It's be interesting to see what it's like to have a Sovereign Citizen as premier for a bit. If Jason Kenney is warning you about fringe elements and 'populism with a snarl' entering the UCP, you know you're in dire straits.

It's not true that the willfully unvaccinated are the most discriminated-against. Child molesters are discriminated against to a far, far greater degree. And, like the willfully unvaccinated, they loving deserve it because they're awful excuses for human beings.

You can grow it elsewhere, but it's just not the same. I wish I could say I was surprised by this new Alberta nonsense but then I'd be lying.

It's also just their way of deflecting criticism from blue collar resource workers who's jobs are swiftly being automated away. "Out of work? That's Ottawa's fault!"

But sure, I get your point.

In the US, it's the same with federal and state laws. The biggest difference is in the plenary powers. In the USA, the States hold any powers not explicitly granted to the federal government. In Canada, the feds hold any powers not explicitly granted to the province. In Canada the federal government is far more likely to prevail on a dispute with the provinces than the USGov with the states.

Randalor posted:I should be surprised that she said that the willingly unvaccinated were the most discriminated people when the last residential school closed within living memory, but I'm not. It's far worse than that. She didn't qualify the statement as pertaining to Canada, and she was born in 1971, so her lifetime encompasses a good chunk of South Africa under apartheid and also the Khmer Rouge, the Rwandan genocide, etc. Mind you I expect her base includes a large number of people in this province who speak with a not-quite-Dutch accent for some reason and all found their way over here around the same time in the early 90s, so she'd not bring that first part up.

She made a thoughtless statement, and she seems like an awful person, but imagining she meant that the restrictions on the unvaccinated were worse than residential schools or apartheid seems like a stretch to me. It sounded like she went to score a political point with her base. Maybe I am being too generous.

Yeah, if you're going to say something like "the NEP was the worst thing to happen in the 20th century", you should probably be prepared to add some qualifiers when called on it.

I believe she didn't actually mean the restrictions on the unvaccinated were worse than genocide or apartheid, because I believe she is a pillock with a half-inch of brain, who is unaware of those things entirely, on the basis that they did not affect her personally. If she were any dumber, she'd have to be watered. It still makes her completely unfit for office, of course.
