I'm just here to fast-fact that reindeer and caribou are the same animal, just European (Old Norse) vs North American (Mi'kmaq) names! Also a quarter has a caribou on it on it.

And next she's heading to Florida to keynote at PragerU with Ben Shapiro; she's the biggest piece of shit in Canada right now.

I was trying to find Canabalt to play and show my kids, but couldn't remember the name. I found it this morning after some searching, so when I saw this post I thought it was my phone spying, but hey, this is Lemmy, so it's just an old fashioned coincidence! Neat.

Anyway, reading the article had me go down the PICO-8 rabbit-hole which is really cool, I hadn't heard of it before.

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...

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.

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.

Hello, I've seen a bunch of comments recently that are just grey boxes which take a good two dozen swipes or more to scroll to the bottom of. I assumed they were trolls at first, but I checked one in a web browser today and it's a comment that includes an animated file:
