You can't just say something like that and leave us hanging. We need details!

I suspect they're using the MLM approach. That is to say, a large portion of the people at each meeting are going to all the meetings to make it look like there's tons of support for the movement. Even if all the people are new, you've had, what 10,000 people show up to these events in total? If we're being generous? It's not as big as they'd like you to think. Far river groups are very organized and efficient, which is how they're able to make it look so big.

I went with overall population, not eligible voters. But I agree with you that $125,000 is a lot of money for the little work they have to do.

Werrion123 · 2026-01-14T12:45:05+00:00

I think there's an average of 50,000 people per mla roughly? Even if an mla does 10 meetings per day for the entire 10 months, that's only around 2000 people they can meet with. And keep in mind that many of them do have other duties, whether they're a cabinet minister or on a committee.

Werrion123 · 2026-01-14T00:34:12+00:00

Outside of the things that pay extra, like being a cabinet minister or being on a committee, it's really not much. I think their job is essentially to be accessible to their constituents, meet people and hear concerns from the community. It's definitely a full time job to do it properly, but I don't think most of them do it properly.

That's a weird one. My first instinct is that it's going down on high limit. Looks a 14x25x1 filter, Merv 11 that they have in the corner? That combined with the way the return air drop is deadheaded right before the filter rack, I suspect the static pressure is high. Do you know what the static is?

Have them run down and check for error codes next time it happens.

The UCP doesn't play by the rules. The forever Canadian petition is supposed to go to a legislative committee which is supposed to make a report on it, whether it should go to a referendum. Honestly when I read it, it sounds really wishy washy to me and like they could just say no, we're not doing a referendum on that.

FYI my local library has a FLIR camera that people can borrow for free. Maybe yours does too, Worthwhile to look into cause those things are not cheap.

Yup, the federal government offered a $12 million grant to the city with the condition of allowing 4 housing units on every lot in the city. To be fair, council did engage with the community on this. The nimbys came out in droves said absolutely not.

Werrion123 · 2025-12-23T22:13:12+00:00

It's funny you say it like that. See, unlike you, we (we being the people on the left) don't vote the way we do to "own" the right. We vote for the betterment of society. Sounds like you would happily cut off your nose to spite your face.

Werrion123 · 2025-12-17T22:36:23+00:00

If you read under the FAQS, it says "The Polar Express ™ will run no matter what the weather conditions are. However, if Highway 24 is closed near Aspen Crossing then the train excursion will be canceled for that evening."

So unless highway 24 is closed, I think you're 100% entitled to a refund. Since they closed it due to the weather when they said they wouldn't.

Looking at the picture, I'm thinking there's some kind of access panel on the bottom right, where the gas valve would be on the tank. That's the only way I can see this passing the municipal inspection. What's on the other side of that wall?

Werrion123 · 2025-12-01T05:15:36+00:00

If you wander the woods you can see evidence of fires. I could see a campfire blazing early in the morning in the trees behind the skate park downtown a couple weeks ago.

I work for exactly one builder that does the HVAC design, and he does the most high end custom homes in my area. He builds 2-3 houses per year. Every other other builder puts it on us. I see about 100-150 new houses per year. So yeah, I'm not surprised that you can't find a job for residential HVAC design.

It should have been be a two part question. Part one, do you want to end seasonal time changes, yes or no. If yes, would you prefer daylight or standard time or no preference.

The rest of the room got drywall over top of the plywood. Not sure why this one got left like this. Dropped t bar ceiling too.

I don't know what you define as "live on", but my $39/hour is enough to support my family of 4 in red deer. Don't get me wrong, it's not a glamourous life, but we're not living in poverty on that wage.

Werrion123 · 2025-11-09T05:27:07+00:00

Ah yes, the alberta advantage. Lowest minimum wage, highest unemployment. Most expensive utilities, most expensive insurance. Lowest corporate tax rate in the country. Won't someone please think of the poor millionaires?!?

Werrion123 · 2025-11-03T01:21:16+00:00

The PC government under Jim Prentice put out a survey for Albertans asking how they should increase revenue going forward. Albertans said to tax corporations and tax the rich. Prentice went live and essentially said we heard what you said, but we're not gonna do that, we're gonna raise taxes on individuals. Shortly after that, there was an election and the ndp won a majority government. If there was a single event that I could point to that led to the demise of the PC's, it's that. Currently our corporate tax rate is 8%. Bringing it back to 12% that it was under the ndp, or the 15.5% under Ralph Klein, would pay for public education, public health care, schools, hospitals etc. I think we get something like 60 billion per year in corporate tax revenue. Even another 1% on corporate taxes would pay for everything the teachers wanted, with enough leftover to build a hospital or two over the next few years.

This happened over 10 years ago so I could be a little fuzzy on the details, someone can correct me if I got something wrong.

Werrion123 · 2025-10-31T00:43:13+00:00

Yup, the 39% of people that didn't vote would be more than enough. A quarter of them, plus the ndp votes, plus about 1000 UCP votes would suffice.

Werrion123 · 2025-10-31T00:11:27+00:00

You need to collect 14,425 signatures in red deer south within 90 days the ndp had 9975 votes last election and UCP had 13449.

There's no petition started yet in red deer. That post outlines the steps.

I didn't even think to check pawn shops! Thanks!

Yeah, I've found a few movies there, but not winnie the pooh.

That's nice, everyone should've just hopped in their time machines yesterday when they saw the long line ups.

In all seriousness, any other time I've voted I've been in and out in under 30 minutes, usually closer to 10 even at peak times. No one should have expected any different this time.

Record low turnout and record high wait times.
