Never attribute to stupidity that which can be adequately explained by malice.
The circle of NDP imports moving into senior provincial government positions in Alberta continues to expand with the appointment of Marcella Munro to run communications and stakeholder outreach in Premier Rachel Notley’s Calgary office.
Munro moved to Calgary from Vancouver. She is a former CBC reporter, B.C. NDP activist and former Earnscliffe Strategy Group lobbyist who openly opposed Enbridge Inc.’s proposed Northern Gateway pipeline. “Those of us who oppose it need to keep pushing,” she tweeted in 2013.
How can Albertans allow this invasion of B.C. losers? Scream, holler, harass the crap out of these people. Run them out on a rail. You are paying these commies wages. Where are your “Roughneck” balls?
Sorry, election’s over, Albertans have no choice but to suck it up. It’s the Canadian way.
Canada is almost pooched. we may go down before or at the same time as the u.s.
Why did Albertans hate Alberta so much that they voted for this disaster? Why do Canadians hate Canada so much that they would vote for Justin or Tommy?
The entire western world appears to be commiting econic and cultural suicide. Between tbe electing of communist provincial governments and likely a federal one coming up … In tandem with the invitation to the insane muslim world to come on down and take our country . Well I can see the end of freedom and prosperity from here.
Young people today should be livid over what is being left for them by us. By our politicians to be more specific. I do. Ot believe they have received enough real information in our marxist educational system to understand what is being done to them.
Individually, Albertans do not hate Alberta, and Canadians do not hate Canada. But our democratic society has evolved toward the dark-side of “democracy” that was feared by many philosophers – mob rule. The “mob” doesn’t think the way individuals do nor does it represent the ideals of the majority of its constituents.
Many of the people in Alberta who voted NDP were influenced as constituents of a mob and not as individuals.
I can strongly recommend: The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind by Gustave Le Bon.
It boggles my mind that soooooo many Canadians don’t realize that elections have consequences. Plus, then there are those hypocrites such as Liberal voters in Ontario, who constantly vote for thieves, then leave the province when things turn bad and consistentry vote in a similar manner in their new home province.
“Earnscliffe Strategy Group lobbyist”
The same ‘thinktank’ of political hacks on former PM Paul Martin’s ‘advisors’.
IE not a an actual scientist with logic and facts; a political hack who enjoys herding the unthinking sheeple into making Alberta a “Have Notley” province.
So when does this brilliant stategist suggest Albertans return to the caves, along with the dinosaurs of Drumheller?

Credentials people – there are just not enough home grown socialists or fascists in the province of Alberta!!! Ms Notley has to import her fellow travellers!!! There is an old saying – Enjoy the ride, you are going to get your democracy good and hard. I expected Edmonton to go NDP, given all the government union workers and students. Calgary spit in the eye of the energy companies that made their city possible. What is Calgary without the oil and gas industry? Ain’t enough agriculture to pay those urban bills. The NDP want to drive the head offices back east and turn the province into a provincial park.
HeH HeH HeH HaHaHa….and U newfbertans always tried to belittle us in ontarIowe, sucks to be you:-))))
Is this the same group of A*s*h*l*s who are belittling Mr. Harper for hiring an Australian advisor?
“Why did Albertans hate Alberta so much that they voted for this disaster?”
Calgary-Foothills was Jim Prentice’s riding.
note: even though the NDP came in second if the voters who cast for the PCs had cast for WildRose instead the WildRose candidate would have won with 59% of the vote.

Albertans split the conservative vote and the NDP came up the middle for a win.
The meme that Albertan’s wanted the NDP is a bald face lie.
Unlike with Ontario, where unions have always been very popular, Alberta will turf the NDP next election because they will want to return to prosperity of the energy sector.
Waiting for Alberta money to bail your sorry asses out NME666 and mike in White Rock?
Alberta now a have-not province and Notley’s Crew continue to demonstrate that’s the way they like it.
One-termers and the advisors will scurry back under the rocks in B.C. and Ontario once this term is done.
Not quite true there Oz. I know several PC voters who voted NDP in the last provincial election. In my riding the NDP pulled more votes than the WR/PCs combined despite the fact that this riding has been PC since Lougheed.
A portend of what is coming to Alberta…
Witch Doctor Business Booms as 30,000 Lose Jobs in Zimbabwe
http://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2015/09/11/witch-doctor-business-booms-as-30000-lose-jobs-in-zimbabwe/
Those who have lost their jobs may look for “traditional healers” to use natural remedies to conduct spells that will allegedly attract jobs to them, or make them more charming during job interviews. Kandiero noted that a large percentage of the growth in the witch doctor market came from Harare, the nation’s capital, where many who lost their jobs live. Those in more rural areas often live off the land or are self-employed.
The strength of Zimbabwe’s currency has hit unprecedented lows this year. In June, Zimbabwe announced it would begin to trade its dollars for U.S. dollars. While hyperinflation had hit 500 billion percent as early as 2008, it had somehow grown from there. At the time, 175 quadrillion Zimbabwean dollars would yield $5 American.
The NDP “Have Notley” plan no doubt… 🙂

