I never thought the "just had a shower after a run" guy would also be a mug pisser. Oh Canada indeed. Hope he remembered to dump it and didn't leave it on his desk........

How the heck does Alberta justify fining students, of all people, for not disclosing their student status? I recall my student days. I was poor as dirt trying to work and get through all my classes. A fine like this would be devastating. Why would they do this?

CopywrightMMXI posted:The Regina city Police got a $3.8 million increase this week. They said body cams ($1.2 million) were too expensive but for an increase so they could buy a plane. I'm still in the "wtf" mode from this decision. Why the hell do they need a plane?? Saskatoon had one for a while, then they got rid of it because it was a waste of money. Give the cops money to fly a stupid plane around a tiny city like Regina for...reasons?

Pleads posted:The schedules are wildly different, road tripping to Regina for a Riders game once every couple weeks (and max like 10 times a season even with a deep playoff run) is a lot different than 41 home games on all days of the week. Same. My dad still has a couple Saskatoon Blues hats from when they tried back in the 80s!

Wistful of Dollars posted:Honestly, showing pictures of diseased junk sounds like it would probably be effective on teenagers. That's what they did in my Saskatoon high school! I still remember pictures of infected parts they showed us. It was nasty as poo poo.

Charles Bukowski posted:gently caress em, gently caress em in the mouth. I want cheaper cheese and less bellyaching about how hard it is to be a small business man. Or, I'd like for us to stop dairy farming and grow more soy? Maybe those farmers can go work at an industrial farm, im sure their experience would be quite useful for them. Thing is, farming isn't simple. The main issue (and cause for the griping) is that the greatest portion of our arable land in the country (the prairies) are rainfed and basically completely reliant on weather (rain) to produce anything. Sure, we've made a great deal of progress with new technologies like zero-till production, crop breeding, livestock genetics and feeding practices, but it still all boils down to water availability (which is generally lacking in AB and SK anyway). Couple that with farming being incredibly capital intensive and risk based because you have to buy everything up front on credit, you get some pretty intense opinions out there when the weather isn't cooperating.

PT6A posted:I've tried that the past two elections, it doesn't appear to be working. I fail to understand how voting for the cons will lead to anything aside from more rapid dismantling of every social system we have. You've made it clear that your issue is housing and that the NDP is for whatever reason not tenable for you. But somehow the cons, that present no coherent policy on anything, is better than either the libs or NDP? I almost can't believe I have to type this out, but if you think a con minister is somehow going to be more effective than a lib minister at doing anything (except dismantling social structures/shutting down programs/selling off assets), well, you ought to brush up on history, perhaps what happened under the last streak of con governments or the one just before that one). I can't believe I'm defending the libs.

Bleck posted:Frankly I don't think either of these posts address my concerns with this program. While not a parent myself, the experience of the parents in my social circles has entirely been "yeah nothing has changed where we are [Ontario]." The daycare program has made an immense difference for me and people I work with. If you're in a registered daycare or centre, you're saving nearly $600 per month, per child. I don't understand how anyone could think this is not impactful.

Bleck posted:Gesturing politely but exasperatedly at these two things one after the other and nodding slowly I don't understand what you want here. We have progress and costs are being lowered, which is what I thought you were asking for. Evidence is provided and then you move goalposts. Things aren't perfect by any means and this was a program that has helped a lot of parents. It isn't enough (because there aren't enough registered daycares) but we're way better off today than five years ago.

Bleck posted:"What about the child care thing?" I don't get why I'm getting this hostile response. I shared a personal experience. My experience doesn't match what people in your circle have experienced.
