Will conservative voters EVER lift their heads out of the sand to take a look around and see what kinda 'movement' they are supporting?

Or maybe they ARE aware of who they're endorsing, and approve of it?

But get nervous and fidgety when the people they do endorse and vote for 'say and do the thing out loud', that should only be said and done behind closed door meetings at UCP and Conservative Party conventions?

Pierre Poilievre, a career politician who got his taste buds whet for corporate & government grift as a teenager selling Reform Party memberships for Preston 'REFOOOOOOORM' Manning at shopping malls in Calgary, qualified for a FULL GOVERNMENT PENSION at the age of only 31, fifteen years ago.

But that doesn't stop PP from accusing Jagmeet Singh of supporting the Liberal minority government because Mr. Singh is ONLY interested in getting his own government pension.

Are Canada's MAGA-inspired politicians so numb from a lifetime of corporate & government grifting and being obedient servants to forces hostile to Canada's national interests and unity, that they have no ability for an ounce of self-reflection anymore?

It appears so.

The next question is WHY do so many voters support such hypocrites?

While Danielle Smith and her cohort of corporate co-conspirators were in Mar-a-lago attempting to sell-out the rest of the country to Donald Trump (to advantage Alberta's mostly American-controlled oil industry - with the apparent blessing of Pierre Poilievre), Smith's Conservative minions were busy exploiting the distraction to sell out the health, safety, well-being, and environmental interests of Albertans at home, to enrich an Australian coal mining billionaire who doesn't give two sh*ts about poisoning Alberta's water supply with selenium for decades to come.

kleptocracy (noun): 'a society or system ruled by people who use their power to steal their country's resources.'
(Oxford Dictionary)

Will Conservative voters, who say they 'care' about the future of Alberta, EVER take their blinders off?

Or continue to be willfully ignorant and blind to what's happening right under their noses?

Then whine and complain about the 'terrible' decisions made by the government they just voted in and say they will continue to vote for in the future? Then repeat the whole stupid process over and over and over again and completely waste the time of organizations and individuals working TIRELESSLY to make this province a slightly less sh*tty place to move to and settle down in?

Judging from history, it will be the latter: Alberta's Conservative voters will continue to stick their tongue on the frozen metal light pole for the umteenth time, then cry out and moan in pain that Justin Trudeau, or __________ [insert convenient UCP-approved scapegoat here], 'made them do it'.

And the 'opinion columns' of Alberta's conservative mass media will predictably erupt in screeds of tedious columns from old White men bursting with worn out cliches from the 1990s that 'nobody understands Alberta's 'specialness'. While the rest of Canada just rolls their eyes in weariness at Alberta's Rich Spoiled Brat Syndrome.

For a province filled with so much political drama, Alberta is still as MAGA-beige & boring and predictable as I always remembered it to be. Only it keeps getting worse.

CBC NEWS
(Canada's public broadcaster founded in 1936 that Pierre Poilievre and the Conservative Party have PROMISED to ERADICATE if/when they form govt):

"The 1976 coal policy was previously scrapped by the Alberta government in 2021, but was later reinstated temporarily following a period of public pushback.

"One of the biggest consequences of the revocation of the policy from 1976 was that the department of energy started to issue hundreds, if not thousands, of coal leases immediately, Bankes said.

"These leases were based on old applications that had been on hold for decades but were kept on file, he said.

"The Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society released a statement on Monday, writing that it believed the move served to illustrate that the government's coal modernization plans "will serve to cater to the coal industry."

""This is a profoundly short-sighted and irresponsible decision by the Minister of Energy and Minerals that puts the health, future and prosperity of Alberta, and our communities, at grave risk," wrote Katie Morrison, executive director at CPAWS Southern Alberta, in a statement. "We will be fiercely opposing this new direction — and we know we won't be alone. Albertans have fought this fight before and won.""

Ignorance really is bliss.

And Alberta's corporate/mainstream media is determined to keep as many Albertans as 'blissful' as possible in this inward-looking insular province. By painting the outside world as a big bad scary place filled with Justin Trudeau look-a-likes and lazy easterners wanting a piece of Alberta's USA-stamped apple pie.

Cults thrive in this environment, and fresh thinking dies from neglect – along with any sense of vibrant culture. Instead, Albertans are offered up a steady stream of mediocrity and outdated moldy ideas from the bargain basement discount bin of ‘Discredited & Stupid Ideas from the Past’ from some faceless beige and boring American corporate franchise. Then be told by some boomer who dropped out of high school in grade 11 to become a rich Tory fundraising suppository, or some young fresh young graduate with a Business English Marketing Diploma from a Christian Evangelical college, that neon parachute pants from the 1980s (and punching down at the defenceless, and sucking up to the rich and powerful) are ‘all the rage’ in Paris and London and New York.

Yeah I know, if you spend a considerable amount of time digging, you’ll find sparks of new life bursting through the dirt and mud in a multitude of beautiful colours in Alberta. Better enjoy it while you can, before it gets crushed, or transplants itself to another province, that has more fertile soil to nurture delicate shoots of new ideas into adulthood.

No. This is Alberta, where ‘we’ prefer to stick with the old and worn out worst ideas of the past. That you can buy at a 75% discount in the bargain basement discount bin of a pop-up chain retailer in the Bonnie Doom mall. Sure, one pant leg is shorter than the other and the back pockets were sewn on to the front. But nobody will notice, if we hire enough howler monkeys to scream from the rooftops that it's all Justin Trudeau's fault.

It's depressing living in a province filled with so many climate science deniers, who BLISSFULLY REJOICE at the prospect of pumping more CO2 into the atmosphere and impeding the planet’s ecosystem to host the essential building blocks of LIFE.

