    The last time they gave a Nazi a standing ovation, Chrystia Freeland aggressively pushed back against any calls to investigate how many Nazis Canada had harbored, and worked to thoroughly bury the story. And this wasn’t even her first Nazi scandal.

    If the government tries to stop people from investigating Nazis (including your “left” party), it’s infested with Nazis.

    The moment poilievre made his return the racism immediately ramped up. He starated with the immigration right away, the next week we had racists in Toronto protesting against “immigration” we know they mean non white people since the entire crowd was whiter than a January morning.

    And Alberta is now putting citizenship status on drivers licenses to make it easier for their hick cops to profile people.

    Time for Canadians to wake up to the fact that their politicians are all trained seals answering to Washington?

    Was it everyone? Do we have any information on whether there were any sensible people refusing to take part in this?

    I recommend taking this opportunity for thoroughly internalizing the knowledge that the vast and overwhelming majority of people in government, no matter what color they wear, truly do not care about you in the slightest. Go listen to some George Carlin, he can explain.

    It’s just interesting because they don’t honor the three children killed in the school shooting the same day. So clearly they’re not speaking out against gun violence or uttering victims of gun violence. Otherwise they’d honor them too. So I can only conclude by doing this they are explicitly endorsing Charlie Kirk’s rhetoric. Everyone that stood up and clapped agrees with Charlie Kirk 100%. That’s the only conclusion

    I think to myself that Alberta is a highly misunderstood place, that the people here are more relatable and complex than the stereotypes that I hear come so often from people in nearly every other province.

    …and then each time I think that we can beat the stereotype, some random politician whose name I’ve never heard before shows up out of the woodworks to make a comment nobody asked for on an issue that doesn’t affect us.

    Shit like this pains me man

      Alberta is so fucking weird man. Conservative as hell, but also has the most secure NDP federal seat in all of Canada (Edmonton-Strathcona) since like 2008. The rural-urban divide in Western Canada is honestly crazy when you get down to the nitty gritty of it.

    Fuck it if we are going to act like the 51st state we might as well officially be it.
