Not to mention that both images are clearly AI.

You can tell because this is what the actual separatists look like:

Gettin' things done.

^ a Separatist guy i know on my Facebook. Posted that from a different angle that said "standing room only" . Haha...

It is probably the same 50-60 people that travel to all the events.

[IliketoPuck]

That's a lot of plaid.

I am not really a fan of Real Talk but am giving it a listen.

Overall, good for Mentzolopolous for showing up to have a conversation. She is working hard to be very careful with what she says and while Ryan is not great at giving her questions that avoided topics that would get her into trouble, they were able to keep the interview moving forward and share some of her story with the public.

I would recommend listening. One thing to keep in mind when listening to Mentzolopolous is that the UCP selected her to be the CEO of AHS. Smith hand picked her to be the CEO and put her in compromising positions that forced this situation and then they burned her and are now attacking her regularly to discredit her.

How incompetent and/or corrupt do you have to be to hand pick someone and then end up on opposites sides of a scandal like this? The UCP are the absolute worst form of grifters.

Those dorks are just there for free pizza and the hope that an orgy breaks out.

Adding into this... There is some interesting information here about the proxy campaign where podcasters have been harassing / attacking Mentzolopolous. If you did not see the other stories about it basically the podcasters in question have been linked back to Sam Mraiche through his lawyer (Sam's lawyer hired them). Globe And Mail has stories about this.

Jumping to the ~50 minute mark she is talking about how these guys have been putting out bounties to get dirt on her. $10k, then $50k, then $100K+ for any kind of dirt that could get her criminally charged.

I was going to say thats a lot of Gray Hair.

Shouldn't three quarters of that room already be relocating to Del Boca Vista?

Gray hair... and weight problems. The only way that room was "standing room only" is because a lot of those people were sitting on two chairs.

Honestly, how much of that room lives another decade?

I just think that people of that age shouldn't have an equal say in the long-term vision and goals of our Province...they just aren't going to be around long enough to have to suffer the consequences.

I joke about a maximum voting age but how about something more realistic: if you vote to separate from Canada you have to revoke your right to vote in Canadian elections. Give up your citizenship and become a permanent resident and follow the same rules. Regardless of whether the vote passes or not. If you want to become a Canadian citizen again, go through the same process immigrants do.

Don’t want to be part of the country? Don’t be.

Someone needs to report the proximity of those oil well donkeys to that barn. The regs say 100m is the minimum.

You’re looking at a crowd that has never, and will never, use metric. The good old days when there were no brown people, we only had Swedes and Ukrainians to disparage.

Same people that long for the good old days of coal dust and black lung.

[Monahammer]

Such an unhealthy looking group of people at minimum. I can see only one non-obese person in that picture, among other maladies that are visible.

These people want private healthcare. For some reason.

[Monahammer]

Also, I know this is silly, but if you made an AI picture of "your side" don't you think you'd make the people attractive instead of doggishly ugly prairie stock? I pick left easily in that photo lol.

That's some serious $$, let alone whatever it costs to run these ratfűcking podcasters via a lawyer.

[puffnstuff]

Its not their money...they grifted it from the govt, theres more where that came from (if they continue to get away with it)