Refugees from Syria?
Heck, how are we going to support all the refugees from Alberta?
Will we have to set up tent cities in Lloydminster and AlSask?
The ones I keep meeting are suffering from Post Traumatic NDP Stress Disorder.
A few wrong votes in October and that could spread across the Canada, just like the 1918 influenza.
I left Ontario for British Columbia after voting conservative in that last Ontario election. I will continue voting conservative here too.
Joe, they did not think it through properly. The voters disliked the corrupt PC Party so much that they blindly voted for the NDP. Smith did not help in this process what with her traitorous duplicity. The commies came up the middle in many ridings and are h*ll bent on making Alberta into a Luddite province.
Robert W, it does seem so. They do not seem to understand that the failed policies of the governments where they came from and resulting in the lack of work. So they move to find employment and then vote for the same sort of useless idiot politicians. Hopefully this does not also happen in Saskatchewan.
When you leave a fox in charge of the hen house, it usually ends up in the fox’s favour!!
JJM: Take a drive down Albert St. in Regina, Circle drive in Saskatoon, or Main St. in Moose Jaw, and count the Alberta plates!!
You got that rignt!!

You got that right!!
Albertans didn’t. The right was split; they were anti-Prentice-cum-liberals-in-bblue-suites and pro-conservative. Unfortunately the vote was split, while the left vote wasn’t.
A great tragedy that the media continue to mis-explain, to the advantage of the Dippers federally.
set you flea…..you are one of the blowhards in here, and just proved the point. It’s the “self” created circumstance that I reference. You tools let the “conservatives” slide down to liberal levels all the while denigrating the OntarIowers. You should have cleaned up the PC act out there years ago. SELF INFLICTED WOUND, suck it up buttercup:-)))
As an Albertan I’m not sure why the whining, we were long overdue to cool our “Hot Economy” if it took turfing the corrupt Liberal PC’s and allowing the Commie NDP to bankrupt the province for 4 years so be it.
We’re sending them home folks!

HoooooRaaaa!
The traffic on Hwy #2 is somewhat letting up, and downtown Calgary core finally has some breathing room. Soon we can expect housing to start becoming affordable again, and hopefully stop the Equalization payments to Quebec (What have we been bitching about all these years?).
As for the rest of Canada, well hopefully Alberta’s economic correction doesn’t affect your manufacturing and retail too much, but allot fewer Albertan’s will be buying new pickup trucks and other products over the next few years.
Once this market corrects, Albertan’s will be in a far better position, restructured and lean of deadbeats to turf the NDP and bring in a reinvigorated and hungry conservative WRP for the next 40 years.
Rounding up the nation’s NDP brain-trust to run what has been an essentially NDP-like over-spending PC Alberta government in an Oil down-turn is amusing. All that deficit and all they know is to bring on more of it. It reminds me of flies being drawn to sh*t.
Hi Glas.
You could not be more correct. We have been warned of this danger (and have seen its dreadful effects) for thirty centuries now. And still no lessons conclusively learned. I despair.

“How can Albertans allow this invasion of B.C. losers?”
Well, who do you think built my house, back in ’98….BC stoner refugees who had no work in BC? The Boom was just getting started. Not enough roofers, framers or plumbers available. Most residents on my street were BC economic refugees at the time (framers, roofers et al). They have since been replaced by Chinese economic refugees.
I doubt those Syrian ones could afford a house here, so I question Rachel’s drive to supercede federal authority and go right ahead and spend my tax dollars bringing her own lot “in”. It’s bad enough that marxist/green/anti oil/political NDP refugees are brought in to run this place, with Commie Central being the NDP under Mulcair(and the commie lite ones located in Ontario, Quebec & BC who think that they are running the country instead of the current government).
Just where in blue blazes are the Cons at the fed level on this? SILENT!!! Muffflzsir857d fe30? That’s about the level of public discussion from them, while cities declare themselves exempt from federal law, calling themselves “sanctuary cities” and provinces doing the federal government’s job on immigration/refuge settlement.
The CONS are AWOL, while they let the Media Party set the political agenda. Noballs, the whole lot!
“[C]ities declare themselves exempt from federal law, calling themselves ‘sanctuary cities’…”
The designation “sanctuary city” has no legal meaning and no city has the power to declare itself “exempt from federal law”.
Piss Off!!!.. I was kind of hinting about them being new employees of the Go.
Gov.
Vision of the NDP In Alberta:- is one of sustained economic growth and steady job creation. Not a Strong economy, not a Booming economy, not Canada’s Strongest economy but ONE that is Sustained and Steady. Now take a look at Manitoba NDP, we are a have not province with many UNION jobs (which are gov’t), our resources are slow at coming out of the ground and we are heavily taxed personally and other principal tax’s, this gov’t controls our Manitoba health, Pharma Care, MPI (auto ins.), Manitoba hydro and Manitoba telephone. I bet there is more I just can’t think of them all. A Government Province is not the way to go. We need to get gov’t out of our lives. I don’t want Government telling me how to LIVE and this is what is happening. Good Luck AB.
