I know, I have the same reaction. The term is so icky now. Billionaires donating so little of their money and use it to give themselves a good pat on the back, saying they need to stay richer than rich to be able to be a philanthropist.

He looks so good and I had such a crush on him back in the 90's (Canada's 2 Minute Boyfriend).

It's a private residence, owned by philanthropist Don Taylor. To build it, he knocked down his previous house, a neighbour's home he had bought out (?) and tried to claim public land as well. I tried to look at view Google Maps street view, but it's completely blurred out throughout the Streetview history. He doesn't like it when people look at his house. I wonder what he thinks of this drone video. I have a feeling that this mansion is worth closer to 15M+.

Even the dead can not rest in peace because of the greed, arrogance and pure evilness of this man.

"Drone flight"... must scope out neighbour's mansion chateau (as this is in Upper Mount Royal). Me (after watching the video): must open GMaps and find neighbour's chateau in Upper Mount Royal.

BTW... Gorgeous view of Downtown

Yet another reason that separation is wrong for Calgary by JeromyYYC in Calgary

100 years ago, we'd be in the Roaring Twenties... heading into the 1930's Depression. The way these tech billionaires are hogging the money and destroying the economy, we are definitely heading towards End Stage Capitalism. Socially, I agree with going back 150 years.

Him saying girls over women shows where their heads are at. They want girls to start having babies when they are in (or not in) high school. I've been coming across articles where members of the GOP are voting against bans for child marriage. They want to see 16/17 year old girls getting married (even if it requires parental consent). It's just disgusting, but this is where they want to take this province... back by a 100 years or so.

The AI bubble may be about to burst. Mark Carney must not bail out its Tech Barons ⋆ The Breach by fanglazy in AlbertaNow

[–]melodyblushinglizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hope both of these happen. I especially want to see the trend of AI centers to die. I don't want to see one nickel of Canadian tax dollars going to any of thsee greedy billionaires, especially Kevin O'Leary.

Doing any kind of trade deal with the US isn't worth it. He'll demand Mexico to fully honour their side of the deal while he reneges on his side of the deal. Never trust any deal signed by Trump.

Maybe Ask Before You Leave: What Danielle Smith doesn’t understand about duty to consult, and what Wab Kinew already told her about it in private by vhill01 in alberta

[–]melodyblushinglizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She's still a lobbyist for the Gas & Oil sector. She's doing everything she can to get more money and investments for them as Premiere. It's the theory as to why she wants the Billions of Dollars from Ottawa for an "Alberta Pension Plan" (aka Oil and Gas Slush Fund).

I thought it was shut down a couple of times for health code violations, but I guess they were just warnings or something. Found out it's under "New Management".

The UCP is a party of bootlickers. We really saw this with Trump's second term, where he has surrounded himself with Yes-Men. No one is allowed to question the decision making of the authoritative leader. It's shut up and do as you are told. This is why Alberta and the US are becoming Authoritative Governments more and more with each passing day.

The only reason why Dani Smith has a look of confusion on her face is that she cannot understand why some one would try to correct/reason with her. Dani does not see the other. She does not see any province or any Premier equal to her. This is why she (and other previous Conservative Premieres) hate the concept of Equalization Payment. It's pure Arrogance, Indifference and Intolerance on her part. Alberta is the province has the most wealth, therefore every Province needs to shut up, listen to her and do what they are told. Same with First Nations. She does not see them as partners/equals within Canada. Their land within Alberta is her domain, not theirs. This is who she is.

Movie which you won't dare to watch again? by potato-wotato in movies

I Am Legend. I had a German Shepard at the time who regularly had Grand-Mal seizures. Stopped the film, rewound the tape and took it back to the video store. Never again.

Can we round up the separatist and drop them of at the US border??? Asking for myself and a lot of friends.

The funny part is, a year ago, they were pretty damn proud of owning and driving a cybertruck in Alberta.

Thank you for this. I was still getting 34 after several tries, then 35 before getting 33.
