  • Why Saskatchewan calls a hooded sweatshirt a 'bunny hug'

    Jump

  • Well now I'm curious. I'm 57 and the youngest of three, and I remember it from my youth.

  • Federal public servants to return to office minimum 4 days per week later this year

    Jump

  • This is SO FUCKING STUPID!

    For those whose work activities support it, working from home (or staff-driven hybrid) results in the same or better productivity and better mental health outcomes.

    Back to the office directives are created for a number of reasons, all of them terrible.

    • Insecure managers can micromanage their staff
    • Insecure executives can survey/show off their 'empire'
    • Unhappy decision makers can keep other people from being happy

    Fuck this.

  • Premier says Alberta will withhold funding for judges without more input on selection

    Jump

  • She's a Trump-loving fascist, and a separatist traitor.

    It'sntime for the federal government to get a judge to rule on the legality of her actions.

  • Conservative MP Jivani heads to Washington after Liberals snub offer to collaborate

    Jump

  • The National Prayer Breakfast is a HUGE deal. Every president since Ike has attended. It is a deeply evangelical event, withh thousands of attendees. And it's appalling.

  • Why Saskatchewan calls a hooded sweatshirt a 'bunny hug'

    Jump

  • We used to. Kangaroo jacket (AB) and bunny hug (SK) both were fairly common in the '70s, then kangaroo jacket kind of fell by the wayside.

    Jump

  • So why do Albertans call it a kangaroo jacket?

  • Trump Team’s Secret Meetings With Group Plotting to Break Up Canada Exposed

    Jump

  • Oh don't get me wrong, she is MASSIVELY at fault here. She has been courting separation since she was just a shitty radio voice. In the last year she has changed the laws three times to make things easier for the separatists.

    But Kenney is going to make a run for the CPC leadership when Poilievre is turfed, and he's going to lie about being a strong federalist.

    I want to make sure EVERYONE knows how happy he is to burn down the country.

  • Trump Team’s Secret Meetings With Group Plotting to Break Up Canada Exposed

    Jump

  • As we approach a leadership review in the federal CPC, I want to remind everyone that Smith didn't start this.

    Jason Kenney was the instigator of Alberta separatism.

    It was Kenney who starting using the "Sovereign Alberta" rhetoric. It was Kenney who invited separatists to the table.

    Jason Kenney lit this dumpster fire, handed a can of gas to a deranged arsonist (Smith), and then severed his ties and ran.

    Canadians need to remember this. Canada need to know that Kenney is willing to destroy Canada for his own gains.

  • What should be emoji reaction for "me too" in the general sense?

  • Why do people pronounce ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) like it's a word?

    Jump

  • That never really caught on though.

  • I've been in IT for over 30 years and never once heard someone try to make an acronym of URL.

  • Why do people pronounce ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) like it's a word?

    Jump

  • If an acronym is convenient, it will overrule an initialism.

    You seem to be insisting on avoiding the acronym that is right there, and I'm not sure why.

  • Canada deal on Chinese EVs shows trade ‘trumped national security’: experts

    Jump

  • This isn't wrong, but what are the alternatives? Unless we spontaneously stop buying cars (or at least demand privacy on them), any and every car company will be spying on us. Our information either goes to the US or to China. Neither is desirable, but it's not a reason to keep the price of cars inflated.

  • The Wild Claims of Jeff Rath, Separatist Firebrand | The Tyee

    Jump

  • He should be shipped to prison.

  • It always makes news when the "Doomsday Clock" is moved by a second or minute. What would actually happen if it got to 00:00

    Jump

  • Someone would have to write a song about it.

  • What's the best free version of word?

    Jump

  • Same. Started with StarOffice 5.0, which was a complete train wreck.

  • So it's treason, then?

    Jump

  • Nooooooo!

    80+% of Albertans do NOT support this nonsense!

  • 'We should let them come down into the U.S.': Trump cabinet member weighs in on Alberta separatism

    Jump

  • As an Albertan, I'm surprised to say I agree with him.

    All of the fucking traitors in this province should pack up and fuck right off from my country, my province, and my life.

    Oh, except that you're not taking one square mm of Alberta with you.
