Stay far away from this place. People literally die here/ get worse because their nursing staff is incompetent. Or a few long term/tenure ones are and have been allowed to ride free on a power trip. Some of the doctors are good but I know from first hand experience they’ve missed heart attacks, sepsis, and killed people due to negligence.

A data center power plant gets an okay in the province. They will be using quite a lot of energy. Prepare for prices to go up. More data centers, higher prices.

Enjoy the fact, especially you conservatives, but every time somebody does a Google search and gets an AI response.. we will all be paying for it. We're so smart.

I always see each of these parties differently in each province. A UCP in BC is more centrist than Alberta’s good ol UCP? BC UCP might be actually more like Carney than Smith? Maybe we will see more progress on that west coast pipeline?

Not politically savvy like some on here, just some shower thoughts..

Alright sorry to bother again but I need genuine advice on this role CTSC (Certified Transportation Safety Coordinator) which I am going to pursue before I end up paying $3k fees in total. I am switching entirely into a new field. Did some research on Youtube but couldn’t get much information about a real Job.

Background/Personal Info : Into 40s (male), worked as a Quality Supervisor, Operations/Management support and mostly worked for BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) and Call centre companies, you can say a Computer guy.

My Hesitations/Concerns:
1. Does this Job needs any Practical exposure for Transportation field or you learn while you study and work ?
2. Can a person from Non-transportation/Security field succeed as a CTSC ?
3. How does a normal day for a CTSC look like ?
4. Is it more of a Physical challenging Job ?
5. Does it have a Work life balance ?
6. I left studies long time ago so not good with Maths or any or any High Aptitude skills incase needed later either to clear any tricky Exam or on field.
7. Does it have a good pay scale if we continue building experience and get lucky with a decent company to work with?

My apologies for asking so many Qs but any tips from CTSC is appreciated ❤️

From Elections Alberta:

Delays in receiving and recording unofficial counts are due to procedural errors made in voting places on Election Day. Multiple voting areas, which are smaller divisions within an electoral division, can be served by a single voting place. Legislative changes made in 2025 require results for Election Day voting to be reported by voting area, rather than by voting place. To support this change and make that reporting possible, all voting place election officers were provided with, trained, and instructed to use one full set of ballot boxes for each voting area served in that voting place. There were many as 11 voting areas in a single voting place.

Several voting places across the province used one set of ballot boxes for all voting areas. Elections Alberta Returning Officers’ teams are able to separate most of the ballots based on the initials of the election officer who issued the ballot, which are contained on the back of each ballot. This is a very time-consuming process. The legislated requirement to hand-count all votes means this process is entirely manual.

Is this why one of the polling stations in Edmonton shut down for a while?

Why did so many polling stations make this mistake? Was training lacking?

I'm especially curious as many people seemed to be wary of special ballots, but based on the delays a polling station in my riding near me did this incorrectly with ballots cast on the 18th.

If anyone is without a family Dr or NP- I have recently moved my practice to the NW. I was born and raised in Calgary and have almost 3 decades of experience caring for patients and their families . I am currently accepting patients again and have a special interest in women’s health , fertility and pregnancy , babies and children and geriatrics .
Bowglen Medical Centre ask for Np Tyla if you are looking for a caring thorough female primary care provider .

For those who think visually, I made a map of the referendum results by riding: https://claude.ai/artifact/GvNpt86Mc7FU1NDXFGKaTo

How to use it:

• Drag the slider (or hit Play) to flip between the 10 questions and watch the colors change
• Blue = leaned Yes (Remain on Q10), red= leaned No. Paler = closer to 50/50
• Tap a riding for its numbers, or use the Calgary and Edmonton buttons to zoom in
• There are also maps for eligible voters and turnout

Try this: pick Question 1 (more provincial control over immigration), then under "Highlight strong results" choose Yes and set the slider to 100. Drag it down and watch the outlines spread. Rural Alberta lights up first. All 14 ridings at 70% Yes or more are outside Calgary and Edmonton, and neither city has a riding above 57%. Now do the same on Question 10 with Remain selected. The strongest Remain ridings are all in Edmonton and Calgary.

