  • unrelated: that double negative is throwing me for a fucking loop, but the coffee hasn’t kicked in.

    I think “It’s unlikely that in a 4 person polycule that at least one of them isn’t nonbinary” is the better way to phrase it. I’m not trying to be pedantic here. I’m just wrestling (aloud) with the structure of the sentence.

    Related: Why would a polycule almost always have a non-binary member? I’m not up to date on this stuff, but I could see a bi polycule working, or something like that, with them all aligning with their typical (i use this word lightly, for lack of a better one) gender.






















  • That’s a fair point, about blocking pipelines. BC is in the same boat in that regard.

    Oil is a tough one - it’s a very valuable resource but it’s got a big stigma tied to it due to GHGs and spills. I wish we were collectively doing more about climate change, rather than just using it as an argument when it suits us, but that’s beside the point

    On the whole, we need to be a lot more collaborative. Western resentment is real, and somewhat justified, but you don’t cut off your arm to spite your finger




  • All of it, I hope. I would much rather pay for education than line the pockets of megacorps.

    Do you know how much the reclamation liability is for the oil sands? 200 billion. We have 2 billion saved to clean it up. That works out to $41,200 in cost per man, woman, and child, but sure, let’s focus on $650 per person.

    I would put money on oilsands companies shuttering their mines once or becomes clear there is no way to get product to market, or that it’s much more expansive to do so. Shell already did this when OPEX costs got too high. TOTAL also pulled out.


  • In 2021, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation pegged Albertans’ contribution to equalization as $650 per capita.

    Lol. Lmao even.

    Let’s risk a very unclear future, sold to us by utopian libertarians over $650 per person.

    I’m Albertan. I’m also quite Liberal, so kind of rare in these parts.

    Anyway, I just can’t wrap my head around the logic of the separatist have. Cut off ALL federal programs. Make your own programs, which is more than likely going to be blindingly more expensive due inefficiencies in starting from scratch. Cut all income tax (are you stupid?). Institute PST, something that is political sepukku in Alberta. Oh. And don’t forget to base your economy on a marginal product, with no access to foreign markets, whose commodity prices are controlled by a cartel.

    Get the fuck out, and come back to me with some valid logic

    If you’re not pestering the shit out of your wife, are you even married? My wife (perhaps unwisely) chose an intelligent (she’ll tell you otherwise, when I forget to replace the garbage bag) and funny man. Now she spends half her day rolling her eyes, or crinkling her nose at me (she’s particularly pretty when she does that), or swatting my hand away from her bottom.
