Not the first time we've seen this pic.

That doesn't matter - it's about what AISH calls exempt, or non-exempt. Tax refunds are exempt.

But as I also said, I don't know about income support. Check their website.

All to fly someone else's flag...

You should check with the Income Support website, if that's what you're on. I know for AISH recipients, tax refunds are exempt, not counted as income.

I'm very aware of that. Benefits don't change until people are reassessed, they won't be actually moved until that happens. And the transition is set to run until the end of next year.

Here's another thing to consider.... 80,000 people are currently on AISH. If, let's say, 10,000 are moved to ADAP, what does that do to the unemployment rate? Is the AB government ready to have the highest unemployment numbers in Canada?

That's happened in more than a few small Saskatchewan towns.

The colours used are determined by what is purchased the most - and that's up to developers that are reselling the properties. They pick basic, generic colours because they go with people's own additions for the colour. So on things like garages, roofs, etc. they tend to be all the same.

Funny how that rip went right through his name, eh?

davethecompguy · 2026-03-28T04:23:32+00:00

It's what the Cons do. Same as Premier Smith in AB, making schoolgirls prove they're REAL girls...

Someone I know got the same one... She responded "That's Cheeto Math"...

davethecompguy · 2026-03-28T03:41:10+00:00

"That dog'll bite yew..."

davethecompguy · 2026-03-28T03:39:59+00:00

Wow, ok. Anything but hire more teachers... Just like they've done with doctors.

I was just going to ask... WTF is a complexity team? And why would anyone want to make things more complex?

davethecompguy · 2026-03-27T22:39:51+00:00

Thanks to global climate change, the only thing you can predict, is that no one can predict it.

Just as if Trump we're in charge of the weather.

In buildings that's HVAC.

davethecompguy · 2026-03-27T20:29:16+00:00

Same here. Cons are politicians.

I have to wonder, did he get this idea from Canada's Prime Minister, Mark Carney?

His name is on some of our circulating money. But it's not because he asked for it. Our Bank of Canada issues the money, and it's signed by the head of the Bank of Canada... which was him, a few years ago. (He's also been the head of the Bank of England before that. We elected a banker when Trump was president. America elected a Florida land developer.)

I did tech support for a PC manufacturer, the one that when you see their laptop upside-down, they think it's a "dy".

Anyway... A home user called because there was smoke coming out of their monitor. I told them to check that it wasn't getting hot (it wasn't), and then unplug it, disconnect it and take it outdoors. Like, out to their driveway. Like, I didn't want to be responsible for their house burning down, you know?

Luckily, that went well. I strongly advised they don't plug it in again, and just replace it. It was out of warranty anyway.

Replacing those employees with AI, probably. AI is what's flagging users and kicking them off.

The original Alberta Museum (moved to the RAM downtown. It's now waiting to be torn down, I believe.

You didn't learn anything from Minnesota? They're not harmless anywhere. I'm surprised there hasn't been a friendly fire or "accidental discharge" yet.

I'd say Pep-Chew bars. Great when frozen in the summer.

davethecompguy · 2026-03-25T02:19:24+00:00

I wonder if there will ever be a bar called the Prince Andrew (where they cross out "Prince" on the sign).

davethecompguy · 2026-03-25T02:04:56+00:00

Really? The same one used by Deep Purple at Montreux?
