Well, “you get what you pay for” seems especially relevant today.

Jesus fucking Christ America.

The man is a morally corrupt sexual predator with no redeeming qualities.

He has been laughed at behind his back by other world leaders. He was laughed at when giving an address to the General Assembly of the United Nations. Nancy Pelosi rightly torn up his State of the Union speech. He is directly responsible for the attack on the Capitol. He is responsible for the deaths of millions of Americans.

He thought Haitians were eating cats and dogs.

He claimed that abortions were occurring in the ninth month and babies were being executed after birth.

He made a joke about the widow of Corey Comperatore at the rally in Harrisburg.

Well, a lot of people won’t be travelling to the US after January 21st.

I repeat, Jesus fucking Christ America.

Rest assured that it won’t happen.

As a new member of the NDP, you should be glad to know the the Fiscal Plan 2024-27 released by Nate Horner, President of the Treasury Board and Finance Minister last February is rife with fraud, corruption, and comedy gold.

The only pages you really need to refer to are 11, 12, and 17.

Page 11 Revenue)
What the UCP calls “Federal Transfers from the Government of Canada” is our fiction.

To start, the federal transfer program will give $8.165 billion to Alberta to assist with funding of healthcare and social services. In no known universe does $8.165 billion equal the budget line item of $12.60 billion identified as “Federal Transfers. Where does that full amount of $8.165 billion go, @ABDanielleSmith? Not healthcare or social services. If it did, the total would show up in the expense side of the ledger. I’m not an accountant, but I can add and subtract in a ledger just fine.

Where is the money given to the City of Calgary to fund the GreenLine?

The UCP hatred of all things federal carbon tax is a joke. Ottawa returns 90% of all monies collected as carbon levies on fossil fuel polluters and the carbon tax levied on consumer goods.

A family of four receives $1800 annually, including, ironically, Danielle Smith’s family.

I could go on but the comedy gold on page 17 has to be addressed.

If you plan to revitalize the Heritage Trust Fund (assets valued at about $23 billion at the end of last March) by investing $2 billion annually with the intent to increase the fund’s value to $400-$500 million by 2050 to join the ranks of jurisdictions like Alaska, Norway who boast Sovereign Wealth Funds large enough to replace their reliance on resource revenue, I have some ocean front property to sell you.

The Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund will have assets of $1.76 trillion by the end of November 2024.

Now, I’m not a financial guy by any stretch of the imagination but if you are investing $2 billion annually in a fund with a less than stellar annual rate of return (see the AIMCo financial performance over the last 10 years) with the intent to see it’s value to the $400-$500 billion range, I would suspect that you copied Donald J. Trump exams while you were both enrolled at the prestigious Wharton School of Business, where one of Trump’s professors said that “Trump was the goddam dumbest student he ever had.

The plan is that bad.

Why people keep voting for the UCP is a mystery.

Full disclosure. I’m planning to run as an MLA for the NDP in the next election.

I have to ask. Are 50% of Americans certifiably insane, choosing an incompetent, incoherent doofus to be their choice for the most powerful office in the world?

He talked about Haitians eating Cayla’s and dogs, you morons. He claimed that the legally landed Haitian immigrants are here illegally.

WTAF?

@TheBreakdownAB Of course they are.
3 more years. Uggggggghhhh
I hope more Albertans unite against UCP.

Brilliant. Any time is a good time to poke fun at clueless rage badgers.

Say, JRG, you should patent the phrase “Rage Badger” or “Rage Badgers”, and sell merch like coffee mugs or t-shirts with the likeness of @PierrePoilievre or @ABDanielleSmith emblazoned upon them.

I would buy one of each.

In Alberta, given the snake oil that these two keep trying to sell to the rubes in their ill-informed base, I’m surprised that no one has tried this.

The negative publicity to follow would be legendary.

I can see my campaign ads for running as an NDP candidate in Calgary already.

“My name is Scott Partridge, and I approve this message.”

I’m only half-joking.

@realDonaldTrump At this point, I am mildly surprised that even @realDonaldTrump will be voting for himself. He is that bad of a candidate for the GOP.

Aida de Acosta made history in 1903 as the first woman to pilot a powered aircraft, flying the airship *Baladeuse*. At just 19 years old, she was inspired to take to the skies after witnessing the flight of the *Giffard* airship and the burgeoning field of aviation.

Cats are their own masters with distinct personalities, even within the same litter.

When picked up a homeless tuxedo cat at our local vet one Christmas Eve as a gift for the kids.

His brother, a grey ball of fluff was in the cage with him, so of course we took both.

The temperament of Whiskers, the tuxedo cat was such that his visage would give Grumpy Cat a good run at a Grumpiest Cat contest, but he was mean to humans he didn’t know, which was everyone.

I picked him up at the vet after a checkup, when perhaps not surprisingly, the vet assistant asked me for assistance to get him out of his cage. While I was back with the cages was about half of them were adorned with a red warning tag to indicate an aggressive cat.

Whiskers was in the only cage with two.

I asked the vet assistant if that meant what I thought it did.

“Yep.”

His brother Fiska, on the other hand was as laid back as Bob Marley at a ganga festival. He was so laid back, we took him on PALS visits to LTC, hospitals and hospice facilities.

He was very popular, as he was the only cat who had qualified for PALS up until that time. Whiskers, needless to say, didn’t.

Why my wife was willing to let me put him in his kennel for transport to the testing facility was a useless exercise, although looking back on it now, she might had been inclined to do it for the sheer entertainment value, but that would have been unfair to him as it was to me.

@patgagnon_75 It won’t matter. He’ll never be near the PMO, ever since the CPC tried to kill the CDCP and Pharmacare.

[Patrick Gagnon 🍁 @patgagnon_75]

So let me get this straight: first, the "honourable" Stephen Harper endorsed Pierre Poilievre's 'leadership", and now his IDU just endorsed Donald Trump's "leadership" . Don't tell me Pierre's conservative "common sense" is any different than Donald's MAGA "common sense".

Las Vegas bookmakers should place over/under betting odds of how many electoral votes Trump will get tomorrow.

I'd lay good money down on 120 Trump electoral votes for the under.

Given Trump's recent meltdowns on the campaign trail, I'd wager that all of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Iowa, Georgia, Florida, and yes, even blood red Texas and Alaska might flip blue this election cycle.

Prove me wrong, MAGAts.

Twitter's own @SassyMetisChick has a podcast "The Storyteller's Circle: Indigenous Myths and Folklore", available on Amazon Music and Spotify.

The episodes include vignettes into the tragic history of the Métis in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, a sadly untold part of Canadian history.

Do you know how long I heard gentle ribbing about “The Partridge Family” TV show, not just because my last name is ‘Partridge’, but because serendipitously, my mother’s first name was ‘Shirley’.

That’s right.

Thanks to all of you, I now have the image in my mind of my crazy mother doing a strip tease. With all love and affection, my mother was definitely a crazy person.

It’s fortunate that you’re a non-profit organization, or I’d ask for a free pass for mental anguish suffered when I visit, hopefully next summer…LOL.

@WeatherValkyrie You have an ass worthy of my wife’s, although she had a red tiger lily where you have your heart tattoo.

She got it for me specifically because the colour, according to her, meant “passion and confidence“.

There is nothing sexier than a passionate, confident partner.
