BigWheelPowerBrakeSlider, to canada in Most Albertans don't want the province to pull out of CPP, survey finds

“Alberta’s young working population and more jobs with higher wages has resulted in Albertans over-contributing tens of billions into the CPP compared to the benefits we’ve received,” states a Government of Alberta video promoting the creation of an Alberta pension plan.

Aren’t the high wages (and young people) predominately because oil/gas? Are those not national natural resources?

Thanks for exporting that south of the border. Or wait, is it thanks for importing that from south of the border? Either way, we all pay.

I wonder why calling it pop made it only to far western NY and then soda in the rest of Upstate? There was a lot of trade between Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse, especially with the advent of the Erie Canal.

One might think so based on real world application; however it’s true. And while true, I don’t recommend it as a first line defense.

Yes, this guy is my spirit animal–if I ever walk into the woods to disappear and live off the land. Or the neighbors as the case may be.

BigWheelPowerBrakeSlider, to asklemmy in How would you survive if you had to live by hiding in the woods?

Steal stuff from the nearest house (or ask if I wasn’t on the run from the law–and maybe even if I was) or town. Otherwise, no, no survival.

BigWheelPowerBrakeSlider, to asklemmy in What would happen if politicians hat to work like scientists?

Does anyone know what high level politicians actually do on a day-to day-basis. Like, is there someone who works in the field or has had an internship on Capitol Hill or something that can enlighten me? The pols rarely draft their own bills. It’s either lobbyists or staffers. Ron Desantis has been Iowa about 100x more than he’s been in Florida. Seems like the job is not all that difficult and you can be absent just about all the time unless there’s a vote on the floor. But, maybe my admittedly incomplete knowledge is wrong.

You can resist an unlawful arrest. But good luck with that in the real world.

Ask for a lawyer and zip it up. Problem is you’re not getting to talk to a lawyer right then and there and will continue to be held at the jail. If you know a private attorney or someone hires one, you might, and that is a big might, get to to speak to them in a few hours, but even so, they are almost certainly not getting you home that day. In my state you get a first appearance before a judge the next day where a probable cause hearing is held and bond/bail is set. That’s usually the first time you even see an attorney but often you only get to speak to them sometime after that first court appearance. Especially if the hearing is done by video where the accused is at the jail and the attorney is at the courthouse.

The Powerlines–a place for high schoolers to throw keggers.
