  • The last conservative government silenced the government scientists from discussing climate change and destroyed decades of research as they didn’t believe in it and it didn’t fit their Alberta oil jobs first objectives.

    We are looking at another Conservative government coming our way again in the next year and it’s going to be a super shit storm when our Cons and the US Cons are firing on all cylinders destroy everything they don’t like or believe in. I fear it’s going to take decades again to come back on the science again.













  • We’ve seen the same issues with hockey. The use of plastics in shoulder and elbow protections versus the older leathers and felt padding. When delivering a hit both players feel it, today not so much as a plastic shoulder goes into a face it’s more one way.

    As much as they have been changing the rules, a crazy part of me wonders if less equipment might help more, like those old leather helmets. Would players not be hitting as hard?



  • I’m speaking to #2 in the article and how some of differences in communication styles in my workplace that caused fiction between millennials and older Gen’s especially those in industry not sittings at laptops or into IM or facetime.

    They are usually doing sales on the road or building things in their shops. The customer service team gets frustrated they can’t get instant answers by email but they won’t try other methods of reaching the customer. Phone is what I choose as it is the one thing we all have versus are they using and actually checking, texts, whatsapp, Telegram, signal, FB Messenger, Kik, snap, facetime, zoom, teams, google meet, twitter, Etc.

    As old as phone is, it’s something that will cut through those other questions. So it’s not always generational it can be situational too.
