Here’s a picture of my daughter playing with the toys in the City of Calgary room set up to help adult city councillors and staff cope with the stress of attending the public hearing of the blanket re-zoning bylaw repeal motion today.

I know one of the Calgary city councillors and have no idea how he’ll vote, (probs for blanket repeal of this idiotic bylaw) … he’s been an independent business owner, and is doing well enough.
Hopefully the names of those who spent time in this room fidgeting with these to ease their minds becomes public, it won’t be via me though.
One of the Councilors posted on x/twitter that therapy dogs will also be there to help relieve stress as well.
Heh. 🙂
Does calgary have any adults on their council??????
It is called the infantilization of adults.
Look it up.
I see it everywhere, while clutching a cigarette between my teeth and tightly gripping a bottle of whiskey, but waving to my neighbour.
Because I don’t want to upset my neighbours.
They are fragile.
I keep to myself.
My estimate, based on election results, web site comments, media stories and personal contact is that 40-50% of both Canadians and Americans are spineless, brain dead idiots (one of the characteristics of wokeness.)
I may be assessing Canadians a little generously. Leadership can obscure the underlying rot. They’ve got Trump, which makes them look better. We’ve got non-entities like Corny and the vacant eyed Anita Banana to accelerate the decline.
Barring some planetary disaster it’s probably too late to overcome decades of leftist propaganda, defeatism and institutionally inspired stupidity. Reality will reassert itself someday, but I doubt that will occur within the lifetime of anyone currently an adult now.
Where’s their petting zoo of comfort animals?
I’d 100% go for a petting zoo or a quick mid day horse ride… not this week though, clients I’ve met have been stellar for the past week. Most times I have a problem with folks it’s with a supervisor not a client.
Been there, done that. I called regularly on a plant in France where the maintenance manager had come from the nuclear energy industry. Total and complete moron.
Wait. What!? Complete moron and Nuclear Energy industry are oxymorons … yes? Of all the industries on the planet … shouldn’t Nuclear be LAST in line for moronic maintenance personnel?
I was promised that the brightest and the best were operating all our nuclear power plants.
If they roll out a heavy-petting zoo, sign me up

Ruff ruff!
The concept of grown-up or maturity has faded away. People just age now.
Yeah, but they (the grown ups) get cool tattoos and track their ageing with 10,000 selfies per day.
Their kids are learning how to circle down from there.
However, I observe others that are NOT like that, with nice kids, no tats, and a semblance of old school civility.
My question is simply this. What is the proportion of woke vs normal?
It may depend on where you live perhaps.
What think you?
Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional.
This looks like the when you have a “bring the kids to work” day. They set up a kindergarden in a room for the toddlers.
Come on. Use your imaginations. This could be fun:
(((Report government fraud in Calgary by contacting the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC) online or by phone (1-888-495-8501). For local fraud, contact the Calgary Police Service (403-266-1234). Specific provincial program fraud (e.g., AISH, Income Support) is reported to the Government of Alberta Income Services Investigation Unit (ISIU))))
Someone bought those toys and put it on an expense account using tax payer dollars. Make them pay for doing that. And, raise awareness that it was done in the first place by making a ruckus. The media, as it stands, will ignore it. BUT, if you add a new twist, like reporting government fraud, they’ll have to mention it.
This is just proof that the City is overstaffed with useless bureaucrats. The is the City administration doing this and it has been leading Council by the nose for years. It is time for Council to get a spine and tell administration who the boss is. It ain’t City administration or Mayor and Council….it is the electorate.
Is it any wonder these people can be intimidated by First Nations?
Especially when they are wearing their Chicken Hats!!
The bush Indians love their geographically inaccurate feather hats. Historically they used a furry moose scrotum as a hat, not feathers. Interesting fact – the word “toque” comes from the sound a bull moose makes as his scrotum is removed.
I fail to understand why they named that bronc “White Sox”.
Maybe they bought it in Chicago?
PussyRules…
stress.
it is even a partial love-hate relationship l have with the phenomenon.
more like a respectful utilization in measured doses.
A: muscular stress led me to 2 personal records: 350 bench press (only did it once) and
B: a staggering 1685 pounds on the leg press, documented and again, only once.
it appears muscle memory will see me thru my remaining days.
C: mental stress. ooooh gawd lve always hated exams (well, one exception gr 11 final, calculus the ONLY one l ever walked out early . . . . because l aced it). anyways, *knowing what lm infor* l wd prep the best l could, try study tricks, cross my fingers, breathing exercises, pace myself
and coughed up a B average.
D: physical confrontations. long ago, by coincidence then when i figured out why it worked, deliberate: l would adopt the view if l was gonna get hurt then lm gonna make godam sure *they* got hurt too. the fearfulness and chickenshyt std response replaced by a cold resolve (backed up in my mind knowing l could summon some measure of strength and power, see above). which curiously the opponent wd pick up on and whats this? the obvious threat seems more like bluster and bluff now. how did that happen? as l say l much later realized the ‘body language’ l was projecting contradicted what the bullies were accustom to, to whit: howcum the skinny guy aint begging? etc. AGES later getting my poli sci degree the lecture topic was nuclear deterrence and it hit me, migawd thats what l was doing; making sure the opposition KNEW they were in for *some measure of the same ‘medicine’ * honest to gawd SDA it ALWAYS worked.
E: other stresses in life? similar results.
stress is INEVITABLE, fuels innovation and remedy and, shucks leads to proud moments of triumph
responses are vanishing in 2026, now its cave, cave, cave and whimper. pass the valium.
Rick Bell from The Calgary Sun has referred to Calgary city council as ‘the big blue playpen’ for years. I always thought it was just hyperbole. Wow.
From Buckin’ to SpongeBob…..Farkels.
And Alberta will be voting to separate……..never. Just another province full of wussified, pussified, coward sheep.
What do they do when someone be’s mean to them? (Sorry the Jeets got me slanging)
Cry I guess.
Nice photo! If you scan the crowd you might even see John Wayne cheering on his buddy. LOL
In the good old days, stress relief would come from the beer fridge in the corner or the twenty sixers on the side table. And tobacco. On the other hand, politicians would probably be considered safe to drive after diddling with toddler’s toys.
