 🤢🤮 🤢🤮 What’s my opinion of the trades, for every sixth retiring trades people 2 are replacing them that’s how proficient and efficient trades have gotten. they have a endless pool of youth to pick out of is…. Not everyone are going to be tradespeople…. Actually most are jobs that are growing in America are in services, hospitality, retail. They are poorly paid in an era of knowledge. how about lifting minimum wage? And let me tell you there is an underlying problem of to many men getting hurt in the trades and just disappear with no one asking where or when or what happen, I know Nigel Shenton 5% of the population make min wage, those are entry level jobs, if you are a grown adult making min wage, the problem is you. Dwayne Ball, you’re suggesting I should reset to minimum wage or entry-level apprentice pay for four years just to "earn" a livable wage? You’re essentially saying I should do the hardest physical labor for a quarter of the pay just to exist in a working ...

Child labor and Republicans wanting to raise birth rates  Whereas raising social security or prosperity security  In education or maternity leave or higher wages, birth control or reproductive Rights bring middle class has not increased the birth rate Just got to look at the foreign influence that's trying to break up North America and America  To look like South America The only benefit is to the corporate identity robbing the public using as much State bureaucracy moral servants,  destitution makes the worst come out of people... You know what child labor looks like in Bolivia that's landlocked with a lot of oil  A new car has a $10,000 tax added on to it so cars don't depreciate  Think of a used vehicle, not depreciating and a $10,000 tax on every vehicle being imported into Alberta would cost... Gets pretty perverted and disgusting very quickly  For child labor and destitution does..... An Epstein culture that Danielle Smith is covering Trump and E...

 Parents want there kids to learn to read, to write, to do math.... They don't want them to become social justice warriors -Danielle Smith  I heard it was a compliment to rewrite essays and tests  That means the teacher wants the best out of you  Same with a bad score  It's a badge to learn and try harder  Stop making excuses That's the critical thinking skill. Is it to rewrite your essay and do it again and again and again?  I call BS  Bees don't tell flies. Stop eating s*** Saying I'm hearing you say students can't think critically over this..... And if they're told that they got a bad score, they're a bad person  Perhaps maybe that's set up to fail syndrome?  Pissant semantics.  How about misinformation?  And fractured information theory  Ambiguity is the leaders most toxic tool.  How is this helping the Premier cuts the funding for schools  And then project it as woke theory that's actually damaging  All...

  Coca-Cola selling confidence and friends and family and outings. They're not selling you a sugary beverage. That's cool. And iced or a refreshment? The government is selling confidence and friends and outings??? With morale officers as constituents, saying things don't exist when there right there  Oh that's refreshing, and cool!!! BS is hazardous to our health  Bees don't tell flies. Stop eating s*** More Americans are coming. Trying to say to Alberta that they're native and here for Canada to work but then wanting us Alberta to go to the United States  It's a complete oxymoron look  Now they have data breaches and bracketing a prejudice for the swing voter and programmed responses to indoctrinate the swing voter who has a 6th grade reading level and doesn't understand financials managements that have a grade 11 or 12 reading level  And they're programmed; Responses are going to be on impulse and distraction for a programmed response #NDP #UCP Mi...

  I don’t usually like to get into the weeds on here, but there comes a point where staying silent feels like an abdication of responsibility. The "prosperity" we’re told we have is being hollowed out, and it’s a failed policy being used to justify even worse ideas. I’m seeing a massive shift in the landscape: the modern "Conservative" movement has abandoned its roots, leaving a vacuum where common-sense stability used to be. If we don't have security at the base of our lives, we lose the ability to engage in the things that make us human—reading, art, and community. We’re being bracketed by prejudice and data breaches while the people in charge control the narrative. It’s time to wake up. The labels are lying to you. It's projections where in, that going to make debt  insolvency a decades problem in Alberta Prompts to get the written post above is below 👇  I've been engaging in political talk on Facebook  Mostly cuz I'm surprised like I read a hund...

  Let’s talk about the math they aren’t showing you. 🧮 There’s a lot of noise about "devaluing currency" (like the Finland/Euro debate) or "competitive markets," but look at the ground reality in Canada. In Quebec, corporate flight was real, and the housing correction was the only thing that balanced it out. Now, look at Alberta: we have doctors warning that private care will cannibalize the public system, yet the push for "for-profit" continues. The math doesn't add up: Private Insurance is a Trap: In the States, care is a legal and financial waiting game. Unless you are in the top wealth bracket, you aren't "buying care," you're buying a delay. Investment Mismatch: Every global bank is pivoting away from oil, yet our public dollars are being used to consolidate a sector that is being outpaced by tech at a ratio of 80 to 1. The Bottom Line: Growth in our economy right now is tied to birth rates and immigration, not these massive cor...

  Headline: We aren't the customers; we’re the harvest. We’ve traded a room full of VHS tapes, Walkmans, and secretaries for a sleek rectangle in our pockets. We call it "efficiency," but it’s a false dichotomy. This device isn't just a tool; it’s a surveillance hub that predicts our impulses before we even feel them. Orwell warned of a boot stamping on a human face, but Postman saw the truth: we are being amused to death. We’ve become commodities for Wall Street narratives—our data, our behavior, and our very character are sold for pennies to the highest bidder. We talk about the "Cognitive Elite" and debate IQ vs. Poverty (The Bell Curve trap), but the algorithm has already filtered us out. It rewards the top 5% while the rest are trapped in a digital caste system where "truth" is whatever the medium decides pays best. Is democracy even real if the system is designed to ask our opinion only after it has already programmed our response? #Surveilla...

