@AskISED hey ISED are you folks able to help a brother out? I’m at my wits end trying to find this rf interference that’s causing a bunch of car fobs to not work.

@zuzum @JyotiGondek I like it, but isn’t hospital staff all hired under AHS which is provincial? My only shtick with the good list you’ve provided.

1. Cut all DEI positions. 2. Reverse all useless virtue signaling projects (fancy crosswalks etc) 3. Look at hospital admins and see what’s superfluous (guaranteed lots of fluff) 4. Check city building regs, remove impediments to development (guaranteed lots of them) I could go on forever!

I challenge my colleagues calling for more cuts to show your math. Explain what you would sacrifice — and to what end. I refuse to ask families to trade their safety and quality of life for a few dollars of short-term savings.

@ramiremic @OfBuffalo85012 @Henny347646 @K_P_Jorgan @kirawontmiss @omarhustla He tripped walking out to the ring.

@OfBuffalo85012 @Henny347646 @K_P_Jorgan @kirawontmiss @omarhustla Dude he couldn’t walk down the entrance let alone fight in the ring .. he was hobbling to the corner round 1

hold up the fight might actually be rigged…

@BezirganMocha @JyotiGondek Ever been to a hockey game? It’s pretty standard to open with treaty 7 recognition. Very meh post. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

Calgary Mayor @JyotiGondek faces criticism after reports emerged that she began her Remembrance Day speech by addressing everyone as ‘settlers on someone else’s land.’ I searched the internet and found the video. Here is the full speech:

@caboraggly @BrockWarkentin @nenshi I guess my view is anecdotal from working in the core for over a decade and seeing how empty it is compared to pre pandemic.

@FrantzAndy @BrockWarkentin @nenshi You know ridership is above pre-pandemic levels now, right? They set a record this sping.

There’s an awful lot of misinformation being spread about the Green Line, so let me lay things out clearly. I know a few critics of this project who could use a refresher.

@BrockWarkentin @nenshi Considering the infrastructure is there I am a bit surprised they aren’t running 4. Ever since Covid I haven’t seen them but the only reason I’ve heard was the lack of ridership. From a top down view it probably looks better having 3 maxed for “maximum efficiency”

@FrantzAndy @nenshi The 6 billion dollar greenline hits a total population under 15,000 people 4th car needed and trains are packed so.... is there an engineering oopsie here ? Why are they not running at rush hour

@BrockWarkentin @nenshi Lack of ridership, just a guess but even with a 4th car that would only take 1/4-1/3 of passengers from a green line, factor in how often there are delays and it compounds pretty quickly into a crap scenario.

@nenshi Trains wouldn't be as packed at city hall if they had 4 cars.. We invested in lengthing all these stations, 3 car trains.. what gives

@Bratt_world @TWilsonOttawa I’m more curious if he is a legal gun owner. Restricted firearms are a process and expensive. I’m guessing that mag and the pistol are from the states.

@TWilsonOttawa Sometimes they’re 3D printed guns

This happened on Vancouver island last night. I’m betting $100 he came to Canada as an international student. #DiversityIsOurStrength

@JennaACunninham @wannamaker_dale @DanWMcLean Densification needs to be done smartly and the blanket rezoning is lazy. What should have been done is a simplified rezoning approach that has feasibility at the forefront. The city was getting out of doing work. Read that developers are trying to build beyond the new zoning.

@wannamaker_dale @DanWMcLean How does more housing options not “work”? We need to reduce sprawling, it’s very costly in many ways.

What do you think the chances are of the Courts striking down Blanket Re-Zoning? Bell column lists the reasons why it could. Bell: Blanket rezoning goes to court, another City of Calgary headache | Calgary Herald calgaryherald.com/opinion/column…

@phisharkk @toys_retro Loved this game. Didn’t get very far in it. Wish this was a character in smash bros.

@HumanBicLighter @William01645932 @iluminatibot Wasn’t that in zeitgeist?

@William01645932 @iluminatibot They've nearly whiped it clean from the internet, but I know a link to the most damning video where you can hear and see the explosions going off in 7. After seeing that, hearing the testimonies of people there and everything else, no one will ever convince me otherwise.

On 9-11 Building 7 Came Down for No Reason 8 hours later. Larry collected $4.5 Billion.

@Marty2son @MuhammadKhurram @iluminatibot I would like to have known the fire system in those buildings, where I have worked the stairwells and elevator lobbies are pressurized to keep smoke out. Not to mention exhaust fans turn on to eject smoke.

@MuhammadKhurram @iluminatibot A lot of different factors can influence heat. This is a huge over simplification. Drafts, different other materials burning, like concrete. Conjecture is never proof. The elevator shafts alone could have created super chimneys turning the building itself into a blast furnace.

The Twin Towers were white elephants that their owner, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, had wanted to demolish for years but could not as the buildings were loaded with asbestos that would have cost millions to remove. Among other issues, the buildings were not wired for WIFI and the occupancy rate was below 50%. Why on earth would anyone want to lease these antiquated pieces of trash properties? Why indeed? In January 2001, Silverstein made a $3.2 billion bid to lease-purchase the World Trade Center complex. Silverstein's negotiated bid was finalized on July 24, 2001, less than 2 months prior to 9/11. The Port Authority agreed to lease the twin towers to Larry Silverstein and he agreed to pay the equivalent of $3.2 billion over the next 99 years. This was the first time in the complex's 31-year history that it had changed management. The lease agreement applied to One, Two, Four, and Five World Trade Center, and about 425,000 square feet of retail space. Silverstein put up just $14 million of his own money to secure the deal. The agreement gave Silverstein, as leaseholder, the right and the obligation to rebuild the structures if destroyed. The insurance policies for World Trade Center buildings WTC 1. 2, 4 and 5 had a collective face amount of $3.55 billion and the insurance policy he took out included protection against terrorist attacks.

@GlobalCalgary Tbf, meetings suck, if the choice was a meeting or a powder day. Sorry folks, I will be hitting the slopes.

Ward 13 Coun. Dan McLean has been sanctioned again by the city's integrity commissioner, following an investigation that he participated in a golf tournament during a city council meeting. READ MORE: trib.al/24G2W9h trib.al/24G2W9h

@LibreGold @olaskyguy @ThoughtsMiz I think the line of thought is how wasteful all that land is. Urban golf courses could be used for housing etc. I have mixed feelings about it all as I enjoy snowboarding. Same issues but it brings me joy.

@olaskyguy @ThoughtsMiz Help me out smartypants

For over twenty years, numerous mountaineers ascending Mount Everest have encountered "Green Boots," a deceased climber who lost his life near the summit in 1996. Presently, the presence of Green Boots' body serves as a grim milestone for climbers, indicating their proximity to the summit.⁠ Despite ongoing uncertainty about Green Boots' identity, his remains are among several that tragically mark the route to the top of the world's highest and most perilous mountain.⁠

@cityofcalgary How come the sweepers don’t have nicknames like the snow plows?

Did you know we have a Street Sweeping Map that shows sweep route locations and the progress of scheduled or completed routes within our City? ⬇️Check it out

@PierrePoilievre I think it’s a terrible idea. That being said can I get some government cocaine?

The theory of safe supply: give people taxpayer-funded “safe” drugs so they don’t use dangerous ones. The reality: they sell the “safe” drugs (sometimes to kids) to buy more potent ones that kill them. Enough. More treatment—not more poison. cheknews.ca/more-than-80-p…
