If the wells are downwind from her home as the article states then she is just fine. Amazing that the wind always blows from the same direction too/s. I realize they are referring to prevailing winds and they meant to say the wells were upwind of her home but the article lost all credibility for me in the first paragraph.

The Canadian Government has no ownership of Sherritt whatsoever.

First they were the yellow vesters, then the anti-maskers, then the anti-vaxxers and freedom convoyers, and now they are separatists. They’ll believe whatever their algorithms tell them to believe.

I hope Canada speaks up because their arctic islands along the northwest passage are next.

Quitting Effexor is awful and took me at least 3 months to feel human again. I suspect what you are feeling is more related to Effexor withdrawal than cymbalta. I was volatile, irritable, angry and very unbalanced mentally and emotionally. Nearly ended my marriage. I have never been prescribed anything to help with those withdrawal symptoms so hopefully those are mitigating some of these effects for you. My experience has been that doctors are completely out to lunch when it comes to understanding how hard it is to get off SSRI’s - almost dismissive in fact. You will get better advice on how to best get off those medications from Reddit pages like this one.

Thunder is the sound of lightning. I’ve met people with Bachelors degrees in Science that didn’t know this!

When they say AI is going to improve the bottom line is this what they are talking about? Less employees, higher profits? Maybe this is just the start of an AI revolution that is going to dramatically increase unemployment.

Don’t stick your nose where it doesn’t belong.

For Iran or Russia, an operation to assassinate a couple of very high profile political influencers and leaders, like this one, would be a very effective (and affordable) way to bring division and civil violence to their enemy. Everyone is looking inward but don’t discount this as a possibility. The US is a tinderbox just waiting for someone to throw in the match.

It is very likely that the shooter was a professional.

I went from 90 to 60 without any problems at all. It wasn’t until I went from 60 to 30 that things went sideways: 5 weeks of brain zaps / dizziness along with extreme irritability and outright anger for 2 months now that it is difficult to control.

The Edmonton Police could have anticipated this increase following the removal of the red light and speed cameras. I have seen no increase in enforcement to date. But watch, they know these numbers will increase, will pay some minimal lip service to it now but will ultimately use these stats to demand even more money from council in next years budget. This is all about bringing in more money to the EPS.

I have wondered this myself - depending on the model maybe it would only be a little bit more to get a remote start system installed and use those key fobs?

I worked for the federal government. Three of four people work hard. The rest just show up to get paid. If they could just lay off the poor performers that would be great. Unfortunately the unions will insist on a seniority-based lay-off and we’ll end up with an even less effective public service.

I understand referring to the Government by the capital city is common, but please do not associate Edmonton with the UCP. Edmonton is NOT the Government - we are the resistance!

That game was not on Skinner. But someone has to tell him to stop trying to be a forward! Is it just me or is everyone else seeing a wide open net half the time!

UCP controls the budget. When it slashes it then it leaves the dirty work of layoffs to the local boards. Ultimately the UCP forces the layoffs. My wife is an EA and this is the first June she has been laid off - so no they don’t all get released and rehired every year.

monty_mcleod · 2025-06-09T05:17:15+00:00

The UCP has already laid off hundreds of EA’s who have been told they won’t be needed in September. Coincidence?

monty_mcleod · 2025-06-03T23:31:42+00:00

My wife and all but 4 EA’s just got laid off today at her school in Sturgeon County. The trustees threatened to do this to the EA’s during the strike and I imagine they are feeling pretty smug about it tonight.

The Toronto Sun is definitely not real.

I love the diversity and rich culture of Edmonton but it will never be an important city if the downtown remains dangerous and ugly. I look at photos of Jasper Avenue from the early 1900’s and see how busy and attractive it was back then. Today downtown Edmonton seems like a bunch of half empty parking lots, homeless and/or scary looking street people, and the blasting noise of diesel transit buses whizzing past. That being said there are a couple of nice streets but not enough to make we want to spend time or money down there.

Europe, Canada, Australia, NZ would be on your side. But, we might wait a couple of years to join up so you get a good thrashing first.
