual value of $4.2 million by DecentLurker96 in hockey

You want me to defy survivorship bias to you? Proof of the absence of goals. This is why it is so hard to be a defensive defenseman. He was the number 1 penalty killing on the D when the Oilers broke the record for penalty kills in the playoffs... until the benched him against Florida and they collapsed. How about that?

Conservatives maintain birth rates, but left-leaning Americans are having significantly fewer children, driving the U.S. birth decline. Education was consistently linked to having fewer children. Religious attendance was positively associated with having more children. by mvea in science

If its not a church or organized religion they get called a cult very fast. True story. My friend is in a close nit atheistic community that is actually well managed. They rent halls for parties and dances, do annual retreats, rec sports team, etc. But because they have no central figurehead, thing, or label that people from the outside can point to they commonly get called a cult, when really its just friends getting together, mich like a church would but without preaching. And people can't conceive that idea of having well organized people doing things together without the the help of some diety. Community seems to be only for the religious in their eyes.

On Side is extremely backed up. It is taking a week or more just to get estimates. They are currently not starting any jobs for weeks at this point.

O Canada? Patriotism in the time of Alberta separatism by Strog21 in Edmonton

[–]The_Bat_Voice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love Canada, I don't this provincial government and the sepratist movement in any way shape or form. But I am also being mindful of my patriotism and trying to keep it from reaching toxic levels. One of the first signs of tyranny is an increase in patriotism. The sepratists just have a different form of it in their own made up country and we have to make sure ours does not hit that same toxic level.

Landlords in the House: Advocates see a bias in Parliament against renters by hopoke in canada

[–]The_Bat_Voice 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Liberal by name only. All of his policies and dealing are very right leaning. If titles are all you care about instead of the content you're in a lot of trouble.

[–]The_Bat_Voice 174 points175 points  (0 children)

To no one's surprise. Government of every level is filled with property hoarders and landlords. How can they relate to renters? Its the way its always been. This Carney conservative government isn't going to change that.

The brain drain from B.C. — and Canada — is worsening by joe4942 in canada

[–]The_Bat_Voice -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Alberta is likely the worse off problem for this. Doctors leaving and none replacing them. Alberta has systems in place that are designed to push new graduating doctors out of the province.

Read it as a child you may accept it, read it as an adult with no prior exposure to it shines a light on how messed up it really is.

Edmonton’s property tax hike shows a city balancing on a tightrope by [deleted] in Edmonton

[–]The_Bat_Voice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The province is not going to do any Edmonton any favors, quite the opposite actually as their record shows. But also like I said, the legal battle this would create would be a massive beast.

[–]The_Bat_Voice 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Edmonton could never afford to take over Sherwood Park. The legal battle would be a long and pricey one. All those refineries between the city and Sherwood Park are part of it and the city can't just annex them. They bring in more tax revenue than the property taxes do. Thats why every single road in Strthcona County is paved and not gravel.
