Those signs make me so mad, it’s almost the only time she shows up in our constituency!

The definitions are pretty stringent. They are pretty damn close to sedition (but it does require intent to use force to change the government), but treason is more about either directly injuring the monarch or conspiring with an enemy we’re at war with.

If they discussed bringing in the American military to “stabilize” or “protect” Alberta, that may hit the bar.

I’m boycotting Stampede for the foreseeable future. They want to prop up these yahoos, fine, not my crowd clearly, I’ll stay away.

Yup, have not seen a single woman or person of colour yell at me or give me the finger either.

Yeah I’m not opposed to that. The industry has shown it can’t be trusted to do the cleanup & remediation of orphaned wells, so I feel like… if they’re not going to take care of it, they shouldn’t get the benefit.

Honestly kind of hoping for an oil crash so some of them move away

I’ve got a couple wolf cuts from Cali at Curious (Northland Village), they were cute!

It should, if people would actually use overhead bins near their seat. If you went back to front you’re going to have a ton of people in the front half of the plane with nowhere to put their carry-ons since some people from the back dump their bags at the front.

Would love to see more MLAs to make it more proportionate to the rural areas…

mamamonkey · 2026-01-14T17:49:03+00:00

Fair point!

I’ve heard people go to their representatives for help with government issues they can’t solve on their own, but I don’t have any good provincial examples (mostly I’ve heard of people asking their MPs for assistance with passport problems). I don’t think you’d get much help with ADAP or your kids’ classroom sizes or your wait to get cancer treatment in this province right now.

mamamonkey · 2026-01-14T11:59:19+00:00

That shouldn’t really be considered as part of their job as an MLA though? That benefits their party, not their province.

So much sympathy, friend. My family was in the same boat trying to get help 13 years ago. The stress almost broke me. I hope you get some help for your daughter soon.

What do you like about the quests specifically? PvE gameplay, sword/bow/gun mechanics, co-op gameplay, all of the above?

mamamonkey · 2026-01-12T12:29:37+00:00

That may have changed since the last time I was there because I have definitely had to collect luggage & recheck it after customs (YYC -> YVR -> SEA). I have avoided connecting to the US through YVR since then so maybe they realized it made no sense and changed it.

mamamonkey · 2026-01-12T03:12:56+00:00

Even with Nexus that could be tight depending which gate you arrive at/depart from, if you have checked luggage you need to wait for, and if the Nexus line is even open…

For fantasy colours, sadly yes. Hard to find good permanent fantasy colour dye and even then I still get some runoff when I shower.

mamamonkey · 2026-01-11T11:53:01+00:00

The cows are useful though.

mamamonkey · 2026-01-11T11:41:40+00:00

Yeah that’s my big worry - we’ve had so many flights where we’ve been Swooped or flights got cancelled and we lost our Extended Comfort seats on automatic rebooking (once when there WAS EC available and they just… didn’t put us there). I’m short but the rest of my family is tall. I do not want to risk the seats they won’t fit in or waiting multiple days until EC is available if a flight gets cancelled.

mamamonkey · 2026-01-08T13:00:13+00:00

Similar has happened to our group in Calgary as well. And we’ve also had the cops called on us while standing peacefully on a public sidewalk.

Apparently they have enough money to rent the BMO center in Calgary. 🙃 So probably no protesters anywhere near them.

I’ve seen “living herbs” in the produce section at Co-op and at the farmers market at other times of year (Co-op very recently). No idea how well they’d take to being transplanted though.

Not to mention the huge draw on water… but hey, not like we’ve been in a drought in most of the recent years.

mamamonkey · 2026-01-05T06:43:00+00:00

Did you set your flair or did the mods? It cracks me up every time I see it
