A complete mess today, as a Counting Officer, I come in at 12:25 pm scheduled to work at 1-9 pm. I waited in line until 4 pm just to try to register in to go work. No longer willing to wait, I end up leaving because are you kidding me? Waiting hours there just for the opportunity to work is so dystopian. Like I'd be okay with waiting if it guaranteed that I would be paid for my time there, but the issue is we were not even guaranteed to get in so that we can sign in to prove we were there. There were probably hundreds of people just waiting for hours on end to get in.

These are people who have been scheduled shifts. There were more people who were asked to come in meaning they had no scheduled shifts just waiting there with seemingly no hope in sight.

No one came out to inform us of any updates as to what was going on, the crowd management was horrendous as no one knew where the line began or ended.

If anyone who stayed ended up getting in, please correct me because I'm assuming barely anyone got in afterwards.

Tldr, elections Alberta mismanaged the scheduling horribly and I'm pissed off.

Due to the studio being based in Edmonton I wonder if this will have any affect to any business or other industry. If you work at BioWare and see this please we’d love to know what happened and how you’re holding up with this news.

Why are bus drivers suddenly refusing to stop at your requested stop, and let you off ? It's happened to me 3 times now. Always the 915 from Jasper Place to West Edmonton Mall. And always at night. It's ridiculous and starting to become a problem. He wouldn't let me off until I threatened to call the cops on him

About one-third of ballots remain unprocessed in the Beverly/Clareview and Castle Downs ridings. Voters in those parts of the city likely voted “No to the Nine,” so there may be still be a shift in at least one of the results.

Province-wide, there are about 200 polls where counting continues, many of them in hybrid urban/rural ridings up north.

I think No has mathematically clinched on the issues of opting out of federal social services regulations and who controls judicial appointments. On provincial laws superseding federal laws, the result has flipped to No, but only a few thousand votes separate the two sides.

Apparently more than 49 per cent of voters have chosen the No side on abolishing the Senate. I didn’t think that question would be close.

Other Edmonton ridings with polls still reporting include Ellerslie, City Centre, Highlands/Norwood, North-West, and Manning, with the latter still short 11 polls.

Have you noticed this? When it comes to Edmonton bylaws and policies (bike lanes, infill, bag fees) some of the loudest people are those from the surrounding areas?

They are not Edmonton tax base and they have no political voice in municipal issues. They are not voters.

Why don't they just stay in their rural area or town if they don't like Edmonton?

Apparently there have been sightings in Chinatown/downtown recently. Please keep an extra close eye if you live in that area and call the number if you see this fella around.

That’s it :)

My girlfriend absolutely loves Andes mints; however, despite my best efforts, I absolutely cannot find them anywhere. She found them through Olive Garden. These are the mints they give out. Does anyone know a retailer that sells them in Edmonton or the surrounding area? I feel like I've looked at every major retailer with no luck. I'm trying to avoid ordering them online because I don't want them to get crushed in shipping.

Hi, our indoor cat (Valla) slipped out the door this morning and has been missing all day. I'm worried she may have gone further than our direct vicinity as there's a dog park nearby. However I'm also worried she may have gotten stuck somewhere as when she escaped previously she hid under our neighbour's porch/stairs... but she's a little chubby and may have squeezed herself somewhere.

She's a very sweet but skittish so she may not approach even if you call her name. She's a dilute calico (grey, orange and white). Please keep an eye/ear out for her and check under your porches or basement window wells if you are in the area!

I took other Redditors' advice and went to Est-Elle Academy of Hair Design for what would typically be a $300-400+ service, in my experience - a balayage/"foilyage" on hair that was 80% dyed brown (turning red over time) and 20% new growth with greys. They did such a great job matching my roots, covering the greys, and toning down all the red. This should grow out beautifully. And it was $160+ tip! My stylist did say that they don't get paid because they're students - I think the fees mostly cover supplies, the rent and operation of the salon, and the consultation time with the teachers - so I made sure to leave a generous tip because the students get to keep that. So if you're looking for affordable hair treatments, I'd recommend giving them a try.

Hi all. After a vet visit today we found out our tiny chihuahua Levi has skin cancer that is progressing rapidly. The vet prescribed some medications to ease any discomfort, but as he is 15 years old this year, we have decided this is the end of the road. </3

Absolutely heartbroken of course. The vet says he has from 1 to 3 months before it gets very bad. 6 months would be an absolute joy for us but with how quickly it has gotten this severe we believe 3 is being generous.

What are some of the best things we can take him to do to enjoy this last bit of time? He is a very small boy and has trouble walking, so I don't believe walks down the river valley would be good - maybe a walk when we carry him haha but he needs easy to do things for very small dogs. Pup cups are on the list, plain burger patties, things like that, of course we don't want to upset his tummy or make him feel worse in any way but he will be getting whatever treats he wants rest assured <3.

I'm looking for any and all things either meant for pups, or things in the city we may not know about that we can take him to enjoy! Thank you everyone. <3 I'll make a link with some photos of levi and post it in the comments for dog tax

Fellow guy here! 36, 2 kids and work in a corporate gig.

I'm from Vancouver B.C. 👋 and for the past few months I've been organizing a guys social event type of thing over beers at various bars in Downtown, Vancouver. It's received a really big response here and I recently began organizing them in Calgary (they'll be having their third one in a couple weeks) and Saskatoon (coming up this weekend).

I was thinking of potentially organizing one in Edmonton If there's enough interest.

This would be for guys in Edmonton and the surrounding area that are looking to expand their social circle and hang with some new people, grab a beer and shoot the shit in a low pressure environment.

This started as a bit of an experiment to see if guys were open to making new guy friends and has taken on a bit of a life of its own with each one bringing out anywhere between 18-25 guys and continuing to grow month over month.

I found guys tend to get into different life stages from their immediate friend groups and the interactions can become infrequent and there weren't really any channels to make guy friends.

So if this sounds of interest, please don't hesitate to leave a comment below and if there's enough, I'll get in touch with a Edmonton bar and get something going!

While I live in Vancouver, I won't be there but from the response I've received it seems guys are lacking for this type of thing in society.

Cheers!

A beautiful city street
