I’m familiar with the others, but the Alberta one stands out the most to me as odd. Still fascinating though.

That’s interesting if it’s an older convention. I don’t normally read Alberta-focused literature, so it comes up for me a lot less.

Bit of a sidenote, but when did the shorthand for Alberta become “Alta”? “AB” is right there and is shorter.

Props to mom for not giving up.

Please sir, I want some more [rate cuts].

Neil Saravanamuttoo, a director of the non-profit CityShapes and expert on public finance, said it wasn’t “fair” to put the blame solely on other levels of government and that the city has to take some responsibility for this crisis.

“For example, putting $500 million into Lansdowne. Is this the time that we want to be spending money on a stadium that, quite frankly, is in perfectly good shape?” he asked.

“So these are the priorities that we’re spending on, and it’s no wonder that we have no money left over to spend on transit, affordable housing or for other priorities like that.”

Lansdowne is an ongoing pain in the city coffers.

At the breakneck pace bureaucracy usually takes I’m sure this thing meets code. As far as appearances go, however, it’s a real shame because the neighbourhood does look nice.

Here’s the NCC page that gives you the times and dates for digging.

Uh, yeah. I want to raise kids, not fodder.

Loose morals, like wizard sleeve.

If we’re gonna talk about safety and reliability, GM would probably be one of the worst performers in that test.

Hopefully mom doesn’t have her baby boy on her insurance.

Woah, big if true!

“It also makes you wonder if something as egregious as this bill payment has gone through, how many other smaller ones have gone through that have never been caught?”

Excellent point. When’s the Water & Waste Department’s next audit due?

Geeze, what a mess. What is law and order in our modern world?

Is he holding his gun sideways?
