It didn’t happen in Alberta. Use a different thread.

Made a quick day trip to the Edmonton area over the weekend to take my mom home. They were set up in her small town on the main street, did not see anyone signing. Also saw a setup in the parking lot of one of the shopping centres in Ft Saskatchewan, sadly there was a small line of people either signing or at least listening.

A couple of independence signature collectors in the Bow Valley Square +15 today. Out of curiosity - are there any good looking people in support of separation? The only people I see on TV, Social Media or collecting/signing these things in person are overweight middle aged men that look like constipated toads. Not trying to insult anyone - just an observation.

It can't be entirely surprisingly that people who lost the genetic lottery in the intelligence department were also short-changed in physical aspects too.

So they chose first day after a long weekend, when a blizzard hit, to go downtown. Maybe they're hoping for grump people who were forced to not work from home today.

They already got ######ed by God so now they wobble around angry that Ottawa has it out for them. I've never seen so many angry white people pissed off that they are so hard done for.

I recall asking during the Forever Canada petition why they couldn't set up in the +15's and I don't remember getting a really satisfactory answer.

Did these guys and the recall Gondek folk actually go through the process to legitimately set up solicitation stands in the +15's?

So this ####ing #### has been starving the public system, limiting surgeries surgeons can do, and she uses that as our new baseline that they can stay under in the public system. And that's all they'll fund. A proven inadequate number of surgeries in a growing population. And she also makes it sound like they are lazy do nothing surgeons when they are practically begging for more OR time.

“This isn’t a problem of not having operating rooms in Alberta. It’s a problem of not having anesthetists and not having enough staff,” Manns said.

She's just standing up there lying.

Man I hope you UCP voters end up on the suffering end of this stick one day. So goddamn dumb.

Everyone's favourite tantrum thrower is running for the Calgary Co-Op board (and some idiot has decided to put 'Recommended' beside his name).

I voted for someone else, screw this guy.

[Fuzz]

I wasn't even going to bother voting, but now I will.

Reading his biographical blurb, he omits that he has ever had anything to do with the provincial government, but does list Attorney General of Alberta. How much does a Co-op director get paid?

Same. I just deleted the email. Guess I better read it.

It shows up in the app, too.

Maybe it’s good to keep him in a relatively benign role. What’s the worst he could do as a Coop board member?

Seeing as I actually like Coop, I don't want to find out.

I'm voting for Chioma Ufodike. I don't know why she's not recommended. Seems to have lots of skills and experience and her video was the best of the ones I watched.

Edit: You can vote for up to 5.

The Calgary Coop AGM should be interesting.

Joe Colangelo has been going after the Calgary Coop on a series of LinkedIn postings over the last few weeks.

Pretty smart honestly, hit up all the snowbirds that aren't boycotting.

Unsure if this would actually count legally, but assuming they have their ID?

ID? In what world should you need ID to vote?

[Fuzz]

Cool, we don't even need to let those ones back in to Canada. You want out? Stay the #### out you traitors.

It's not a vote, it's a petition. Complicated, I know. And the UCP has made the decisions on how they proceed, and made it clear you must present ID. Which is why PsYcNeT mentioned it.


I know it's a cold frosty morning, but do try to keep up.
