One thing you missed is that part of the reason for the referendum is to distract people from the Alberta Health Services scandal.

Great episode. The referendum may be better described as 10 referendums. Many of the questions are xenophobic and are throwbacks to the head tax. I’ve worked in O&G and the amount of whining I heard daily about Ottawa and the NEP would put a daycare full of toddlers to shame.

"Vaccines work" isn't a political statement. "Immigrants do not increase crime" isn't a political statement. "Climate change is real" isn't a political statement. "Genocide is bad" isn't a political statement. Stop neutralizing the power of facts by framing them as "politics." Reality matters.

I’m listening to Stan Rogers so I looked him up on Wikipedia again. It is said that his last words were, “Let me help you.” This is what being Canadian is all about. Let me help you. Be like Stan.

Yep. And every one who was working at that time has retired. Almost no one working now was impacted by the NEP.

There have been occasional reports of raccoons in Calgary, 300 km away. But it doesn’t seem like they have a strong breeding population. The area I lived in BC was usually warmer than the Alberta side of the Rockies.

An individual in Canada used ChatGPT for eight months to plan one of the country’s worst mass shootings. Yet, if you listen to politicians and media, the real threat of AI is a fantastical scenario where it might wipe out humans in ten years. They need to stop getting fooled by tech deceivers.

This just seems wrong n so many levels. It is as Freire said, “the banking model of education.” It also , if it actually worked which it won’t, focuses education on producing obedient workers rather than well-rounded critically thinking citizens.

After two separate investigations into procurement corruption, and an ongoing RCMP criminal investigation of procurement, the UCP govt of Danielle Smith still awards a $300K contract to her former campaign advisor's company, claiming it was an open competition when there is no evidence of that.

Why should we pay more? Instead, let’s engage in asymmetrical economic retaliation. We enact right-to-repair legislation so we can jailbreak phones and other tech, including Teslas and tractors. Remove DRM locks from digital media. Hit the tech oligarchs in the pocket book.

I really only see one of two possibilities with these massive A.I. data centres. 1. The bubble bursts and the buildings become home to paintball or flea markets. 2. A.I. is successful and the need for computing resources greatly reduces with tech improvements and the data centres become useless.

I guess there’s a fire at a building on the corner of 82 st and 132 ave. I’m pretty sure the space where the cannabis shop is used to be an arcade. At the time one of the places people would go to buy drugs was the arcade. It seems the drugs stayed in the same spot and the businesses changed.

the EPS is rotten from top to bottom
"The fact that a Canadian police service would go to learn about apartheid policing should, just on the face of it, shock Canadians," said Walby, who reviewed the documents. 
He added that Canada already has discriminatory policing for Black, Indigenous and other racialized people, but that the EPS appears to "want more of it," reflecting a "broader approach that mirrors what the Israeli police are doing."
