“I am in complete control and micro-manage every aspect of my government” does not pair well with “how on earth could I have possibly known about this, the deal that I enthusiastically pumped for political points against Trudeau during the pandemic? HOW?”
UofC is doing the same, nominally because DEI is now not a separate thing so why does it need a dedicated office? (but also because it’s a signal to the province that they’re not woke so please be nice to them)
but I thought that guy insists that The Wall is needed to solve the problem. Now you say it’s more nuanced than that???
they’ve already been piling on nenshi. campaign ads pointing out how everything bad that’s ever happened has obviously been part of his evil plan all along, etc. (also, campaign ads when there isn’t an election???)
Waiting for “Stop the nukes” to be added to his list of single-syllable talking points…
I still miss the atomic hand grenade…
Cool! her ex owns 25% of your house. That’s very generous of you.
I’d settle for my provincial government not actively fucking over health care, ripping up contracts with doctors, and then wondering where all the doctors went…
Travel mugs are a thing, and they don’t come with paper lids.
you know what’s REALLY wild? When I was a kid, there were roughly 4.5 billion people to feed every day. I’m not that old, but the global population has doubled in my lifetime. Crazy.
so… “this is good for both countries and will be an important part of Ukraine’s recovery, but I will vote against it because I can’t go on record voting for anything that mentions the magic words ‘carbon pricing’. sorry. would have loved to help, but CARBON!”
double the carbon tax, put it all toward NATO spending. All of the lifted F150s with military-adjacent bumper stickers would probably support that, right?
I assume the same “pristine viewscapes” bullshit will apply to oil & gas and coal mines etc. (of course it won’t)
PP is just begging for someone with a PhD in linguistics to respond…
the metric of concern here isn’t GJ, but tonnes of carbon emitted.
My parents voted blue their entire lives, including from the nursing homes they got to spend their final years in, where they complained about how bad healthcare and seniors care were and why weren’t they funded better and why were there so many immigrants doing the work instead of real Canadians - and then dutifully voting as blue as possible because what else are they going to do?
see also: insurance caps, mining, abandoned wells, etc etc. Some company (via a rich guy) says we need to do (or not do) this? On it! Actual human people say we need to do something? WOKE LEFTY LIBERAL TEARS!
they’re more interested in punishing his father, but will settle for trying to make JT’s life miserable by proxy.
if they were just being pragmatic, I’d understand. But they’re frothing at the mouth to evangelize oil, and are busy fellating the oil industry with subsidies while simultaneously placing a moratorium on clean energy development in the province. It’s maddening.
The “Let’s let the radioactive shrapnel fall in Canada before it gets to the States” dome? No thanks.
