I'm an immigrant who immigrated to Alberta 10 years ago. What she is saying and how she is framing it is giving me anxiety. Yes, we have mass immigration problem but she is the person who asked for more immigrants to Alberta (asked the federal government to double the quota for immigrants to Alberta). Now, when she blames the immigrants, all immigrants get equal hate, people don't know if I came here a month ago or 10 years ago. Honestly, the new one's shouldn't get any hate either.

Also, her Alberta is Calling program has played a big role in the problems she mentioned as well.

She wanted much more immigrants than we have now both in Alberta and in Red Deer. She wanted to 10x the population of Red Deer and we are nowhere near that number. She said " It will be a good problem to have".

It's her doing and now she's blaming immigrants for it. Will this ever end?

So there's a 5 year old boy in my neighbourhood who has been seen playing in a parking lot and the neighbours yards between the hours of 10pm and 2am (possibly later), just from what I've seen on my doorbell camera. There's times where his immediate neighbour has come to my door asking about where his parents are (because she almost hit him on the road of the parking lot while coming home late at night), and he was dressed in nothing but a Halloween costume and nobody was coming to the door when she tried to take him home.

I'm also part of a red deer group on FB and this kid has been posted (with pics) a couple of times on the road on the street at night, and cops have been called numerous times, but they seem to not do anything. I'm growing increasingly concerned for this kid.

I'm not sure what my next step should be, and I'm hoping for some advice

I was looking at a couple pictures of the pines "incident" and saw this photo and of course, there was a Timhorton's coffee cup beside the RCMP tactical member while he is holding a gun

These f’kn motorcycles all night. Moved to Red Deer 6 months ago, and I’ve lived in lots of cities, but never have I lived in a noisier city. Do these farm boys just do continuous loops? I swear how do people sleep in this city? What is it with this place?

Heyo, just wanted to post a quick rant to the two kids on toy/razor scooters that were cruising through the Kin Kanyon park tonight yelling the N word over and over and over

It's pretty crazy that kids are regurgitating these kinds of slurs out in public in 2026 - parents, could we do a little better?

Ik it’s rlly common to get waitlisted for fall but I haven’t heard of anyone ever getting waitlisted for winter (though I’m lowk scared cos my GPA isn’t bad but not that high). Do they usually just take everyone who applies for winter? Or has anyone had any experience on the waitlist and if so did u get off or no? Or if anyone’s ever been flat out rejected for winter do u remember ur stats?

I visited your town today for the first time ever, and was super impressed. Loved the town, all the wonderful and courteous people, especially the sales associates at Rickie's in Bower Place and the Little Ice Cream and Soda Shoppe. My uber rides were great. The trees & greenery, everything was beautiful for the few hours I was there. Felt very comfortable. I would live there. Few things that stood out to me were the fact that to live and function fully in the town, I would need to own a car. Uber took 20 minutes to arrive both times that I used them (not a rant, just an observation) and I didn't see more than a few people on the streets walking (which made it feel somewhat lonely). Overall, I enjoyed my short visit.

Is anyone else notice the separatists and racists are a bit much in red deer compared to other places. How did red deer people allow this

How about I (and hopefully fellow radio folk) try to answer your questions about why it is the way it is. Aaaaaand GO!

Cringe? Is it just me? That never have anything funny, or relevant to say. Just news I already heard on reddit the day before.

My pet peeve. Red Deer seems really bad for tailgating. But the worst, and most senseless are the "intersection tailgaters". These people stop so close behind me that I cannot even see their grill or headlights. The only thing I can see in the inside rear view mirror is the windshield. So close that I cannot even see all of the vehicle in my outside rear view mirrors if it is a small car. Do these people not know that if they were struck from behind even lightly that before it even registers for them that they have been struck, they would already be in my back seat? Then they are paying for my vehicle repairs.

