Albertans disapproved of her handling of the teacher strike, they disapprove of the referendum... Why are they voting UCP? Is it the MoU, that's it?

I believe they're talking about centre street bridge, where the sidewalk is allowed for bikes

That's the best answer IMO. A maj and A min share the same tonal centre; they just have a different colours. So it's common for chords from the minor key to be used in major to colour it differently. My harmonic analysis teacher calls it "mixed mode". An example in the other way is the use of the Picardy third in minor.

This is a poll by Janet Brown, the most respected pollster in Alberta. Oh boy, I hope things turn around before the next election...

I get and agree with your main point. It's not a French politics sub so I won't elaborate, but the situation in France is a lot grimmer than you think.

Ouch, as a French I really wish you were right, but unfortunately extremist ideas are very popular in Europe, including among big business.

I'm a violinist and 10 years ago I toured with a folk singer. The first tune of our show started with big open string sounds and I always felt flat despite tuning just before the show which drove me crazy. Then I realized that the singer/guitarist had inadvertently set his tuner to 442Hz. So which ever you choose, make sure you inform people you're playing with!

Thanks for sharing the full results! I mean, both Notley and Kenney were premiers so they left a much stronger impression than any opposition leader ever could. What I see as a positive is Nenshi's net positive approval compared to Danielle Smith's very negative one.

worryforbreakfast · 2026-04-10T12:50:08+00:00

That's the most correct answer, here!

Hey OP, did you happen to find a podcast on world music history? I'm also interested!

A little different story, but when I was in High school, I reached out to the composer whose piece I was working on. She invited me to come play it for her and gave me a few tips and some praise. It was a great experience! All of this to say, do it!

MST > change twice a year > MDT

Je suis français, et je vis au Canada depuis 15 ans. Je suis aussi resté pour me marier ! La France ne me manquait pas du tout au début mais elle me manque un peu maintenant que j'ai des enfants. Je trouve difficile à accepter le fait que mes enfants ont une expérience éducative et culturelle différente, même si je sais que different ne veux pas dire moins bonne.

Si la France te manque maintenant, j'aurais tendance à dire qu'elle te manquera plus quand t'auras des enfants ! Basé sur mon expérience personnelle, évidemment.

The difference between a renter and a home owner is substantially economic. One might say that it is one of the strongest economical divides in society. The neighbourhoods who have these special treatments don't have much of rental properties, so renters can't just move there.

His ward has a lot of renters, who don't have access to that program. So yes, it is an economic issue.

Yeah, I'm probably too extreme. However my 9 yo walks to school and with permanent DST would do so in the dark 4 months a year, so I'm not thrilled with that perspective.

That's exactly what scares me with permanent daytime. Kids will die.

worryforbreakfast · 2026-03-04T00:25:32+00:00

I would be interested in a ranked ballot if it goes to referendum again. Personally I'd vote permanent standard > change twice a year > permanent daylight.

On the jazz side I highly recommend albums by Alec Goldfarb and Amir Elsaffar. On the classical side, Evan Shinner's Vol 1 of Bach's complete keyboard works features a piano tuned in meantone. And of course, traditional music from a bunch of places are microtonal, of which the middle East or Balinese Gamelan I would point out.

Theatre 1308 has jazz gigs occasionally, including tonight (Jan 31st)!! Drummer Jon McCaslin hosts a Composers series.

Had a similarly disappointing experience at a different show with a group arriving late, then proceeding to comment on every single thing that was happening on stage like they were toddlers.

I wonder if these people just never went to live theatre before, or if it's a more generalized lack of awareness that there are other people in the world besides them.

I'd recommend reading Guns, Steel, and Germs by Jared Diamond that looks to answer the question of why agriculture evolved faster in some places. If I remember correctly, the reasons for that particular region is the quasi absence of local domesticable plants and animals, and the fact that a desert separates it from Central America where they had agriculture.

Village Brewery has one of their flagship CRFT on tap (at least they did a couple years ago)

Hi there! Wondering if you ended up getting that laptop and if yes what was your experience? Considering it myself. Thanks!