  The current political landscape feels like a manufactured dilemma driven by misinformation and a lack of financial literacy. We are witnessing one of the largest transfers of wealth from the younger generation to the top 1%, yet many swing voters—lacking the 11th or 12th-grade reading level required to understand complex finance—continue to blame the federal government for issues like minimum wage, which are clearly provincial responsibilities. Conservatism today seems to prioritize low wages and cheap housing to benefit corporations, leaving those under 30 in a state of "passive citizenship" and debt insolvency. As Jacques Ellul noted, propaganda isn't just about lies; it's about how the truth is manipulated. We need a return to order, higher minimum wages, and robust social programs to rebuild the middle class. It’s time to stop the "bootlicking" of separatist ideologies and start focusing on the actual economic levers that lift a population out of despe...

  Is Canada being set up for a fire sale? 📉 Between the RCMP's warnings about election readiness and the rise of AI-powered deepfakes, we are facing a massive wave of foreign interference. I’ve been reviewing some literature on how propaganda works in the digital age (check out the snippets in the photos). The pattern is clear: foreign entities (primarily US-based interests) use bot networks to masquerade as 'native' citizens. They exploit our internal divisions to ensure that if/when the US faces a major collapse, they can pivot and profit off Canadian resources. AI makes this 'bracketing of prejudice' easier than ever. Thoughts? The source above writing is a prompt of the written response below 👇  Put this again if the RCMP is saying we're not ready for the data Breaches And bracketing of prejudice  In this next election cuz of AI  And I can do some photos from some book review I wrote and kept put it through ai and in five minutes have a pinch of influence ...

  How am I doing? I’m sort of tired. 😪  Cutting the Cord on Corporate Overreach and Proprietary Lies. I gave him Amazon an ultimatum Refund my graphics card that they gouged me $100 on cuz it's American product Where I delete my Amazon account? Of $5,400 books and use that fuel of hate to talk. People who have a lot less tied up in that to Amazon delete their Amazon account I'm just waiting to see if they'll refund it I might be a bit tired I told them I didn't want an American product that gouged me and included tariffs and duties into their price Over a $200 graphic card I gave my ultimatum Now I got to stand to it Also bought a touch screen monitor and it wasn't touch screen. Yeah it's a touch monitor. I can touch the monitor but it's definitely not touch screen As much as those reviews saying that they Reviews go i love the touch screen, I don't believe it. I've hooked it up to three or four different computers on Windows or Linux and there'...

  A Walk With Nick, Dixie, and a Bit of Tech Trading Today was one of those quietly solid days that just feel good from start to finish. Dixie and I met up with Nick at the Coalhurst pond and knocked out two laps around the water. It started off cold enough to make us tuck our hands into our sleeves, but by the end we were both warm and moving well. We covered 2.3 km in 32 minutes , most of it sitting comfortably in the easy heart rate zone (117–138 bpm) . The weighted pack did its job too — building lower-body strength and giving the cardiovascular system a steady push. My average pace was 14:32/km , with a best pace of 9:59/km , which felt smooth considering the chill in the air. Dixie was a champ right from the moment she hopped out of the vehicle. She took care of her business immediately, which meant the second lap was clean and simple — no dog dirt stops, no fuss, just steady walking and a happy dog trotting along beside us. She didn’t have a single issue with other dogs toda...

  ## The Hidden Side Effect: When "Add to Cart" Becomes an Urge Most of us think of medication side effects in terms of physical symptoms—drowsiness, weight changes, or a dry mouth. But there is a specific, documented side effect of **Abilify (aripiprazole)** that hits somewhere else entirely: **your wallet.** ### **The Dopamine "Tug-of-War"** Abilify is unique because it is a *partial dopamine agonist*. While many medications simply block dopamine, Abilify can actually stimulate the reward centers of the brain. For some, this "turns up the volume" on the brain's search for a dopamine hit, leading to **impulse control disorders.** The FDA has officially warned that this can manifest as:  * **Compulsive Shopping:** An uncontrollable urge to buy, even when you don't need the items.  * **Hyper-Gaming:** Buying every new release or spending heavily on microtransactions.  * **Gambling or Binge Eating:** Other forms of "reward-seeking" behavior...

  April 20th – Warm Weather, Good Company, and a Quiet Dog at Home Today was one of those spring days that just settles into your bones in the best way. Dad, Dixie, and I headed out for a walk, and even with the 20 kg (45 lb) pack on my back, we kept a solid pace. The forecast said we’d hit 24°C, and you could feel that warmth building as we moved. By the time we finished, I was comfortable enough to switch into shorts — a rare treat this early in the season. We covered 3.77 km , and at one point I took a break by the pond, sitting for about ten minutes while waiting for my walking friend. The water was calm, the air warm, and it felt like the whole world was taking a breath with me. My heart rate topped out at 134 bpm , averaging 115 bpm , mostly in the easy zone with a bit of warm‑up zone mixed in thanks to that peaceful pause by the water. Dad made a comment that stuck with me — “One more rain and the leaves will just pop open.” He’s right. You can already see the buds swelling...
