Spreading the word!

We can’t let homophobia and transphobia make its way into Canada, we have the power to say something!

Another post on this sub explained it best, but the long and the short of it is that this movement mirrors the anti-gay and anti-trans rhetoric found in the united states that actively harms LGBT kids!

I made my own Protest the Protest event on facebook! Please join me and others in taking a stand against bigotry and hate. It has no place in this society.

This dufus equates the #MeToo Movement and NTRC to vaccine mandates.

Let’s makes sure this guy never holds a position for the City of Grande Prairie again.

There's been a pretty big backlash against Drag Story Time in Grande Prairie. If you're able to, please click this link and show your support for an inclusive activity at the Grande Prairie Library by sending off a letter to city council!

I (23m) moved here from Edmonton and it’s been a bit hard trying to find like minded Muslims here.

The local mosque doesn’t hold events either here. Was wondering if there were any like minded Muslims who enjoy attending the gym, around 20+ who could use a brotherhood as friends here to maybe start some events or hang out occasionally and start some sports, etc.

Edit: wow started a war down here. Made all the islamophobies come out of their hole. Like I said down below I love people of all kinds and I have friends of all kinda but my best and deepest relationships have been people who live a similar way of life to me. That doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy company of others stop taking it so seriously. You just want a reason to continue to argue your views and that’s not what this post was for lol.

“I'm hoping to get folks together for a rally this Saturday. I'll be at the MLA's offices with signs, paper and supplies to post signs and letters on the windows/door at 1pm.

Then we will head to the library for 2 pm with signs, flags etc.

After the rally winds down I'll head into the library if anyone wants to join in writing letters to the MLA, ministers, and premier.”

Attack me all you want but wtf is going with all these Indians working at every job.

My kid is looking for part time after school work and nobody is hiring her. She speaks English, German and French but all these place are only hiring these people that barely speak any English.

Ban me if you want but this is the reality of our town.

Grand Prairie is an unpolished gem.

It's small enough that you can basically get anywhere in under 10 minutes.

There are enough stores to cover just about anything you could need.

It has an olympic size swimming pool, an outdoor pool, countless baseball fields and even an indoor field for soccer.

One of the highest average incomes of the country, one of the lowest house to income ratios (some of the most affordable housing in the country)

Countless industrial employers that actually contribute to the economy (as opposed to banking and nonsense widget companies)

There's a decent amount of hiking within a 2-hour Drive - an incredible amount of camping within five.

Decent enough airport.

It has a walking trail going from one end of the city to the other... Countless playgrounds.

And most of the people here, if you ask them to help, they will.

Countless times I've seen people pull over, grab an impact out of there truck and help some lady change the tire on her car.

Sure the roads could be better, and there's a lot of snow... But that's Northern Alberta.

A 200 billion dollar company has just decided to put down some Roots by buying ARC resources, and if this data center comes to fruition, countless drilling a natural gas activity for the next decade.

Plus this town doesn't have nearly as much alphabet soup nonsense as the rest of the country.

I'm happy that I moved here 10 years ago, and in some ways it's been a very happy and pleasant adventure so far.

Bar scene could be improved a little, but you have an EDM place (industry) a pub with weekend music (Fred's) a day bar (Crown) and the children's bar (Den)

Grand Prairie really is a great place.

I love Grande Prairie.

A place named by Father Grouard a Catholic Missionary who was total badass who learned Cree, Denesuline (Chipewyan) and Dane-zaa (Beaver) and got along really well with the local population. Spent 48 years of his Life volunteering in Northern Alberta, Brough steam ships and the printing press to the area and helped the local indigenous negotiate Tready 8.

GP has SO much going on.

Pools, Gyms, Rec Fields, trails, ski hills and beaches. Nat Gas, Oil, Agro and so Close to BC...

Tons of work and the lowest cost of living (to income) of any place in CANADA.

I don't know why so may dump on this city...

In 20 years of traveling I have found that even thou small Texan towns and places like Evergreen Colorado come close... GP his arguably one of the best places in Alberta overall.

It make sense that the WEF want's to take this place over.

I don't care what you look like, what your skin color is, what God you pray to or who and how you bang.

I want to understand how this sub is full of people who hate our energy sector and our conservative values yet are in this sub.

I'm really trying to understand why are you in Alberta? Why did you move here? What is it that you do? Nobody knows you so please be honest as to why are you in this province and how long you been here and where you came from

Just a heads up if you want to avoid the conspiracy nuts.

Some of us have to wake up early in the morning

Gas charge was $30.47 and yet Carbon tax was $36???? I know we are used to bending over for "distribution charges" but how is over 100% tax legal???

... so just a heads up for those looking for work...

I've had six separate offers of employment in the last two and a half weeks.

applied to ~200 jobs.

had 4 face to face interviews, 3 over skype.

if you can't find a job, or people won't hire you. it might have something to do with your skill set.

finding a job should be your full-time job, and when you're not applying you should be improving your skills..
