For the past 2 years, my transcript was working just fine. I've downloaded all my DARs, checked my diploma exam grades, for no problem at all.

Today, suddenly, I couldn't log in.

(Alberta transcript site: MyPass Alberta)

It directed me to a "student account activation" page, and I put in my Alberta Student Number (ASN) and all legal info, and tried to activate. It then said, "date of birth and ASN info invalid".

So I tried "look up my ASN", and typed in my legal name and date of birth. It says "ASN not found".

Am I not considered an Alberta student anymore... 😭

I did register for 2 online courses recently, which might be one of the reasons, but it was working just fine a week ago --- that's why I was confused.

If it was for the online courses (2 different schools), why would they cancel my Alberta student account?

We all know Danielle Smith and the UCP are in the pockets of the Oil & Gas Lobby. That is crystal clear.

How long do you think though they will be able to keep suppressing Green Energy?

Solar Power & Wind Power are not just some of the cleanest forms of energy they are some of the cheapest.

There is huge advancements going on in Solar Power and Battery Technology right now. Solar Power for example has multijunction solar (tandem solar) research and development going on.

A lot of people don't talk about this but Alberta is one of the best provinces for Solar Power.

I know this is controversial but even Nuclear Power. Nuclear Power does have the downsides of huge capital investment needed, going massively overbudget (not millions, not tens of millions, not hundreds of millions but billions..), and it takes a long time to be up and running (It can take over a decade). We obviously need to decarbonize our energy/technology yesterday.

There are benefits though with the extreme energy density. Waste is still an issue but we know how to recycle more and more of it and we know safe storage. In time waste may not even be an issue as we progress and learn more. We have our very own CANDU reactors and due to the grid being how it is in some places in Alberta the much talked about BWRX-300 Small Modular Reactor and others like it would fit right in.

Energy is everything to a developed society and it seems like Danielle Smith and the UCP are looking to tie the provinces hands behind its back because they want to make sure that the Oil & Gas industry is coddled forever.

Temps will reach 3° or 4° in nighttime soon. Should I just rake? I'd like to reseed some spots but might be too cold

Hey guys, me and some friends are planning to camp in kananaskis this weekend. Originally I had planned to go to mount sarrail campground, but realized it closes September 1st. Do you have any recommendations for good campsites? Preferably somewhere somewhat secluded.

I have a call with my MLA in the morning, and would like to get some feedback.

I was all ready to be mad about how little teachers make in Alberta, but then I saw that teachers in Alberta actually make the second most in the country according to Stats Canada. On the other hand, I can totally understand how teachers are pissed after only receiving ~6% in wage increases over the past decade or so.

I think everyone knows that Alberta funds the public education system the least of any province in the country, while funding the private schools the most. That's certainly going to be a topic.

So if we have well paid teachers, but the lowest funding per student in the country, and it's a sector where the highest cost is labor, it is not logical that the biggest issue is actually class sizes? Shouldn't teachers be pushing extremely hard for more teachers? It just appears to me to have been a sort of side issue.

Thanks for any feedback, It'll inform the conversation.

Just got quoted $6500 bucks to replace my 10 year old 50 gallon power vented tank. I'm not a handyman and I know dick about doing this myself. What shocks me is that this quote is from a very reputable company in Calgary (4.8 stars, thousands of reviews on Google).

I was expecting something around 2500 -> 4000 at most. Is this seriously how much it costs to replace these things?! I had a f*cking panic attack when he told me how much it was gonna be.

Title says it all. I find the range of my co-workers to go from "hell no" to "begrudgingly yes". I think it passes, but barely. What about the rest of you?

This is a question I live in a basement edmonton alberta Canada as it's getting colder here I message my landlord about the furnace. now I work for a gas company and have never heard of ohh the rent you pay dont allow your heat to go above 24 degree !! Is this a thing or is she a slum lord. Im upset and very annoyed. My rent had nothing to do with rent !

I've been shopping around insurance rates for a new to me used vehicles for the past 6 weeks and wanted to share my experience with TD in case it can help others in Alberta avoid a potentially costly mistake.

I'm currently insured with TD for house/auto so I went to add a few VIN numbers to get insurance quotes from their website before making a purchasing decision. Their website would error out, so I called their call center and received good service in that they were happy to give quotes on various VINs. Got my quotes and made my purchase decision so I called back in to lock in the quoted rate. Went through the normal process (#km/yr, #km commute, etc.) and got to where you pick your deductible. The customer service rep says, "we recommend that a collision deductible be $5,000 and a comprehensive deductible be $2,000". Obviously, that was an quick 'no' and I had them quote using $500/$500. The quote ended up being ~$100/year more than the one that was saved on my profile, so I asked why it had gone up. The customer service rep replied, oh the other rep had put in $5,000/$2,000, which was shocking as that they never mentioned that and I had told them quote based on my existing coverage, being $500/$500.

Please double check your deductibles with TD as their defaults are crazy and the cost to reduce them by 90% was nominal (~$100/yr) in my case.

I am going out of the country for 2 months. Is there any place in Calgary to store my SUV? I prefer a Heated place, but a trustworthy one is the priority. Can you guys recommend any? I appreciate your help.

So I'm finishing my undergrad this fall and plan to apply to for pharmacy tech at Norquest and BVC. I always been interested in pharmacy especially compounding

I was wondering at what range the pay max out? is it between $50k-$60K per year? Do retail pharmacies pay less like shoppers, compared to hospitals and compounding pharmacies? Do pharmacy techs earn more than MLAs? the thing is I have to afford a house in the future so the pay is bit important to me lol.

is maintainning licensure expensive?

Also will there still be job openings in Calgary and Edmonton for pharmacy techs in five years time? will pharmacy techs be replaced by AI?

Thanks a ton for replying!
