I bet Notley will be happy to be done after another 442 days of Kenney riding her ass like a rented mule.

She is a biotch but not stupid.
Even though the NDP are responsible for the pipeline delay she will push it through just before election to shout "hey look what I have done for the people of Alberta".
And dummies will believe.

I got this unsolicited text today. I thought it was illegal to do this ? I sure as hell didn’t give them my number.

My response;
#1 I don't support a single thing Rachel Notley and her Government have done. This Government refuses to listen to the people , especially with regards to land use issues in the Castle and Bighorn areas. The party should be renamed the
NO DEMOCRACY PARTY.
#2 How did you get my cell phone number ?
#3 Why do you think it is acceptable to contact me with unsolicited propaganda ?
This is exactly the high handed type of actions that make this party so out of touch with the common man.

Hmm, if they can send unsolicited propaganda to us then we can send unsolicited opinions to them. You were kind enough to leave the number for us, so I send them an unsolicited text: "I do not believe the Alberta NDP is fighting nearly hard enough for Alberta's pipeline jobs. It seems obvious to me that they are doing the exact opposite, hoping that the clock runs out before they can make any significant traction."

Her response;

I had to go off shift last night so didn't respond to your last text. I'm sorry, but I don't understand your comments about the governments actions on land use... We're texting possible cell numbers in AB to let constituents know about Rachel Notley and her caucus' stance on the pipeline. Check out more at: We're testing out this method to ask people to support the pipelines...I will be happy to unsubscribe your number.

My response;

"I don't understand your comments about the governments actions on land use"
My point exactly !
Listen to the people , we don't want more parks and restricted areas rammed down our throats!
I do believe there is a Federal no contact law that forbids any entity from contacting citizens via cell/land line. You might want to check into it before bothering any more taxpayers with your NDP propaganda.

Her response;

I wasn't sure if you were for or against restricted use....Many people across the province feel differently than you do about parks and restricting use of public lands. And many would want the government to go further to protect wild areas. I have unsubscribed you from receiving any more texts, but please consider signing the pipeline petition. For more information
see:
Have a good day!

My response;
It's called "public Land" for a reason. What gives your government the right, to take away my rights ,to use the public lands?
Your government officials are too cowardly to even attend a meeting in regards to the Bighorn area. They have been invited time and time again to no avail. Ask them why they have refused the upcoming town hall meetings in Rocky?
The reason , they only listen to citizens who share their views. That is not Democracy.
Please ask your government to call an election so we can stop this idiocy.

I have written many letters, signed many petitions and attended rallies. That must be how she got my phone number. So the NDP is using my confidential personal information , without my consent. Another example of the despicable tactics and depths that this bunch of idiots will stoop too.

I got a phone call too, pretty much told them the same thing, the poor lady was dumbfounded, wanted my postal code and hung up when she found out the area was Conservative riding.

this countdown brings me some sense of hope. I still cant get over how people could have been so stupid to vote these idiots in power. People should never vote with their emotions and that why this country's governments are all ****ed up. I guess its easier to follow your emotions then spend the time to get educated.

A very interesting POV from former President Jimmy Carter on how Trump got in. Certainly has merit IMO. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhebmG148Zo

Haha. Feeling disenfranchized CFM? If you listen to what he said, you might see he had an interesting perspective and an answer to etec's question about why people vote in huge change. Happened in Alberta which was why I thought it fits here. That moron as you call him has gained more political perspective and experience in his 93 years than most people on the planet. He even won a Nobel peace prize and continues to do great work with Habitat for Humanity.

Jimmy carter. That moron couldn’t find his a$$ with both hands. The only president that will go down in history as a worse president is Obama! Typical left wing crap. Blame the rich

Hardly. I did listen to what he said. He blamed the growing gap between rich and poor as the reason for the middle class being left out. It was policies from presidents like him that failed to check uncontrolled illegal immigration ( driving wages down), he raised taxes on business ( like all liberals), driving jobs out of the USA. That’s what started the decline of the middle class. He gat a nobel peace prize for brokering Mid East peace. He did that by forcing Israel to the table by withholding arms agreements at the same time as he increased military equipment sales to Egypt. Like Obama, he’s a feckless coward that screwed up everything he touched. He does do good work for habitat for humanity. I’ll give him that.
