#Lloydminster

[allthecanadianpolitics]

Canadians came out in force to rally behind trans youth and protest a policy which would see youngsters forcefully outed to their parents.  Hundreds of people, including trans kids and their supportive families, gathered in the Saskatchewan cities of Saskatoon, Regina and Lloydminster in opposition to Bill 137, also known as the Parent’s Bill of Rights.  The legislation, which became law last week, was introduced by Saskatchewan Party education minister Jeremy Cockrill last week and outlines a number of rights parents have regarding their children’s education, including access to the pupil’s school file and being able to see what sexual-health content is being taught.  Controversially, the bill also contains a policy stating parental consent must be given for a pupil to use “their preferred name, gender identity, and/or gender expression” at school.

Mr. Rowswell: Mr. Speaker, after hearing opinions from Albertans across the province on the proposed Grassy Mountain steelmaking coal project, the main concerns raised have been about water quantity and selenium concentrations affecting water quality. To better understand the project I toured the site, and I urge all MLAs to do the same and speak to the CEO of Northback to better understand its plans for land reclamation and the benefits the project would bring to Crowsnest and southern Alberta.

Discovering Edmonton's Top Reliable Used Car Dealerships: Unveiling the Best

Essential Information Regarding the Finest Used Car Lots

Finding a dependable and reliable used car dealership in Edmonton can be as difficult as navigating through a labyrinth given the frenetic activity of the automotive industry in Edmonton.

In light of the increasing consumer expectations regarding the quality and dependability of pre-owned vehicles, this blog post aims to provide guidance by deconstructing the intricacies associated with identifying the most reputable used car dealerships in Edmonton.

In order to develop a guide for individuals who are considering an auto loan in Edmonton despite having poor credit or who are profiting from used vehicles in Lloydminster, it is necessary to examine the factors that influence responsibility and trustworthiness.

The perplexing nature of reliability in the context of used automobile license plates

From the standpoint of the automotive industry, trust is a currency similar to any other, and this is especially true for used vehicles. As opposed to a mere assurance, credibility is an actual guarantee that the dealership authentically considers the best interests of the customer. Consider a hypothetical partnership wherein dealerships and customers work together to build a bridge that is distinguished by reciprocal trust and regard.

Transparency and Sincere Disclosure Histories

A trustworthy used car dealership is characterized by its policy of transparently divulging information and vehicle histories. A dealership demonstrates a commitment to fostering confidence by willingly disclosing the maintenance logs, accident records, and any possible concerns associated with a pre-owned vehicle. The development of the narrative is effective in enabling consumers to examine used vehicles in Lloydminster with a sense of informed discernment.

Customer Testimonials as Indicators of Trust

Reflective in nature regarding trust, the experiences of individuals who have traversed similar paths are often consulted. Customer testimonials function as dependable indicators, providing insight into the dealership's unwavering commitment to guaranteeing customer satisfaction.

While perusing the used car dealership sector in Edmonton, prospective buyers utilize these endorsements as a compass, guiding them towards establishments that have successfully built customer trust.

An Essential Component of Self-Assurance in the Used Car Sector

Depreciation of used car dealerships extends beyond the quality of the vehicles on display. It demonstrates that the organization consistently maintains a very high standard of quality, adheres to business ethics, and is committed to delivering exceptional service. Consumers make automobile purchases with the dual purpose of ensuring the safety of their vehicles and cultivating a reputable relationship with the dealership.

Comprehensive Inspection Methods

The establishment of reliability is contingent upon the execution of rigorous inspection protocols that ensure the dealership stocks vehicles of exceptional quality.

A reputable automotive dealer will dedicate resources to conducting thorough inspections that include both mechanical and aesthetic elements. This commitment to comprehensive inspections astounds consumers looking for dependable used vehicles in Lloydminster.

Alternatives to Explicit and Comprehensible Financing

The dependability of the financing options becomes critical when considering the acquisition of a bad credit auto loan in Edmonton. A dealership that consistently delivers clear and understandable financing alternatives, even for those with inadequate credit, demonstrates reliability in meeting a diverse array of financial needs.

Incorporating a guarantee regarding the transparency and amenability of the financing process serves to augment the element of reliability.

