“I truly fail to understand how many moderate Canadians have suddenly become comfortable with Pierre Poilievre as our next Prime Minister, a politician who openly declared how ‘proud’ he was of the Trucker Convoy, a movement fuelled by QAnon conspiracies, whose members attacked journalists, peed on national monuments, brandished Nazi imagery and posters with Trudeau in a noose, and whose organizers were affiliated with overtly racist, white supremacist groups.”

Pierre Poilievre’s rage-baiting and empty slogans aren’t what Canada needs

Misinformation Decided the US Election https://t.co/ijIyQmCSDh
"Polling data show that Donald Trump’s supporters were deeply misinformed about most of the campaign’s defining issues."
"If the answer is that more than half of the electorate wants to be misinformed, America – and indeed human civilization – is in serious trouble."

"Ethical" oil and gas is my husband being blacklisted by an oil company he was contracting for because he took the weekend off to go with me to my sister's
funeral. "Ethical" oil and gas is using small businesses as credit by paying them in 120 days to never.
Hey look it’s wife of an oil lobbyist, who acts as an oil sycophant in her role as “environmental minister”, quoting the oil lobbyist in a trench coat pretending to represent small business in the YYC core.
@RickBellwrites@calgaryherald There are 85,000 UCP members
The leadership vote capped at 6,000 members and cost $399 to attend.
Only 4,600 UCP members
Only 4,200 UCP members voted for smith
Only 4.9% of all UCP members have a thumbs up to smith.
That’s not a win, Rick.
You know that
“Marriage is between a man and a woman!”
No it ain’t.
In Alberta, it can be children as young as sixteen.
Because that’s “tradition”.
Evidently, it’s also “tradition” to restrict access to healthcare for transsexuals, what with the UCP blocking all treatment for minors and delisting all treatments for adults.
Funny, how that “tradition” didn’t even get mentioned until recently.
It never came up during the election.
But like in the Tea-party-Republican parts of the United States, FUCKING POLITICAL POLLING has determined that enough of YOU can be convinced that trans people are a threat to single them out for abuse.
Because this is about YOU!
Are you threatened by trans people?
Have you ever met one?
If they are such a threat, there must be a famous case of a horrible trans person. Can you name one?
You can’t, because you don’t even know why it’s an issue, do you?
It’s an issue because the pig ignorant racists and roughnecks that make up the Alberta Conservatives base are convinced it’s an issue by American Christian cult members.
Because they have no imagination of their own, Smith and her cronies have seized on this culture issue to hide their incompetence and their theft of opportunities and wealth from Albertans.
I am reminded that we had “Christian” leaders in Alberta for all the decades when we were a have not province.
Most of you won’t remember when this province was poor as dirt, bars were segregated by sex, and our population was close to Saskatchewan.
But goddam, you seem nostalgic for it.
If YOU don’t agree with Smith’s plot to destroy Alberta, you had better get loud about it.
If you do agree with Smith, you don’t want to talk to me.
I will not hold back my outrage.
You blind, pig ignorant, amoral sheep.
.@AbDanielleSmith will have to live with the responsibility for all harm and tragedies this law will cause.
Couple of years ago, Danielle brought up her own transgender niece and swore that she’d never do this.
She did. For a leadership win.

In this 2017 recording, Epstein talks about Trump’s tactics, pitting staff against each other and trash-talking people like Bannon, Priebus, and Conway behind closed doors. And here’s the kicker: Wolff says he has over 100 hours of Epstein recordings on Trump, ready to release more as we head toward the election.
Michael Wolff just dropped a bombshell—he’s got a recording of Jeffrey Epstein spilling insider details about Trump’s White House, describing it as a chaotic circus that Trump himself stoked.
Sam Mraiche entire business plan and mission statement was
“We’re going to steal taxpayer money”
And Danielle Smith, Jason Kenney and the cabinet ministers were happy to oblige.
What was there kickback?
What absolute rot. This government has done a lot of dumb things, but the only thing disintegrating Canada is premiers with names like Smith and Moe and Legault defying the constitution and breaking the law.
Canada is disintegrating https://t.co/BGRhjsuTMR
