I mean, conservatives deal exclusively in journalistic malpractice, Rebel doubly so, so no surprises here. Truly an Alberta moment.
I hate it here. We want to leave SO BADLY, but looking for a job in another province is a nightmare.
We've set a soft deadline at 2 years. We're just gonna pile into a car and go, and fuck consequences.
bro id move to calgary in your place, the housing market there looks way less shit than basically any city in america 🙃 and even walkable
what exactly is bad about the city itself?
I'd agree. I've lived in Calgary until a few years ago. It's surprisingly metropolitan despite the province it's in. This is the city that continually re-elected a progressive "confirmed bachelor" Muslim mayor despite the city being in Alberta.
Good transit system and bike/walking path network too. There's even a public network of indoor walking paths in much of the downtown with enclosed bridges above the streets, called the plus 15 network. If one is careful about choosing where to live, it's pretty easy to avoid having to have a car in Calgary. And coffee lovers owe it to themselves to check out The Roasterie in the downtown neighbourhood of Kensington. They know how to roast beans right.
But fuck all the little bourgeois bedroom towns that cling to Calgary like the bloodsucking parasites that they are. Airdrie and Okotoks and Cochrane are glorified suburbs that only exist so that people who loathe the very concept of a real city have somewhere to live while they begrudgingly work in Calgary proper.
I think housing crises are unfortunately nationwide by now. It's been going on for so many years that we've settled into a sort of equilibrium where there's no place left with both plentiful decent jobs and affordable plentiful housing.
The trick with Montreal is in being fluent in french. Even if one could get around the city without it day to day, there's no way to avoid it when dealing with provincial services. I think that's what's really helped Quebec to be not so awful on the housing front.
IF YOU DONT GIVE ME THAT NEXT APPLETINI THEN ANTIFA WINS
Conservatives when their actions have consequences in any way:
boomer at the christmas party yelled at me for 15 minutes and told me i was woke for saying people who are unduly intoxicated have to be asked to leave.
I take delight in thinking about a drunk conservative Karen taking the pillows from the waiting couch and using them as a phallus. That's not a normative female role. Who's woke now, Karen??
Also, they have a file on her because she's a repeat offender.
They have , the Eggman and Ben Shapiro's Canadian doctor wife who is totally a real person that actually exists, so obviously they're not ok.
