Chrétien told the Americans to go fuck their hat when Bush invaded Iraq for a made up reason and asked Canada to join.

Ugh that sucks to hear, it has already been 3 months, same for my buddy. He emailed the AB CFO, but got nowhere. Bizarre, I assumed they love passing out PALs here in Alberta…

Oh good, your tag will be fool. Thanks for letting me know.

It looks like they are eating directly off of charger plates too lol. Really fucking ugly ones at that.

If people are angry enough it can work. The situation today is an entirely different than a typical provincial election where apathy is engrained in so many.

Collecting enough signatures isn’t all up to the person who kicks off the recall petition; canvassers register and join in on collecting signatures. And they don’t have to go door to door. If you have the permission of your employer, or a business, or central location you can set up canvasses there an let people know times and places to show up to sign. Not easy, but possible if people care enough.

The obvious hoops that have been set up to prevent a recall from being straight forward suck, but we still have a mechanism to do it. If a recall could succeed despite the hoops that would be extremely motivating to the rest of the province and country.

Its spreading. From today: https://www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/article/lets-just-put-things-on-pause-alberta-premier-under-fire-for-breitbart-interview/

and Carney has weighed in on it as well, here’s a Global News snippet from 40 minutes ago:

Here (https://www.elections.ab.ca/recall-initiative/recall/) is everything you need to know for how to kickoff a recall of Danielle Smith in her provincial riding (aka electoral division). It doesn’t guarantee she’ll go away, but increases the odds greatly, and sends a clear message from her Alberta base to the UCP and the rest of Canada.

She holds the seat for the electoral division of Brooks-Medicine Hat. The petition for recall can be started by someone who lives there, whether they voted or not, with $500 and 200 words explaining why, then they need to gather physical (not digital) signatures of 40% of the electors in that riding, which is 13,838 signatures for Brooks-Medicine Hat. The population of Medicine Hat alone is north of 60k.

There are currently no recall petitions.

Danielle Smith needs to GO and we Albertans need to send that message.

When will Commerce Secretary Sputnik shill for Windows 11 on Fox?

I hear you, brother. I’m in Alberta too, but never been interested in guns; I’m waiting for my PAL to be approved as we speak. My parents and in-laws are terrified and upset about their grandkids potential futures. I’m talking to them daily to try to calm them down. We’re angry all the time, and now filling with anxiety about the upcoming election, because we all see the lies and bullshit tied to money, power, and ignorance starting…

Voivod in the news? Neato they’re my favourite French Canadian metal band!

Too bad no one who can make a difference gives a shit in the DPRA.

L🥚L!

I long press a user name to edit and set tags, including my own!

I feel you though, I never used to bother too much with settings and purposefully stuck to defaults unless I had an issue, but since I’ve been using more FOSS apps I’m finding my defaults mantra to be very limiting. Many times I can have a great experience with ten minutes of tinkering I wasn’t willing to do before.

The short version is Voyager will also keep track of how many times I’ve up or down voted someone once user tagging is enabled. That’s killer because it naturally tags users I’ve come into contact with even if I didn’t set a specific tag for them. Then I start to recognize users from my up and down votes and maybe set a specific tag from there.

I still have Connect installed, I used it for my first year here since it was a close experience to Relay For Reddit, and the Dev is Canadian. I like the way Connect looks a little better, and it has a much nicer comment draft/preview system.

After running both together for a while, I found Voyager’s entire user tagging system, with tracking and a summary of all tags and votes I’ve set, to be extremely valuable info. It has a lot of great features like Connect, but it’s FOSS as well, so maybe a higher chance someone will improve the features I use in the future. I have stuck with it now for the last 9 months or so, it’s great.

Explain how a client-side note that I personally set to remind me of information I learned about someone a bad idea that will ruin Lemmy?

Don’t forget to tag yourself!

Find a Lemmy app that has user tagging (I use Voyager, and previously Connect) and when you see these users make a note of each one with a red tag so they stand out when you’re browsing.

You’ll start to see the bastards turning up in all kinds of conversations as well as posting ridiculous shit. That’s what I did with the Russian/American trolls/bots during the american election. Very enlightening to see in a political thread who the repeat offender shit-disturbers are so you can down vote, argue with, or report them instead of blocking them and allowing their infection to spread.

Tagging is handy for nice people as well; the community of people around you on Lemmy starts to look more familiar, smaller, and friendlier than you realize, and dick heads become easier to spot.

Wasn’t it the English?
