Kyle Nelson @kylenelson17.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Finest example of the failings of first past the post. 020
Kyle Nelson @kylenelson17.bsky.social · 01/10/2026That’s the American spirit. If you don’t succeed, try, try again. 000
Kyle Nelson @kylenelson17.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Some would even go as far as describing it as a kick in the nuts. 010
Kyle Nelson @kylenelson17.bsky.social · 22/09/2026No scolding going on here. I’m just asking what good does not voting do. There’s no statement to be made by sitting at home since that statement comes at the polling booth. 101
Kyle Nelson @kylenelson17.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Of course it does but what does sitting on your hands do? You sure showed the man (or woman). 100
Kyle Nelson @kylenelson17.bsky.social · 22/09/2026There is a degree of letting others do all the work for you. It’s no problem that I don’t vote since there will be lots of other people to take up the slack. Unfortunately, time and time again it’s shown that this is not a great position to take. You get what you don’t vote for. 100
Kyle Nelson @kylenelson17.bsky.social · 22/09/2026It’s easier to blame Ottawa than to look at the hand that feeds you and realize the morsels being offered are getting smaller and smaller. 040
Kyle Nelson @kylenelson17.bsky.social · 21/09/2026We still are friendly. It’s a definite case of it’s you, not me. 000
Kyle Nelson @kylenelson17.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Which is worse that they actually don’t understand the concept of vote counting or they do but that they allow their politics to shine brightly? 020
Kyle Nelson @kylenelson17.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Weird thing for us now is that we fully embrace anyone with American plates in our parts but there is open disdain for those from Alberta. 020
Kyle Nelson @kylenelson17.bsky.social · 18/09/2026How permanent this will be is yet to be seen. Will Canadian tourists return in numbers? I’m sure industries like the CA wine industry will not see exports to Canada return to their former levels. I’ll stick with my local wine thanks. 271
Kyle Nelson @kylenelson17.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I meant in general. With trade a more mutually beneficial deal may be struck with a new Us admin, but consumer habits have shifted dramatically. The anti-US sentiment will be around for a long time. Yes, there will be those buying bourbon again, but more will avoid US products like the plague. 181
Kyle Nelson @kylenelson17.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Or more. I doubt I will ever see our relationship return to something that resembles pre-2016 in my lifetime. 2101
Kyle Nelson @kylenelson17.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Take one more step and you will finally get it. What did Trump say was the end game for the reason to crush our economy? To annex Canada. It’s something that is never discussed by almost every American. 190
Kyle Nelson @kylenelson17.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Americans need to decide if we are nasty or just spiteful. 150
Kyle Nelson @kylenelson17.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Canadian spite is 2.2x as big as American spite. 010
Kyle Nelson @kylenelson17.bsky.social · 18/09/2026No, if you stop eating bananas you’ll have $2B worth of rotten bananas and will have wasted $2B in the process. 020
Kyle Nelson @kylenelson17.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Funny thing, mandate in a political sense means the same thing on both sides of the border. Voters giving a particular candidate the authority to govern. Just because they want to narrow the definition based on the margin of victory doesn’t make it any more correct. 0180
Kyle Nelson @kylenelson17.bsky.social · 17/09/2026The second time was definitely not the proverbial charm. 000
Kyle Nelson @kylenelson17.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Methinks the NDP in AB made a poor decision with their last leadership choice. Nenshi doesn’t seem fit for the occasion. 100
Kyle Nelson @kylenelson17.bsky.social · 17/09/2026It’s a common story told by conservatives in many jurisdictions. May it trickle down forever. 110
Kyle Nelson @kylenelson17.bsky.social · 17/09/2026AB would choose the most difficult path for themselves in order to blame others for the chaos and end result. 010
Kyle Nelson @kylenelson17.bsky.social · 16/09/2026And push for Gretzky to be on their currency. Fairs fair. We have their king on ours. 000
Kyle Nelson @kylenelson17.bsky.social · 16/09/2026My bet is on it would slide closer to the worst case scenario. 080
Kyle Nelson @kylenelson17.bsky.social · 16/09/2026We offered to throw in a bag of pucks but they would have been subject to massive tariffs making them unsellable. 000
Kyle Nelson @kylenelson17.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Don’t post that on Xitter. The replies would be scary. 010
Kyle Nelson @kylenelson17.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Because it comes from the gas station down the streeet. 090
Kyle Nelson @kylenelson17.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Maybe start with building and selling something the market wants. 110
Kyle Nelson @kylenelson17.bsky.social · 13/09/2026And if he doesn’t there could be grave consequences. 0210
Kyle Nelson @kylenelson17.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Now you’re getting to the heart of the issue for Canadians. 080
Kyle Nelson @kylenelson17.bsky.social · 13/09/2026There is research that indicates that immunotherapies coupled with mRNA shots increase the effectiveness of the treatment. 010
Kyle Nelson @kylenelson17.bsky.social · 13/09/2026I’m still walking the planet because of Keytruda. Originally my type of cancer wasn’t covered by BC for Keytruda. I was offered the treatment on compassionate grounds at no cost (about $150k worth). Stage 4 and two years of treatment, I am good to go. 120
Kyle Nelson @kylenelson17.bsky.social · 12/09/2026As a Canadian, we hate him too, but we’ve kind of sat up at attention at some of his utterances. Perspective I guess. 060
Kyle Nelson @kylenelson17.bsky.social · 12/09/2026The build out of individualized public transportation seems so backwards where it only serves the builder. Imagine if someone would build a tunnel for a specific brand of vehicles. Now that would be spectacular. 010
