i love to enrage some of my most loyal supporters in a bid for people who will never ever vote for me. the finest minds in politics have assured me this is a great strategy. it's fine because my opposition has begun to promote unvarnished fascism and people would never vote for fascism. and my loyal base will definitely still turn out to vote for a lying turncoat lib they despise

Hey man, it's real - I was just there visiting family. My cousin wouldn't shut up about how great Putin is, and kept complaining about women and "colored people" being in the military.

Last time I was there he and his dad beat his gay brother half to death around the campfire.

Alberta is thriving.

Was also just there, it's amazing how quick that stuff gets a hold of people. My mom just moved to Edmonton, shes pretty left leaning. However, shes already switched positions on KM, saying that if it goes though it will be very good for the value of the house she just bought.

It's fine, Mayor-King-Premier Ford will Privatize and sell the infrastructure to balance the budget and then it will be somebody else's problem.

Hopefully Kenney promises a buck a beer too so i can at least drink myself to death when he wins. :smith:

Define "fix". I mean, it probably wasn't built properly in the first place.

OTOH, the poor bastards that were trapped inside until they had to swim out managed not to get cooked like a hotdog, so at least the electrical held up

the sad part is tons of albertans truly believe this, all those friaser institutes did an amazing job the past 5 years convincing alberta that the tar sands are clean and great and that the rest of canada doesnt work even a quarter as hard as alberta


so now everyone is mad at the idea of taxation and putting money into the province, something the filthy NDP and their stupid WOMAN leader keep trying to push on the already perfect province that wont ever see another price crash on oil
