I’m always a little embarrassed when my 71-year old mom apologizes for needing help with technology. “I’m sorry to waste your time fixing my phone”.
It’s like, “You taught me to wipe. I think I can make the time, lady.”

Even with all that buck-passing, she neglects to mention whose idea it was to put a big UCP sign on the wreath.

Also, they’re pretty.

Why do we say “if you pay peanuts, you get monkeys”?
Monkeys don’t eat peanuts.
I hate omnibus bills, no matter who brings them in.
But NOBODY who EVER supported Stephen Harper can criticize someone for bringing forward an omnibus bill, because dude was an omnibus FACTORY.

If you’re a politician in Canada and you can’t get elected without the votes of non-citizens, you’re in the wrong line of work.
That’s 100% also true if you can’t win without the votes of people who don’t WANT to be Canadian citizens. They can move. And take you with them.
Buckle up, kids.
Tuesday’s results sent a clear message to Trump-land that they have one year to discredit the process or find another excuse (“insurrection”?) to delay the mid-term elections that would turn the House - & maybe the Senate - blue.
They’re going to pull out all the stops, now.

Been a member of a public sector union for over 20 years.
I’ve attended exactly zero union meetings, and no one from the union has ever gotten in touch to tell me how to do my job their way, or what I should think or say publicly.
Are they doing it wrong? Or do cons not understand what a union is?

Did we do it, #ableg?
Did we win at Freedom?
Stripping 51,000 Albertans of their constitutional rights is a bold move for a party whose first listed principle is “A robust civil society made up of free individuals, strong families, and voluntary associations”, but hey… fill yer boots.
“FREEDOM!”

A politician who can, with the stroke of a pen, take away the rights of some of their citizens, can with that same pen take away the rights of ANY citizen.

This is the gap-toothed skull, worn famously by Canadian wrestling legend Bret “the Hitman” Hart.
It means you’re about to witness the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be… but you are NOT about to witness a crime against humanity.
