And the usual protesters make a stink about it every time, all the way back to the '80s. You'll see those signs in various places in B.C. There's one (or there used to be. I haven't been there in decades.) on Hornby Island, on the road up from the ferry dock leading to Denman. But then, it's basically been a Hippie commune since the '60s anyway.

THC posted:In the case of Christian fundamentalists, who make up the core of RWOC, they've built their entire lives and worldview around the idea that there exist men and women, made in the image of God, and men are first and more Godly than women, and men have penises and women have vaginas but we don't talk about that nasty stuff unless we have to, and that there are very narrow roles and expectations for each. And this is natural and universal, and every civilization is based on it, and the ones that aren't based on it either fall apart or get destroyed by good Godly civs. Oh and don't forget that if you're not white they hate you too, but they haven't mentioned that part for years since it tends to make most media people (rightfully) ignore whatever you say and discount it because they truly are horrible people.

The NDP office finally was able to reach me on the landline the day before yesterday. They weren't going for the hard sell, but it was clear from the outset they wanted my money. Oh well, Boxing Day will be interesting: either brave the crowds at Kingsway, brave the crowds at West Ed (the mall that eats people), or hole up at Saint Pete's, drink, eat Pho and green onion cakes, and tip the strippers heavily? Hmmm, decisions decisions...

ZShakespeare posted:Oh please you'd be tripping all over yourselves to scream the loudest if it were the wildrose banning some poo poo like rabble.ca or thetyee Excerpted from here: http://albertapolitics.ca/2016/02/ezra-levant-the-pied-piper-of-right-wing-nuttery-has-the-mainstream-media-singing-his-tune/ Rebel Media claims that one of its freelancers was thrown out of a government “lock-up” at which advance technical information about the royalty review was made available to journalists, and that another was denied access to a meeting of stakeholders to which, government sources say, no media were admitted. The circumstances are murky and several well-known mainstream media journalists who were there and presumably know what happened have been conspicuously silent about what actually went on. Alas, I wasn’t there, so I can’t really say. But I’d bet that if I’d tried to get into the same stakeholder meeting room as did Sheila Gunn Reid, one of The Rebel’s reporters, I would have been tossed too. In his piece yesterday, Mr. Gunter stated that “the NDP government doesn’t question the legitimacy (nor should it) of online lefty journalists such as David Climenhaga of the NDP-friendly Rabble.ca or Dave Cournoyer, a communications advisor for the United Nurses of Alberta, whose Daveberta.ca blog is a must-read on Edmonton and Alberta politics.” So, for example, like Ms. Gunn Reid, I was also on what Mr. Gunter termed the “no-go list” for the news conference with Ms. Notley and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The policy, I understand, came from the Prime Minister’s Office. Unlike The Rebel’s reporter, I chose not to whine about it. Mr. Gunter, it must be noted, didn’t bother to check with me about any of this.

infernal machines posted:Good lord, how does the rest of the country do it? Or is Fort Mac the only town with snow these days? Well, in the older neighborhoods of Edmonton there's only enough room for three lanes: 2 parking and one driving. Usually we do the Canadian standoff, or if there's enough room the driver that sees enough space on the righthand side dekes over to give enough room for oncoming vehicles to get past. The courtesy wave is mandatory too. This is an avenue right near my house in South Edmonton, for example. Actually, this is a poor example; the road's too wide.

But getting Super Hornets would be pretty nifty too. Really, anything to distance us from those expensive bricks is good in my books.
