Blairmore latest Alberta community to lose bank branch — a trend seen across Canada
Valerie Robinson has been a CIBC customer for almost 30 years. Now, that’s coming to an end.
She lives and does her banking in the Crownest Pass town of Blairmore, Alta..
The bank notified the community of 1,500 in September that the local branch will close on Feb. 5. The nearest other CIBC branch is about 40 kilometres away in Pincher Creek.
CIBC will remove its ATM in Blairmore too.
Robinson is worried about locals’ reduced access to cash: the currency of the small transactions that fund the life of the town.
“All of our fundraising, like with the service groups, curling, sports activities for kids — you're not going to have a kid going around with a debit machine to sell their raffle tickets, you know.”
CachyOS founder explains why they didn't join the new Open Gaming Collective (OGC)

Hi,
We have thought about this but we opted out, since we do not see all too much benefit from our side. Handheld stuff is not our major focus. Also, we had some concerns that this could get a "burocractic loophole", which seemd to be more or less true so far.
Additionally, to us all this "initiative" locked like an emergency rushed thing, so that Bazzite finds new kernel maintainers and for other technical stuff after kicking the maintainer, which basically made most integration work for them
We neither want to be associated with "Playtron" too. There are more reasons, but Ill keep them out of the public

in reply to mrdown • • •I understand how this can all be a major issue to deal with, and can even be lethal, but I fail to see how it's Hydro-Québec's responsibility to make sure pipes don't freeze in people's homes.
Does HQ have any obligation to provide constant service to residential customers?

in reply to mrdown • • •We were without power for 48 hours. We were lucky enough to have a generator, I spent probably about $60 on fuel to keep my unit just barely above zero (heater said 3 degrees celsius).
People fled to their friends and families. Two elderly people died. Many more had nowhere to go and suffered.
As you said, HQ knew this substation was failing for years, and chose to do nothing until people died. And even then, I'm not sure they're gonna learn anything from this event.
