  1. If Aaron Brower would simply buy an NDP membership, I think this problem would just go away.
    do I actually need to add the \sarc here?

  2. The NDP has wage continuous war with farmers. Red Rachel is sacrificing her rural members. In most of the world you can buy human antibiotics without a prescription. In Alberta you now need a prescription to buy most veterinary medicines. You have to be licensed as a farmer. It’s one thing after another.

  3. super. another link I need to ‘subscribe’ with no little ‘x’ to close the popup.
    does ‘subscribing’ still count when I use fake info?

  4. I suspect the problem is the browser you’re using. On Mac Safari, I didn’t get any popup ad, nor did I need to subscribe to view the contents.

  5. For as much attention as certain policies have got because they are headline grabbers (e.g. carbon tax, min wage increase) the damage that is being done at a bureaucratic level is just as bad or worse. Permitting, licensing, etc. that used to take days now takes weeks or months, if it is processed at all. This is the case across all industries. All of this is completely unreported because it isn’t interesting and “only” affects industry but it’s consequences are profound in terms of resources being expended to try and break the logjams.
    It’s good some of this is coming to light but there is so much more….

  6. I’m been searching web including the BC NDP election platform for where it says where the Premier would act outside the law, extra-jurisdictionally, while simultaneously abrogating the Canadian Constitution, in fact our very founding documents.
    Hmm, can’t find it anywhere. It must be promulgated elsewhere. Let’s try “political sex with the Greens.”
    No, can’t seem to google that one either. How can that be? Oh yeah, that’s definitely friggin sarcasm.
    Statists desire ever more power over us; they’ve amply demonstrated they’ll just take if democracy fails to yield the required result.

  7. Let me guess: the Dippers figure we shouldn’t be eating dead animals in the first place so we should eat soy instead?
    Anything to appease Mommy Gaia…..

  8. Cattle is baaaaad mmmmkay?!
    Vegan bureaucrats are gooood mmmmmkay!?
    The bureaucracy has been weaponized to push a fashionable narrative about healthy, “sustainable”, lifestyles down the gullets of US and Canadian Ranchers.

  9. We don’t need smelly, dirty farms or their noisy animals. Close them all down. We don’t want them. Everyone knows food comes from Safeway.

  10. Yep … with the help of the “eco-justice” warriors embedded in government bureaucracies. “Meat is murder” and cows create more Co2 per lb on the hoof than equivalent of Kale (or soy) Tofu! For a cleaner-greener planet!! Yeayyyyyyy *cough* *cough*

  11. Elite globalists. get the people out of rural areas where they are free and make their own way and provide for others. Get them into the cities so they can be cramped up, ordered around with thousands of bylaws, their kids can learn how to behave in public schools and you’ll be too busy learning how to be a lazy citiot to care. And the most important thing they learn is how to vote leftist because “Albertans” didn’t vote in statists, CITY Albertans did. Cities are reservations for white folk.

  12. This is the true face of the NDP. The fight for pipelines is just because they came to the realization that they need money to run the government, and most of that comes from oil. If they could have their cake and eat it too, they’d shut the whole industry down.

  13. “Cities are reservations for white folk.”
    Didn’t take long for the thread to turn into uninformed tribalistic blowhardism. The residents of Hong Kong would be fascinated to know they are in a reservation for whites.
    ” In Alberta you now need a prescription to buy most veterinary medicines. ”
    Insofar only as this applies to antibiotics, this is one of the few good things to come out of this government (assuming it was Notley’s policy). Antibiotic resistance is a menace, and antibiotics should be tightly controlled.

  14. I commented at the Gateway Gazette post you linked to but it’s subject to moderation and is a very hatey comment, prolly will be ditched, so here it is:
    This is a very weak post.
    Is there some reason you could not name names? You write that “…Alberta Environment and Parks (AEP) sent out letters…”
    I am going to assume this post is substantially true and based on that –
    I don’t care that AEP sent letters. The fact of real importance is that some arsehole employed by AEP sent out the letters. Some other arseholes also employed by AEP either authorized the letters or acquiesced in them.
    I want their names, the names of their supervisors, the names of the responsible deputy minister and cabinet minister as well as their email addresses, office addresses, home addresses, and office, cell and home phone numbers.
    Journalism is dead. Laziness killed it.
    As for Pat Stier writing “The Official Opposition will be raising this very serious issue in the legislature when the session resumes in March.”, what a load of gutless shite. “Oooh, oooh”, squealed the offensive bureaucrats, “Stier raised an issue, we’ll fix it right up, oooh we’re so frightened.”
    Get those names, call them, ask them what the fuck they think they are doing and tell them to fix it or you’ll do your best to get them fired.
    Conservatives, still cowardly, mealy mouthed and thirsting for defeat.

  15. Fascinating,the bureaus run wild.
    Sure there is no law,just regulations.
    Which the “Greys” use to crush all who reject their omnipotence.
    If the Presstitutes and useful idiots understood the crushing weight and destruction caused by the machinations of state, they would be crying a whole lot louder over President Trumps stance on regulation.
    Which is removing a crushing weight from producers lives.
    Because they do not understand,the USA is currently gaining enormous competitive advantage over most other western countries.
    The current cost of “government help” or over regulation ,in Canada,is incalculable.
    The bureaus under a Liberal Government will destroy that data before letting the dumb citizen access.
    Last estimate was $30 Billion per year ,ignoring the cost of litigation.
    In USA, reasonable expectation is returning.
    Here,if an activity is not permitted,as in no law against it,it is forbidden.

  16. Obviously you don’t have a background in life sciences, so as usual you are ignorant of the facts pertaining to the issue.
    “the USA is currently gaining enormous competitive advantage over most other western countries.”
    The US is currently…tied with Canada on the ‘economic freedom ranking’, at 11th place. Somehow, I doubt their sinking currency and imminent tariffs on steel and other imports are going to entice investment.

  17. I wonder if there is a way to make unions turn against government. Probably not. If you are dumb enough to join a union, you’re dumb enough to ignore history. The unions were never intended to be the ones in charge of the worker’s paradise. Napoleon is the leader; Boxer is irrelevant.
    Too bad they didn’t get a 100% mortality rate at that Scottish windfarm. I am thinking the power workers, the rescuers, are all union members.
