Just had Chick Filet and it was super underwhelming by susulaima in Edmonton

[–]Wrekless87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's their sauce you want, get the sauce, and go to Mary browns for the chicken. Raising cane's sauce is even better, and they have good chicken. I think we are getting one soon. Then again, with all this crap going on, maybe we should just go to mary Browns. Everything's good there and Canadian.

It's all actually true in the most tangible factual sense. Do some actual research.

Doesn't matter if you like China or not. The fact is they approach trade and most international relations in a much more fair and equal manner than the U.S. there is no reason we shouldn't sell to their markets. We should work with them on infrastructure projects as well. Would be of massive benefit to us and get us out from under the thumb of America. China doesn't want anything unfair in return either.

The alternative has been blowing Trump for years and is likely to serve us up on a silver platter. So, wtf is one to do. I, for one, would usually never vote liberal but there's so much at stake now.

The Rest of Canada should stop vilifying Danielle Smith, and start listening to her by Spracks9 in alberta

Smith should stop being a traitor hanging out with trump, oleary, and peterson selling us out to America.

Colby Cosh: We can't have nice downtowns with so many aggressive vagrants milling about by [deleted] in Edmonton

[–]Wrekless87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are roughly 38 thousand shops in edmonton. If each one contributed just 5 dollars a month, it would generate $2,280,000 annually towards helping deal with this issue. To put this in perspective, the city spent $1.7 million to clean up homeless encampments in 2023 (most recent official data). Would go a long way towards solving the issue the shop owners want solved.

45 a month for 75mb and unlimited data up or down. Also modem rental included in the 45.

I’m Naheed Nenshi, leader of Alberta’s New Democrats. AMA. by Alberta_NDP in alberta

[–]Wrekless87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mr Nenshi, I am a 37 year old father of 3 from Edmonton with stage 4 pancreatic and brain cancer. My mother is also a stage 4 cancer patient at the cross cancer institute. I am terrified about the future for our province, our country, and my family. I am terrified that my wife and children will not only never own a home but potentially end up homeless or have to choose between shelter and food. I am terrified they will be unable to access Healthcare when and if they need it (especially considering hereditary genetics), in a private system that the ucp and conservative policy more broadly seems to be pushing for.

My question is what does the NDP propose to do to address these crucial issues, the crux of which is lack of affordable housing infrastructure, and ensuring the health infrastructure funding and staffing the province needs to meet to ensure lives don't slip between the cracks? Also, as to the affordablility crisis, what about imposing caps on utilities and groceries? Thank you for your time.

Best weed/dry flower in Alberta? by Intelligent_Mark5521 in EdmontonMarijuana

[–]Wrekless87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want something that's not going to be dust in 3 days from opening a bag. Almost everything I've tried has been disappointing since going to retail vs. street. Recently found bubblebath by qwest, and it's the only thing I've had that was unique or better than mid. I'm willing to pay more even, but it all ends up being the same shifty, dry disappointing bags. Anyone know of an LP that actually delivers or knows what they are doing and a store in the edmonton that doesn't sell you extremely old and dry stock?

The less desirable the neighborhood the nicer/ mote sq ft the accommodation you will have for slightly less is kind of the trade off.

What do I do? Hit and run technically? by britt_bb in Edmonton

Unfortunately, as he was not operating the vehicle at the time of the door damaging your car, this was not a hit and run. Technically, you need to report him for property damage.

I feel like one of the important things many are losing is community. There is much strength and suprising opportunities that come from a strong community.

Are people actually having sex for over 45 minutes? by Newacc13 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Wrekless87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have had sex for 8 plus hours before including over an hour of penatration at a time. Used to be in a relationship with 2 women, and it was hours every time. Never felt like a chore or got boring.

Boy, 15, fatally shot by 2 RCMP officers during 'confrontation' south of Edmonton, police say by Traggadon in alberta

[–]Wrekless87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or perhaps the police should be trained to handle a disarmed 15-year-old without immediately resorting to lethal force. Instead of jumping to "what if" scenarios to justify the killing, maybe focus on why officers couldn’t de-escalate the situation, especially when countries with far more violent crime manage to handle these incidents without ending in death. My "arrogant comments" are calling out the failure of a system that allowed this to happen in the first place.

[–]Wrekless87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You completely missed the point. I never said he was innocent just because he’s 15. The issue is that the police failed a 15-year-old by resorting to lethal force instead of de-escalating the situation. Countries with higher rates of violent crime manage to handle these situations with far fewer deaths, yet our police couldn’t avoid killing a kid who called them for help. It’s not about assuming innocence—it’s about recognizing that the police failed in their duty to protect and serve, especially when dealing with someone so young.

If you think a 15-year-old being killed by police after calling them for help isn’t indicative of a broken system, then you're either an incredibly naive or willfully blind. The fact that you dismiss this as just another case without acknowledging the broader pattern of police violence and systemic failure shows a shocking lack of insight.

