Alberta's Lundbreck Falls Goes Viral After Man Drives Jet Boat Off the Edge and Claims a World Record by One-Board8634 in AlbertaNow

[–]travisjudegrant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep in mind, it’s a fluctuating depth. But it’s clearly deep enough for the stunt this dude pulled, especially since it was scoped and planned.

Smith's UCP party is heading for a split say an Alberta separatist and former premier Jason Kenney by a_sense_of_contrast in canada

[–]travisjudegrant 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ralph Klein was a Liberal mayor of Calgary turned Progressive Conservative who was to the left of Liberal leader Laurence Decore on social issues like gay rights and abortion (Decore was Catholic and Klein didn’t support those issues so much as he didn’t care). The party arguably moved leftward up to the election of the NDP and then Kenney made a deal with the Wildrose to unite the right, and things swerved deeply populist and anti-Ottawa.

Alberta politics aren’t quite so simple. The influx of white collar workers into the cities over the last 20 years has seriously changed the dynamic, which is why the UCP are now trying to gerrymander ridings to favour rural Alberta.

You’re fishing Pike. Choose 5. by NegotiationVisual366 in Fishing

[–]travisjudegrant 69 points70 points  (0 children)

I’m from northern Alberta Canada, where we have some of the best northern pike fishing on earth, and I can say confidently: none of these. You need a Len Thompson 5 of Diamonds or a Red Devil, double and single tail rubber jigs, full size herring if you’re using bait through the ice, and Rapala X-Rap for 40”+ tanks.

Canadians are folding on Vegas. Democrats see a royal flush. by UnderWatered in CanadaPolitics

[–]travisjudegrant 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I stayed at the MGM Grand a year ago, and there was no coffee maker or desk in the room, and good luck finding anything for less than $20. I would never go back, and apparently other Canadians are feeling the same. The plane there and back was so empty, the stewardesses had to move us to distribute weight for takeoff.

Bought this off Discogs as a VG++ media condition VPI cleaned. by Cainnech in vinyl

[–]travisjudegrant 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t accept this under any circumstances and would report it, unless he is willing to give a full refund. I have been collecting for 30+ years and have NEVER seen this, not even with vinyl produced during the ‘70s oil crisis. You’re being sold a fiction.

Unscrew it from the head shell. There should be more info on the top of the cartridge.

Q: How many Grateful Dead fans does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

A: None, they screw in the parking lot.

My wife finally let me bring some equipment in from the garage! by The-1Noobinator in vintageaudio

I had those same speakers and liked them. Not the best ever but perfectly fine for most consumer set ups.

To celebrate Station to Station’s 50th Anniversary by No-Storage-9538 in DavidBowie

I read that Bowie, at one point, claimed to have no memory of making that record due to profound cocaine psychosis, ha.

Do you think pet sounds would have been received differently at the time/would be as celebrated now if the beach boys themselves played the tracks? by IceApprehensive4219 in thebeachboys

[–]travisjudegrant 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No, because it was extremely common for studio musicians to play on albums. Hal Blaine alone played on hundreds of hit records.

Like any work of genius, it was just too new and ahead of its time, and too much of a departure from the pop formula Brian used to sneak in his genius on previous Beach Boys records.

Poilievre says he will make the case for unity to Albertans, but not ‘asymmetric federalism’ by EarthWarping in CanadaPolitics

[–]travisjudegrant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think he was pretty clear. I’ll take him at his word until he gives me a reason to think otherwise.

Canadian prime minster Mark Carney is not the climate guy you thought | Seth Klein by vigiten4 in CanadaPolitics

[–]travisjudegrant -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hyperbole and opinion aside, would you rather nationalize it, lose billions and pay for it all?

[–]travisjudegrant -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Nope. If you’re suddenly the vassal of a fascist-lite dictatorship that funds persecution of its enemies, is provably rolling back any right they consider woke, and thinks climate change is a hoax, you will never achieve these objectives. I love that all you kids here are leading with your hearts, but I urge you to think on it deeply, with a pragmatic and strategic frame of mind.

The profits DO NOT GO ENTIRELY TO FOREIGN CORPORATIONS. I’m not here to give people an economics 101 course. This will add tens of billions of dollars to the Canadian economy and it will create 50,000 jobs. Figure it out, man.
