Hi. I respect Nenshi.

But how about we don’t use a moment when a woman is being lauded for a job well done to point out the man seated next to her, hmm?

That’s very unbecoming.

The dude is all kinds of coo coo for Cocoa Puffs.

But the worst of it is that he’s likely the sanest person in his party cuz the rest of them are even more coo coo.

She’s so damn consistent, too. Every presser she leads, every question she asks. Gray is PREPARED.

And she’s asking the right questions about this scandal.

Christina Gray is an absolute POWERHOUSE in QP, each time she rises.

I appreciate so very much that she consistently comes equipped to demand answers from this government about how they are blowing thru OUR money on contracts for their friends and family.

RUH ROH RUSTAD!

John now saying he’s not going anywhere, and the board doesn’t have the authority to remove him.

DRAMA ALERT!

Big news out of BC, where John Rustad has (finally) been removed as leader of the Conservative Party of BC, and as leader of the opposition.

#cdnpoli

I haven’t! Just started it tonight, and am on the third episode. It’s hilarious and charming.

I finally found “Reservation Dogs” on streaming, so this is what I will be doing for the next few days see you all mid-week.

Doesn’t really apply in this case. One statement in defense of his own doesn’t make up for how he’s consistently voted against women’s rights, LGBTQ2 equality, DEI initiatives etc.

Oh trust me - this man is no hero. Did he stand up for women’s rights? For LGBTQ2 persons, & against transphobia? Did he stand up against the mass targeting and illegal detention of non-whites for deportation?

He’s still a piece of shit, but now he’s a piece of shit standing up to Trump.

PS: the absolute worst thing Trump could do is to go after this dad who is defending his daughter. I mean can you imagine?

Which is exactly why he’ll probably do it.

Insanity. $229 USD for that junk. People will buy anything & everything. Everybody walking around with this huge empty hole inside that they keep trying to fill with junk and garbage.

Like, if we wanna start hurting the billionaires, maybe we start with not buying the crap they sell us, you know?

While you’re not wrong that too many don’t find their heroism until it directly affects their own, the fact we’re seeing more and more Republicans speak out is a good sign, if only because it means Trump’s vice like grip on the GOP is weakening, & they all know it.

They don’t fear him anymore.

It’s heartening to see a Republican unreservedly call out Trump, & tie their vote directly to Trump’s behaviour. We’re seeing that happen in bursts more frequently, as of late.

They aren’t afraid to stand up to him anymore. His influence is waning, his numbers falling, his power crumbling.

Taylor Allison Swift herself could release a line of these monstrosities colour coded to all her albums & I would STILL hate them, and mock anyone who buys one because $229 for something your gran could make with a crochet hook in 7 minutes is the worst of capitalist insanity.

Nope.

Wait - this is real?! IS THIS REAL?!

I thought this was satire. I thought this was a brilliant SNL Shorts thing.

It’s real.

…

Yeah I’m gonna be “friends off” with anyone in my circle who buys one of these things because shame on you.

Which goes to prove that the faction of Albertans who howl the loudest about Ottawa don’t really want a better relationship with the feds, and there is absolutely nothing the feds could ever do that would appease Albertans.

I stg this province is as entitled as Quebec, with half the culture.

10 years from now, the Alberta government won’t be any closer to having a new pipeline than it is today.

You can bet on that much.

That’s a very dangerous position for any conservative leader to take. Alberta IS the CPC.

If this turns into a Pierre vs Dani messaging battle, my $ is on Danielle - primarily because she’s saying what Alberta conservatives want to hear, & she’ll ride this narrative cuz it makes her look strong.

He wasted the entire election campaign pandering to that faction. If the beast has turned on him, it’s because he fed the beast and riled it up.

I honestly don’t think even he knows what he’s doing at this point, Duane. His leadership is on life support, and he’s reacting poorly to that realty.

In the meantime, Danielle heads into this weekend’s UCP AGM with what she can herald as a massive victory against Ottawa, so she must be delighted.

The most amusing aspect of the pipeline drama is the warring conservative factions.

Alberta’s Premier: “VICTORY!! I TOOK ON OTTAWA AND WON!”

Pierre Poilievre: *mumble whine rant complain*

The UCP: “DANI WINS WE GET PIPELINE!”

Andrew Scheer: “BUT IT’S NOT REAL!!”

The #cdnpoli hilarity 😂😂😂

As to be expected. But it’s not going to get built, and that will be apparent before too long.

Smith gets to go into her leadership review this weekend claiming she fought Ottawa & won, but she won’t have to deliver FOR YEARS.

Carney gets Danielle “off his desk”, has something to throw at Poilievre, appeases some conservatives, & gets 2 standing ovations in Calgary.

It’s. All. Theatre.

Fuck you, Jake Tapper.

XOX,

Kikki.

Same in #yeg. I’d send a pic, but I’m too lazy to get out of this recliner.

Speaking of which, I need someone to fetch me a snack.

I do not know. I think so?

I would ask my own resident young person, however I used up my allotted one question per day on asking them what they thought of the new Christmas tree topper, and now I am out of question allotments until tomorrow.

BTW, their opinion of the topper was 🤷‍♀️

Is this doing a “based”? Is this what the young people would consider a “based”?

Help an old lady out here.

His QP appearances all seem like 22 Minutes skits, his weird, stiff fist-shaking antics look childish in the face of Carney’s consistently calm demeanour… he gives “petulant child”.

But, the CPC base seems to love him, so who knows what’s happening in backrooms, what knives are being unsheathed 😉

What the CPC really needs - if they ever want to win again - is a new leader who can keep them united, but keep the extreme lunatics on a leash, and use their nomination process to keep them leashed.

Harper was a MASTER at that. All others since have failed. Therein lies the problem.
