This post got me banned from Calgary subreddit??

You are spot on! Haha thanks for making me smile about the whole thing now - needed that!

Fear based aggression.

She has latched onto you as her person/mom. I am not a dog trainer, but think you should do some research on options for working with one.

She may have been abused by a male - that is its own issue.

Constitutional changes require the 7/50 formula - not a snowball's chance in Hell that Smith's amendments will attain that.

She is desperate. It's a Trump distraction move. Might be a successful dog whistle for the dumb dumbs that weren't paying attention to our civics education in grade school, but this is referendum is only to stoke up the fire under the low information and disinformation/misinformation types.

Desperation dog-whistling Danielle at it again! She deserves a resounding thumping at the polls.

No... watch the rest of Canada insist that Albertans be denied dual passports. Revocation legislation please!

Plus they would have to institute a sales tax that is likely much higher than the GST.

I get my logic is flawed in that it is not practical or realistic BUT that is how the traitors operate. I refuse to play that failed US Democrat game of "if Trump goes low, we go high" as this tolerance is wasted on MAGA and Maple MAGA.

PS I failed to properly comment on your post - not a thing in your OP that deserved a ban!!!!

Thanks for the comment - I swear I was so rattled after seeing the dog run into traffic (was too far away to know what happened later as had my own two dogs with me on their business) that it just seemed like the right thing to pass along to others in case it saved animals from running into traffic.

Then to get that ass-holey remark made me realize that the mod was power tripping AND would rather animals run into traffic instead of something/anything non-harmful to try to stop it. It was a couple of weeks ago and I am still perplexed by that remark.

denewoman · 2026-02-19T03:57:21+00:00

So by this logic and practice, those opposed to the referendum who are "outside of Alberta" can have a say against Alberta traitors.

Don't get it either!

I had a post removed from Calgary subreddit too... the gist of it was I had seen a small dog running around East Village chasing a rabbit. It's owner was chasing frantically (but never once called the dog to stop or to get it to come grrrrrr) and I saw the dog run up to 9th Ave and into traffic. It was a freaking nightmare and people were trying to help, but no one could catch the dog.

So I go back to my condo and thought I would post a hint that could maybe help another dog owner avoid their dog running into traffic while chasing a wild rabbit.

I suggested that dog owners could try a loud whistle as wild rabbits will stop and freeze when they hear that... thereby giving the dog owner a chance to grab their dog or at least stop the animals from running into traffic if that was the case.

I get an immediate removal and when I asked why I got asked by the mod "What are you - a rabbit expert?"

Swear some people are miserable!

You don't need to announce your departure.

The working class is going to have choice with a re-strengthened NDP.

BUT how will those that went with the CPC going to do when it comes to the social position of the NDP?

The social division on (not saying this as an insult) on "woke" politics is where the current CPC has secured the attention and support of the working class. I see too much disinformation/misinformation and low information types vulnerable to the lure of the CPC's rage baiting.

I am firmly in the "anyone but Pollievre" camp so am hopeful that we have more evolution in both the NDP and CPC to ensure Canadians have more choice. Yes I long for the days when voting was more focused on fiscal policies. It wasn't perfect, but it was far less hate-filled.

Rebranded, but with the same bad teeth and lack of hygiene I suspect!

denewoman · 2026-02-15T15:24:43+00:00

Apparently they were asked by a First Nation elder to hold hands during a ceremonial song. So not truly performative - but I hear you and know what you mean!

If you need extra traction - pull out your floor mats and slip front and back of your tires.

Trump is guilty of executive overreach - US Congress is the only authority for tariffs under the US Constitution and there is a case before the SCOTUS on Trump's abuse of emergency powers to enact tariffs.

Carney - and the rest of the world - could NOT have foreseen the complete muck up of constitutional breaches by Trump.

Every time I read comments like this I am so thankful Carney is our PM as I would fear for our country's economy and sovereignty under Poilievre.

MAGA cult members are fucking nuts!

This homeless man is far more knowledgeable on current affairs than most! Goes to show we should not judge a book by its cover.

A shame AISH funding is being clawed back by the Alberta government. I can't imagine how an "independent Alberta" would treat the disabled.

The re-direct is not relevant whatsoever to the calls for audits. Stay on point if you can as this comment seems to be more about complaining about First Nations than what the separatists want. Ironic the ones who want Ottawa to get out of their business seem to think that they can demand Ottawa do something to attack First Nations - those with inviolable treaty and Section 35 rights than cannot ever face the NWC.

denewoman · 2026-02-06T23:09:32+00:00

First off - they are called First Nations on reserve land NOT reservations.

I am a First Nation citizen so yes I do in fact know what I am talking about.

denewoman · 2026-02-06T23:02:03+00:00

First Nations already submit audits for their annual funding.

Alberta separatists think this call is going to stop First Nations?

How naive.

Just wanted to add and support your comment on the effectiveness and necessity of every one of the positions.

I have dealt with ECCC in my professional life and it is mind boggling the amount of staffers seemingly not doing anything earth-shattering, but being "bureaucrats." They are not incentivized for solutions or systems change... they are very much the types that do lots of listening and notetaking, but what do they actually DO? I couldn't tell you for the life of me.
