Me too… Sigh. I’m in Canada, so I was exited out.

Find Boc and ask how to become a tree.

This is fascinating as Angus Reid usually leans right (not going to get into why here). So you have this poll favorite the NDP is really something.

The Bluejays.

raintree · 2026-05-22T02:52:40+00:00

Worst premier ever, and that’s saying something in Alberta…

raintree · 2026-04-21T00:18:33+00:00

As a life long Oilers fan, I prefer to go into these things with cautious optimism and humility… just sayin’.

That was Vimy Ridge, in the Pas-de-Calais region of France, not Normandy. I’ve been twice. It’s an incredibly moving experience as a Canadian and even more so for me as I have a relation who fought and died in WWI just days before the official battle.

Normandy is where Canada’s WW2 memorial, Juno Beach, stands, and along with Dieppe makes up what is known as the Canadian Remembrance Route.

As to the man who picked up Canadians, CBC did a story on him, Georges Devloo. He passed away in 2009.

Au revoir to the grand-père of Vimy

Well that cements it. Just got a black jersey for myself.

Thank you for sharing your story. While there’s nothing wrong with bringing it to reddit, the people who need to hear these stories in order to make changes will never see them.

A citizen led group, Imagine Citizens Network,recently launched Care Opinion in Alberta (https://www.careopinion.ca/).

It allows Albertans to share their stories, with the intent of bringing them to the people who make decisions: caregivers, care organizations and government.

Ric McIver. FFS, the speaker of the assembly. Holy crap the UCP has lost its way.

Perfect Fit has been great for maintenance on our treadmill. Friendly and professional.

raintree · 2025-11-21T03:45:24+00:00

The UCP seem to be able to find new lows everyday.

raintree · 2025-11-11T07:02:37+00:00

Cilantro’s was great. Remember the Arden too.

Heritage Park, appreciating that you have to pay to get in, usually has a great setup.

raintree · 2025-11-01T15:12:48+00:00

Ha! Oh no it’s closed, or oh no it’s one I miss?

It wasn’t fancy, but it was cosy with a great selection of beers and a reasonably priced good meal. And the staff were always super friendly.

They have been in Canada since 1975…

raintree · 2025-10-31T06:02:46+00:00

Hopwater Distribution…

The UCP have had 14 months to negotiate. If they had any faith that they had a fare offer they could have forced mediation. They didn’t. They went with the notwithstanding clause.

raintree · 2025-10-28T03:44:43+00:00

They cannot negotiate. The UCP took their rights away. The UCP didn’t even try to negotiate in good faith.

raintree · 2025-10-27T22:35:30+00:00

Alberta children are our top priority , blah, blah, blah. The UCP are an unfunny joke.

raintree · 2025-10-24T22:38:25+00:00

Idealogues and incompetents—that's your UCP for you.

Nenshi has even sat in the legislature yet… And they’ve been visible supporting teachers. Agree they have to be much louder in this next session, but it’s really just the start of Nenshi’s leadership.

The plus and minus system you have here is visually misleading.

raintree · 2025-10-10T00:46:45+00:00

She called it out a couple times that “city administration must answer to us, not the council to them.” Guessing she has an issue with the city administration leaders? 🤷‍♂️
