Cynical me wonders about the timing of this surprise deficit, with Mintz Report due any day now and Alberta Next “town hall” rallies ongoing…

doing preventative maintenance on a planned schedule is always cheaper in the long run. except when these clowns run on “reducing waste and overspending” until they’re elected and have the great idea to invest in fixing things for once (at a 3x premium because it’s rushed as a result of a catastrophic failure…)

This coordinated war on bike lanes sure is curious. All of a sudden, different cities, states, provinces are all working to remove bike lanes. Almost like there’s someone coordinating it all.

He expects to be comped. The tip is him being there.

Smith’s pattern of “what’s the quickest way to capitulate to foreign governments so that I can crow about how the federal government is failing Alberta?”

The culture of western Canada isn’t that different - we have a handful of Libertarian Karens with some mysterious funding/coordination backing them.

Why is your junk so weird like that?

A TACO says what?

A small price to pay to lock in that sweet 10% discount. Too bad the drug was a syrup that was too thick to use by Alberta’s on standard. Winning!

More like a cross between radio shack and Best Buy?

“You say the artificial line is at the top of your country. It’s at the bottom of ours. If we remove the line, you’d be joining Canada…”

Sounds like MemoryExpress?

so… the Loyal Opposition is part of the Federal government. It’s not some separate thing.

same - wasn’t going to link to it. it looks like disinformation through and through. I’m trying/hoping to find out where they get their “news” because it’s become the driving narrative for a family member and “buddy, that just looks suss as hell” doesn’t quite cut it.

“I need to call a snap election so I have a clear mandate to fight back hard against American aggression.”

and then, after the election:

“It’s not aggression, really. They hit us because they love us. We shouldn’t make them do that.”

hunting people in wheelchairs seems more likely from the UCP…

The “Let’s let the radioactive shrapnel fall in Canada before it gets to the States” dome? No thanks.

“I am in complete control and micro-manage every aspect of my government” does not pair well with “how on earth could I have possibly known about this, the deal that I enthusiastically pumped for political points against Trudeau during the pandemic? HOW?”

UofC is doing the same, nominally because DEI is now not a separate thing so why does it need a dedicated office? (but also because it’s a signal to the province that they’re not woke so please be nice to them)

but I thought that guy insists that The Wall is needed to solve the problem. Now you say it’s more nuanced than that???
