Here's a brief interview clip where Jim Dinning dodges the question of if we should have facts before voting on the APP because he's talked to some Albertans who don't care about any facts and just want the APP so we can direct funding to Alberta companies. So this is what is guiding him.


We are so ####ed.

Fuzz: They're likely not trying to guess your password so much as they are trying to max out the failed login attempts as they're hoping the forum will lock-out your account and prevent you from using it as well. Basically a denial-of-service attack.

Thankfully the forum doesn't work like old Windows Active Directory account lockout used to.

Dear Fuzz,

This is an automated message.

Someone has tried to log into your account on Calgarypuck Forums - The Unofficial Calgary Flames Fan Community with an incorrect password at least 5 times. This person has been prevented from attempting to login to your account for the next 15 minutes.

The person trying to log into your account had the following IP address: 208.78.41.108

This is most likely a spammer trying to gain access by guessing passwords. You can reduce the risk by ensuring your password is robust., otherwise no other action is necessary to ensure your account remains secure.

All the best,
Calgarypuck Forums - The Unofficial Calgary Flames Fan Community

The loser must have a somewhat more intelligent friend that showed them how to use a VPN.

This is what the war room has been up to.

Well they can stop trying, I stay logged in so it has zero effect on me. They can also, you know, get bent.

Anyone else get that flyer full of bull#### paid for with our tax dollars to try to convince us to do what Danielle wants? ####ing embarrassing. I really don't get how she can spread such blatant lies with zero repercussions.

And yet, voters are so ####ing stupid they will be convinced. Seriously why the #### did you losers vote for her? I can't figure it out. Are you that dumb, or just want to "own the libs" and don't really give a ####? Please, explain.

There should be a grassroots 'Alberta Truth Commission' made up of non-government affiliated scholars, experts and citizen volunteers that actively communicate to Albertans through media and releases about truth in government messaging and identify misinformation and inaccuracy when necessary. A check and balance that Albertans can turn to for facts on issues that matter to them would be extremely helpful. I'm sure the insecure/uneducated UCP and TBA members would lose their collective minds over something like that though.

I, in fact, received two of these flyers yesterday. The wife and I thought that was a nice touch of irony.

I don’t trust the UCP with evenly distributing their garbage flyers that we’ve all paid for.

No chance I trust them with our pensions.

Can you pick a worse name?

This is right up there with BLM and Defund the police for names that send the wrong message. I like the idea of fact checkers but calling it a Truth Commission is straight out of 1984.

You aren’t the target audience of the output of such a commission.

Holy geezus, relax. It's just an idea, not an official corporate registration with a scheduled press conference to announce the organization's official existence. Calm down.

[TheIronMaiden]

Well if there is anything you should know about having ideas, is that you shouldnt.

It actually sounds like a name the UCP would come up with, except in their case it would crank out nothing but complete horsesh-t.

You never told us you write "motivational work posters" for a living. This is genius.

Was watching a show last night and a new PP commercial came on. He was sitting on the front step of a house and went on about how "When my parents left each morning from this front door to work hard as teachers, they dreamt of one day retiring...blah blah, Trudeau is taking away peoples retirements with his inflation....blah blah"

I just thought it was funny he was talking about someone taking away peoples retirements while sitting on the front step of a house in Calgary.

If you have an issue with receiving two shouldn't your beef be with Canada Post? They are the ones delivering it to your home and are responsible for doing that job properly.

Can’t trust Canada Post? Alberta Post is next up on the magic mandate.

Need to vet all incoming mail from other parts of Canada to stop woke socialism, anti-fossil fuels and Ottawa creep at the border. The minister of red tape will see to make it even easier than it is today!

You'll need to drive to Lloydminster SK to ship your packages to the rest of Canada!
