If you find a desolate arid desert beautiful, then yes. It’s a whitish brown Arizona.

Whew, glad I dumped my Micron shares a little While ago.

I’m definitely a little late getting back to this party, but I never said that “I” hate Ottawa. I said that is the general sentiment in Alberta. “Ottawa” being the default slang to describe the Federal Government, as a commenter replied to you stating. Hopefully that clears some things up.

For some reason, the average Albertan has been brainwashed enough by decades of anti-Fed propaganda that nearly half the population here believes the federal government actively works against Alberta. That Alberta because of its vast resources gets snubbed non-stop and it’s the rest of Canada’s fault. They believe the province just writes cheques out to Quebec, and the rest of the country is stealing our money.

I hope you are right, and generally speaking I believe the same way you do on the matter. Sure they had lineups 2000 people long in every community, but that’s it. Everyone that was going to sign their stupid petitions signed them the first 3 days.

But if you are like me and live here, the sentiment is very much “fuck Ottawa” more than “fuck Canada.” It’s sad how easily affected a population can be when it comes to propaganda like this. It’s sad really. And we thought thought as a society, making sure everyone can read and write a lawful requirement was a good thing.

Even the villains know when something is bad for them.

I feel like this is the origin story to a script of a film Chris Pratt would definitely star in… …Oh wait…

It has to do with sheer cost and then tariffs to protect government owned industries. Regulation would definitely be a better starting point.

Also I actually agree with you.

Cost.

Here in Alberta, Canada girls have to prove their girls to play girls sports. All because one (of maybe 2-5 in the entire province) trans kids wanted to play sports.

I wish I was joking.

Let’s not do that. Because either the entire food chain from agriculture to shelf would have to be nationalized, and that… is just not feasible. Maybe 50 years ago, sure but not anymore.

Let’s start with passing some laws to nationalize the price or cap the price of essential food items. Meat, Vegetables and fruit, bread items to start with. And legislated weight would be nice. I still don’t understand why a package of chicken breast comes with only 3 fucking pieces and costs $14-$18. Average families are four people damnit!!! Packaged meat should be in amounts for 2 people and 4 people.

It just likes like someone in game found the light switch…
