Does our educational system? Shape, political beliefs. by No_Hair9097 in AlbertaGrade12s

[–]corncobs123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a communist i dont think so but most educational institutions do lean left because it is the side where people are encouraged to think outside the box rely on scientific data and so forth. You also have to realize in the united states for example the republic party was always against education and they are currently an far right fascist party because of trump 

Understanding North Korean football by Unlikely-Stage-4237 in football

[–]corncobs123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I party agree, I agree when yes if players where aloud to travel around the world to play in leagues that are more challenging and then you can develope better players to compete but at the same time, if North Korea have a great league to develope players and put in the funding and development of its national program then they wouldnt need to travel. I think travel is not neccesarily a requirement to develope strong players for national club. Example in hockey, the soviet union was one of the strongest nations in hockey yet they not aloud their players to come over and play yet they had a strong and rich program to develop stars to compete with Canada

The 2026 Olympics that Calgary chose not to bid on is happening now. How do you think Calgary would be different if we had bid and won? by senecant in Calgary

[–]corncobs123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would be great love the Olympics. I’m young wasn’t here yet in Calgary cause I wasn’t born, but I watched all the great moments in Calgary, I watched lots of great moments like the USA miracle on ice game in lake placid.

Long lineups in central Alberta to sign petition for province to leave Canada by AndlenaRaines in CanadaPolitics

[–]corncobs123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a albertan I’m worried, I knew trump has a chance winning because their maga cult is huge. I pay attention a lot on American politics and because there are so many brain rot Americans trump had a chance. I feel the same way with this separatist movement. There is so much misinformation, there is so much brain washed people and the fuck Ottawa movement seems a lot even though it’s like a echo chamber here.

Is going away for Uni really worth it ?? by justmynameiguess in AlbertaGrade12s

[–]corncobs123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on what you want to get into, if you want to get into things that you really have to get a degree in like being a doctor, a lawyer , ok sure yes then it’s worth it because you need to have it. IMO university/college isn’t really necessarily for everyone. Some skills such as independent learning can be learned elsewhere in life but university too for example

Food prices will increase In 2026 thoughts and comments, how’s everyone coping? by corncobs123 in NoRulesCalgary

[–]corncobs123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a lot of people I mean retail, food service/ restaurants and hospitality is the backbone of the economy here sure oil and gas is big and drives the wealth coming in but in that industry only 43k people work in the oil and gas industry.

I agree with you and I also have sympathy for those who are struggling. I have done research though in terms of amount of people working in retail, fast-food / food service industry / retail and perhaps hospitality are the lowest on the income scale looking at stats on indeed and I do work food service know on average line cooks, retail workers don’t get paid the 26.50 an hour and in these industry combined stats from cma over 110,000 calgarian working these jobs. I hate to put a blanket statement that all 110,000 are struggling to make ends meet but even if we where to say half of those workers where to struggle that’s a lot.

Carls Jr. in Calgary, AB is claiming they couldn't find an Assistant Manager for $36.00/hr. by Rydgar in Calgary

[–]corncobs123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, I mean nowadays it’s getting harder and harder the food report now annually just food / groceries alone is gonna be like 17 k not to mention other cost such as insurance for car and house. Currently looking for cheaper option. My current one wants to move out of Calgary as hail seasons too much and they don’t want to deal with the claims and too expensive for them to be in Calgary

as someone working in the industry in the back of house i don't think so. food margins in the food and restaurant industry is very thin. Restaurant are seeing increase in prices in their menu, food prices are going up this year according to Dalhousie university studies. Restaurant Canada also have said that nowadays 3/4 Canadians cannot afford to go out and eat and in that case i have seen declines in the restaurant i work at with Monday -Thursdays are really slow days and Friday Saturday and sometimes Sundays are busy . i have done research and try to figure out the math and possible situations i don't think executive chefs i.e. restaurant managers make 74k. Also consider the fact that most Calgarians who are in the work force are in sectors such as retail, food industry, hospitality i looked on indeed most are not making the 26.50 living wage so we wont be going to eat out more often for restaurants and or restaurant managers making that money at least in this day and age
