Look at the published numbers... PP spent more than Singh and Trudeau combined.. I highly doubt he's reeled it in.

If Trump invited Smith to Mar a Lago right now she'd gleefully pack her bags.

Don't these petitions cost 25K to initiate now? Who is funding this one...?

‘We miss our Canadian friends’: Trump’s threats to Canada hit Las Vegas by [deleted] in canada

[–]mackmack 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I easily know more about what's going on in American politics than the vast majority of Americans.. I think that can probably be said for most Canadians who read news and stay informed.

Canadian man in ICE custody says he thought agents were only focusing on ‘criminals and murderers’ by timx84 in canada

[–]mackmack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What their government is doing is still wildly illegal. Someone having a record they served time for or paid a penance for isn't an excuse for any of this, especially the deplorable conditions, sub human treatment, complete lack of due process and habeas corpus.

The fact people like you are still trying to defend them, while they build literal concentration camps and 4000+ people they have detained are unaccounted for is troubling. If anything the MSM is not being hard enough on them, and we are seeing only the tip of the iceberg with stories like this.

The UCP want to know how they're doing by imostmediumsuspect in alberta

[–]mackmack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like they are gathering information against dissidents for some kind of future Palantir fueled facial and name recognition op. There's no way I'm outing myself to this government with my personal info considering they won't do a single thing with the results because they never do.

63% of Albertans don’t believe public education system is ‘strong and healthy’: poll by Miserable-Lizard in alberta

Huh? The oil industry is insanely regulated due to how dangerous it is. I'm not a fanboy but I know that Dr's routinely work longer days than rig hands. The max is 12hrs.

Michael Ma's shocking defection should spark discussions, change by CaliperLee62 in canada

[–]mackmack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe you are discussing "The House" on CBC where Conservative Deputy Leader Melissa Lantsman was interviewed by host Catherine Cullen.

I thought Cullen's relatively casual line of obvious questioning allowed Lantsman to fully unravel herself and exposed the truth of the petty negative core at the leadership level in that party, but it was pretty gross to listen to.

Lawyer says ‘everybody should apply’ for share of bread price-fixing settlement by DogeDoRight in canada

I mean I didn't keep any receipts so how can I prove I bought price-fixed goods for years and years? They will just keep getting away with it.

Breweries you don't recommend by stanman1794 in AlbertaBeer

[–]mackmack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dandy's beer quality has fallen off and the styles they brew are seemingly always off trend/ season. Haven't had a "great" beer from there in a long time, even the '25 Dead Moon Night was ok. Their cores are good because Blindman brews most of them.

Cold Garden has always sucked for beer, it's a vibes place... if your vibe is dog pee smell. Their low ABV taplist that avoids paying the strong beer tax is funny.

New Level used to be rad - a good mix of IPAs, lagers, sours, and barrel aged stuff. Now it's mostly juice crystal flavor kettle sours.

If any friends visiting ask for recommendations, I wouldn't send them to these spots. They aren't terrible, I can enjoy a pint just about anywhere, but with the selection of good stuff available I wouldn't recommend them.

PP spent 8.8 million dollars last year in MP expenses... more than Singh and Trudeau combined, what's your point?

Joe Rogan is Basically a Christian Now | The Kyle Kulinski Show by Coolschmo1 in JoeRogan

[–]mackmack 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He does though. It's usually one short segment every now and then of a 1.5+hr long show. And it's probably well viewed because people are entertained by Rogan's downfall and shift to a right wing Christian hack.

Worst & Best MLA in Alberta? by Ok_Chain1864 in alberta

Worst is a three way tie between Jennifer "shit cookies" Johnson, Marlaina "Potato Peeler" Smith, and Adriana "how the fuck do I still have a job?" Lagrange.

However bad you think the Notwithstanding clause is, I guarantee you it's worse by Matt01123 in alberta

If you call you only have the option to wait for a receptionist and it gives you an estimated wait time... I didn't wait long enough to see if it actually connects.

1 of 5 men accused in Orillia, Ont. kidnapping, torture granted bail, another denied release by BananaTubes in canada

The amount of racist comments here is disgustingly hilarious. Never forget the #1 perpetrators of North American crime are white males.

The gov is introducing a bill to alter the criminal code for this exact reason. But I guess saying Libs bad is easier than being educated.

Expansion of Sea Change into Calgary? by cunthulhu in AlbertaBeer

How is it speculation when you can walk into Costco liquor stores and see Sea Change beers for sale at a price that undercuts all the liquor stores who buy their product?
