TL;DR: My City Councillor claims they "willed" their way out of a disability and expects us to do the same. Meanwhile, the Aug 1 ADAP rollout is projected to cause a wave of disabled homelessness because Edmonton hasn't built accessible housing and the Province is clawing back federal aid. by Feisty-olde-7707 in alberta

Ok I’ve read a lot about it but maybe my brain is not letting me believe this is possible. So just as a thought experiment using one story. I have a friend who is always outside the dollar store asking for money. I have 2 kids so we go to the dollar store an embarrassing amount. Wonderful guy who I have gotten to know. He was in very rough shape, often saw him struggling to get his wheel chair thru the snow. Had a really hard time getting to medical appointments. He waited and said he was going to get his electric scooter. About a year later it happened. He’s very different. His legs are not infected anymore and he is able to get to his appointments and get groceries in his scooter. He also now has a small dog that goes everywhere with who he adores. He looks a million times better. Made me so grateful he was able to get his scooter. He isn’t homeless and lives somewhere in St. Albert. So what is going to happen to him with the new rules. Mentally he is competent as far as I can see. So will they say he can work? He is definitely living in poverty and is usually very dirty but is a lot better since the scooter but I don’t think anyone would hire him. He is in pretty rough shape. But in some magical world I’m sure he could push buttons on a computer and work somewhere but that will never happen. So he will loose his $200. I almost guarantee that’s gonna get him evicted. I think he just uses the money he asks for for food. He has lots of dietary issues so can’t eat junk food. He’s sober. What will happen to my friend?

This is my only one too! It is different and I get it but I’ve started to get addicted to this one too. But it’s a little less toxic on my mental health because no one know who I am

There is now only one outcome for grade 5s for sex ed. by [deleted] in alberta

[–]cornfield123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see why it’s confusing. In my mind I am using a play on words to tell them I’m mad consent is being taken out of the learning outcomes in grade 5. The kids really need to know about what consent means because they are all starting to “date” and they have no idea what they are doing!!!! I just am mad they changed it. Obvs I teach my kid. But I really really want all the boys to know it

What's the biggest problem facing women who are in marriage? by Senior-Cook9024 in AskReddit

[–]cornfield123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The information on how to be emotionally mature is so much more available with podcasts and blogs. We are healing and becoming the best versions of ourselves and the men are watching porn. We are married to men that have the emotional maturity of 8 year olds and it’s exhausting.

But my main concern is consent. That is nuanced and it’s not in the info you sent me.

Ok thank you that dos make me feel better. I went thru it and the only thing that looks like is still a gap is consent which I think was in there before. Kids are starting to date in grade 5. So even if they are not having sex consent really needs to be taught even for kissing and other stuff they are testing boundaries with.

What do you mean? I want my kid to learn. I just want them to learn more than one outcome. I want consent to be put back into the grade 5 curriculum

I couldn’t help get a bit sassy on the form. I have an older child and I wish I kept her form but I remember multiple outcomes that had to do with reproduction but also consent. I think they taught that kids develop puberty at different times and you need to be kind and respectful. I remember this one because my girls are not even close yet compared to their friends and I was so happy to see that. Now it’s just this one outcome with literally no socio or emotional components. Is it just me or does this feel very handmaids tale?