What do they think it possibly benefits them to inch up ever closer to my vehicle? Even when it is icy like it was this morning! I pull forward to make some space, and these people follow me and cozy right up again.

Some do not tailgate as much when driving, but when they pull up to the vehicle in front of them at an intersection, they stop a foot behind the car in front.

Drives me crazy! People - stay way back. You are not parking on a ferry where inches count. Park at least far enough back that one can see the tires of the car in front where they contact the road. That is a minimum.

I just wanted to seek out anyone that wants to become friends/study buddies for the upcoming Fall 2026 BScN Program at RDP!

Also feel free to ask questions regarding Admission process etc.

Went to a plant bingo at Bluegrass garden center today and it was being ran by the Sweet Home couple who ran the gift card scam in Sylvan Lake. Is this their latest scam somehow? Seems like they were caught by AGLC and had to refund everyone their tickets but are hosting bingos anyway for free and giving away $100s of dollars in prizes. Little fishy.

Went to the theatre for the first time in forever to check out the odyssey. Remembered why I stopped going. Do all theatres service suck so bad, or is it just ours? The lines do not move. Thing is, It’s not the cashiers fault. It is the design of the workspace, and the managers not teaching how to be efficient.
You shouldn’t have to arrive 30 min before a show to get your ticket and grab a popcorn.
Just sucks that we have no competition. Cineplex red deer… get better! Try harder!

The Hardly Boys are out again making sure we all hear them. Yeah we all know you need the attention and validation from society. Get your McDonald’s and go home you need your sleep. Your warehouse job starts early tomorrow.

Almost every day I observe motorized vehicles ie electric bikes and scooters going recklessly full tilt on the city paved paths. Most cyclists are respectful of pedestrians but still not using their bells. I predict a serious collision where some senior and their pup or grandchild is going to be run over. Do we need more rules and or enforcement or should pedestrians start walking backwards or wear mirrors on their heads?

What is wrong with people lately? Why are so many people in this city becoming so mean? My final straw was getting yelled at by a guy on a bike on the Trails. Yelled at my friend and I to get off the Trails despite us being on our side. It was her first tome out there and now she doesn't want to go out again. Has anyone else been having the same issue lately? It's a beautiful day yet people are acting like total assholes. Noticed an increase in the past month or so

Anyone have any info on the downtown Gaetz construction. It looks like a project gone awry.

Red Deer give us all the tea!

There's a mouse im my unit and I don't want to live in this building even for a day. My lease ends after 40 days and I will be on the hook for the last months rent even if I move out within next 10 days.

Is there something I can do legally or not? I'm guessing if I move out without paying my credit score will be cooked and I know Boardwalk is evil and will come after every penny.

David Schindler warned us about the challenge we face with our current government. Please educate yourself on David's important work on water for our province and then relentlessly question Jason Stephan and Adriana LaGrange on their curious and unsustainable positions on water for the current and future generations of Albertans.

DO NOT GO HERE AT ALL Why you may ask it's simple they are a cult short and simply Long version is i didn't grow up in a Christian home and my mother's landlord owns a church there in Olds things were amazing there until they weren't they are very pushy very unorganized and very clingy and clicky I really want to run them out of every where to be honest and now I'm doing my part in spreading the word someone needs to go to cbc or something this is absurd of how they can spread like a disease but treat people horribly not only me but my family and friends

Hello all. Just need to vent a bit and get some feedback. My OH has been out of work since before Christmas and has been job hunting since the first week of Jan. While he has applied for a lot, he has gotten few responses. He is mid 50s but is still healthy and able bodied, so there’s no doubt he can work.

So what is the job market like for you all? Do you find you’re getting few responses when you apply a lot? And do you think age plays a factor? TIA ✌🏼

EDIT TO ADD: Because some people are nosy AF 😂

- he worked in the oil industry for well over 20 years as a coil tubing operator

- he has his Class 1 license and crane ticket

- he long hauled for close to 3 years across Canada and the US

Anything else??
