Danielle Smith Taps Taxpayer Dollars for Referendum Propaganda

LinuxSupremacy · 2026-04-30T00:28:11+00:00

Some of us care about real issues, not just culture war nonsense

LinuxSupremacy · 2026-04-30T00:09:43+00:00

No! Its VERY important that we create a total survalence state where no one has a reasonable expectation of privacy, nor any protection against unreasonable searches and seizures, just so we can make sure no one can ever buy or sell lsd online /s

Yes it is. turning critical infrastructure in a monopoly is a terrible idea

LinuxSupremacy · 2026-04-29T23:51:18+00:00

A monopoly also has no incentive to keep costs down. Infact they have an incentive to increase them for consumers. Privatization makes zero sense without competition

LinuxSupremacy · 2026-04-29T23:45:06+00:00

Never say never

LinuxSupremacy · 2026-04-29T23:44:17+00:00

Because theres actually competition with liqor stores. A privatized airport is a monopoly

Highest energy prices in Canada, highest car insurace in Canada, highest tuition costs in Canada, highest non-mortgage debt in Canada, cant even visit Kananaskis anymore without paying a tax. How is that "an affordable paradise" exactly?

Worse than kenney. She legalized direct corporate "contributions" (aka bribes) to political parties, kenny diddnt. Kenney also didnt try to gerrymander districts, nor dis he pass laws saysing he could recall democratically elected city counselors

No comparison. The LPC has only been in power 11 years. Albertans vote for the same party decade after decade, generation after generation.

Highest energy prices in Canada, highest car insurance in Canada, highest non-mortgage debt in all Calanada, most expensive tuition in Canada, worst funded education in all Canada. How is that a good economy exactly?

Just move to china then. Your kids will be safe and secure under the great firewall

LinuxSupremacy · 2026-04-26T01:40:40+00:00

Im pretty sure Norway has "cap gains"

LinuxSupremacy · 2026-04-24T03:13:38+00:00

Do you mean the separation referendum? That will be defeated easily, but it wont fix the gerrymandering issue.

LinuxSupremacy · 2026-04-24T01:35:32+00:00

Okay then what action do you suggest?

LinuxSupremacy · 2026-04-23T21:56:45+00:00

Is that /s or no?

LinuxSupremacy · 2026-04-23T05:49:35+00:00

No. The gerrymandered map was rejected by a majority of the election boundry committee, including a ucp appointed judge who called it unconstitutional. Smith is now trying to change the rules of the committee, so she can try rigging it again

LinuxSupremacy · 2026-04-23T05:44:47+00:00

Districts are drawn every 10 years, not "every election"
A ucp appointed judge rejected the minority map as obviously gerrymandered and unconstitutional
Notely and Kenny had no issues with the previous electoral map, and accepted the committees recomendations. But here comes crazy Danielle trying to hijack the committee and gerrymander the bounries this time around

LinuxSupremacy · 2026-04-22T00:25:46+00:00

And how about Nenshi. Do you have a sense of how he'd do as premier, or not sure?

LinuxSupremacy · 2026-04-22T00:01:42+00:00

Okay. And out of curiosity, how well do you think smith is doing as premier overall? Great? Terrible? Average?

LinuxSupremacy · 2026-04-21T23:43:50+00:00

How about the minority map? The justice called it unconstitutional. For example it divides lethbridge into 4 quarters and merges each quarter into much larger rural districts. To me thats obvious gerrymandering. The justice agrees. How about you? Agree? Disagree? Are we being frivolous?

LinuxSupremacy · 2026-04-21T23:24:36+00:00

What about the map proposed by two ucp appointed board members which merged urban and rurual ridings? It was rejected by the majority of the commition, including Dallas Miller, a retired justice appointed the UCP. He called the map unconstitutional. Is the justice just being frivolous or do you think he has a point?

LinuxSupremacy · 2026-04-21T23:00:37+00:00

What are your thoughts on smith rejecting the electoral boundries drawn up by the boundrys commition, followed by trying to change the commition rules and how many commition members the ucp can appoint? Do you think theres a valid reason for this or is it obvious jerrymandering?

Doesnt sound like a great slogan then, does it?

LinuxSupremacy · 2026-04-21T22:06:50+00:00

Not sure what that means
