Canadian Politics Redux

Actually I said:

"Everything you say wreaks of ignorance and smugness of the Laurentian leftist elite"

That was an observation on your post and once again you have misquoted in an effort to discredit me.
Alas, the clearest indication of the winner in any debate is the one who maintains composure.

BTW.. Not playing victim, just amused at the hypocrisy.

Study 1 - 89 New England bar patrons
Study 2 - 36 undergraduates
Study 3 - 36 undergraduates
Study 4 - 36 undergraduates

This in no way represents enough of a sample of the overall population of the US to constitute definitive results in my opinion. Bar patrons and college students, not an excellent sampling of society. Secondly, this in an American study on Americans. Canadian conservatism is not Donald Trump Republican grandstanding.

Wonder how much high-effort thought the Alberta NDP government put into unfairly taxing Brewers east of Saskatchewan an extra $1.60 a six pack without giving them any notice?
Wonder how much high-effort thought was put into Rachel Notley's determination to review royalties and increase corporate taxes of a struggling energy sector (that would be something you do when the going is good, which Norway did successfully).
Wonder how much high-effort thought goes into moving to solar and wind energy when they are both ineffective and the energy used to build the infrastructure results in a net-zero Carbon reduction over the course of ten years. (I work in high voltage, the amount of money spent on infrastructure in Alberta on unreliable wind energy would astound anyone. All requested by AESO, all paid by tax dollars and by the consumer on your electric bill. Ontarians have an opinion on that one I am sure).

They were clear to point out they "were not funded". I am not naive enough to believe these people conducted this study in their free time.

Thanks for once again, proving the point of the article.

I, admittedly more conservative leaning, will watch left wing media (CBC and CNN, etc.)
Instead of reading it for a different point of view, leftists just say "no, thanks".

It's amazing how anyone could think none has anything interesting to say, or may have a point of view to consider.

Once again, to leftists, diversity is people looking differently, but thinking alike. It's absurd.

Haha, so CBC, CTV and Global are all left leaning.....and Rebel Media is right leaning.....a different point of view. That's what's absurd. Rebel Media is waaaaaaaaay right on the spectrum.

There is no way you are comparing the level of journalism between those media outlets and Rebel Media? Founded by Ezra Levant......Canada's Glen Beck. I've taken shits with more credibility then him. Always having to apologizing for the lies he spews.

Rebel Media is Canada's version of The Blaze. It's trash and a rag. And extreme. Based on most of your posts you aren't even that extreme.

- Yes All mainstream Canadian media is left leaning. ALL OF IT. There are some pockets who saw a market of people they could sell to (SUN, FOX) but as I said earlier, FOX is crap.

- Ezra Levant does paint a different picture, He has made a few mistakes, but he does report news that no one else will (like Trudeau blocking the Northern Gateway Pipeline by not allowing tankers along the BC coast, proving once again Another Trudeau is out to fuck over Alberta).

- I like Rebel Media. It is another point of view. I don't agree with all of it of course. Some is extreme. But some of that shit on CBC also makes me sick. CTV is the worst news on Canadian television.
In my humble opinion, Global seems to be the least left leaning news in the country. I don't watch it enough to know.
I mean, they are all reporting how Nenshi is now worried because some people are anti-Muslim in Calgary. That is news? Give me a break.
I watch RT, Al Jazeera, and CNN occasionally too. Read from many different sources.

What it proves is that he is willing to put the needs of all provinces above the demands of Alberta. Don't fuck over one province so yours can make more money.

So allowing Saudi Oil to come to Canada on the east coast, but not allowing Our own oil to be exported and create jobs nation wide makes sense.
You are trying to tell me a strong economy doesn't benefit BC. Wish I could tell you how many British Coumbians I worked with in Fort Mac. Happy they could bring money home to their families, lamenting how there was no work on "the island" or in "the valley."

Sure sounds like it's "fucking over" another province. Once again, left wing narrow mindedness.

First your "strong economy" is based on a resource that is tanking, let me know how that works out with all the layoffs going on. Second there is work in the valley and on the island, but a significant portion of people there base their value on money which is sad to me. The rest of the province has been covering the tab for a long time and getting screwed in the process.
If you want to pollute and destroy your own back yard there is not much I can do about that but kindly stay the fuck out of ours and let us keep our viable resources healthy and productive.

Man... is anyone else feeling like the sun has poked out from behind the clouds? Since Trudeau was elected and nimrod got booted unceremoniously down the block... I have a level of optimism I haven't had for a while.

The feeling I had when the Atlantic coast opened up with 3 innings of no-hit ball... it was the same feeling of elation I had when Ben Johnson blitzed across the finish line in the Olympics (cue Ben Johnson scandal Justin Trudeau predictions).

By the way... did anyone listen to Nimrod's exit speech? I've never heard anything sound so much like an apology without actually being an apology.

Aaahhhh. Good times.

Nice to see one man has given a positive outlook to your life in so many ways in the course of one month.
Sunny Ways!

Cheers to you too!
