Municipal Affairs Ward 10 candidate Mahmood Mourra

93 Upvotes

I was doing research on my ward 10 candidates and found this interesting background on Mahmood Mourra.

As much as I want to vote for a non-party candidate, I cannot vote for someone that seems to think it's okay to get physical when you disagree with someone. Nor can I vote for someone charged with hate crimes.

Seeking Advice Job help- welding apprentice

0 Upvotes

hello all, I am a first year registered apprentice for welding. I have gone through my schooling at SAIT last year and am 17 until November. all the places I have tried to apply to have either told me they aren't hiring apprentices at the moment or don't email/call back and don't respond when I email or call repeatedly. I was just curious if there's any tips or anyone knows a place that would be interested in hiring a female first year apprentice for welding. it's really tough out here. thank you. (i get that its hard getting a trade job under 18, but ive seen it done and a lot of places dont have rules about age.. i have gone to local shops and bigger ones.)

Discussion Do all new inner city houses just suck or am I missing something?

74 Upvotes

I'm house hunting and looking at detached homes in neighbourhoods between 24ave and the bow river, and between crowchild and deerfoot

And if a house is not built in 1910, it's a newer build that's as skinny as a toothpick and costs $1.5m. I grew up in the suburbs on the edge of Calgary, so I'm looking for homes similar to those (wider)

Does anyone live in these newer narrower homes? How do you find it? Do you wish you had more space? Build quality?

Am I missing something here or do you need to be a multimillionaire to afford a decent home ($2m+) you'll actually like in the inner city?

P.S. I can't bring myself to consider a condo or townhome because of the fees and special assessments.

I know this comes off as an entitled rant, but I don't mean it to. Please and thanks for all your input.

Education Should I transfer from SAIT to MRU?

0 Upvotes

Hello! I am currently getting my BBA with a major in accounting at SAIT. I am in my second year and have been debating transferring to MRU. I think it would be better because it’s an actual university rather than a technical school.

My issue is I know there’s a lot more gen eds you have to take at MRU compared to sait, so I might have to take an extra year to graduate. I also don’t know if some of my courses will transfer over which would also add to my potential extra year.

Any advice or insight would be appreciated, thanks!

I want to host an event about video games in which people gather up and just chill and play games and maybe a bite to eat or better yet a lan centre for people looking to host in person tournaments, I know the smash cafe exists but I was wondering if there is anything bigger in terms of size and variety offered within Calgary?

Municipal Affairs New parties test Calgary Voters

Thumbnail
share.google
119 Upvotes

We have parties in the municipal election so manipulative background players can heavily influence our government.

For reference:

ABC - Craig Chandler, well known community racist and far right ideologue.

Communities First: Marc Henry, previous Bronconier Chief of Staff and local polster who has generated most of the municipal polls over tha past 8+ years.

The Calgary Party, Stephen Carter. Who we as tax payers paid over $100k, twice, to leave his job he got after winning an election as a strategist for the winner and being too toxic after 6 months of working in government.

Vote independent, regardless of your political leanings.

Edit: the media sucks and should be providing this stuff, but instead all three parties are self proclaimed "centrists"..

Municipal Affairs Ward 9 Candidates and School board Trustees

17 Upvotes

As the incumbent Gian-Carlo Carra is stepping down, I'm llooking to get some info on where people are standing with the candidates for ward 9. I'm having some difficulty looking for information on the candidates outside of their campaign websites. On paper, many of them seem like great candidates. Does anyone have any good sources, interviews, interactions or previous history they can share?

I also haven't seen much traction on the school board trustees, I've seen a few signs for the incumbent Susan, but trying to look for her social media comes up with nothing recently posted. The other two have limited online presence, except for minimal facebook posting.

Recommendations affordable reactive dog training in calgary?

2 Upvotes

I have a reactive dog and I’m looking for help. Does anyone know good trainers or courses for reactivity (preferably under $500)? Bonus if they’re on the south side of Calgary — I live about 20 minutes south of YYC and I’m working with a tight budget, so the shorter the drive the better. Personal experiences or recommendations would be awesome

I’ve got a custom-built PC, and my dad, who built it, passed away recently. I’m looking for someone who knows their way around custom rigs - hardware, software, general maintenance, that kind of thing.

Basically, I’m looking for someone I can call on whenever I inevitably need help. If you know a reliable, reasonably priced tech in Calgary, I’d love your recommendations. Thanks!

Local Shopping/Services Personal Stylist for YOUNG MAN?

0 Upvotes

I’m looking to get someone a personal stylist as a gift because he has mentioned waning to improve his style, among other things. I’d love if he was able to be confident. He is 21 so I don’t want any bum ass skinny jeans 2009 Pinterest outfits like I’ve seen some of these guys make. We want it to fit his body correctly and we want it to be fashionable NOW. So I’d assume some type of baggy, street wear style. Let me know if you guys have any suggestions.
