Time to put Rex out to pasture and stop giving him a platform

I'd pay to see him host HNIC instead of Ron Maclean

He’s been a complete raving lunatic for at least several years now.

Totally all-in on Trump and all of his Canadian imitators, along with Conrad Black.

He's more or less what would happen if Ron & Don were one person

Back away slowly from this guy...

this post would have been equally valid several years ago. I remember when he used to work for the CBC

For the Alberta homies



There is hope yet. Vote fuckers, vote. Door knock, donate, etc.

PS: Don't read the comments, for your own sanity

I mean, sure, have at it. But those are your neighbours, the parents of the kids yours goes to school with, etc.

Edmonton is at least a bit of a haven from the nutters

Yeah, staring at that yellow blob on the electoral map used to give me hope. When Trudeau won a few ridings in Calgary (including the one I was living in...you're welcome) in 2015, I was hopeful that urban demographics were shifting the province. I still think that they are, but the Wildrose right is fucking loony and well populated. It's going to be a fight out there. Here's hoping Notley boot fucks the UCP in a few months.

The NDP are worse than the devil though.

I think covid made the shift to the right more dramatic though. Or so I fear.

My neighbour is old as shit though and he keeps putting up signs for right wing wackos and those incumbents keep losing.

My MP and MLA are both NDP. I don't even live in the university area.

At least Mike Nickel didn't win the Mayoral race, but otherwise Edmonton is just a slightly larger and less batshit Red Deer. As someone who has now lived among them for 4 years my take on Alberta is that there are far too many irredeemably stupid people who vote. Most of the people living in my condo complex are white, over 60, Fox News viewers who still have a grudge against Trudeau's dad for imposing the National Energy Policy back in 1980. The NDP is never getting those votes. These are people who are quite happy to believe that all of Alberta's problems began and ended with the 4 year span of NDP governance wedged in between over 5 decades of one party conservative rule.

Reminds me of the poorest states in the US who constantly vote Republican and don't understand why they remain the poorest states....
