To the stupid people that go and get a cat from the animal shelter because it’s free then let it out every morning to **** in everyone’s garden,flower bed and lawn keep the fu$king useless pieces of **** in your house and buy a litter box

I hate that!! Just as bad a neighbors that let their dog bark constantly! People need to treat/control animals accordingly.

This is a HUGE issue of mine, thinking of buying a pellet gun or some subsonic .22 rounds...

Some good post guys, from car horn locks to clucking shelter cats, this too sets me off! But today the icing on the cake is Sunday drivers. Worked this weekend and have to travel 2hrs one way...can we at least do the speed limit, 20-30 km under the speed limit is not close. I ready to push these fkers right of the road.
miller time.��

Nah. Skunk type live trap coated with grease on the inside. Release the cat to go back to it's owner in the morning.

Hummm I never thought of that. Couple of drops of pure ethyl mercaptan odorant on the fur would do wonders as well.
No ive never done that BTW. Lol

I personally hate remote door locks, only manufacturer smart enough to automatically lock the doors on an unintended unlock is Honda or Make the transmitter a two way.

Yes I have accidentally unlocked my truck putting my keys in my pocket, and did not know it.

I don't mind the remote, but could do without the noise.

Every socialist, NDP lover AUPE member (as well as EVERY govt employee/politician) needs to be spoon fed this information so they know why drastic changes are needed - why and where nd now!
Civil servants - they work for and are paid for by the people - they are not above the people who foot the bills as they so believe.
There is some serious balancing required using privatization.

Alberta’s Blue Ribbon Panel Report (for full report click here)
Alberta’s Finances: Summary


  • Purpose is to improve Alberta’s competitive position and achieve sustainable financial solutions, all at a reasonable cost to taxpayers.
  • Over the past 25 years Alberta’s spending per capita has been the highest in Canada.
  • Per capita spending in 2017 by Alberta was $13,819, BC was $10,285, Ontario $10,281 and Quebec $13,539. The average (excluding Alberta) was $11,368.
  • Alberta’s annual expenditures would be $10.4 billion less if its per capita spending matched the average of spending of BC, Ontario and Quebec – and we would not have a deficit.
  • Today our provincial debt is $60 billion, $13,773 for every Albertan and estimated to be $102 billion by 2022/23 or $22,070.
  • This year we will spend $2.0 billion (3.5%) of the budget on interest, increasing to $3.7 billion (5.9%) by 2022/23. The 2022/23 interest payment could pay for 30,000 more teachers or 35,000 long term care beds.
  • Cuts around the edges won’t get Alberta back to a sustainable balance budget.
  • Greater hostility by interest groups to energy developments generally will add uncertainty in preparing our budgets and will not likely get any simpler in the near future.
  • Noteworthy: cost of living for a family with an income of $75,000 which includes provincial income tax, health premiums, sales tax, gasoline tax utility costs, electricity, telephone and auto insurance is $7,673 in Calgary, $9,905 in Vancouver, $13,460 in Toronto and $11,074 in Montreal.
Alberta’s Health Stats


  • Ontario and BC have made progress in transforming their health care systems from the 20th century to the 21st century model.
  • In 2018/19, the Alberta spent $20.4 billion on health care, which represents 42% of our budget.
  • Health care spending per capita in 2018; Alberta $5,077, BC $4,267, ON $4,080 and QC $4,370. Note: Alberta has the youngest population, with fewer people over 65. (AB at 5.2% vs ON at 7.4%, BC at 7.6% and QC at 8%). Consequently, Alberta’s health care costs should be lower, not higher.
  • Deaths from major cardiovascular diseases per 100,000 population; AB 195.2, BC 174.5, ON 163.0 and QC 150.1
  • Deaths from intentional self-harm (suicide) per 100,000 population; AB 15.2, QC 10.4, ON 10.0 and BC 9.7
  • Wait times from GP referral to treatment (in weeks) AB 26.1, BC 23.2, QC 15.8 and ON 15.7. Note: 100% of Alberta patients receive radiation therapy within medically accepted wait times; only 49% cataracts patients are treated within medically acceptable times.
  • Alberta spent $8.7 billion on hospitals which represents 42.6% of Health’s budget. Note the average daily cost of: 1) hospital bed is over $1,000, 2) long term care is $203 and 3) home care is less than $50.
  • Saskatchewan moved 34 day procedures from hospitals to private clinics as part of its strategy to reduce wait times and saved an estimated 26%
August Employment


  • Canada gained 81,000 net jobs in August vs expected 15,000
    • 23,800 full time and 57,200 part time
    • Average earnings up 0.4% vs expected 0.3% m/m, with y/y at 3.2% vs 3.0%
  • US added 130,000 jobs in August vs expected 160,000 with unemployment unchanged at 3.7%
Tidbits


  • Canadian school boards continue to rewrite the rules on dress code, emphasizing student choice instead of “modesty is the best policy”; students are happy and parents are wary.
  • Whitehouse considers revoking California’s right to establish tougher pollution laws.
  • Think-tank Carbon Tracker says major oil companies have approved $50 billion of projects since 2018 that aren’t compatible with the Paris Agreement on climate change.
  • President Putin said Russia will produce missiles banned under the nuclear pact but won’t deploy unless the US does so first.

Here's my rant of the day. CBC news should be charged with election interference. Every day since election was called their coverage has cast Scheer in a negative light and focus on the negative aspects of his platform. While for Trudeau the articles are either neutral or positive. Even when the Trudeau storyline has a negative aspect they populate the article with great photos of the Shiny Pony in action. It blatantly corrupt and pisses me off.

Chadd’s rant.

Ran into superstore to grab a couple bags of chips and a bucket of peanuts. 3 items. Get to the express line we’re there is a sign that says 1-16 items. Well here’s a lady with about 70 items on the counter. Gave her the benefit of the doubt and got in line behind her. What does she do......pulls out her coupon book. My f..............uck. So I took a deep breath and stood there. I also needed cash back so I just hung there cause the self checkouts don’t do cash back. In closing, this is why minimum wage was down around $10. Neither the teller or this lady obviously knows how to count or read. Estimated time in line 18 minutes.

Rant over.

ah yes couponers- and once you realize you are in line behind one it’s too late as other customers are in line behind you. On top of the lineup supposedly for just a few items.:mad:

I got stuck behind a lady in Salmon Arm this summer. Probably 15min to ring in a hundred bucks. Saved like 5$. Waited for a manager to come drop 15cents off some peppers. I was just about to give her 20$ to walk away.
