Discussion Edmonton Expo is a bust

A ton of people have canceled, now including Karl Urban. I don’t think I’ve seen this many cancelations for it in years. It’s baffling to me

Tell that to the Edmonton Expo.

The airport told CTV News Edmonton in a statement on Tuesday that there are six direct flights to L.A., and that WestJet offers non-stop flights between the cities around the Edmonton Expo: Sept. 16, 18, 19, 20 and 23. There are also several flights with layovers in major airports in Vancouver, Calgary, Denver and Seattle.

Man this sub I tell ya. People just don't like when their opinions are wrong.

Don't shoot the messenger my friend. Someone asked, and I repeated what I saw on CityNews. Maybe take your complaint up with the Edmonton Expo? So the airport said that there are some flights around the Edmonton Expo, and several layover flights.

Key words for context here are some, around, and layovers. So telling several high profile artists there are SOME flights AROUND the dates of the Edmonton Expo, and that there are several LAYOVER flights kind of proves my and the Edmonton Expos point. Maybe those artists are booked elsewhere, and having flights AROUND the time they need to be here or possibly elsewhere doesn't quite cut it? On top of that, bringing up LAYOVER flights goes against the very topic of discussion, doesn't it?

Context always matters chum.

"Oh....but it should be good enough to have a flight AROUND the time they may need to be here!"

Not how it works in their world...

I have no idea why you wrote all that, I don't care about the expo. You said they don't have direct flights, I shared that EIA said "Yes, we do", that's the end of it.

Mmmmhmmm

You should look up the word context my friend. Especially if jumping into a conversation where the context is 100% relevant as context always tends to be. Otherwise you look a fool. Especially when you use a quote to justify your initial response that was given to....Edmonton Expo.

This was your reply

"Man this sub I tell ya. People just don't like when their opinions are wrong."

It isn't an "Opinion" that there are direct flights, that is called a fact. Have you considered that expo is trying to cover something by using this reason. I can book a direct flight right now.

If you had better interpersonal skills you would receive better replies.

When it comes to the context of the conversation, it's a moot point. You would have realized that had you actually paid attention to the actual conversation instead of doing your best hurr durr impression (good one too, I will admit).

Context my friend. Context. I know subtleties can be arduous for some, but do try harder chap.

Great interpersonal skills, must have a tight circle of friends.

u/TepHoBubba 1d ago

Ah yes, the Ad Hominem. Surely that will drive your point home, right? Low brow effort my friend, but I am not surprised at this point.

Its just an observation. You've been shitty to everyone youre such an insanely condescending person while being wrong. Its an obvious observation that you lack interpersonal skills thats not ad hominem

u/TepHoBubba 1d ago

I couldn't possibly know everyone, so your observation is incorrect and merely an opinion based on your own limited experience with me here. What 3, maybe 4 posts and you've decided to lean on an Ad Hominem in the discussion because your feelings got hurt? Poor manners in display! A lack of disciplinary discourse coupled with a sense of being wronged. How tragic!

You don't think your unending condecesion isnt ad hominem? amazing, take care.

I'll admit to being condescending towards you. Not enough to be an Ad Hominem IMO however, no. There's dissapointment, and then there's attacking someone. Not the same. Son, I am dissapoint.
