At this point, conservatism is nothing more than coming up with fantastically irrational fever dreams of non-existent issues, and then getting mad about it.

And exactly what did we do with the First Nations lands in Southern Ontario? There is absolutely no doubt that the environment would be collateral damage. It always has, always will be. The trade-off will never go away. But the Rideau Canal system was done in an environmentally friendly manner, and so too could this venture.

I can also be a communist while using a capitalist built computer… so what?

Conrad Black rescinded his Canadian citizenship so he could get inducted into the British House of Lords. He’s a piece of shit who’ll do anything to benefit himself. Fuck him.

What’s amazing to me is that society views carding as wrong, rightfully so in my opinion. However our laws allow the police to stop anyone driving at any time for no reason and demand ID… and a breath sample, upto and including two hours after you’ve driven. I wish we didn’t live in a “papers please” country.

Hire me into Canada… promise I’ll be a good citizen… I’ve never been military before but if you made me sign up to help defend against with my fellow yanks I’ll do it… Canada, if you’re listening…

Amnesty International is in many aspects a spokesperson for the Vatican. Nothing they say about China can be considered truthful or factual. The Chinese have nothing against the Uighur. They are, in fact, living prosperously and peacefully in China. It is the Uighur terrorists that China has effectively dealt with, and most of the Uighur people support the Chinese efforts. They can now live in peace, free from the terrorist bombings and intimidation. In point of fact, American bombings of the Uighur terrorists killed more Uighur children and citizens than the deaths in China, yet not a word about this massacre the Americans committed against the Uighur. It was this massacre of Uighur civilians that forced them into China in the first place, and it is these displaced Uighur who are doing all the agitating. They HAD a homeland - in Afghanistan. The Americans evicted them from their homeland. Incidentally, it was Trump who ordered the massacre.

Agreed. We should change the definition of ‘suitable housing’ so that a family of four can be housed in a closet with a toilet. /s

America wants it, and provincial powers override federal, so there’s no real alternative than a crisis unfortunately. Europe is actually building their military as well. Which their progressive voters needed a crisis to do so.

I think it’s only the prairies that even have coal plants anymore? Specifically Alberta and Saskatchewan. Manitoba is also a “hydro powerhouse”. And is also an exporter of hydro to Ontario and the US.

Why would produce being local have anything to do with e. coli infection?

Literally every single thing Danielle Smith and the UCP espouse to care about is made worse by Alberta becoming a sovereign nation: Taxes Coastal access Pipelines and transfer taxes Tanker access and global markets Trade sanctions as a function of per capita CO2 emissions Infrastructure access Energy markets Codified projects and say in what they detail Comprehensive national strategy cost averaged down against 40 million instead of 4 million (aka costs 10x). Think about what happens to Albertan property values on separation - literally no one is moving here, and many will leave. The “Alberta Edge” becomes even less tenable, and quality of life rapidly erodes. But maybe they can empty everyone’s pensions before they fuck off into the sunset, once the last drop of blood is squeezed out. They’re really talking about becoming the most taxed 51st state, or an erosion of living standards so sharp they’ll get whiplash. Ghoulish politics.

Meanwhile, Palau doesn’t even get honourable mention….

For those who want the evidence here is but a smattering of Catholic-sponsored posts in the last weeks of the election. All have one thing in common - vote for a candidate who believes in abolishing abortion rights, and who will support other Catholic objectives. Only one candidate fits the bill - PP. https://www.vaticannews.va/en/world/news/2025-04/canadian-bishops-urge-catholics-to-vote-with-a-vision-for-future.html https://www.cccb.ca/announcement/statement-to-the-catholic-faithful-by-the-permanent-council-of-the-canadian-conference-of-catholic-bishops-on-the-2025-federal-election/ https://catholicconscience.org/canada/federal/2025federal/ https://www.catholicnewsworld.com/2025/04/catholic-bishops-of-canada-on-upcoming.html https://news.rcdos.ca/2025/04/25/bishops-urge-catholics-to-vote-with-conscience-hope-and-defence-of-life-in-federal-election/ https://canadiancatholicnews.ca/as-canadian-election-looms-faith-is-not-a-political-position-cccb-president/ https://www.catholicregister.org/item/1935-a-catholic-s-caution-about-mark-carney https://catholicinsight.com/2025/04/27/subsidiarity-subverted-mark-carneys-politics-of-power-without-the-moral-law/ And here is atypical warning shot across the bow in March of things to come if Carney does not toe the Catholic agenda https://www.catholicregister.org/item/1860-carney-beware The message was clear - ban abortion rights or face defeat. And in the last weeks poll numbers for PP shot up. And here is their response to the election, directly from the pens of the Bishops. The Bishops in Canada take their marching orders from the Vatican, a foreign entity in our elections. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/263741/canada-elects-liberal-party-prime-minister-life-issues-fall-by-wayside

I’m not Canadian. I studied in Canada before moving back to my home country. But I genuinely love this country and I want to see Canada thrive. How can I say this without offending anyone…? I’m about to ruffle some feathers. Every single political news that seems to come out of Alberta makes me think "Wow !! These folks seem the most ignorant in Canada" Your Premier Danielle Smith attended a party with Tucker Carlson. This is the same guy who said angry Ottawa truckers should "find Trudeau" and “deal with him”. He wasn’t joking. He said that again and again. Is this really what you want? A bunch of angry guys lynching the Prime Minister? Let’s say it actually happens. They storm his house and beat him up. Then what? What exactly happens next…? How can any self-respecting Canadian Premier attend an event with a man who made these statements? https://www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/article/danielle-smith-facing-federal-criticism-after-participating-in-alberta-tucker-carlson-events/ She was once a newspaper columnist and published articles defending tobacco companies. For instance, she attacked the World Health Organization and claimed smoking wasn’t actually very harmful. She accused scientists of being “corrupt” (lol) and she quoted a tobacco industry lobbyist named Gio Batta Gorri: [image: 293aedbe-0025-41a8-85a1-0a3048c3ba31.jpeg] How did this such dishonest weasel become Head of Government? Now, she introduce a bill that will allow corporations to wire money to Alberta parties: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/alberta-overhauls-election-laws-to-allow-corporate-donations-change-referendum-thresholds-1.7522144 How exactly would that improve the life of ordinary people?? And why are so many members of the Alberta Legislative Assembly going along with this plan?! These stupid politicians didn’t fall from the sky. They all got elected I don’t know why this is happening. It’s so sad.

That’s the one. I don’t know if my memory of that era comports with actual history, but this is how I remember it playing out: It looked like the Conservative attack ads were going to win the election for them again, just as they had against Dion and Ignatieff. They were ahead and gaining in the polls, and the Liberals seemed to have no response. The slogan was, “Trudeau: he’s just not ready.” Then the polls stabilized for a few days, and the Liberals released that ad. The polls started rapidly reversing, and the Liberals decisively swept into power. I don’t think I even saw another, “he’s not ready,” attack ad from the Conservatives again after that. EDIT: One can debate how much of an effect that ad had, and whether Trudeau’s actions matched its promises, but for me it will always stick out as a good bit of political strategy.
