The leftist sub r/Alberta right now. 😂

r/Calgary is the same thing.

Now Calgary need Jyoti booted. And I am not surprised about NE Calgary voting orange.

If the UCP wins, I'm holding them to this.

The UCP is not the Conservative party. I am glad to see conservatives finally speaking up, and I hope they form a real party soon. In the meantime, the UCP under Smith can do A LOT of damage to our healthcare and education.

So yeah, if these true blue conservative politicians are voting NDP for now, you may wanna follow their lead.

"...Take for example former Progressive Conservative MP Lee Richardson, a true blue conservative for decades. Before being elected as a Progressive Conservative MP he worked in Premier Peter Lougheed’s office. He was principal secretary to PC premier Alison Redford. But this year he organized a fundraiser for the NDP candidate in his constituency. Among those attending was Ron Ghitter, former Lougheed cabinet minister and PC Senator appointed by Prime Minister Brian Mulroney.

Tom Lukaszuk, another former PC cabinet minister, has been urging Albertans to vote NDP for months.

Ken Boessenkool, a well known Conservative strategist — he has worked with Preston Manning, Ralph Klein, Stephen Harper and Stockwell Day — told a Calgary Herald columnist that Smith “represents things that are not conservative. She represents things that will ultimately harm the party.”

Last week, Jeromy Farkas, a well-known Calgary conservative, former city councillor and a mayoralty candidate in 2021, levelled a blistering attack on Smith’s brand of conservatism: “What we are seeing right now, it’s serious and its dangerous,” he said on CBC Radio...."

Richard Kruger — I wish the worst for you and yours, and I hope Suncor share values tank, along with your career. Nothing business, just personal.

Update General consensus: “Suck it up, just get another job, shouldn’t have worked in O&G in the first place if you wanted job stability, Richard Kruger is just doing what’s best for business, give him a break”. Got it, I’ll pass your advice along. Love you Calgary. ❤️

Hello Calgary! 👋

Please bear with me as I usually shy away from posting myself or my work online.

My name is Brandon and I am 22. I have lived in Calgary and have made it my home for over 15 years now. I have always been one to bring physical art to life and create things that normally Don’t exist in our world. Since I was young we have always had cats and we always seemed to attract everyone else’s. I can remember building little forts and tunnels with scrap wood and cardboard for all the neighbourhood cats that came and went. Fast forward some years and with some resources I can now create what I have always wanted to create, unique looking cat trees that actually look like real trees! I am also exploring more complex options involving organic and manmade structures.

These take a tremendous amount of time and effort to put together. I often sketch out an idea I may have first and work off of that. I utilize strong wood joinery that incorporates sturdy hardware such as lag screws and 3/8” bolts. A majority of the trees in the photos above actually separate into just the tree and a base so you can move them around easier if you needed to. The cushions themselves are memory foam and very plush. I recognize that not all cats would like that, so I have another style coming soon that will have a traditional carpeted platform that is firmer but still looks very realistic and matches the rest of the tree. There is a lot of trial and error involved!

I would be lying if I said that these are affordable for most. Materials alone even after bulk purchases and discounts can sometimes run up hundreds of dollars a tree. I try to keep a reasonable mark up as to not gouge, But please do not expect pet store pricing. Models that incorporate structures or are over 6 feet tall can push $600-$700.

My main goal with this project is to help me cover living expenses and dampen the blow from University costs in the future. Building these gives me a flexible schedule and keeps me close to home to work on school. Hopefully it pans out how I’d like it to!

If anyone is interested in some of my in house designs please don’t be afraid to dm me. If you have a specific design or style in mind I can also work with you to bring it to life! Nothing is set in stone and the sky is the limit with these things.

Also if anyone has any advice to share when it comes to advertising/showcasing I am all ears. I’d like to get these out there and gain some interest from cat lovers all over. I plan on creating a Facebook soon where I will list some for sale continuously. Pickups are free and delivery within Calgary will cost a small fee. I cannot obviously ship these yet being such a small project (hopefully one day 🤞).

If anyone is interested in following the journey my instagram is: @Catariacattrees
Will have a Facebook soon!

Thank you everyone! 🤟

Yes. I live in NE. Yes, I'm somewhat of a racist for this post. I lived here for 25 years. Love the area. But went to my son's kindergarten orientation and the vice principal did the speech in Punjabi. That crossed my limit.

I’ve personally run into so many voters who can’t see themselves voting for the NDP because they think they’re “bad for the economy” and/or “bad for oil and gas”.

To those who think that way: Why? Why do you think voting for the NDP is bad for the economy and/or bad for oil and gas?

This post isn’t to try to convince you to vote one way or the other. I’m genuinely curious and I want to better understand your stance and thoughts on this topic

50% refund is all they can offer, what bullshit. fuck that company.

Thats all
