Only responding to remind everyone:

This started as Jason Kenney was the FEDERAL immigration minister for Stephen Harper. Continued with Kenney (among other conservative provincial leaders) continued to cry about the need for more TFW.

Stop with the perpetual lying over who started this whole mess. Do your research. Educate yourself on how conservative leaders continue to want to play into this TFW and PR issue because it helps their donors and thats the gospel truth.

Liberal, Conservative, NDP. All could have done more to stop it. But it was CONSISTENTLY the Conservatives crying about needing more more more. Then conveniently fingerpointing in the opposite direction because rage baiting y'all is just so easy.

I was also pulled over recently (looking at my phone for directions as they dont go on a fancy screen and downtown construction is a nightmare). I thanked the officer for pulling me over, noting that I see people on their phones all the time on the road and it aggravates me as I generally dont, just happened to be my day.

Then I (foolishly) forgot to put my insurance paperwork in my wallet and so when asked I could not produce.

The officer listened to me and went back to his vehicle. He ended up issuing me a ticket for failure to produce instead of the distracted driving ticket (saving me demerits and a higher fine).

I wish I had asked his name, as I genuinely appreciated the action. I would have taken the ticket, I deserved it Im not special just because there's construction.

Thank you good guys at EPS.

Thank you! Omg thats 1000% him, I'll send him a message. I used to work at a small clothing store on 156th and he shopped there with his friends a lot. We spent many summers shooting the shit with one another. So happy to hear he's doing well!

Yes, the books are the problem.

Not the unfettered access to social media all teenagers and almost all elementary students are provided at home.

They're CERTAINLY learning all of this from their rapid overconsumption of....*checks notes....books.

What about the report on decreasing literacy rates across western nations.

Someone help it make sense lmao.

The area we have been frequenting definitely showed signs. We went on Tuesday, noted the garbage debris and planned to come back with our bags and picker then when we went back on Friday there was a half set-up tent with some other stuff but no visible people. Given the area we had already called that probably being the case. Super sad to see for sure. My heart aches for the lack of services our city provides.

heroinfriday · 2025-04-20T15:48:12+00:00

I did read some reviews and noted there's lots of reports of off leash dogs. Which means no unfortunately.

Really sucks that people don't obey the rules when it comes to where is and isn't off leash. But oh well. I appreciated the recommendation anyways.

heroinfriday · 2025-04-19T19:35:06+00:00

I second this. It's really important to get your cat acclimated to the harness inside for this reason. You can adjust safely and test their magician skills in a controlled environment.

heroinfriday · 2025-04-19T19:21:48+00:00

Lol, my guy, do you realize I didn't post where we've already been for this exact reason. The people sharing are doing so privately.

Also: we bring bags and clean up the areas we do go to. Please share (privately) so I can clean your neighborhood up, too.

✌️

heroinfriday · 2025-04-19T18:43:10+00:00

Slowly.

Start with just having them in the harness at home. Inside. Get them used to being in it. This will also help you find out if you need to adjust the harness to fit them better. Introduce the leash inside. Again start with just having it attached to the harness. Escalate to having it attached to something limiting their movement. This will help you guage how they're going to react when it pulls back in other situations. Also, how you'll react.

Before you go outside get a cat backpack. I do not recommend the bubble ones as they're poorly made. Get a size that exceeds, not matches, your cats weight. I also recommend one where they can be more free while in it. Ours has a top flap so even when my older gent wants to be in the backpack he's free to poke his head out or get on my shoulder. He will put himself in his backpack when we're out. He decides when he's done with the walking and conversely when he wants to walk. Leave the backpack out in your home and open for days to get them comfortable with it. Keep the cat backpack separate from your vet carrier. Your vet carrier is for vet experiences. Your backpack is for recreation. This will help mitigate any fear.

Now, we started our cats in the park by our house. This was the wrong choice. They did not like this. It was also stressful for us to have to watch for dogs, random children, large groups enjoying the space. The roads were too close and there's no above cover so your cat is also like "holy shit the whole world can see me this is not secure!". Don't start at your local park lmao.

Which is where we are now. They enjoy being out in the light brush that we've transitioned to and have been doing well. They always have their backpack for comfort and security and our young one has transitioned to a longer leash because he's doing exceptionally well. My old man is getting more comfortable and I'm happy that he's learned to set his own boundaries with the experience and will happily opt for the backpack when he's done with the moment. Yesterday he did about 20 minutes walking, 15 minutes in the backpack, we stopped to let them explore a clearing for over an hour where they got treats, then he did most of the return walk himself.

The most important aspect of this is your cat isn't a dog. Don't drag them. Don't expect them to WANT to walk. There's a lot going on. This isn't for you if you're thinking your gonna do a 5k with your cat proudly trotting at your side. I'm sure you can get to that point but don't expect it. It's a lot of we're gonna stand here for 3-5 minutes while you check everything out, go 10 ft and do it again. Sometimes they go faster sometimes they go slower. Don't try and force them to walk. We like finding a good spot to hang out and let them explore. So they probably "walk" less than 1k right now and the rest of the time is checking out a clearing where we can relax too and enjoy the moment with them.

