I moved here more than a decade ago, and this place made me and my family very fortunate. I'm not even really totally anti-conservative either, but Jesus Christ are these people something else. The population is something else too, it's like everyone's brainwashed into believing they are the best thing that's ever happened to Alberta. When it's the exact opposite.

What's that 1m going to do? It's just like the police force asking for endless funds. Do some god damn enforcement. Don't want people getting hit? Maybe start cracking down on the very obvious issue of people that can't drive for shit as well. Maybe before spending $1m, maybe take a look up in the NE at what's going on in some of these licensing bureaus.

Another 1m, give me a break.

It's D, but it could in theory be E too.

Or one that outright commits treason

I dunno, it's a two way street IMO. You make valid points for sure. I just don't see how its going to be positive for us when we have a government that's just so hostile towards any sort of public serving service. All they want is corrupt privatization

They are so cool. I just about bought that red and white one a few years ago, it reminded me of my Dad's old early 80s Seca a little bit, just had that kind of retro look to it. In hindsight I shoulda just bought the damn thing.

I actually have a SRAM NX Eagle on my Trek Rail right now. That thing eats derailleurs and hangers for breakfast, and the bike shop guy was like legit these are lasting a long time. Hes right btw, it's lasted, but it shifts so rough, like I've tasted the dark side and I want back in

Early days COVID it was kind of entertaining but you are right, it got weird super fast

Those damn mountain rains that come out of nowhere. That looks like a great ride!!

I'm pretty lucky for sure. Between this and the mountain bike, I definitely have a lot of mountains in my life.

Really? That sub went from being legit to being a global beacon for a failing platform in less than 30 seconds.
