What is weird for me in this current world of insanity is we usually aren't even try to defend people like Trudeau or one or any specific political flag for that matter. It doesn't matter where absurdity, lunacy, insane drivel comes from, it has to be called out. I've been on both ends of this in my life but we currently are not dealing with normal political debate, we are dealing with very dangerous non-political absurdity and insanity. The two get jumbled together a lot of times and is seen as one resulting in a everyone's bad tone. That's what makes my head spin on a daily basis.

I dunno. Milt the man with his bravado had a lot of underlying humor mixed in that took the edge off somewhat. I don't mind confidence matched with results but when it crosses from I'm proud to I'm bragging it wears thin with me. But that's just my style. Not saying this is Mitchell, haven't experienced him yet.

Eeyore here. Will it though? With the dumbing down of society I'm not confident with the bolded part of your sentence.

For Harris as soon as he hits the red zone things frequently become unraveled. Captain obvious here. Does being 'just more relaxed' in practice translate to game speed/pressure situations?

It's put up or shut up for TC and staff this year for sure.

All gaslighters have are catch phrases that begin or end with all caps lol with an exclamation mark for good measure.

The dumbing down of society in full view for all to see.

But this is no worse than what Biden and his crew do. Stop being so divisive you radical left libtard, wake up! What are we to do with the absurdness I just wrote above? Not respond? This is insane not differing political punditry.

My guilty pleasure would be hoping his sister somehow had her tentacle in this as well.

I heard a funny saying the other day that rock bottom apparently has a basement.

Excerpt from CBC News A story by Joel Dryden "Minister Shandro stated that Premier Smith was passive/aggressive throughout the call. She asked him specifically if there was anything he could do about Mr. Pawlowski's case," she wrote. "She wanted him to make it go away, although she did not direct him to do so. She was concerned about a press conference that Mr. Pawlowski said he was going to have and how bad the optics would be for the party. "Minister Shandro told her there was nothing that could be done, and she accepted his advice. There were no further conversations between Minister Shandro and the premier on this subject." This is a snapshot of who these people are and how they are wired not just on this specific issue. Yea I get it that many are like this to varying degrees, but that's the key part of the sentence, to varying degrees. So not all the same but with similarities with varying degrees of impact and magnitude. If one says they are thoughtful critically thinking people but still cast their vote for a person who will take their orders from someone like this I would suggest your motives in doing so do not match the first part of this sentence. How else am I suppose to say this without being clumped into 'you all are just mean and nasty to one another'?

No matter the political flag one falls under, any mention of machine irregularities and fake voters should be met with a demand for evidence now and if it can't be produced immediately, heavy fines and jail time are the next steps. This is where the Judicial system needs to do it's damn job.

That’s what happens when a group believes in a Trump approach. It makes them feel good inside. It’s who they are as people. They are not true conservatives. They’re knuckle draggers who have seized on an opportunity.

Elks going all in on TC as their QB. I hope they're right for the health of that organization (and the CFL as a whole) but jeez as an armchair non qualified QB talent scout, I'm not seeing him as an elite CFL QB.

Says the Oiler fan. Love you man. Please don't hate me. 🙂

EDMONTON — A United Conservative Party candidate who compared transgender children in schools to having feces in food is apologizing while staying on to run in the Alberta election. Jennifer Johnson says in a statement that she has nothing but love and compassion for everyone equally and is embarrassed to have caused hurt with her remarks. Johnson, who is running in Lacombe-Ponoka, says if she wins the seat in the May 29 vote she will seek counsel on how best to communicate and meaningfully discuss her views. The NDP has called for UCP Leader Danielle Smith to dismiss Johnson as a candidate for the comments she made last fall that were recently been made public. In those comments, Johnson said Alberta has a first-rate education system but it's set against transgender children as young as 14 getting double mastectomies and chemical castrations to help them transition. Johnson also compared transgender students to feces in cookie batter. This report by The Canadian Press was first published May 17, 2023. The Canadian Press The bolded sentence caught my attention. One way to interpret that is, to her, it's not the drivel she spews is the problem, it's how she spews her drivel is the problem. Nope I think the drivel no matter how articulate and smooth you package it (see Danielle Smith as a great example) is the actual dangerous problem.

Just to beat the horse I'm riding today to death, if one reacts to this ongoing hate then one risks getting clumped into being hateful as well.

Saskatchewan? No? Oh sorry Rider fans. 🙂

Yup and at the street level I'm really annoyed and frustrated with people who think they are rising above the fray and label everyone as tired and embarrassing and mean and nasty and just can't we go back to respectful dialogue. If you haven't noticed we're not debating the merits of different political platforms (health, crime, housing etc) requiring respectful dialogue and a level of appropriate decorum. Stop clumping reacting to dangerous absurdness and the back and forth that results as just another example of how everyone is mean and nasty and 'I'll have none of it'. We all have a level of responsibility to take care of one another when met with dangerous absurdness or it won't work.

Countered with yea but everyone's bad followed up by I'm tired and embarrassed in hearing all of this bickering back and forth between different 'viewpoints' therefore minimizing the danger of hate, bigotry and fascism and in effect legitimizing it as just another perspective to be treated with respectful dialogue.

So predictable. Fact: Lazy opportunist narcissistic disingenuous morally bankrupt people who are not here to govern and lead a country of Canadians from all walks of life. Counter: Yea but everyone's bad. Don't lecture me you radical lefty libtard WOKE Socialist Dictator. F Trudeau Wake Up! Sigh The dumbing down is in full effect and I have no solution other than to think globally and act locally everywhere you can in your communities personally and professionally.

One of the most overused, misused sayings some people use on social media to get attention, look at me I'm being controversial, I'm unique: 'Here's a bold prediction, ...'

No argument from me. Just speculating what goes on inside a knuckle dragging head to rationalize away their absurdness.

The way I interpreted (speculated) this was she feels she was fed misinformation about abortion so now that she knows the evils of it she can say she accidently had one based on being hoodwinked.

Case in point. A letter to the editor in the Edmonton Sun. The last sentence and the editors 'clever' (3 word) response sums it up. I have been an eligible voter here in Alberta for about 50 years, and have always been a die-hard Conservative supporter. Danielle Smith was not my first choice as our UCP premier, but I was OK with her as my second choice. She has disappointed me with the lack of thought that she has put into many of her comments, and then having to stumble and stagger her way out of the mess. Her flapping lips have put her into so much trouble. I will definitely be voting UCP though, and could never for NDP. Les Derksen (No easy options.)
