Un-fucking-believable.
Fuck redneck separatist Albertans.
Oil is not an identity or a culture.
Catch a brain dumbasses.
Oh right, you smooth brains voted for Jason Kenney, then topped that shitshow with Danielle Smith.
Dumbass fucking province.
I was born there, so when I say; it is truly Canada's stank-ass armpit, you know it's based on lived experiences.
This is a mask-off moment.
Pretty soon they'll be naked and it'll be a weird party.
Pretty sure conservatives only get naked if there are children involved.
That's why they're all in Alberta.
Freakoff time!
As an Ontarian, what can I do about this?
Seriously? Do I need to drive to Alberta with a rolled up newspaper and thwack Danielle Smith on the back of the head like my grandfather did to me when I was being a dumbass?
No, you need to do that to the people sponsoring her, but in a way that leaves them with deep rooted and lasting fear of being traitorous pricks
And replace the news paper with something sharper and heavier. You could probably hoist the sharp heavy thing up on a wooden platform to make it easier to drop down.
So trump, Russian and…
Seems seditious.
Fuck Danielle Smith and the traitorous horse she rode in on.
It's not the horses fault she's a traitorous cunt.
It is the voters however.
I thought this was the Beaverton at first. It's not. I don't know how I feel about this.

Just for fun, the federal should do the same it did in Québec with the sponsorship thing. The RoC certainly thought it was acceptable.
Isn't this just how the justice system work? Doesn't everyone get legal representation?
No.
You can typically get a public defender for a criminal matter — but this isn't a criminal matter. You don’t get a lawyer provided to you free of charges to represent you at a non-criminal hearing of this sort, just as the government doesn’t hand out free lawyers if you want to sue someone (or get sued by someone).
Really? So if you get sued without proof of crime it's on you?
You don't need to commit a crime to be sued for something. Not every type of harm is a criminal offense. Civil court exists to decide upon disagreements that people could not settle on their own, not to determine whether a law was broken.
You get a puic defender in crimimal courts because it is the state accusing you of wrongdoing and attempting to limit your rights. In civil court, it is another private citizen or entity, and they are looking to enforce their rights, not strip yours.
So what happens if you get sued in civil court and you can't afford a lawyer, do you just have to represent yourself?
Yup.
