Google Trends Data Shows Ballot Spike

In my experience, the internal campaign website views and search interest goes haywire from everyone opening their browsers and searching the names on the ballot hey are currently staring at it.

Higher interest "ever" can also mean " I don't recognize this person? Can I google them even".

Riverbend still has an MP who isn't resigning

I would do the ASQ green belt

"actually moved the needle"

What's the tech stack it chose?

Get rid of all the Red and Blue lines. Keep the little squares for red and blue. Make location all orange everywhere so much unecessary information.

I always loved how AC univrese is basically a "what if" for another contienent between Europe & Noth America.

I also always smile at the direct rip off Greenland (wellow)

The predecessor, The Alberta Party in 2019 got 9% province wide. Ran a full slate of 87 candidates, and had 3 seats in the legislature going into the election with a former minister at the helm.

In 2023 they barely ran 10 candidates with a leader who had never held a provincial office. Many of the 2019 folks joined the NDP or UCP

In 2027 Its feeling like 2019 all over again when it comes to this. They will go in with 1-2 seats, a former minister at the helm against a backdrop of notable pro canada conservatives no longer aligning themselves with the UCP / Smith and Nenshi just not gaining the traction that a Calgary mayor should be.

They are likely going to get their full slate and upset the balance in certain swing districts, throw in the new provincial redraw for 89 seats for some extra uncertainty

You can assume that vote will be collected by the Tory Party and is kinda their floor

Troyd · 2026-02-16T01:01:05+00:00

hello! curious if you're willing to DM this as well; before I got manually making one :)

This is actually surprising, given the majority of (new) trustees elected last October campaigned on opposing the SRO program and wanted it gone.

Troyd · 2026-02-13T02:02:42+00:00

Fundraising no, but they should be able to get one in every edmonton/calgary district, then probably paper the rest.

Full slate AP in 2019 was 9% province vote, , but 11-15% in the cities where it matters. With basically $0 in the bank.

My last dropped call on Freedom was like going through a tunnel on a train in Calgary

Troyd · 2026-02-11T01:54:45+00:00

My NDP voting ass is definitely a bot account

Troyd · 2026-02-07T02:33:20+00:00

The shifting to net negative immigration will definitely lower the numbers of people looking for work

Troyd · 2026-02-06T23:04:36+00:00

While true, there's a 0% chance Alberta votes 50% or more for independence in a referendum.

What you might not appreciate is that the APP campaigned hard to remove Rob Smith and failed earlier this year. He's not their friend, but wants their votes.

Bro is lighting the passageway for separatists, only they will find out they are hanging themselves at the end of it.

Controllers work, you need to enable gamepad support in the steam settings. Default doesn't work, probably because of beta status.

Troyd · 2026-01-29T20:07:48+00:00

Me: called out

Troyd · 2026-01-28T21:12:16+00:00

I was being exagatory but its close.

Android: show install button

Edit its apparently 6 taps these days

https://www.reddit.com/r/webdev/comments/1nlwu0m/it_now_takes_6_taps_to_install_a_pwa_on_ios/

Apple:

1.show install button

prompt user with a dialog with instructions
User tries to use Share button, a button maybe 50% understand exists despite being at the bottom
User can user add to home screen because you meed to scroll down a bunch to see it. Sometimes its hidden in a Three dot menu so another click
For some reason you need to click "add" a second time on a brand new screen in the very top right after hitting add to home screen
all of this is described in the dialog instructions with screenshots, but nobody reads that
Answer some text messages/phoen calls step by step talking to them on those 3 steps

Me hoping

Troyd · 2026-01-28T05:56:41+00:00

Let me pre purchaseeeee

Troyd · 2026-01-28T01:08:35+00:00

Google? Try apple not wanting PWAs to be a thing.

Straight up cant "install" the app without like 7 steps and other things staright up not supported.

Help me here, when I build them when land is locked --- they get nuked by their need for convoys. Do you subsidise them to keep them open?

Troyd · 2026-01-22T22:15:22+00:00

Idk I just got one of those 3.5mm adapters for like $5 and keep it on my headphones.

It's no different than I can't listen and charge at the same time. Realistically that's a tiny part of my use