Directions to the Leading Used Car Dealers in Edmonton

By applying the guiding principles of dependability and trustworthiness, we shall navigate the terrain of Edmonton with the intention of uncovering a selection of the most reputable used car dealerships that have garnered positive feedback from their clientele.

Drive Ease Auto earns the confidence of used car buyers.

DriveEase Auto is an esteemed used car dealership distinguished by its unwavering dedication to maintaining customer contentment and promoting transparency. As prospective buyers investigate used vehicles in Lloydminster, they encounter a dealership that is widely recognized for its ability to furnish comprehensive vehicle histories, transparent disclosures, and a plethora of positive customer testimonials.

DriveEase Auto has carved out a unique niche in the Edmonton automotive sector by instituting a corporate culture that places a premium on reliability and integrity.

This automotive dealership exhibits remarkable expertise in offering financing options that are both transparent and easily understood, thus catering to a diverse array of credit situations.

Dedication to guaranteeing customer satisfaction, comprehensive inspections, and transparent financing options are the cornerstones of dependability. DriveEase Auto and Edmonton Auto Loans are esteemed establishments that instill assurance in prospective buyers, empowering them to navigate the automotive sector with assurance and achieve their automotive goals.

Work is implementing this new thing where when they need officers in the small skeleton crew airports (like if someone goes on vacation or sick leave and needs coverage) they'll ask those of us in the major ones who wants to go for however long they need people and then we'll get flown out with a free hotel stay instead of trying to hire and retrain whole new officers for temporary positions. Sounded like a good way to break the monotony and then I saw the sign up board and it's currently only for grande prairie and lloydminster. Good god no

[battle-of-alberta]

Did you know that Alberta and Saskatchewan were once originally going to be one province named Buffalo?

for the purposes of this ask we are ignoring that Buffalo has become a bit of a buzzword for right wing western separatist parties :T; I wouldn't say it was "originally" going to be a combined province, it was just an idea that the wealthy and powerful ranchers across the southern districts really liked because it would help fuel their dream of turning the entire thing into grazing land for cattle.

Maddy did originally live in the district of Assiniboia and was sort of added to Alberta at the last minute, which is why she wasn't paying any attention to the battle to become capital of Alberta at all. Nowadays, the city of Lloydminster is the "closest" to Saskatchewan by virtue of literally being the only city in the country to span two provinces. There is a mural there to celebrate the 2005 centennial of the two provinces called Buffalo Twins.

We may not live together (as central Canada was too afraid of our potential combined awesomeness... surely) but our neighbour to the east is always borrowing our stuff anyways. Like our tendency towards austerity cuts, or Edmonton's entire lacrosse team >:'T tsk!

[rosaacicularis]

they’re canadian but they still have their accents so they argue about how to say z and talk about how warm it feels in -10 celsius weather . scar takes off his toque and grian proceeds to tease his awful hat hair while his glasses literally start condensing from the cold air

scar watched a bunch of american tv shows and grian almost exclusively watched winnie the pooh and peppa pig and that’s why they have the accents they do <3<3 they wear t-shirts and shorts when it’s -14°C. the get excited about -5°C in march <3<3 grian has a habit of stealing scars toques even when scar buys them matching ones <3<3

they remind each other to plug in their vehicles when it goes below -20°C. scar knows how to calculate celsius into fahrenheit very quickly and always does it to annoy grian. grian to combat this, almost always says the temperature in either kelvin or rankine <3<3

they both make fun of the province of quebec because it is their right as canadian citizens and have alberta rat control propaganda posters on their wall. they once took a road trip through saskatchewan just to make sure it was still flat (spoiler alert, it was). they made sure to gas up on alberta’s side of lloydminster so that it was cheaper <3<3

they go to the rocky mountains every now and then, not because they like mountains but because they want to see if they can win a fight against a mountain goat (spoiler alert, they cannot). they have never encountered one but one time the saw a moose and finally had a shred of common sense and hid in a bush until it was safe and clear <3<3

scar wants a pet polar bear, grian tries to tell him how dangerous it is. they go to churchill, manitoba (the polar bear capital of the world) to see an actual polar bear. this only spurs scar on <3<3

“GERMAN-BORN SOLDIER GIVEN TWO YEARS,” Barrie Examiner. June 11, 1942. Page 1. --- Had Unlawful Registration Card and Failed to Register as Alien ---- CAME TO CANADA, '29) --- Convicted of unlawfully having in his possesin a registration certificate which was not issued to him, a 30-year-old soldier. Eric Horace Brandt, was given a term of two years in Portsmouth Penitentiary by Magistrate Compton Jeffs yesterday morning, and on a, second charge of failing to register as an alien between December. 1941, and  April of 1942, was given twelve: months to run concurrently.