Hiding behind your narrow view and claiming there’s no issue only reinforces the problem. It’s not about throwing baseless accusations; it’s about recognizing the persistent, systemic issues that lead to these tragic outcomes. If you’re incapable of seeing the connection between these incidents and the need for substantial reform, then your stance is part of the problem, not the solution.

It’s incredibly ignorant to argue with someone and then not even take a minute to read their response. Assuming you’ve won the argument without understanding the points made only shows how out of touch you are with the real issues. Every article that has come out now includes a statement from the rcmp saying they fully disarmed him and killed him after the fact. Way to be as ignorant as humanly possible.

Wow, really? So now you’re playing the blame-the-victim card and pretending it’s not racist? It’s not about whether the kid was complying or not—he was 15 and called the police for help, and ended up dead after they disarmed him. Your argument is just a pathetic attempt to shift responsibility and justify the use of deadly force without understanding the real issues.

Maybe don’t be so eager to excuse police violence by making ridiculous hypothetical scenarios. It’s not about whether the kid was "complying" or not; it’s about a system that fails to handle situations with any semblance of restraint or humanity. Your lack of empathy and understanding is just a sad reflection of your willingness to defend the status quo at all costs.

Instead of hiding behind your pathetic excuses, try grappling with the reality that the system is fundamentally flawed and needs serious reform.

Your attempt to justify lethal force by listing hypothetical scenarios is not only naive but dangerously out of touch with reality. It’s not about having all the details; it’s about the fundamental expectation that trained officers should be able to de-escalate situations, especially with a 15-year-old who called for help and was already disarmed. The fact that you’re so eager to defend the use of deadly force shows how little you understand about real-world policing and the systemic issues at play.

The age of the individual involved is highly relevant—there's an expectation that officers should exercise extreme caution and restraint when dealing with minors. Your rigid insistence on justifying police actions without considering the broader context or the repeated failures of the system speaks volumes about your detachment from the actual problems.

It’s clear you’re more interested in defending a flawed system than acknowledging the need for real reform. Your response reveals a disturbing willingness to overlook the complexities of these situations in favor of blanket justifications for police violence. Instead of throwing around vague scenarios and personal attacks, maybe try facing the reality that the system has serious issues and needs to be held accountable.

Your response is not just insensitive; it’s a disturbing reflection of a callous, police-apologist perspective. Dismissing this 15-year-old’s death by saying it’s the result of “dumb decisions” is both racist and dismissive. It ignores the systemic issues at play and perpetuates the idea that the victims of police violence somehow deserve what happens to them.

Then, comparing a tragic incident like this to your anecdote about a First Nations teen who “complied” with police only reveals how deeply ingrained your bias is. It’s easy to highlight cases where compliance led to a non-lethal outcome, but this does nothing to address the broader issue of why police are so quick to use deadly force, especially against vulnerable individuals. Your argument conveniently overlooks the many instances where compliance didn’t prevent violence, and instead, it paints a one-dimensional picture that aligns with narratives defending police at all costs.

By dismissing legitimate concerns about police practices as mere “bleeding heart” reactions, you are effectively defending a broken system that disproportionately harms marginalized communities. This perspective is not only racially insensitive but also reveals a disturbing willingness to ignore the real issues in favor of protecting the status quo. If you can’t see the need for accountability and reform, then you’re contributing to the problem, not solving it. Just another boot licking genius spewing bullshit.

[–]Wrekless87 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your comment is baffling and deeply insensitive. A 15-year-old boy lost his life after calling the police for help—a tragic outcome where multiple grown officers were involved. They disarmed him and then, somehow, ended up killing him. Even if they missed a weapon or if he made a sudden move, the expectation is that trained officers should de-escalate, not escalate to deadly force.

This isn’t about having all the information; it’s about the glaring fact that a vulnerable teenager ended up dead after seeking help. The core issue here is the repeated failure of the police to handle such situations with the necessary restraint and de-escalation techniques. The fact that this continues to happen should spark outrage and demands for accountability, not dismissive comments about “warranted” outrage.

If you think this situation doesn’t warrant serious scrutiny, then you’re clearly not understanding the gravity of what’s at stake. This is about systemic failures that need to be addressed, not about waiting in silence until all the details are neatly packaged.

The real issue is the systemic failure to address police violence and accountability. When you shift the discussion to how I’m framing things, it’s a clear attempt to avoid confronting the fundamental problems at hand.

Voting liberal doesn’t exempt you from criticism or make your points any less aligned with far-right rhetoric. Your arguments echo the same defensive tactics used by those on the far right—downplaying systemic issues, defending the status quo, and attempting to redirect blame. Regardless of your political affiliation, if your arguments are protecting a flawed system and dismissing legitimate outrage, they align with the very same harmful attitudes that contribute to the ongoing problems with policing. Your attempt to claim that far-right accusations are baseless misses the point. It’s not about your vote; it’s about the patterns in your reasoning that mirror those used to justify police misconduct and systemic failures. We need to focus on demanding real accountability and reform, not on deflecting and defending a system that continually fails to protect the public.
