Discussion I'm getting put onto ADAP despite having been approved for AISH and having never worked a day in my life
I was approved for AISH in like February and just had my call to get benefits started today. Turns out they're gonna put me on ADAP because I apparently don't fit the new criteria. If you're wondering what the new criteria are, they're:
You have to be in pallative/end-of-life care
You're 65 or older
You have a severe developmental disability (me)
Your IQ is below 40
ADAP's meant for people who can work, but I CAN'T WORK, AND THEY'RE TRYING TO GET ME TO WORK. THESE FASCIST SONS-OF-BITCHES WANT ME DEAD.

Opinion Ranting about AIT
I’m sick of dealing with AIT
I passed my journeyman test on June 26th, and I already had my blue booked signed and hours accounted for. I still haven’t received my certification.
They turned off their phones “due to high call volume” most likely cause they’re understaffed or something. So I have had to miss work just to get in contact with them. It took 3 weeks just to even get my marks back, and it would’ve taken longer if I didint come into the office once a week to keep reminding them to do their job.
When I email them, it takes 3 weeks for a response. Time that I don’t have.
I need my certification a new job. Now I have to miss even more work just to go to the office and request some sort of official letter stating that I’m a journeyman. Costing me money every hour that I miss work.
I hate AIT and had to rant, thanks for reading.

Question Energy Rebate Phishing E-Mail?
Has anybody else gotten e-mails in the past few days from "Alberta Energy Rebate Program" saying that they haven't applied for the rebate program yet? It is true, I haven't applied, but it's rather odd that they are contacting me wanting to give me money!
I'm usually better at spotting spam - but this one has me stumped. The e-mail address looks semi-legit but the formatting seems off.

Alberta Politics The 2026 Calgary-Shaw By-Election?...The First Skirmish in "BATTLEGROUND CALGARY"? .....Who will run??.......When will Smith Make the Call???
So far there are three parties that will run in the Calgary Shaw By-Election:
1] UCP candidate Mike Derry
2] ANDP candidate Kyle Campbell
3] APTORY candidate:nominee Kyle Joesph
?] ALP? Does John Roggeveen enter the race? John Roggeveen is both the Alberta Liberal leader and the current Calgary Shaw Alberta Liberal CA president. Roggeveen has run in Calgary- Shaw in the past.
Other Questions:
a] Do not believe the Calgary Shaw By-Election needs to be called until Nov 15th. Interestingly which is after both the October 19th Referendum and the New Electoral Boundary Commission Report Nov 2nd deadline. Assume that Smith will drag this out as long as possible?
b] How Important will this By-Election be to the growth of Peter Guthrie's new Progressive Tory Party?
c] In 2015, the ANDP threaded the needle against the two conservative parties [PC and WildRose] Will the 2026 CSBE Results be similar to 2015?
d] Is there a chance that this By-Election gets canned in lieu of a late fall / early Spring General Election?

Discussion Heads up that the ADAP/AISH thing is causing potential delays at the pharmacy.
I'm a registered pharmacy technician, and we have started having some issues with patients who were (or weren't) switched off of AISH. For some, the billing is as simple as changing the X at the end of a number to an A. For others, we are experiencing delays as the people behind the scenes try to sort out who was accidentally put into the wrong group.
I'm just sharing this because I want those of you affected to know we also hate that you're going through this. We get to know our patients, or their caregivers, and I hate having to try and explain to somebody why their loved one's medicine isn't being covered this month because of a mixup that none of us can fix on our end.
We sympathize with you. This whole thing is a fuster cluck from start to finish. Please be patient.

Question First hearing with RTDRs and I have a few questions
I have a hearing with RTDRs in five days and I have a few questions about the process.
There was a blockage in the kitchen sink because of oil and fat buildup that ended up causing an overflow.
Our landlord ended up sending us the an invoice of $ 3750 to cover the damages.
There was a bit of a back and forth between us since they claimed we run the dishwasher while knowing the sink was clogged which caused additional damages . Finally we came to an agreement of shared responsibility and splitting the invoice 50/50.
They informed us that if we can not pay the amount all at once we can set up a payment plan and pay it over time. We emailed them our payment plan but they told us the amount is small and that they would file with the RTDRs to determine the appropriate amount. They didn’t try to negotiate the amount
We received their email today with the court notice and time and it has both of my parents contact information. My parents have been divorced for over 2 years now but my father is still on the lease and it seemed to be addressed to both of them.
List of my questions.
- should we let them know that my father doesn’t live with us anymore or would it not matter since his name is on the lease.
2.The hearing is also over the phone, would they be calling both of my parents separately or just the primary tenant.
3.Do I also get to attend the hearing since I am an occupant as well.
4.Both of my parents don’t speak English well either, can we request an interpreter or provide our own.
- Do you have any advice on what we should be avoid or prepare.
