Canadian Politics

TW: Alberta. Sorry, @Frank.

Their Premier is calling for the national government to impose sanctions on the US over the cancellation of the Keystone XL project.
 
Wait a minute - Governor General of Canada? Isn't that like, the most ceremonial of ceremonial positions?
By law, the GG runs Canada. They control Parliament and the military. By custom they nod and smile and do what the PM wants. It is the norm but not the law.

And we've had a fantastic master class recently when the norms are not the law.

It won't happen. In reality Trudeau is thankful Biden pulled the plug to take the heat for it. The only losers are every Albertan taxpayer who watched our piece of shit premier gamble billions on a doomed project while he bungled Covid, relations with teachers and doctors and literally every other thing he's done.

Don't worry Albertans, he's moved into the (I shit you not) the Sky Palace. An unbelievably expensive place built by the last Conservative premier which is what got her ass tossed to the curb.
 
I thought Trump was going to build the pipeline, but make Canada pay for it? Maybe I’m thinking of something else.

Don't start, our twitter idiots flooded us with Don Cherry for GG alreadu.
I've heard there's a great guy available at the moment. Lots of experience running the best country. Making any country great again, very fast, the fastest. Really great deal maker, the most astonishing deals. You've never seen such deals. Wow bigly good
 
Well, at least there's a chance, a CHANCE, that some regulatory body will see that Canada's number 1 and 2 Telecoms combining isn't good for fucking anyone.

I'm really still at a loss how people can think all yellow people with slanted eyes can be responsible for Corona, and all people with a skin tone between tan and creamed coffee are responsible for terrorism, and all people darker than creamed coffee are responsible for gang violence and riots, but all people with a lighter skin are somehow individuals where one is mentally disturbed, another had a bad day, a third has very specific and limited goals, etc etc etc.
I mean, why? Why would you think the Japanese guy from the sushi shop is somehow a Chinese spy infecting you with Covid? It just....Outside of a mental disorder, that sort of thinking just doesn't make sense.
I understand some forms of racism (which doesn't mean I agree or condone thme). Being afraid of cultural change, being afraid of economic impact, being afraid of losing priviledge, and acting out on those, ok. Fine. But this sort of thinking, I honestly can't wrap my head around.
 
L. O. Fucking. L

My premier Jason Kenney just released the new curriculum for schools. Included in the music portion is a requirement to teach about Mart Kenney. Who's Mart Kenney? Shocked you've never heard of him. He's an irrelevant big band composer of no renown that also happens to be Jason Kenney's grandfather.

This is some dictator ego bullshit. He's literally forcing grade 6 kids to listen to his grandfather's remarkably bland, boring, shitty music instead of actually covering notable big band composers of the time.

The rest of the curriculum is your average make school as boring and dull as possible with rote memorization of dates over actually learning, but that's normal Conservative dulling of the minds education bullshit.

So not one person, anywhere, has said one good thing about the new curriculum. Teachers hate it, parents hate it. Alberta is united in how shit this plan for school is.

There's only one dissenting voice in the darkness, fighting the good fight, with his tongue firmly pressed, dried out from the licking, to the bottom of the Conservatives boot. That's right, Jordan, fucking, Peterson has endorsed the curriculum.

You know Jordan Peterson, the disgraced idiot overlord of all incel chuds everywhere. The guy who mocked addiction for a decade before getting addicted to benzos, running to Russia, getting put into a coma for inadvisable treatment, got brain damage and then almost died of corona because his daughter wouldn't stop partying the whole time. The brain genius behind the theory that since lobsters have a pecking order, it's only natural that humans do too and that women should be forced to pair up with men so that men don't go on murder sprees.
 
You forgot the "literally eats nothing but steak" and "had dream about his grandma rubbing her pubic hair in his face" parts.
 
It's always funny when strangers suggest his books to me when I post about going through a hard time.

If I had the choice between reading anything by that transphobic, misogynistic asswipe or get a root canal, I'd already be hopped up on novocaine .
 
When I taught Science in China using a BC curriculum we caught a couple kids plagiarizing a poster project from the internet.
We could tell because the article they plagiarized was Spanish which isn't a language of instruction at that school.
It feels like a good metaphor for what the UCP did for their curriculum.
 
Welcome to another edition of how shit the Alberta government is.

ALL FUCKING WEEKEND THEY'VE BEEN CRYPTIC ABOUT HUGE BREAKOUTS. Telling us it's UNDER CONTROL and WE WILL UPDATE YOU WHEN MORE INFORMATION BECOMES AVAILABLE. This is direct from Dr. Hinshaw, our Chief Medical Officer of the province.

Thank God the Newfoundland and Labrador government put out warnings to it's citizens about outbreaks throughout Canada so FUCKING ALBERTANS COULD FIND OUT VIA ANOTHER PROVINCE'S GOVERNMENT ABOUT OUR LOCAL OUTBREAKS.

FUCK THIS PROVINCE.

Lots of caps = the parts where I literally shouted what I was typing out loud.
 
I’ve been potty training my daughter and sometimes I can’t help complimenting her for making Jason Kenney in the potty.
