@Doobyscoo1234@ABHank76467601@KirkLubimov Well this account is a backup Jensen’s the followers in 4 years since you’re still hung up on that. And I get it you’re pro government wasting money. That’s fine man. I’m not a fan of it and that’s my perspective.
@Doobyscoo1234@ABHank76467601@KirkLubimov You brought up the follower count, not me. Now you’re explaining that followers just magically appear from good conversations. You don’t get to open with a profile check and then act like you’re above it. The bigger issues don’t make the smaller waste disappear.
@Doobyscoo1234@ABHank76467601@KirkLubimov That’s the same energy as bickering girls in a group chat going ‘she only has 12 friends.’ When the actual argument runs out, the follower count is always the next move. Cute move little guy.
@ABHank76467601@Doobyscoo1234@KirkLubimov I can be pissed about both. The daily interest is a disaster. A $130M non-binding referendum that still couldn’t open on time is also a waste.
One doesn’t cancel the other, and ‘your friends’ doesn’t change the invoice.
@ABHank76467601@Doobyscoo1234@KirkLubimov The national debt interest is a disaster. Using it to defend a provincial $130M stunt is just ‘look over there’ with extra steps. One doesn’t excuse the other.
@Doobyscoo1234@WeAreCanProud You’re right, we won’t get anywhere. You started by defending a $130M non-binding referendum with missing furniture, then pivoted to federal waste, then childcare lotteries, then ‘all governments waste money so this is fine.’
That’s not side-stepping. That’s the entire defence.
@Doobyscoo1234@KirkLubimov All governments waste money so this one is fine’ is the softest defence possible.
You’re not arguing the $130M was well spent. You’re arguing that because other governments are also bad, we should stop noticing this one. That’s not principle. That’s just team loyalty
@Doobyscoo1234@WeAreCanProud You’re the one who dragged federal spending into a defence of Alberta’s $130M referendum. Now that it doesn’t land, suddenly they’re ‘two different topics
@Doobyscoo1234@KirkLubimov You’re fine with the $130M temp check the same way people are fine with burning money once they’ve already spent it.
Calling it useful because other governments waste more doesn’t make this one productive. It just means the bar is on the floor.
@Doobyscoo1234@WeAreCanProud Defending a $130M non-binding referendum by pointing at federal waitlists is wild. Both can be expensive theatre that mostly helps the connected.
@Doobyscoo1234@KirkLubimov So when the results don’t match the narrative it’s suddenly ‘leftist nutbars’ and ‘minions,’ but when you thought it would go your way it was a vital democratic gauge.
Convenient. The $130M temperature check only counts when the thermometer agrees with you.
@Doobyscoo1234@KirkLubimov No provincial census so we needed this’ is a wild defence. Most provinces manage to know how their population feels without staging a multi-day hand-count and running out of furniture. The loud people were already loud. This just made the rest of us pay for the volume check.
@Doobyscoo1234@KirkLubimov She already knew the province was pissed. She didn’t need a $130M hand-count to figure that out. She just needed an expensive way to look like she was doing something.
@Doobyscoo1234@KirkLubimov The people wanted numbers’ is cute when 8 of the 10 questions were government-written talking points, not citizen initiatives, and none of them are binding. Calling $130M ‘tolerable’ because you’re mad at Ottawa is just admitting you’d rather burn money on a tantrum than fix it.
@Doobyscoo1234@KirkLubimov Drop in the bucket’ is carrying a lot of weight for $130M on a non-binding tantrum that couldn’t even get results out on time because they ran out of furniture and staff.
Pointing at federal spending doesn’t make the provincial waste any less stupid.
@JohnLeePettim13 I found it funny how many dumb people came out of the woodworks actually thinking a province would separate. What a good use of $130 for a tantrum. How dumb does someone have to be to actually believe they would leave.