When apprehended on April 15, he was in A-9, Canadian Armoured Corps (Advanced) Training Centre. (at Camp Borden, under the name of Reuben Schilski.

Constable James N. Clish of the" R.C.M.P. Toronto, detailed to investigate the case, told that he found that Brandt was born in Germany and came with his parents to Canada in 1929. After war broke out he enlisted in the Canadian army while living with his family at Lashtown. Sask.. in February, 1940, but was discharged in June, 1940, on a nominal excuse of being under age. At that time he was suspected of being pro-Nazi.

Witness stated that in November, 1941, he received permission to. move to Vancouver, but turned up later at North Battleford. Sask.. stayed overnight with a friend, Reuben Schilski, took the friend's registration certificate, and enlisted at Lloydminster under that name.

While at Camp Borden he had been in Toronto and registered at the Metropole Hotel as Roy Davis.. His father was believed to be in the German army.

The accused, of slight, build and normal appearance, told in detail his actions since 1927, when he claimed the family came to Canada. To the statutory question regarding church affiliation his reply. was, "My father is a Lutheran." He also told that he had been notified to return to Germany before war broke out with the assurance that after six months' labor camp and two year's army camp, he would be allowed to return to Canada, but he had decided to stay here. He had written asking for a guarantee of return but had received no reply.

To a question of Crown Attorney Frank Hammond, he stated that he had not taken the matter seriously but could easily have gone back to the German army if he had wished.

Mr. Hammond's view of the case was that the background gave it more serious proportions. The young man was not acting foolishly and if he had been doing so we could not afford to take a generous view:

"He is a potential danger," the Crown said.

Magistrate Jeffs thought that the situation looked like a need for internment.

So, using the database of Community Census Profiles I have on my computer (we all have that, right?), I wanted to see what the most popular language spoken at home that wasn't English or French by municipality. Et voila:

Notes:

This uses Census Subdivisions (CSDs), which are mostly lower-tier/single-tier municipalities, or their equivalents.

I limited things to CSDs with a population over 10,000

The table lists all CSDs where the relevant language is spoken at home by over 5% of the population

There was no CSD where English is not the first or second language; there are plenty where French was not.

"Metro Vancouver A" is UBC and various other bits of Greater Vancouver.

The languages in the table are: German, Iranian Persian, Mandarin

Pennsylvania German, Punjabi, Tagalog, Urdu, Yiddish, and Yue (Cantonese)

If the table went down to 1%, it would add Arabic, Atikamekw, Innu (Montagnais), Korean, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Tamil, and Vietnamese.

Tagalog is also the second-most popular language on the Alberta side of Lloydminster, but is only at 1.4%.

"Iranian Persian" is Fasri, as opposed to the versions of Persian in Afghanistan (Dari), Tajikistan (Tajik), or Azerbaijan and the Causcases (Tat/Tati Persian). One can note that those countries/areas correspond the last Persian Empire, and that a language is a dialect with an army. Statistics Canada decides what counts as a language here, not me.

You probably don't know another language if you live in the United States and both you and your parents were born here unless you go out of your way to learn it. This is a problem of geography more than it is a moral failing because if you are an American, then learning another language is not immediately useful to you. This is because your options in school are as follows:

Spanish: Second most common language in America. Most people who speak it also speak English and will look at you funny if you know Spanish and will not appreciate you being able to eavesdrop on their conversations. But, it's the only non-English language with an appreciable population of native speakers that you can encounter without getting on a plane. However in all likelihood you will probably be taught by a non-native speaker who could not pass an A1 exam and you will learn no Spanish just the same as everyone else.

