That visitor center is literally in process of being replaced so for all the buildings to be lost that is one of the best one to go. Sounds like the town itself is still in pretty good shape, here's to hoping they can hold out a another day or two until mother nature kicks in a hand.

yesssss. Rigging up a jerrycan inside as a fuel tank is legit right? Also, I have to quit hitting the rye the night before taekwondo class. Holy gently caress, that was rough. I haven't sweated like that since... well... since I did it last week. Ugh.

Yeah, wasn't the province getting ready to do a bunch of changes to Waterton's townsite that pissed off the locals?

Yeah, or more so the feds with parks Canada. .. but I think it's pretty much the visitors Centre, not sure if there is anything else. The Centre was on the outskirts of town near the prince of wales hotel, and the park is moving it downtown which the locals/regulars believe, and rightly so, that it will make the parking and congestion awful. And I don't see it not becoming worse by a huge amount.

Hey Mr. Mayor - did you get your reign extended? Also, holy poo poo life in a small town. VLTs still banned by a whopping 13 votes.

That's good though. VLTs are predatory. The incubment mayor here has over 86% of the vote. The only person running against her is a crackhead who's official picture had a chick cropped out of it because it was probably the only picture he had of him wearing a shirt http://elections.reddeer.ca/for-voters/whos-running/mayor/sean-burke/ Looks like only 1 councilor at risk of being voted out. Gonna be the same old poo poo for a while.

slidebite posted:Hey Mr. Mayor - did you get your reign extended? Believe me, he goes looking for people to take the job off his hands. The election campaign is him putting out signs with some other motherfucker's name on them. Calling into the local AM radio to spread scandalous rumours about himself. Blackmail photographs. Runs a whisper campaign against his own office that basically consists of phoning up his constituents and asking them if they really want to know he's a full-blooded commie dictator, to which they ask him if they can borrow some of his tools for a post-hole digging that weekend. Wastes taxpayer money on overengineered hog-roasting machines as "public art," only to have the constituents demand more. Hiked tax rates to the maximum possible that his office can levy, then spent it. Seat Safety Switch fucked around with this message at 06:38 on Oct 17, 2017 |

I'll never be rid of this loving job, I'm the only one who can troubleshoot the A/V system in the hall. Last night I had to go fix it, some retard had unplugged everything because the batteries in the master remote were dead. Like, jeezlus people, maybe before you unplug the amps, the router, the equalizer, the DVD player, the video switch, and the satellite receiver making it lose authorization so someone has to call the provider to get it reactivated, maybe, just maybe open the remote and see if the batteries are leaking chunky acid crystals first.  (Also we do council elections at the end of the year, there is no real general election for town council.) Also I voted, there was literally one race on my ballet, for MD councilor, two guys were running. In and out, no waiting.

ExecuDork posted:I'm stupidly amused that if a place is small enough, they just have a person write the vote counts on a big whiteboard in some conference room. There's another, more official version somewhere, right? One that's not vulnerable to a poorly-aimed sneeze? Haha yeah, there is. We actually use Scantron computers and these were just written down for people to digest the broken down individual results. I was more on about the small numbers. The results would have been swung by literally a few houses or a large family. The mayor could have been changed by a well timed blue light special at the local chinese food place. You want pathetic though, Calgary was a loving gong-show of a dumpster fire last night of how not to do an election. The results website kept crashing, and they use handwritten ballots so that whiteboard kind of thing was more like how it is officially done in a metro city of 1,000,000+ in TYOL 2017. Also, check out Larry Heather, mayor candidate for Calgary. The guy would have been viewed batshit insane in 1917, let alone 2017. I watched a debate with him last week and he was just going off the rails, women can't be cops or firemen, and that Calgary needed a Christian mayor with god on his side (people start to laugh) following up with YOU WON'T BE LAUGHING WHEN THE STREETS ARE FILLED WITH CASKETS or some loving thing like that. I'm not even really using hyperbole, it was something close to that if not exact.

My election officer initially forgot to sign my ballot which would've spoiled them if a lady didn't catch that. The whole election here was a complete gongshow, kind of sad that polls can't even be non partisan anymore but it certainly mobilised alot of people to vote when they otherwise wouldn't have. I really wasn't thinking about it until the whole arena thing came up and I got a real look at the front runners and their policies.

We're getting the same thing now too. There's a guy who FILLS his loving yard with inflatable halloween and christmas stuff, i had to go out and get a picture. Probably half of it is gone.  And his house and car are getting sandblasted by the park.
