Any thoughts on this: What Might Legalization Look Like Under the Conservatives?

Me too. I was surprised and delighted when the NDP won a big majority here in Alberta back in 2015 but it went tit's up here recently with the Cons wiping out all the gains made 4 years ago. At least Ms. Notely kept her riding and is the voice of the official opposition.

Back to the old boy's club and regressive politics.

You were debt free in 2015.. now you are adding tens of billions of dollars in debt each year. You are about to be fucked the way we in Ontario were screwed by the last ndp government. We pay more than a billion dollars per month now just on interest. At least you have a chance of saving yourselves.

My riding elected a Green MP yesterday

Problem is we need to replace him with someone. So far I don't see any adults running for the job. Scheer is a fucking moron, Trudeau is an idiot, Mad Max is a racist, Singh is a nobody and May is out to lunch. I can't vote for any of the fucking clowns, but I will choose the one who will take the vote away from Scheer. ABC for me.

I didn't "throw" anything "around". You are judged by the company you keep - and Mad Max seems to like the racists. We've discussed YOUR interpretation....I think I'll go with mine, thanks. The PPC candidate got a whole 3% of the vote in the by-election here this week - I don't think Max is 'the man'. I doubt the PPC will get a single seat.

"extreme multiculturalism and cult of diversity" This is barely even a dog whistle. That shits just fucking racist, with an veil so translucent it looks like plastic wrap.

The idea that Canadian culture is dangerous because of foreigners is crazy when the majority of attacks on Canadian soil have been Canadian Born White men who have spent too much time listening to Americans on the internet.

The biggest danger to Canada is social media, and the idiots who believe everything they read on it.

it's really not hard to find out all the racist shit Maxime has said. If you choose to ignore it then that's on you, but don't act like it's not happening when it's all public record.

I don't know anything about Maxime but the rest of your comment is spot on, mate!

Whatever you do, DON'T listen to Americans on political matters. This ship of state has run aground on the rocks of elitist control of government and mass media and she's taking on water and sinking fast. Worse, there's a fight going on in steerage class with half of them stopping the other half from fixing the leaks, even while their neighbors are drowning all around them!

Sure we were debt free in 2015 after years of $100+/bbl of oil but what happened to the war chest built up earlier called the Alberta Heritage Trust Fund. Established in 1976 by Peter Lougheed it was supposed to get 30% of revenues generated by oil. Instead it was used up by the Cons during their 44 year reign to bail out their own fiscal screwups.

Had the Cons used some of that money to invest in refining our oil here BC wouldn't be so worried about a pipeline carrying those products and we'd all be better off. They dragged their feet on building infrastructure while Alberta's population tripled so profits could be used to make themselves and their rich buddies richer.

Notly took over as the price of oil took a nose-dive to less than $30bbl of which Alberta only gets from 1/3 to 1/2. The price of oil people hear about in the news is for Texas Sweet Crude of which there is very little left but the benchmark for the best quality oil. Bitumen is not the best quality by any stretch of the imagination so we almost had to pay to get that sludge to market after factoring in transportation costs to move it by rail and road. Our gasoline prices aren't as bad as BC's but would be a lot less if we made it here. As it is we have to pipe our oil to Burnaby to be refined then have it brought back here to use.

Sure the NDP has borrowed a lot of dough but the money has been used to to upgrade needed infrastructure long neglected by the Cons and improve the average Albertan's lives. She inherited a mess and gets blamed for it all and it sure as hell wasn't her fault that oil prices tanked.

Personally I think we should leave all that oil in the ground and wait for the next oil shortage to cash in but thanks to the Cons lack of vision about diversifying our economy we don't have much to sell but our oil. Some huge pot factories being built here so maybe that will save us or at least a lot of people will be too stoned to care.

Sovereign wealth funds need competent management to be effective. The moment someone sticks their hand in the till and doesn't get punished, the whole thing blows up.

not really ..if the judgement is from people who don't know what a racist actually is....its quite simple if one actuallyknows what

the word "race" means..but the real snowflake thing of course is to throw the word around as much as possible..

It is quite simple. The people that don't "get it" choose not to.

When rallying against Diversity in a predominantly white country and surrounding yourself with white nationalist the logical conclusion is his attacks on diversity are actually attacks on anyone that isn't white and christian, which therefore make his attacks racist AND prejudice, something unbecoming for a person seeking a position of power.

The fact this needs to be explained to someone in this day in age is ridiculous. Very few politicians are stupid enough to come out and say "No more brown people" they are more manipulative than that and have found a way to make their views palatable to certain demographics. Those who hate muslims love to hear this anti-diversity shit, and guess what? Those who hate black people love hearing this shit equally. It fits into the mindset of prejudice people perfectly and he can play both sides like a fiddle while not EVER actually explaining what his view of diversity actually is.