French: The only French speakers in North America probably don't want to talk to you ever, and if you speak non-Quebecois French at them they really won't want to. You are probably going to major in literary studies and spend the rest of your life pretending to read books no one else actually reads. You have opinions on Freud and Lacan.

German: No one in North America speaks German as their primary language. It's really only useful if you like philosophy or World War II history or want to move to Germany. You probably really like beer and will study abroad and be really annoying about it afterward. But most Germans you are likely to meet outside of Germany speak English somewhat well so you aren't really doing anything for yourself? So most people will also think you're a Wehraboo or worse unless you are Jewish.

Russian: You already speak Russian or another Slavic language at home and will insist that you do not up until the first day of class, when you and all of your classmates will spend the entire time gossiping with the professor in Russian. The few American kids will hang out in the back and probably talk about Dostoevsky and drink vodka out of their water bottles. Everyone will get an A and no one will learn anything new.

Mandarin Chinese: You (or more likely your parents) think "we'll all be speaking Chinese in twenty years" and so you want to get a head start. This attitude self-selects against people who will ever need to know Mandarin. You probably idolize Ezra Pound and use phrases like "command economy" unironically. Every single person from China who has ever met you hates your guts.

Japanese: You are a weeb. All of your classmates are weebs. Your professor may or may not be a weeb, but wants to die regardless. You'll probably give up halfway through the first semester along with the most annoying 80% of the class and switch to Spanish once you realize how hard it is to learn Japanese.

Korean or Arabic: Congratulations on your new job at [redacted]!

Pashto or Urdu or Farsi: Congratulations on your new job at [redacted], but also I really doubt you are supposed to be telling anyone that you are learning this language. Good luck on your future job search.

Navajo: Most Navajo people don't speak any Navajo and unless you live in New Mexico you will literally never meet someone who is Navajo. They don't want to talk to you anyway. I don't think many people ever even try to learn this, this is solely on this list because I've seen insane but clueless Europeans try to guilt Americans for not learning it for some incomprehensible reason.

Latin: Latin is a dead language. I'm sure you are tired of hearing about that by now, which is why I reminded you about it. Even Catholics will make fun of you now for learning this. Your parents probably want you to be a doctor, and will stop talking to you when you drop out of med school. Or maybe you're a classics student who will spend the rest of your life incorrecting historians about pissing contests no one cared about anyway. Go forge a historical demonology book or get off to a picture of Thomas Aquinas or Cicero or something, I don't know.

Ancient Greek: Oh, are you a theology student or something learning Biblical Koine? The Evangelical Christians don't care what the bible actu- ...No? You're learning Attic Greek? And you're not like, a linguistics or classics major or something, you chose to do this specifically. Hey, uh, are you doing anything later? Or right now, even?

Mr. Rowswell: Mr. Speaker, over the summer many Albertans saw their lives turned upside down as forest fires ravaged parts of our beautiful province. Many communities were hit hard by these fires, and my heart goes out to all those that were affected. I would like to thank the fearless firefighters and first responders, that selflessly put their own lives at risk to help their fellow Albertans. They are truly heroes.

But, unfortunately, this summer and over the past few days we have heard some people, including some of the members opposite such as the Leader of the Opposition, use these tragic fires to drive a political message. These people often argue that climate change was the cause of these fires. They told us that wildfires were getting worse year after year and that there was no end in sight. We heard that our planet was quite literally burning up because Albertans dared to heat their homes and drive their cars and that this was the cause of all the destruction and loss.

Well, Mr. Speaker, I decided to verify these claims for myself, and I found a few interesting facts worth sharing with the Assembly today. For instance, according to the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre, which is jointly owned and operated by Canada’s federal, provincial, and territorial governments, the average number of hectares burned per year in Alberta over the past five years is less than each of the averages for the past 10 years, the past 20 years, and the past 25 years, which is as far back as the data goes. The same is true for individual fires in our province. They have reduced in numbers over the past five years, less than the historical average.

I ask everyone in the Assembly today: does that sound like evidence of a crisis to you? I personally don’t think so, and neither do my constituents. Rather, while we may be coming out of a particularly bad fire season, the overall trend of wildfires is stable, even declining if anything. In fact, in light of this evidence I call on all members of this Assembly to recognize that Alberta’s great energy sector is not causing wildfires.
