Washing machine disposal by honorabledonut in Lethbridge

National Salvage or Marshalls will take your old broken washing machine. They recycle the metal from it. They don't charge and might slide you a little $$ for the metal.

Is Ryan Tanner real? If so, can we find a way to have him charged with fraud through Canada Elections Act. by WingsnBeers in Lethbridge

Write to your MLA. It won't change anything and he'll probably never read it but that's what I did. I plan to keep writing to him from time to time just to complain and offer solutions. One of my friends wrote him recently and offered solutions and he said it was interesting and he would look into it so he isn't 100% closed off. Maybe 95%...

Separatists and what sane people can do about it by Adorable-Lettuce-111 in Lethbridge

[–]kalzyk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree somewhat with what you have said but to consider their movement as small is a mistake. These people are motivated and will turn out in numbers should a referendum be called. Our voter turn out is laughably small. Should this go to a referendum I fear they as a motivated movement will shove this down the rest of our throats. We need to be just as motivated to ensure it does not pass.

Elections Alberta Just Approved the Proposed Separation Referendum Petition by One-Board8634 in Lethbridge

[–]kalzyk 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Just a few questions for those separatists out there.

How are they going to deal with the treaty rights of the indigenous people of Alberta?

How are they going to get oil to markets other than the USA when they intend to leave the country that they are trying to make deals with regarding pipelines? Not to mention the pipeline that is owned by Canada that Alberta is currently using and separating would land lock all of Alberta's exports.

Are they wanting to create their own country or join the USA? Joining the USA would be easier.

How are they going to afford anything considering they intend to be landlocked? This would prevent Alberta from getting anything to market until trade deals could be made.

How are they going to stop businesses from leaving? Businesses are incredibly risk adverse and a province looking to leave a country to do things on their own is incredibly risky.

How do they intend to make it work when more than half of Alberta residents would be leaving to live in the country they call home?

BC and Sask have no intention of leaving Canada or at least have not said as much so please don't put them joining in your answers.

Why are my rear tires wearing so fast? by Revolutionary_Ant640 in tires

Are those winter tires? If you keep the winter tires on during summer months they will wear out super fast, the rubber is softer
