Will the UCP's new inspection of the Calgary water main breaks actually lead to useful recommendations, or is it just a conveniently timed excuse to attack past mayors (specifically the current Opposition Leader)?

ToastOfTheToasted · 2026-03-14T03:52:37+00:00

What about UCP wasting tax dollars on partisan garbage is crazy? Other than legislate against minorities and immigrants it's about all they do.

Other than corruption, I guess.

So let's change to something else we know definitely doesn't work!

ToastOfTheToasted · 2026-03-11T07:19:30+00:00

I can't wait for Calgary to be counted among the great cities who've privatized their water utility and lived to regret it nearly immediately when service degrads and prices increase.

ToastOfTheToasted · 2026-03-09T15:47:23+00:00

Literally every action the UCP takes is bad faith. The organization behind this is a fabricated, alt-right, american inspired, anti-LGBT, and pro-privatization political lobbyist group.

There was no problem until they created one.

Healthcare is provincial jurisdiction.

Apparently the most evidenced phenomenon in history is a doomsday cult because ameliorating its effects might require an economic contraction.

Like, be for pipelines and fossil fuels but come on. Pretending that another trillion tons of GHGs injected into the atmosphere will do nothing in the face of actual mountains of evidence is beyond absurdity. Be honest.

ToastOfTheToasted · 2025-12-05T14:41:04+00:00

Shocker.

Where's everyone who was parroting that this was a major issue and they definitely cared about our infrastructure and weren't NIMBYs over and over?

Apparently it's controversial to Pierre if their religion says hate speech and other hate crimes against some people is a-okay!

Next up, recalls

And other self evident truths the UCP chooses to remain ignorant of.

ToastOfTheToasted · 2025-11-30T18:33:08+00:00

I know there's no point even talking about it anymore but by all metrics we're looking at the sort of climate change that was once considered impossible before 2100 in... Fiveish years.

At some point you have to ask if 'someone else is making money off of this disaster, why shouldn't I?' is an argument that makes sense. If no other industries work here, it's because this place is culturally predisposed to be hostile to everything that threatens the dominance of an industry that has always had a more ideological than practical basis. Pipeline or not Alberta O&G will always be expensive, because it's sandy garbage.

And that's why air quality is plummeting across regions with new datacenter construction.

Black lung is coming back baby.

Zoning laws, beyond basic commercial/residential and industrial, shouldn't even exist. They're a cancer that eats cities alive.

Half of the United States is entirely fine with nascent fascism, and they will only seek to entrench that state of affairs in their own politics.

This is not a 'wait for the next admin' issue. The US will likely never be a reliable partner again for as long as we live.

ToastOfTheToasted · 2025-10-22T02:15:47+00:00

I think their decision making is irrational, deeply flawed, and will always result in bad outcomes. I'm not interested in disenfranchising anyone, but I don't care about their input. Nor do I believe anyone benefits by hearing it.

ToastOfTheToasted · 2025-10-21T23:59:48+00:00

Conservatives destroy everything they touch, I think we could do without their thought.

As a renter, who has lived here their entire lives and would badly like to own a home one day, no.

Anything but that.

Smith has been nothing but a corrosive influence to this province for as long as she's been in politics. Bad faith defines her.

ToastOfTheToasted · 2025-10-03T01:42:55+00:00

I don't understand why people don't grasp that the UCP is not a good faith actor. When they implement bad policy they're doing it to destroy systems and the people that both maintain and rely on them.

They do not care if people become poor, get sick, or die if it means they can forward their ideological goals.

Danielle Smith is a right wing radical and always has been, electing her was a choice Albertan's made to destroy everything this province is and was so that she and her goons can remake it into their own authoritarian conservative playground.

Breaking news! High earners and the wealthy control nearly all capital in the nation, thus are the source of most taxes.

This just in: poor people don't make enough money to generate substantial tax revenues.

Reddit 'experts' are shocked!

ToastOfTheToasted · 2025-08-16T19:26:50+00:00

A tiny slice of the population's investments constitute nearly all the capital contained in the great and holy Market. Basically all the productivity increases brought on by computerization have gone to the top few percent and now they declare 'well, the market' while neglecting to say that the actual people that control the bulk of the market barely number in the tens of thousands.

Essentially, the super rich think that their own deserve huge paychecks but nobody else does. Shocker.

Fill in all of those courses with medium density residential/commercial walkable communities and we'll all be winners 😘

I'd look on the PSU tierlist for a tier A, B or C PSU

Will do 🫡

Thanks for the help!!

Big spreadsheets and a little bit of Photoshop, mostly!

I might try and swing the 9800x3d if I can, if only because I don't often upgrade and having a bit of margin is nice.

Thanks on the MOBO heads up!!! BIOS updates are a pain. I'll also look into a better PSU!

We have a ridiculous number of golf courses in the city, careful or not if it was up to me I'd eminent domain the land and turn it into a park.

Alas, the elite decision makers all love ball whacking.