Maybe it’s better to live in ignorance and bliss, if you plan to stay in Alberta for any length of time. Maybe if you work hard sucking up to the rich and powerful enough, some day you’ll be rewarded with some cushy 6-figure job folding envelopes for a Deputy Assistant Minister of Red Tape Reduction, or shovelling bu****it into the gaping American apple pie-holes in the Opinion Columns of Alberta’s American-owned taxpayer-subsidized daily newspapers...whining about govt spending on the poor and disenfranchised...and still whining when taxpayers subsidize your salary and benefits to do so.

Or maybe we need another provincial election in Alberta ASAP, before the oil and gas lobby sells us all down the river in a leaky boat without a paddle.

Happy Monday!

Think I need another coffee.

If Danielle Smith wants to trigger a 'national unity crisis', than she should call a provincial election to receive a mandate from Albertans to do so.

Here is a petition you can sign if you're in favour of having a provincial election ASAP: https://www.change.org/p/urge-premier-smith-of-alberta-to-initiate-a-provincial-election?recruiter=1209948439&recruited_by_id=1c11e4d0-c86c-11eb-ab49-33faf8d6a564&utm_source=share_petition&utm_campaign=psf_combo_share_initial&utm_medium=copylink&utm_content=cl_sharecopy_490379143_en-CA%3A6

David Climenhaga:

"If Alberta Premier Danielle Smith intends to defy an all-party, all-province, national consensus on how to respond to Donald Trump’s tariff threats, she should call a provincial election and get a mandate to do so.

"After all, notwithstanding the disproportionate number of MAGA ideologues and Alberta separatists in her United Conservative Party caucus and cabinet, most Albertans are loyal Canadians who put their country first.

"We need a government in Alberta with a clear mandate if we are to step outside the national consensus in what is potentially the gravest economic crisis our country has faced since the Great Depression."

Can't think of anything to add to this post from Thomas A. Lukaszuk.

Corporate Alberta makes all Albertans look like a bunch of whiny spoiled children throwing tantrums in the grocery store, because his mother won't give in to demands of buying every sugar-packed sweet her toddler points to.

Those southern Florida ocean breezes sure do wonders for a person's complexion.

Or maybe Ms. Smith bumped into Dr. Oz in Mar-a-lago, and the TV doctor shared some 'secrets' to immediately reverse the aging process by twenty-five years. And all Ms. Smith had to do was stabotage Canada's united front in tariff negotiations with Donald Trump, to give Trump the upper hand.

Ah yes, because a young + hot AI generated picture of Dani is gonna change my mind.

Is Danielle Smith now on Trump's payroll AND Alberta's oil and gas industry's payroll?

Or is it just incompetence and poor judgement?

Or perhaps....'All of the above'...?

She blocked out the maple leaf.

While Danielle Smith parties it up at Mar-a-lago and goes awol, Canada's Premiers get together to form a united front against Donald Trump.

I wonder how many UCP voters would prefer Alberta to become a 51st state in Donald Trump's dystopian vision of America, rather than remain a province of a stable and moderate Canada?

01/15/2025

I wonder how Danielle Smith and the UCP would respond if wildfires reached the suburbs of Edmonton or Calgary?

The same way many Republicans are responding to wildfires in Los Angeles? By blaming liberal mayors and city councils of those cities, and making drowning people answer correctly a series of poorly written questions on a multiple choice test - before lifting them onto their boat?

Nah, I'm sure she would act totally rationally. 😳😱🫠

Andrew Scheer? DONE.

Erin O'Toole? DONE.

Pierre Poilievre? GETTING A 3rd MAKE-OVER.

That's what I heard too!

In other news, Facebook is getting rid of professional fact-checkers and researchers, so the rich can flood the social media platform with bots and advertising pushing alt-right disinformation.

What a time to be alive.

Since they are not checking anymore, I have no way to tell if this rumor is true or not.

Wonder if Danielle has recovered from her hungover press conference from a hotel bed at a secret location yet?

She looks in rough shape.
What did the Donald do to her?
Never mind, I don't wanna know the details.

When European colonizers in South Africa wanted to codify into law an apartheid racist state in South Africa, they turned to Canada's 'Indian Reservation' system as a model on how to do that.

South Africa's indigenous Black population consists of about 60% of the total population of South Africa, while Canada's indigenous population at the passing of the 'Indian Act' in the 1870s consisted of under 10% of the general population.

For decades, South Africa's apartheid government employed brutal violence to keep a population that outnumbered them from overthrowing the wealthy White Europeans who ruled South Africa. They imprisoned real freedom fighters like Nelson Mandela for decades, whom Stephen Harper and Conservative MP (and Conservative Party founder) Rob Anders called a 'terrorist' and a 'communist'. Harper even opposed Nelson Mandela's release from prison when Harper was a member of the neonazi-friendly Heritage Foundation.

(https://thetyee.ca/Opinion/2014/10/06/Reign-of-Stephen-Harper/)

Another toxic Calgary Cancervative politician, Pierre Poilievre, appears to want to get back to Canadians embracing their racist and apartheid past with 'pride', instead of engaging in meaningful reconciliation with people who've lived on these lands for thousands of years.

I would say most Canadians wish to engage in meaningful reconciliation with Canada's indigenous people, and move on from there.

The Conservative Party appears to want to dig up old bones to pick with Canada's indigenous people, while ignoring the bones of real children buried under the Earth adjacent to Residential Schools...or buried under the rubble in Gaza, another part of the world colonized by White Europeans.
