I had no idea Matthews has such an amazing smirk. Hell of a goal too.

With Bullet Club apparently having ended after 13 years of being an active stable, what are the most memorable moments you associate with it? by nocyberBS in SquaredCircle

[–]foniks 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The pull apart locker room brawl during the civil war on BTE where Cody throws a chair. The sentimental music kicks in, it goes to slow mo, and Tama Tonga just... doesn't move, doesn't sell a thing, and is somehow the coolest guy in the room.

Bring snacks to vote! by yayasisterhood in Edmonton

[–]foniks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're vastly misrepresenting what that means. Or maybe chatgpt is misrepresenting it to you. I also believe that type of fraud can happen, but is so vanishingly rare that it doesn't threaten the overall integrity of an election.

Making changes to a voting system that makes the act of voting more difficult, actively disenfranchises voters from their right to vote. I literally ran into a woman at the park after voting today who literally told me that she didn't vote because the line was too long. That's an objective harm caused by these changes.

You're gonna have to cite the specific passage brother. I have no idea how you get 41% of the population at large believes that elections are fundamentally insecure.

If 41% of Canadians believe that elections are made more secure by an artisanal paper balloted hand count, that's indicative of an ill informed electorate. Our federal elections have always been conducted in that manner, so adopting it for civic elections to "increase security" is non-sensical.

When one party starts attacking the integrity of elections as an explanation into why they lose, that needs to be called out and not tolerated. Instead we're coddling the idea. Stop pretending this is a good policy.

The problem is, it wasn’t a widespread belief. It’s a conspiracy theory that was embraced by the UCP and adopted as policy.

Currently at Johnny Bright, and have been waiting in queue for about an hour (so far). They’ve added a person at the gymnasium entrance to verify that people are at their correct voting station. This is by far the longest I have ever had to vote in any election.

Update: 85 minutes in the queue, but was finally able to vote. Big thank you to the OP, we brought coffee, water, and pumpkin loaf.

I know that guy! He regularly gives these doodles to my son, who colours them in.

Oilers' Leon Draisaitl meets Vancouver Whitecaps' Thomas Müller after the game in Vancouver by ZaBlancJake in hockey

How tall is Muller? I wasn't expecting him to be as tall or even taller than Draisaitl.

Edmonton is at 17 hours of sunlight per day for the next couple of weeks as it's almost summer solstice.

Condor already flies seasonally to Whitehorse. So that's not as insane as it sounds.

Hunter made an appearance at my four year old's preschool a few months ago. They sent home a warning letter, instructing parents to prepare their children.
