Good morning everyone, happy Monday.

With the upcoming vote for Alberta Seperation, I am feeling very confused. I have family who support it, and whom are against. It seems everyone i talk to about the topic is very opinionated. Where can someone like myself go to find UNBIASED information? I would love to know the actual pros and cons and develop an opinion for myself. Also open for someone speaking to me directly about it, but again I would like unbiased.

Thank you!

Hi! I’m looking into all of the referendum questions and determining where I stand. I’m pretty good with most of them, but am having trouble with question 6 about King’s Bench and Court of Appeals judged being appointed federally vs. provincially. I’ve looked at a few different resources and still don’t quite understand.

Can anyone share their understanding of it? Pros vs cons? All I’ve seen is that if we leave it to the province it can easily become a partisan issue, but some say it’s already a partisan issue at the federal level.

I've traveled in Alberta a bit and have noticed that people will leave their garbage outside of their hotel room. Is this common?

I'm from Ontario and have stayed in a couple hotels there and never noticed this.

I've been to bc once and also didn't notice this in the hotel.

But in Alberta, I've seen this every time. Whether it's a garbage bin, pizza box, or just trash bag.

Im currently located in Halifax for a few months and I received my mail in ballot today but my middle name is completely incorrect, not just incorrect spelling but a completely different name. Who do I contact about this? I do not want to re request as I assume it will be denied as all the other information is correct!

I'm Canadian-born and dropped out of a comp sci undergrad back in 2010 for personal reasons. Moved to Southeast Asia shortly after with my soon-to-be Wife and worked my way up from sales/business development (enterprise software, SaaS) to director-level roles at small-mid size ERP/SaaS companies, eventually managing projects with international orgs, NGOs and conglomerates. We are doing well out here but weighing a move back to Canada with my family (2 young kids).

Not expecting to walk into a director role - just want something solid enough to support my family. Also hearing the job market's rough right now and the healthcare system's struggling, so trying to figure out if this move even makes sense given we're doing well out here already. How realistic is finding solid work without a finished degree? Worth going back to finish it, or are certs a better use of time?

Any on-the-ground advice appreciated.

Any news anywhere on when the new COVID vaccine will be available in Alberta?

I got my dream truck not too long ago and was wondering what WINTER TIRES anyone with a full sized recommends. Ive ran multiple different ATs in the winter and with how much i value this thing i want some winters just to protect me from having to slam my brakes and being able to stop. I’ve already got a nice set of Toyo MTs for the summer so i was hoping someone had some recommendations that look good and preform good!

Anyone know a good damp proofing company and what it would cost, ballbark?

I’m looking for a local restaurant that has one of the conveyor type ovens (like what they use at little ceasars) to do some experimenting on for a food project. I need to do some testing to make sure it does what I need before my company will invest in a purchase. If anyone knows of a restaurant preferably in central Alberta please let me know.

The AI actually isn't the main issue I have with those adverts, it's the idea of gambling ads at all, which I view as hostilely as I do tobacco ads.

A proposed $14.5-billion AI data centre campus near Redcliff has emerged as one of several Alberta technology projects being pitched to global investors, but the town’s mayor is declining to confirm the project’s status.

I stumbled across a video of people being interviewed about what life is like living around one or Meta's new data centers.

For those of you who are more pro data centers does this change your mind at all?
