I always thought the strong affiliation in Newfoundland was abnormal. My grandparents were PC supporters through and through, and I know that my father, still often favours the PC provincially. He hates the federal Conservatives with a passion though.

Talking to him made me realise how vague my grasp of specific party policy is. He did dismiss my concerns of their attitude towards human rights as not being enshrined in their policy in any way, which tied in nicely to the Edmonton WR MPs "all gays will burn in hell for eternity" comments that came to light over the weekend.
Smith's position is that her party members are free to hold their own personal beliefs, and that she's happy to be in a party that welcomes all religious view points. Coupled with her own personal preference for a two-tiered healthcare system, the Wild Rose seems to be the party of people that we're meant to believe will never legislate based on their firmly held beliefs.
Smith is incredibly smug. It was very apparent in the leaders debate and one of her comments relating to her homophobic party members was "If there's been a hate crime, call the police." FUCK YOU.
Yes, yes, you hope Alberta becomes a smoking crater. I think we wrapped that up a few pages ago.
Clearly, and we wish you would shut the fuck up about it. Some of us care about improving this province.
I do think anything that pressures the Conservatives to move more into the center is an alright thing, though. Shouldn't Wildrose be bleeding off the crazy fringe element? I mean, I know less numbers is bad in politics but if all they do is pick up the nut jobs, and the Conservatives retain power, that's good, isn't it? At least so long as the cons don't start pandering to try to entice them back (see: Republicans and the Tea Party).

We're fucked.
Also, Joe Oilver demonstrates once again what an out-of-touch buffoon he really is.

Are you honestly comparing a project that happened over a century ago to projects happening in this day and age and using that as a viable measure of how long things should take to get approved?
For once I wouldn't mind a PC majority.
My god, I did just say that didn't I?
I never finish anyth
Wait, didn't the building of the rail way have like extremely bad working conditions and give next to no fucks about how it impacted the enviroment it passed through? They seriously think navvies, coolies, poor relations with first nations, and being in need of a bail out was the height of good governance? What a fucking fool of a tool (for oil).
Also, where is the quote from? Its not from the article linked that I could find. Edit: Here, I found it: http://www.nrcan.gc.ca/media-room/news-release/2012/1/3520
Best of luck. Let me know how that's gone after 10 more years of uninterrupted PC rule with the population never questioning their long-term policies.
Why don't you stop being a stupid asshole and consider the fact that not one of us is in any way in favour of that?
I say from now on all major infrastructure projects should include a (dead Chinese men)/mile figure. Anything less than 0.5, and the project doesn't move forward.
I think most reasonable albertans want the PC's out of power provincially. Redford really does not have the charisma to keep the party going after a bunch of minor scandals and her "extravagant for Alberta" budget. The problem is the only electable alternative is the Wildrose.
Le sigh.

Just in case you weren't sure how hypocritical this Con fed gov is about "red tape" and how they totally aren't muzzling scientific communication.
I know you don't favour that, but I think that unless the Wildrose win and accelerate the Conservative endgame so that people realise where it is leading, that is what is going to happen. I don't think that there is a hope in hell of any liberal (small L) successes in Alberta until it crashes from overinvestment in oil at the expense of anything else.
This is hilarious. And incredibly depressing. They'll put that much scrutiny into answering a simple question, but when doing environmental assessments on projects that could fuck up the environment for years? Fast track that shit, red tape suck. Sickening.
It's the same reason they pushed to abolish the census. The only data they want anyone to be able to clearly reference is data they provide.
So you are both an asshole and incredibly stupid, kudos to your educators for how society functions and how to behave in a polite one.
Progressive views are more and more popular among young Albertans. Much like gay marriage in the states, progressivism in Alberta is just a matter of time.
Also, you're kind of a dick for wishing my province burns to the ground. Take care.
What are Albertans actually tired of with the PCs then?
And it's fishiness all the way down: http://www.canada.com/news/Robocalls+probe+extends+Tory+headquarters/6468552/story.html

We'll see if this goes anywhere sometime before the next election.
I mean, it's still very much a "my word against hers", but with any luck they can dig up other workers in that call centre who will back her story.
It's official, jabronis. We just won those two by-elections. And by 'we' I mean of course the BC NDP. And by 'those two by-elections,' I mean the by-elections in Chilliwack-Hope and Port Moody-Coquitlam.
I'm so glad it's over. What a long, exhausting campaign.
Fantastic!!
I think Clark is doing a respectable job at keeping election promises, and I don't get all the hate directed at her?
Edit: Considering they weren't her promises to begin with, and she was left on the hook for a lot junk.
Or the fact that the BC NDP is not, in fact, awful, although I don't much care for the current leader.
Dat hubris.
