Copy-pasting my comment from the crosspost:
Can we stop with the "strategic voting" bullshit?
Go ahead and "strategic vote" but don't come around complaining when Canada ends up being a two-party state like our oh-so mentally sound southern neighbours.
Edmonton, and I attended from I think 2005-2012.
I want to say "good", but having been a kid with shitty parents, I genuinely think this is going to be doing more harm than good.
I remember back in elementary we had to pay lunch fees in order to eat at the school during lunch. It was apparently to help pay for the people who supervised us during lunch break, since the school didn't provide food. Since my parents gave priority to my father's alcohol and cigarettes as he sat on his ass playing computer games all day adding nothing to our tight budget, they would never pay for the fees.
It felt like a double punishment having parents who didn't care enough to pay said fees, and a school that put that responsibility on you as the student to advocate for yourself to your own fucking parents or else they'd have you sit in the office's old nursery alone doing nothing each day for 45 minutes as everyone else had recess.
I get that this is different from that cause it's a health and safety issue, but this genuinely feels like it's punishing the students who are already powerless and have awful parents, and I wouldn't be surprised if this grows dissent with the education system as they grow up. Surely there's better options that target the parents?
According to the City of Calgary’s Integrity and Ethics Office annual report delivered to city councillors on Sept. 17, 2024, there were 51 complaints made under the Code of Conduct for Elected Officials Bylaw. Forty-eight of those complaints were dismissed, with the rationale being no reasonable grounds, or frivolous or vexatious. The reporting period was from May 1, 2023, to April 30, 2024.
That's a high ratio of complaints dismissed.
Hate to say they'll likely move to BlueSky, but at the very least it would be a good idea to have them make a bridge via Bridgy Fed.
I mean, good on there being more options I suppose, but wish they had better values.
Saw they had a candidate in my riding listed on the Elections Canada site the other day and I just can't help but feel they could be standing for better things.
Gotta love the language here implying he only sees Indigenous people as means to access resources rather than seeing them as normal people whose lives and histories should be respected.
Must be hard simply being a fiscal conservative in the Conservative party right now seeing the social conservatives botching all the good publicity the party could possibly have had left.
The firmware explicitly states it's for photos only, and I tried my luck using both mp4 and webm formats.
I think you're misunderstanding, the TV's firmware literally states that it can only be used for photos. I tried accessing both webm and mp4 to try my luck, but nothing.
Oh! Is Roku something you can get separately? I always thought it was just a built-in OS on newer TVs.
Watched this all the time on Treehouse TV as a kid. Apparently it was originally on TVO? Crazy how I remember it so much despite it only having a single season apparently.
I've said it before and I'll say it again.
If you can't pick up after your dog, you don't deserve to be a pet owner.
