    I’m not Canadian, but everything I’ve seen about this woman makes me think she’s a stupid, hateful bitch. It seems like her bs, and PP’s, is backfiring in light of how horrifyingly dumb and awful the Trump administration is, so I’ll keep crossing my fingers that the election goes well.

      Dont underestimate how dumb Alberta can be. Culturally, we’re very much like Texas

        Whoa hold up. You know the rural vote is worth more than the city vote right? The cities are basically orange, but it doesn’t matter that we have the largest populations. Every rural vote is worth 3 city votes.

        Then push hard on her being a woman lording her power over more deserving men. Texas doesn’t like women getting all uppity like that.

        My friend just moved back to the US after living in Red Deer for several years. I’ve heard all about it. I thought she was crazy to give up permanent residency, but if that was her whole experience with Canada (plus her cheating scumbag ex husband), I kind of get it.

        But, much like Texas, there are also a lot of decent people in Alberta who deserve better, so hopefully things work out alright.

      I am Canadian and I think she’s a stupid, hateful bitch. She’s an epic Karen, and why Alberta put her in charge is beyond comprehension.

          Maybe I’m wrong, but I think it’s a REALLY vocal minority that actually hates trans people. I think the vast majority just doesn’t care.

            I genuinely hope that that’s true. The thing is that I still know people that hate gays and just aren’t vocal about it.

        Nah she’s the Alex Jones of the north and ran a talk radio show. She’s a propagandist, and was willing to break the PCs grasp on the province using the Wild Rose party – and in doing so got an NDP candidate elected.

        In US terms it’s like if Alex Jones created his own ultra Republican party that broke the GOPs base so badly that Bernie Sanders got elected in the chaos.

      Maybe they should hold some sort of MMA event with her and Marjorie Taylor Greene while she’s in the US? I’d watch that.