You don't get to pretend that his attacks on diversity aren't an attack on non-white non-christian people. It's both prejudice and racist, it can be both. You hiding behind his clearly divisive statements and saying "well hey they are just prejudice not racist" is ridiculous.

Canada would not be where we are today without diversity. You want to doom this country? quit importing the best people from foreign countries to make Canada better, which is what our immigration system does.

I love the new conservative with there "It's not racist, it's just homophobic/prejudice/bigotted" like that's any fucking better. Get with the god damned times.

Since Maxime won't ever explain his statements, but continues to make them, it's up to the public to put two and two together. You've come up with three apparently.

Edit: I'd like to add, Trump ran on this same divisive platform and idiots voted for him, many against their own interests and got their spouses deported then proceeded to act like "I didn't think he meant MY Mexican" fuckin idiots are gonna idiot I guess.

i lost you after the biggest problem is social media..which i agree

you are still not doing what others do..you like so many modern people don't even seem to know what racism is..

> love the new conservative with there "It's not racist, it's just homophobic/prejudice/bigotted" like that's any fucking better. Get with the god damned times.

i love you not knowing the difference

rainbow flags in elementary classrooms..getting this Modern lgbtq <--bs it called Homo sex u al..shoved down kids throats in kindergarten

and not telling parents because they might get in the way maybe modern

but is just wrong

ps i have homosexual and non white friends..and you have been brainwashed

so there goes that part of your reasoning

now lets get on to the climate change stuff..where they are terrorizing the children

no..its called weather..in the 60's besides the pall of nuclear holocost

[duck and cover]

we were told that the empire state building would be under ice..

now go back to facecult..and talking about Trump, dumbass

and i hope the "there" vs "their" was a typo

Exactly what's so wrong with it?

You're still railing against the sex ed curriculum? Idiot didn't even read it obviously. Literally nothing changed from grades JK-7 OTHER than telling kids their penis is a penis. Fuck outta here with your hateful bullshit. People are gay. Deal with it. The fact they get respect and treated like they exist is an issue to you? Fuck outta here.

How about all those conversative cuts to education? we aren't going to talk about those... what about rolling back all day kindergarten which allowed parents to make the money they needed to pay for feeding their kids? We aren't going to talk about that. You want to talk about made up outrage that was disproved when fuckup Wynne was running shit....

You live in a fucking world of make believe my dude. What the fuck media do you consume? Rebel? Jesus fuck...

OMG this just keeps getitng better and better.

Bra I ain't ever had a facebook account. I'm just not brainwashed by politicians into hate is all. I believe in treating everyone equally and based on their character. I don't fear a muslim man for being a muslim man until that specific muslim man gives me reason to.

That's clearly where we are different.

And read this part real clear, when you call someone a snowflake respond to their posts directly, get off your bitch shit and be a man.

"I have a gay and black friend" you're a living fucking meme dude...

the facebook was a joke..

you meme people are so lame

thats right taunt me because i have nonwhite and homosexual friends

i AM being man

as for being brainwashed by politcians into "hate"..good grief ..another of those "code" words

there are mostly ..like 99.99% are only poilticians pushing your kiddie shit

the people who have any guts get black listed like the old McCarthy witch hunts where you lose your job over

being on the wrong side of facism

if Hollywood is all for your idea of reality like they are then maybe you should give your head a scratch

exactly nothing was done behind parents backs. This is misinformation. The curriculum was posted online during Wynne's administration for all to read, I read it, you didn't... clearly.

If teachers WERE going out of their way to teach kids things NOT in the curriculum they should have been punished. However there is 0 reported cases of a student coming home from first grade saying their teacher taught them about homosexual sex.

Kids were taught what the names of their body parts to better help protect them against sexual predators that use "Nick names" for parts of the body which sometimes allows them to go unnoticed for years abusing the child.

This was all explained very well at the time. The fact idiots voted against childs safety because of Tanya Dumb-bitch Allen is disappointing.

The misinformation was doubly effective because Wynne was a lesbian and it stoked Christian fears that she was trying to pervert their children into the gay agenda....

you know just more run of the mill conservative prejudice, bigotry, and fear mongering against a less powerful group of society.

Edit: just to be fair, I have heard that "weird" shit is being taught in highschool. But you know what... Kevin Gates is rapping about eating asshole in every other song, and kids can find that on Youtube. it's time to accept our current reality...if kids are listening to celebrities eating assholes then they need to be taught they can get dysentery, that's the job of sex ed.

Times have changed dude.
