Good thing they're banning natural gas.

Aside from downtown, it's fairly limited to near train stations. This is where NW being hilly is an advantage. They don't stray far from the train stations. Meth heads have no cardio.

Still both Timmy's and Micky D at Crowfoot are littered with them.

Revolt.

Everyone in Calgary at 7:30 pm turn on all your dryers on hot, and ovens on broil.

To make things interesting, have all family members in the house flush the toilet at the same time at 735 pm.

Just kidding. But intrusive thoughts.

That would impact the tides! Are you crazy??!¡?!! Humans can make the tides stop if we aren't careful. We are incredibly significant.

There's an encampment by the Tim's in Arbour Lake.

They was an encampment in the green space near our house in Royal Oak.

Meth takes you places.

Yea, the whole Crowfoot area is fucked. Tims, McD's, Safeway. Just saying they don't go much farther than the 711 to the west, and basically Safeway to the north cuz everything else involves hills haha.

Royal oak, I'm assuming close to Tuscany station? It's even more hilly in RO so I can't see them going much further north.

I thought I paid a tax to make sure extreme weather doesn't happen.
Can't we just pay more and the cold will go away?

A friend lives in Tuscany near the station and caught some homeless crackheads stealing packages from his neighbours. Luckily he’s fucking fast and managed to recover them and return them.

This is the result of paying the tax…the annual mean temp is nice and low so far in 2024! We’ll achieve that global temperature reduction before you know it!

Everyone who voted NDP so checks out

Didn't someone already suggest cutting the BC grid intertie? That frees up 232MW right there! Wait nix that, my empty vacation homes pipes might freeze.

Hey guys lets ban all gasoline engines and start using electric vehicles only! We can sustain it.

We’re pulling 230MW from BC right now, not the other way around.

You’re reading that backwards. BC is sending us power like usual. I was showing my son the power website right after the alert went off and at the time we were exporting 20MW to Montana. Within 3 minutes it went to zero then reversed to importing 20 MW. All the battery reserve sites also started dumping their loads. Good time to own a generator when they are paying $9999.99 MW/h right now.

Shit, I had a feeling I paid too much tax.

Hope he "accidentally" gave them an elbow to the face.

Here’s another good site with historical charts and site information on all the power generation locations in Alberta.

The green area is about a 20 min walk up a large hill. Honestly I was surprised. But the fuckers are taking over any sort of green space.

Kind of ironic because EVs would actually be the answer to this if they supported V2G (vehicle to grid). Right now market rate is a buck per kWh, could make easy money reselling power to the grid now just to recharge overnight when it drops to normal.
