I’m lactose intolerant, but I can try giving this a shot with some oat milk. Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks! I might give this a shot, especially since we have a seed library where I live.

I’d love to add yogourt, but unfortunately I’m lactose intolerant. Thanks for the suggestion though! Assuming I can find frozen peaches that are grown here, I might consider this and throw a few in rather than make them the main star.

Funny you mention this, I noticed that there were the frozen blueberries and frozen wild blueberries at Real Canadian Superstore yesterday, and was wondering what the difference was. I know Loblaws is far from ideal, but at the very least they were grown here.

I knew this looked familiar! I used to pass by here all the time walking from the Woods Homes Campus to Alyth.

Alberta Children’s Hospital?

Good call, might check if there’s peaches in the frozen section as well.

Used to have a gripe with peaches when I was younger since I grew sick of them from us having them so often. Was never about the taste itself more than it was how often we had it.

As much as I like that there’s a Canadian alternative to GitHub, I’ll probably personally stick to Codeberg and Forgejo instances due to the non-profit aspect of things personally.

…we do? Never heard of this and I’ve been here all my life.

If it helps, there are Conservatives that are getting sick of the shit the UCP has been pulling.

My grandmother has been a longtime Conservative since she has family that works in the oil sands, and she was telling me when I visited her last that “they need to get rid of Danielle Smith”.

If she votes NDP I’d be coloured shocked. She’s not the most political person, but she’s very much not the “culture war” type of person as much as she is pro-oil.

If you like gardening, you might like volunteering with the Calgary Seed Library: https://www.calgaryseedlibrary.ca/

Canyon Meadows Theatre isn’t that far off from the C-train station. Cheap movie tickets, last I remember they were $5 each.

Fish Creek is pretty nice and also not that far a walk from the station of the same name. Good for a nice nature walk.

If you’re willing to take the train further, there’s a lot of thrift shops by Chinook Mall you can explore, and the Devonian Gardens downtown is a great spot to sit and relax.

It’s been gone a few years now, but I remember place on 51st Ave called Tofu House that was really good. I’ve been out of the city for a few years now, so unsure if they moved and changed names, or if they’re gone for good.

Should have gone through now

Sounds good! I’ll wait until Friday to see if anybody else showcases interest as well and then go forward from there!

7/11 and Circle K both sell Bear n’ Beaver pop.

London Drugs sells Grizzly Energy. Think Circle K sells Red Rain.

Co-Op tends to sell local products in general.

Some pop brands have pages to tell you where you can buy their product:

I swear before the Valley Line the space was like that, even before the library moved out of the mall is the thing. There was the field where the gulls would hang out, but that portion of the parking lot was there well before the rest of the parking area for the transit terminal I recall.

Quick edit: Found evidence using ESRI WayBack, this is what the area looked like in 2017, right before shovels were in the ground in the area iirc:

This just reminds me of the thing Google pulled not long ago asking users to submit pictures of their younger selves to generate their adult self at the baseball game with them.

Immediately thought it’d be stupid to do that since people are gonna work their ass off to bypass AI guardrails in any case including generating child porn, and lo and behold, few days later I find a tweet of someone calling out another person for creating AI-generated porn of their own daughter.

I am livid. I can not put my anger into words right now.

The “strong, Conservative woman” claims that her party doesn’t use the notwithstanding clause “unless the stakes warrant it.”

Right, because clearly the biggest threat in Alberta is trans people. Not lobby money from the oil and gas industry, not the rising cost of living, not the mental health and addictions crisis, it’s clearly a group that makes up 1% at max of the population of the province.

Calling herself a “strong woman” is so unbelievably rich when all she seems able to do is effortlessly punch down on the everyday person. Like awww, how cute, she’s fighting fucking Big Teacher and Big Hormones, fuck off. “Strength” in defending the status quo requires zero effort whatsoever as it simply means doing fuck all, and I will be unapologetic in saying that she is doing nothing but continuing women’s status as objects by acting as a mere chess piece for the male CEOs in oil and gas and other profitable industries that direct her and the UCP’s decisions through political donations.

Un-fucking-believable.

I mean, not really, even here in Alberta Calgary and Edmonton have some rather impressive TOD (Transit Oriented Development) projects.

The Bonnie Doon redevelopment in Edmonton along the Valley Line LRT, and Calgary’s long-term plans for the new Green Line for the Ctrain are great examples.
