It is, yes.

So Yoho, if you could please answer my original inquiry.

[topfiverecords]

Bylaw officers are honourably neutral

No, just a lot of rubbish like this around during election time and not enough resources to police I would imagine. Also, someone would normally need to make a complaint first.

Instead of giving me thumbs up for point out your bizarre logic you should answer Yamer's question.

I live in Pawlowski's riding, so it gave me some extra satisfaction to vote against him AND the UCP.

Wife and I got our (orange) votes in! Was super easy at the Danish Canadian Club downtown.

What I want to know, is where are all the “tough on crime” conservatives when Smith breaks the law? I know there’s a double-standard when it’s Trudeau interfering in justice for them, but suddenly they’re fine with zero consequences and will go ahead and vote for her after that?

I'm not sure how this isn't violating local bylaw. Spoilered for stupid size:

Spoiler!

Well good news, I'm already woke. Tempted to call that number, though. The crazy would be thick.

So ya, this looks like a real problem. Only 7 in the whole south zone??? And rural Albertans are voting for this? I guess that's what true freedom looks like.

Girlysports, this is why I called bs on assuming it's easy to get a new doctor. That you managed to do so is really lucky.

I agree with the posters who think the UCP plan is to intentionally break the system to bring in the worse option of privatizing.

I'd say, I haven't been able to find one for years no. Thankfully my pharmacist is my mom and she'll keep renewing prescriptions that I need, but it'd still be nice to have a doctor

I was really surprised by Girlysports questioning this. It's well known isn't it? Good luck finding a doctor taking on new patients. It's not an easy thing. I'm actually having a meeting with a doctor next week to hopefully get her to take on our family. I just lucked into it.

I'd really prefer this scenario to have Smith be the Wicked Witch of the East, so a house can fall on her.

Hanging out with the tough-on-crime Republicans. I’d imagine.

Julia Hader came to my door last night to introduce herself and I must say I was quite impressed.

Not to defend DS, but what were the bribes to AP for? I look at the three items and only the last one is remotely unethical.

✅- A GUARANTEED seat in #Abpoli if he ran for the UCP - Promising to set him up in a guaranteed riding if he ran for the UCP is fine
✅- A LUCRATIVE position if he doesn’t run - We see patronage appointments all the time
✅- PROMISES of Amnesty - She can promise anything she wants, its not illegal; going to Shandro.. well that was a different issue.

So really none of these things are really terrible on their own, and did all she want is his endorsement?

Besides giving any promises to this nutbag, i believe AP originally notes that the patronage appointment was for the COVID review (that went to Manning). I truly could not have seen that happen. The backlash wouldve been hilariously unreal
