What’s bugging you? What makes you happy? Tell us about it.
The Edmonton Oilers — a place where top draft picks go to die a slow, painful and very public death. I have a crazy idea, why not put some hockey people in charge of a hockey team? Just saying.
Way to go, Edmonton Oilers fans. It was fantastic to see the “surge of orange” at Rexall Place on Thursday night.
What kind of stupid is it to compare a man with a beard to a woman wearing a niqab? If a man has a beard I can identify him by his nose, mouth, ears, scars or tattoos, earrings, colour of his beard and shape of his lips. This is like comparing apples and oranges.
I absolutely love the new neighbourhood mailboxes. Pick up your mail and dispose of the non-addressed flyers right into the outgoing mail slot. Excellent idea and great way to recycle. Thanks, Canada Post.
Why won’t media tell us about contents of Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement, now that government has released detailed summaries? Apparently it calls for increased internet surveillance, extending public domain in copyright so the entertainment companies can make more money, and exempts many polluters from liability.
After my vacation to San Diego, I’m “Uber-sold.” Uber drivers were prompt and nice, the vehicles were new and clean, the app worked great, half the price of a cab. In the single cab ride we took, the driver “forgot” to turn on the meter, estimated the fare, then insisted on cash because the Visa equipment wouldn’t work.
A recent quote in the Edmonton Journal about sterile urban life may help to explain a profound and fundamental difference in Alberta lifestyles. With all due respect, as a city dweller my preference is for a safe environment.
Scary thought – Justin Trudeau as prime minister and Donald Trump as president of the U.S. Heaven help us.
Why is it on every local television station news anchors and reporters pronounce the name of our city, “Ed-Minn-Tinn?” Perhaps they should read the spelling of our city’s name and then learn how it is correctly pronounced?
Can we change the definition of “senior”? I’m 55 and in no way consider myself a senior.
All Albertans can sympathize with a family who experience the tragic death of children. In a broader context Canadians may well ask themselves does a safe environment necessarily mean a sterile environment.
I had to laugh at the comment by Justin Trudeau that he would challenge Putin. Sending Trudeau to face Putin would be the equivalent of sending Cinderella in to face Al Capone. Trudeau is just fluff on the world stage.
If Trudeau gets in remember NEP. Alberta will be lost.
What’s the story on 60-year-old women dyeing their hair blue and purple?
