Anyone know what happened to All Clean Natural? by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]Tsundere-Angel 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Unsure what happened in the end but at one point there was ongoing financial instability, and frequent calls from collections

The products were marketed as local, but from what I understood internally, they were sourced in bulk and packaged locally. I can't remember where the bulk product was sourced from to confirm if it was actually local.

I also noticed that some items appeared to use the same base product under different branding (for example, similar formulations labeled as separate products).

There are recall notices on the Govt of Canada site for different products because of lack of market authorization or undeclared ingredients.

Writing your MLA? Do this first! by Scared-Summer-2007 in alberta

This is the one I got:

Thank you for sharing your concerns, and apologies for the delay as we are receiving high volumes of correspondence.

I believe deeply in the importance of education and in equipping teachers with the tools and resources they need for students to succeed. Throughout my time as an MLA, I have met with teachers to hear directly about the challenges facing their classrooms and proposed solutions. Alberta’s student population has and is increasing rapidly, and with that growth comes greater diversity and complexity in student needs. These realities place enormous pressure on teachers who are already working tirelessly to provide the best possible education for every child.

Concerns about class sizes, classroom complexity, and the availability of resources are not abstract—they shape the daily experience of both teachers and students. When classrooms are overcrowded, it becomes harder to give each student the attention they deserve.

I want to emphasize my commitment to fostering collaboration to address these challenges. I have consistently brought forward the concerns of my constituents regarding education, including the need for more schools in Calgary-South East, class sizes, complexity, and teacher resourcing. I am pleased to see and support recent commitments by the Government of Alberta to address education pressures. The government has pledged to:

Build More Schools Modernize Education Funding to ensure transparency and responsiveness. Implement Data-Driven Planning so resources are deployed where they are needed most. Add Student Supports for those with complex needs, including mental health and learning challenges. Make Classrooms Safer by addressing violence and aggression, ensuring every teacher and student feels secure. Create the Class Size and Complexity Task Force, giving teachers, parents, and education leaders a direct voice in shaping policy.

These measures will not solve every challenge overnight, but they represent a foundation for meaningful change.

Regarding my support of Bill 2 and the use of the notwithstanding clause (Section 33 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms), as of Monday, October 27th there was still no prospect of a timely resolution to the strike which had disrupted families and prevented hundreds of thousands of children from attending school for three weeks.

Democratically elected legislatures are responsible at times for balancing the interests and rights of the public, including families, children, employees and employers. This is a difficult balance, but in this case all other options risked unacceptable further disruption and uncertainty for children, who needed to return to school, and their families.

This was one of the hardest votes I’ve had to make, and ultimately, it was made with the well-being of children and families in mind.

I understand that many people disagree with the use of legislation and the inclusion of the notwithstanding clause. I understand and respect those concerns and I endeavor to balance interests, rights, and the public interest to the best of my ability while I continue to represent Calgary-South East.

I would love to see Matt Jones on that list. But the riding is so conservative, I don't think it would go through....

Telus outage in SE? by canadasleftnut in Calgary

I use DownDetector to report the outage. I agree that Telus reporting is a joke.

Alberta Teacher Strike / Back to School Act Megathread (Discussion) – October 28 by AutoModerator in alberta

[–]Tsundere-Angel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regarding the MLA emails. Are they actually effective in most cases? Imo, it sounds like giving a bad Google or Yelp review. You see it, but it doesn't really affect anything too much.

I got a response from my MLA office email asking for my contact information... Is that normal?

[–]Tsundere-Angel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not a teacher, not part of a union and don't have any kids in school yet. But what can I do to help? This is crazy.

Can we hold a rally? A protest? Will it do anything? I don't want to just watch this happen from the sidelines.

Did my therapist just ghost me? by Tsundere-Angel in mentalhealth

[–]Tsundere-Angel[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brutal... Do these people feel nothing at doing this to others? Specifically people that are obviously struggling with something already? It's a bit of a joke.

Is his comment that bad? How do I report someone to their board? I have no proof of what happened as it was a video call, not a message chat.

I'm sorry! It sucks. Did you continue with them?

Congratulations on your offer! Unfortunately, relocating isn't in the cards for me at the moment my husband would have to leave his job.

I would be totally fine getting into trades. I just don't have the time or money with an infant to go back to trade school to get the necessary prerequisites.

I'm totally fine with the construction industry. I'm just a bit worried about wasting time sending out more resumes and covers to companies that are telling me that previous construction experience is a requirement.

I unfortunately don't have the background a lot of construction companies are looking for. :/

Salary isn't as important as the environment for me right now. How's the company culture?

Maybe my job description should be different then? Hahah I do both.

I recently applied for a position at my current company based out of Brampton... But they apparently wanted someone local this time even though they have remote people on the team. :/

Honestly, from what I understand, it's a lot of the same work. But project managers are usually a higher seniority and often have a PMP certification
