Lucky! Enjoy it! Wish I had that option... I'd totally move to a smaller city or town and live by a body of water. Can't do full-time remote in my industry (yet).

Okay. Here is what I propose.

I'm going to start a new Conservative Party in Alberta. One with Blackjack and Hookers.

But I need all of you to buy the memberships and make sure that I am elected as their Leader.

I'll come out with all kinds of insane nonsense in terms of a platform and you've got to back me on all of it! I'll do press conferences, news articles, things like banning abortion and taking away womens' right to vote, maybe even Armed Forces Conscription for all girls...I dont why. Because its insane?

But all of you have to buy the Party Memberships! You've gotta support me in this!

And then, hopefully, that'll split the Conservative vote in this Province enough to allow Nenshi to win.

Why settle for the lesser Evil?

I appreciate this sentiment, but doesn't this just mean that you're hoping our house values go up substantially? Surely, this is what we'd expect, right?

Yeah, I’m altruistic but I still want you to be miserable along the way.

You don't campaign on the crazy stuff. You need to slip that in later so all of your voters can shrug, dust their hands, and say "I had no idea!" Despite being shown red flags for months and years beforehand.

If anyone voted for any party, group, or candidate with a trace of say... Craig Chandler on it, they are either extremely ignorant or know exactly what they are doing.

These sorts of people/movements are made up of the latter, and rely on the former.

Why do you think I continue coming back to engage with you?

Aside from my incredibly charming personality, winning smile, and acerbic wit…

Indistinguishable from the UCP's current platform?