These are the unofficial Elections Alberta results as of October 26. I don't expect the final numbers to change dramatically.

My take: Q10 is the only question with a clear supermajority mandate, about 75% Remain. The best any other question did was 58% (proof of citizenship to vote). The government says 50 plus one is enough. I disagree, and I don't see a clear mandate for change on the rest. Just my interpretation.

My bf graduated June 2026 from nursing and he’s applied to almost 300 positions on AHS and covenant health and he’s gotten zero responses. No interviews at all and a whole bunch of rejections.

Help :(

Everyone, I'm dead curious what happened to that whole oil companies would go bankrupt in rural areas and would leave huge amounts of unpaid property taxes in their towns. I'm curious where the cash is going to come from, or do they just lose the services. I'm assuming the provincial government is going to cover it. Can someone confirm what happened?

We travel to the mountains from Calgary to ski on day trips and head to the Okanagan a couple times of year in both winter and summer. How has the travel been with all electric? Any issues? How has finding chargers been in your travels?

Also, did you have a level 2 charger installed at your house?

This topic is just not being talked about. I graduated a few months ago and I’m still unemployed (save for a summer job). I’m so sick of hearing about this referendum nonsense when real issues are just being kicked aside, both federally and provincially.
Does anyone have any advise as to what to do? I’m going mentally insane being at home all day with nothing to do other than to suck up to companies I don’t give a shit about.

For someone who is moving from NovaScotia, husband aiming to work as a Safety Coordinator and wife as Health Care Aid, which city would you recommend to move in from Edmonton/Calgary with not too high rent cost per month and still having access go School, Job sites and family places. Targeting monthly rent as $1200-1400 per month including basic amenities.

I am in need of a new auto insurance company. AMA sent me a letter on friday telling me to come in (or pay online) to renew my insurance. I got a letter today (sunday) saying it has been cancelled. Obviously this is entirely my fault but I unfortunately didnt have the funds available and i didnt realize how short the time frame was. I was going to go there tomorrow, considering I worked both weekend days during their open hours. Anyway, long story short, which companies do yall recommend? I realize my insurance will probably go up due to this but its fine. Let me know!!!

We’re BeTheChangeYYC, a registered Calgary charity providing volunteer-powered street outreach.

We recently launched Hear Their Voices YYC, an interview series focused on hearing directly from people who have experienced homelessness.
Our first episode features Graham, who previously experienced homelessness and now uses that experience to support others through frontline street outreach.

During the 35-minute conversation, Graham discusses the barriers he encountered when trying to find housing, moments of compassion that stayed with him, and what he wishes people understood about homelessness.
We believe conversations about homelessness in Alberta should include the people who have lived through it.

You can watch Graham’s full interview here:
https://youtu.be/iSeYaq6XLx0

For those living or working in Alberta, what practical changes do you think would make the greatest difference for someone trying to move from homelessness into stable housing?
We’re interested in hearing different perspectives and having a constructive discussion.

Not interested in arguments of pipeline good or bad. It is clear its a goal of Alberta premiers. With Con majority in BC, the federal memorandum, AND a pipeline on the national project status list, if they cant land this plane now they shouldn't ever have the trust of pro-resource development voters again.

I have an amazing English Lab with severe front leg arthritis and am looking for a quad wheel dog wheel chair for him. He is a large dog who weighs approx 100 lbs. Can travel across Alberta, please DM if you have one, really hoping someone in Calgary can help out here, definitely on a budget!

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Have been diagnosed with a bakers cyst in my knee. Had it drained in late June removed 10 cc. of fluid. By early September fluid had returned making it difficult to walk. Got back in mid October to have it drained again. This time 14 cc of fluid. Within a week the swelling has returned and I am again having difficulty with daily activities. My doctor seems reluctant to prescribe a MRI insisting it is arthritis. I am 69 years old and in fairly good health except for my knee. Question; How do I convince my doctor to give me an MRI I think there is something wrong other than arthritis.
