I released my finger from the trigger, and then it was over...
So the cover story on Metro today here in Calgary was basically saying how Brian Jean would step down as Wildrose leader, and run to lead a united Conservative party, if a deal gets done. And an MRU prof commented that it's basically a sign that Jean's career is dead, and it'll be a coronation for Kenney.


Thoughts?

And Canada gets to be Russia in WW3. Trump will make a nonaggression treaty with us, roll tanks in to Mexico, then turn around and invade us to secure our farmland and freeze to death while fighting to gain a foothold on the north side of the Assiniboine.

Kenney is a hateful gently caress, so of course he will appeal most to Wildrose and PC voters in Alberta. Jean, although a complete moron, lacks the malignant streak of Kenney and therefore cannot compete. Of the voters, I just pray most of them will be too drunk or busy beating their wives or loving farm animals on election day to swing the province back to whatever unified bunch of right-wing loons emerges from this horrid process.

There is no loving way the NDP government survives a united right wing in Alberta. They're deeply unpopular because they control world oil prices, I guess, and because the socialists have ruined Alberta according to Your Uncle On Facebook.

Canada would be one of the lovely little Axis countries that everyone forgets about, like Hungary or Romania.

Or we would be mostly annexed and Quebec would get to be Slovakia because the US wouldn't want a bunch of non-Anglos in their country.

In the most bizarre possible timeline China actually becomes the next world power like the media has been dumbly crowing about for years, but not due to their fake excellent economy, but because they tip the scales in World War 3 to defeat America with the help of their Western European allies.

Not sure how Russia plays into this.

If China manages to become a world power it will be because they spend the next 4-8 years moving into the future on things like renewable energy while the US exhausts itself trying to turn back the clock to the 1850s.

Tipsy Tom Clancying aside, that's actually a somewhat potentially realistic outcome.

If the rest of the world goes apeshit and China says "whatever, you guys do you" and uses their incredible efficiency of getting poo poo done (due to lack of giving a poo poo about human life, dignity, environment etc) to turn their economy around, that could actually turn out to be a thing.

quote:

Retired army medic takes the stand in court and denies conducting inappropriate breast exams

GATINEAU, Que. — A former medical technician accused of performing unnecessary and inappropriate breast exams at several military recruiting centres in Ontario is denying the exams ever took place.

Retired petty officer James Wilks faces eight counts of breach of trust and one of sexual assault after six women accused him of conducting the exams at military recruiting centres in London, Windsor and Thunder Bay between 2005 and 2009.

Taking the stand in his own defence, Wilks says he never asked any of the women to take off their shirts or bras or otherwise expose themselves to him, nor did he ever touch any of them.

The women testified to a military court last week that Wilks asked them to take off their shirts and bras so he could visually examine their breasts during routine medical exams for new recruits.

One alleged Wilks also physically performed a breast exam.

Prosecutors and Wilks’s lawyer are expected to deliver their final statements next week, before the five-member military panel begins deliberations on a verdict.


No word on whether this honorable warrior succumbed to this PTSD, driving him to feel women up.

On the contrary, I can completely believe that Benjamin Netanyahu is a hateful loving moron. It's entirely unsurprising -- like waking up to discover that the sky is blue.

I do find it mildly surprising and amusing he went for a Borat-style "Great success" in his tweet. NIIICE, I like!

Old guard neoliberal shitheads still don't know this.

Trudeau is actively doing it right now.

Manuel Valls in France is trying to get elected president on the Socialist Party ticket by presenting himself as the pragmatic moderate face of the left, rather than by trying to offer a real alternative to Fillon or Le Pen.

The Blairites in the UK are still actively fighting against Corbyn as the leader of Labour because they really want to take the party back to less-bad neoliberalism instead of openly fighting the tide of populism.

The Democratic establishment is blaming their loss on Russia and the FBI instead of acknowledging that people didn't want to vote for the lesser of two evils, and are fighting hard to not give the party over to Sanders and the progressives.

The further right the world swings, the more the neoliberal establishment thinks they can win by standing in the middle, because surely this time all those moderates will vote for them instead of getting progressively more radicalized by their progressively more radical political leaders.

yeah all thos billionaires he's tapped for positions must be just quaking. I think the funniest part of all this terrible poo poo is how thoroughly the Trump hoodwinked poor and working class people, and how they still all think he's going to represent their interests instead of his wealthy friends, and the rich in general.
