Don’t forget bigotry! That’s a-ok too. Just check out the pride thread or the current detail by the bigots over in FOI in the GM thread.

Swearing though, that’s a line that can’t be crossed.

This leaders debate should be fun tonight! I hope they both go old-school WWF and just ####ing chair shot each other by the end of it.

Another poll, this one from “Research Co.” I’ve never heard of them but apparently they are A-rated on 338… for whatever that is worth.

I only looked briefly but they have NDP+2 — so well within the MOE of +/- 4%. Unfortunately no regional breakdowns that I could see.

"DO YOU WANT TO BE A UNIFYING VOICE OR DO YOU WANT TO FALL PREY TO THE LOONY LEFT"

Trans people are pieces of #### in cookies. Very unified, indeed.

Unfortunately the NDP screwed up on this one. What are the single biggest issues people have with them? "They are not good with finances", "they drove away investment" and "they ruined the economy". This is the NDP's kryptonite yet they walk right into again with this policy. They need to show fiscal prudence, and yes, balancing their campaign promises is fiscally prudent, but the political optics are terrible. This so easily reinforces the conservative voter's opinion of them it's an easy own-goal.

Oil & gas has hugely contributed and continues to contribute to our progress over the past century. We all need it, we all use it, oil companies produce it within whatever regulatory frameworks they are subjected to. But we all now know, or should know, that it has massive global impacts on the environment which lead to untold future displacements and costs.

To the extent that we all use fossil fuels at all makes us responsible for this, but a more realist statement would be that the extent we use more than the minimum necessary and controllable amount. Drive a big truck? Live in a big house? You are more responsible for climate change than someone living in a small apartment and riding their bike. But they use energy too. Not to mention how many people have significant investments in oil and gas as part of their retirement savings?

We're all guilty, and should be doing what we can to reduce our hydro carbon consumption. My comments on oil and gas being criminal is not that, it's deliberate actions by the industry over the years to downplay, deny and deflect, thus making the fight against climate change significantly harder and later than it should be. The people behind this should be treated on par with war criminals, such is the scale of their impact.

Here's an example article, but you'd have to be loving under a rock not to be aware of the industry's concerted actions over the years.

It is disappointing to see Rona Ambrose stumping for the UCP.

This is Rona Ambrose reaching out on behalf of the United Conservative Party.

I just finished watching the Alberta Provincial Leaders Debate.

Danielle Smith clearly stood out with her strong command of the issues that are important to Albertans.

The UCP platform will make life more affordable for Albertans and provide more opportunities for our families. It embodies
compassionate conservatism and shows a genuine commitment to those who are struggling - a commitment I deeply appreciate.

Alberta has so much promise and our best days are ahead under a re-elected United Conservative Party.

Elizabeth May referring to lawful licensed gun owners as pond scum because we don't want another bill C-21 banning more firearms, wasn't very nice. I certainly won't be voting Green Party!

[Ashartus]

From a TV interview this morning looks like Smith is already backing down on Jennifer Johnson not being in the UCP caucus, I didn't catch all of it but more of a "she has to do some work to get back in caucus."

[Fuzz]

So it turns out Smith had this ethics report since May 3rd and sat on it. If it vindicated her, why not use that? Oh, because it didn't. The ethics commissioner decided it was in the public interest to get this out. It's nice to see some people actually looknig out for the public interest, good for her. Going to assume if Smith wins she doesn't get her term renewed next year...

Sure has a feeling like someone let the air out of the Notley NDP ballon this morning.

She needed a home run in the debate.
