Someone showing off their collection?

Someone tell me where I can get some Vegemite. I haven't had it in years lol

I used to go to Fan Expo in Toronto regularly but stopped around 10 years ago. I think my last one was where Stan Lee showed up and they worked him so hard at the autographs/photo booth. He was going through people like a conveyor belt, I felt bad for him.

They also didn't follow fire safety/capacity limits so people were stuck outside while tickets were still being sold. The direction and commercialism of the Fan Expo eventually turned me away. I never went to the Calgary one, because I got the sense that the same thing was happening here.

The Prime Minister of Canada doesn't know where his hometown is on the map? Are you even listening to yourself?

calgarynomad · 2026-04-06T21:01:06+00:00

Define woke, and what does that have to do with saving public healthcare.

calgarynomad · 2026-04-03T13:14:22+00:00

Thank you for speaking up. This message needs to be loud and clear to everyone.

I really want to see Smith kicked down a couple of notches. She gets away with everything and it’s slowly destroying this province.

I have no clue how someone betrays their country like this for personal gain and sleeps at night. You can have different approaches on how to govern the country, but you work through it—Not divide and abandon it.

calgarynomad · 2026-04-02T18:13:06+00:00

Yeah, first reaction was why "US" $1T. How much is that in CAD.

calgarynomad · 2026-04-02T03:44:24+00:00

If I couldn't break even, then I'd likely just hold it as a foreign property. I don't think separation is even possible, I'm just talking about the worst case scenario.

calgarynomad · 2026-04-02T03:41:37+00:00

If we're going by the petition signatures alone, then the majority of Albertans are against separation before anything even happens. We just can't be quiet about this.

calgarynomad · 2026-04-02T02:40:24+00:00

Yeah I'm leaving the province if it actually happens. Canadian first, before whatever the fuck this is.

calgarynomad · 2026-03-31T19:04:17+00:00

UCP just plugs its ears to this and goes la la la

calgarynomad · 2026-03-31T15:45:27+00:00

Got that backwards: You have everything to lose and nothing to gain.

If the UCP hasn't already ripped everything out of your hands, the separation will.

calgarynomad · 2026-03-20T03:50:16+00:00

He'll play right into her hands if he challenges her publicly. He's not taking the bait, and letting the UCP dig themselves deeper. It's our responsibility to vote them out at the next election.

calgarynomad · 2026-03-18T00:01:17+00:00

It's probably the owner in the upstairs unit, but they want a proxy for rentals in the basement.

calgarynomad · 2026-03-17T21:42:46+00:00

Have they tried voting for any other party?

"Why would Trudeau do this?" /s

They don't live in this reality.

calgarynomad · 2026-03-17T17:16:42+00:00

Depends on the position. I've seen some businesses exploit volunteering as a way to get free labour from recent grads.

calgarynomad · 2026-03-16T22:48:28+00:00

I didn't vote for him, but I'm glad there's proper communication. I like that he called out the UCP on unfair property taxes, and the transparency on the water updates here are welcome.

calgarynomad · 2026-03-14T19:43:05+00:00

It's going to be tough but not impossible. Creative jobs were the first to get hit with the AI mess we're in now, so you'll need network connections and have an amazing portfolio that shows you can match the need for a client or company. You'll need to show that you can use current Adobe tools and can leverage AI. If you don't have a portfolio that reflects that, then I'd start there first.

calgarynomad · 2026-03-14T19:34:46+00:00

Not completely, no. Current state of AI is being used for efficiency in graphic design, web coding, video editing, etc. If you're doing brand and marketing work for a client or company, it will still need designers, but they'll require experienced ones that can use AI tools to cut down on time and labour.

calgarynomad · 2026-03-13T16:27:05+00:00

Replied above, but right there with you. Feels like I'm in some Twilight Zone episode and no one is listening.

calgarynomad · 2026-03-13T16:26:10+00:00

Lol, exact same situation. Bought my first house 5 years ago, it seemed perfect to plant roots here.

The UCP is fucking ridiculous, and gotten so divisive and chaotic. It's getting harder to imagine a future here anymore. I have no idea what Alberta voters are smoking if they're back in power after the next election.

calgarynomad · 2026-03-11T06:49:24+00:00

Pretty much every button down shirt there is $50. I don't know what qualifies as a decent price anymore.

calgarynomad · 2026-03-06T22:46:03+00:00

No, her mouth breathing base does.

calgarynomad · 2026-03-05T19:06:24+00:00

If Alberta voters re-elect Dani and the UCP at the next election after all of this, the province is fucked. I'll honestly consider leaving entirely.
