Our crack (head) Premier is at it again. Red meat for the base, harm for everyone else.

very disgusting to see the Canadian right take the worst pages out of the American playbook, and say "we can bring that up here"

[–] paddythegeek@lemmy.ca 22 points 9 months ago

The most galling part of it all for me is knowing that it’s all political theatre of the worst kind. I feel like we’re all just playing our parts while the unrelenting assholes of the UCP use the cover provided by this misdirection to further their tear down of our health care system and enrichment of their petro-buddies. The maga stuff is a perfect buffet line of sewage from which this government carefully selects their next target to generate more outrage and keep Albertans distracted. Fuckers.

They send plenty of shit down here, too, sadly. The Qanon disease started there and is still strong.

At one point, I had hoped to escape to Canada till I found out it was as sick and dying as the US.

There're strong elements even working to dismantle their healthcare, just like in the UK. There's nowhere to run from the dirty capitalists, sadly.

Unfortunately, unlike Australia, Canada is not an Island. The USA influences us easily.

[–] gwildors_gill_slits@lemmy.ca 5 points 9 months ago

I'm sorry to tell you that being an island doesn't help when the internet and globalised media exist. Australia has plenty of right wing dipshits in government taking notes from the US too.

[–] vaccinationviablowdart@lemmy.ca 1 points 9 months ago

ah yes, australia, the place that is a) an island, and b) doesn't have any US influence.

Alberta’s New Policies: Anti-trans, Anti-evidence

Anti-Canadian, too.

Wish someone would put Danielle Smith in their crosshairs.

EDIT: For those downvoting, you clearly didn't read that Danielle Smith asked to have Federal Minster Steven Guilbeault put in Tucker Carlson's crosshairs.

Actually it is Marlaina Smith. I don't believe she has released a note from her mother permitting her to use Danielle yet.

[–] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Well... I'm in Steven Guilbeault's constituency and that fucker never answers any emails, not even a "we got your letter" from their staff. So he can go fuck himself.

How immature of you.

[–] MrFlagg@lemmy.ca 3 points 9 months ago

ah yes. The "its not happening and you wanting to ban it is fascism" crowd

She's the one thing that makes me feel better about our hash dealer - Ford.
