Alberta has hydroelectric too. Pretty much every good spot has a dam across it already. They just don’t produce a lot of power since the rivers aren’t that big here. They all merge further east in Manitoba where there is also hydro electric generating at a larger scale.

“Use renewables you bigots” is what they say, and when we do, we’re told “you’re not doing enough”. We’re maxed out you fucks.

Wear a full respirator while picking up mouse shit so you don’t get hantavirus.

Wear any old mask or piece of cloth over your face so you don’t get china virus.

My favourite is the people who say “masks protect others!” While they wear masks with exhaust valves.

The first step is to admit that you have a problem and seek help. Alcoholics, junkies, any sort of addiction.

Junkies need to want to get clean. Without that they will never ever stop using.

Unfortunately, that cycle plays out over generations, not over a few years. If things don’t get better, the hard times will remain for the rest of our lives, and for a good chunk of our children’s and grandchildren’s lives too.

This might be the first time that elements one group voluntarily and willingly change themselves to be the underclass.

Of course XKCD goes down this path. After all, their main audience is the soy “I heckin love science” crowd. When I was in university, these people where the ones in the engineering labs that didn’t know which end of a screw driver to use.

That fucker better be done proper and twin tracked the whole way. Over build it now, it will never ever have a chance to be expanded in the future.

Still waiting for the footage from later on the trip where she goes into the back woods and joins the cannibals for dinner.

Fuck I remember having unqualified (substitute) teachers back in 2005. The guy was cool enough, just told stories about growing up in a dirt hut in Africa. But the other unqualified sub was the local karate instructor and just put on CBC’s greatest Canadians.

The media won’t give a shit about this. Perhaps if we keep digging, we can find footage her going into backwoods Indonesia and joining a cannibal tribe for dinner.

Compensation commensurate with experience.

I am underpaid and overworked as it is already. I don’t need it any worse.

If it’s anything like the caribou and moose harvesting in northern Alberta, then “muh treaty rights” translates into industrial harvesting and processing.

They're collecting their pension now. Good luck.

Exactly.

Here in alberta the NDP where screeching about throwing a billion dollars at the education system to double the number of teachers and cut in half class sizes, then use what ever community space they could find to hold classes.

Well where the fuck are they going to find all those teachers. The university’s only pump out so many a year, and the retired ones are on their fat fucking pensions (that is commoners will never see an equivalent).

And their community space idea? Fucking horseshit. All those places are going to want to change rent. Community hall - rent please. Library - rent please. Empty office building in down town Calgary - rent please, $19 a square foot.

From the movie office space;

Peter Gibbons: Our high school guidance counselor used to ask us what you'd do if you had a million dollars and you didn't have to work. And invariably what you'd say was supposed to be your career. So, if you wanted to fix old cars you're supposed to be an auto mechanic.

Samir: So what did you say?

Peter Gibbons: I never had an answer. I guess that's why I'm working at Initech.

Michael Bolton: No, you're working at Initech because that question is bullshit to begin with. If everyone listened to her, there'd be no janitors, because no one would clean shit up if they had a million dollars.

It is far worse. I’m just trying out angles and arguments that appeal to the leftie zealots
