That's the depth of rationality we are dealing with here. Do like Trump. Win like Trump. Yay Trump.


I think they should have to put up an economic bond during this process that covers losses due to uncertainty. They win, they keep it. They lose, they pay us back. I know this is impossible to measure, but apparently you can just make stuff up, so I'll put the price at $25 billion before we can have a referendumb.

I just don't understand how he has become the de facto leader and policy generator of this movement.

A properly functioning democracy requires three separate branches of government that exercise their power and authority independently according to the Constitution.

This is new. The home page has a statement signed by the Chief Justices of Alberta Courts.
I wonder what compelled them to make this statement.
Hey busboobs any idea why?

They do stuff like this all the time. It's the same all across Canada. There's nothing to look into here, entirely normal functioning democracy things.

He also seems to be under the delusion that he speaks for all of Alberta in some kind of official capacity, which of course is complete bats*** lunacy.

This guy is easily one of the biggest losers on the planet.

Like Nigel Farage with Brexit. Zero authority, zero accountability. These are just nobodies making wild promises. Unless of course they backroom support and guidance from the UCP, which is entirely possible. They've already been discussing with Smith what title she would prefer.

They should be hammered on no authority, no accountability constantly, and if there is a larger conspiracy they will slip up eventually. They love the sound of their own voices.