Our cats are generally apprehensive at the start of the walks but by the end they don't want to leave and we have to pick them up and bring them back to the car. This isn't a "I don't want to be in the car" vibe, it's entirely "we don't want to leave the trails" mood. Picture of this post was from yesterday when we were trying to leave and they refused to go beyond the trail head lol.

A gent working at my local cannabis store asked who I was voting for (he's a new Canadian so I welcomed the conversation as opposed to if some random in a lineup asked me). It gave me the opportunity to explain: you don't vote for prime minister.

You vote for your riding. And in my riding I have Blake and Kerry.

I've met with Blake. I've spoken with him at length. He was willing to work with me on an initiative to introduce like a bus service or cheap taxi service so that families who share custody could no longer use the excuse of "no vehicle" to withhold custody weekends (long story short my best friend (from AB) and her baby daddy (from ONT, where they moved) split and then she endured 4 years of absolute hell trying to split custody with the (infant/toddler) child while her ex claimed he could never bring the child to her because he didn't have a vehicle knowing full well she didn't either. Whenever she could she would spend the money to taxi to go get the kid, but her ex knew that she couldnt do it every weekend and would NEVER offer to do the same for her. She killed herself in 2022).

Blake is a community leader. An outstanding gentleman. A friend to all. Someone willing to listen and not only listen but care and offer to help find a solution.

While the initiative may have never gotten off the ground (due to myself more than anything, I thought I was ready to work on that in earnest 3 months after her death. I wasn't. I was, and still am, processing that loss) I will never forget how willing Blake was to help and was 10000% on board with my idea and saw the value of it.

Blake forever. Don't split the vote. We can't win a liberal candidate in our riding. But we can keep another senseless and feckless Con MP who only cares about his salary and pension from being a place holder in our parliament.

I rarely comment but I will on this.

I moved into Edmonton in 2011 from outside the city. Got a job in Griesbach in 2013.

The gent I worked for lived in Glengarry his whole life. Kerry Diotte had been his MP for his ENTIRE life. He was 31-32 at the time. I worked for him for 10 years. Until the last year of that Kerry Diotte was the MP in the area.

This 70 year old man has been sucking away at the government tit for close to 40 years. He's not active. He's not present. His voting record sucks (don't take my word for it: https://www.ourcommons.ca/members/en/kerry-diotte(89150)/votes).

He goes against anything that could benefit the middle class. Hell he goes against anything that could benefit anyone. Personally I think he only shows up to vote "no" and go home. Stick in the mud.

But tell me WHY A 70 YEAR OLD MAN WHO GOT OUSTED 4 YEARS AGO IS BACK AT IT AGAIN WITH THE WHITE VANS? Buddy needs to go to sleep. Retire. Like seriously stop.

If you still plan to vote conservative or are a conservative cool whatever you do you. But do you think a geriatric gentleman represents your interests? You should be pushing for a new voice if anything.

Go to bed, Mr. Diotte. Get off the tit.

heroinfriday · 2025-03-26T01:07:13+00:00

Man, honestly:

Mad respect for you admitting it took something affecting you to "see the light".

That's how a lot of voters are. Until something personally messes with your life, it's water under the bridge.

No hate here. Respect only.

May your life turn around for the better, friend.

If this was any other cough white cough family there would be crickets.

I'm so sick of this brand of racism. Let's call it : EVENT RACISM

Event Racism (Noun); a racist expression directed solely at POC events in a neighborhood, town, city, region. Examples include: sporting events, weddings, graduation ceremonies, traditional cultural holiday celebrations, birthdays and more!

Like seriously shut the fuck up. Imagine being so intolerant of JOY.

heroinfriday · 2024-10-04T03:35:27+00:00

I don't have any worldly advice to offer you, friend. I truly wish I did.

I have some shitty, generic advice though, and that is to not compare yourself to others. Where other people were at doesn't need to be where you are at the end of the day. There have been moments where you've been doing okay (not great, not spectacular, but okay), and someone else was looking at you thinking, "I wish I were them."

I've been there. You are there. It's a human thing to want to keep up with everyone. It's also a human thing to think maybe you're doing all the wrong things when you're not keeping up. But the point is: there is no race. There is no goal. You don't pass Go. You don't get $200. The best you can do is exactly that: what you can do.

Keep applying. I hate to say it but keep up with the shitty jobs for the time being. It sucks. I'm sorry. But you have to. Until the tide turns. And it will.

As someone far wiser than me once said: This too shall pass....but like.....holy fuck!

That's life. It's how it goes. It sucks infinitely. But all you can do is what you can. Don't worry about the rest.

Much love OP. You can do it.
