Seeing as how they’ve hit the lowest common denominator in competency, I guess there’s only one more step.
…and has often dreamed of a day when the question of gender parity wouldn’t even arise.
Me too, Ted, me too.

Interesting how the same people who savaged Harper's "tough on crime" agenda now want the criminal burden of proof lowered. #Ghomeshi

The Justin Trudeau Filmmaking Fund for Women who don’t Direct Good*
Equal pay for equally worthless works;
The National Film Board of Canada, the country’s government-funded film producer, on Tuesday announced it will ensure at least half of its productions will be directed by women, and half of all production financing will go towards helping women tell their own stories.

More and more often we find out that these militant Social Justice Warriors are merely projecting their own flaws.

Oh, I know, Promoting Cynicism in Politics.
In Alberta, corporations and unions are banned from donating to political parties under legislation passed by Notley’s government last spring.
This, on the heels of cancelling a $1k/person pre-event to “offer closer access to Notley and her legislature members”.
Pay to play, just not for the little people.
More.

If Women Ran The World
Consent, conschment: … warning to men: DON’T HAVE SEX WITH A FEMINIST. As soon as she says “I’m a feminist,” run fast. Do it now. Just go, don’t look back.

Gov’t of Alberta censors press.
All budding totalitarians know that if you can’t control the press, you can’t control the masses.
Update: The story at The Rebel. And why not throw throw some bucks into the pot so The Rebel can set a precedent that no government in Canada can decide who is or isn’t a journalist. You’re forced to give $35 bucks a year to the CBC, why not match that for The Rebel?
Update: According to the National Post article, the Notley Crue are doubling down. It should be mentioned that Sheila Gunn Reid single-handily destroyed the Alberta NDP over Bill 6.
Update: Faith comes out of the closet.

Useful Fool Country
Turns out pleasing your friends doesn’t turn them into friends, either.
The province takes one economic blow after another from Canadians, despite NDP Premier Rachel Notley’s cheery efforts to make friends across the country.
Tuesday’s flat rejection of the Energy East pipeline by 82 Montreal-area municipalities means Alberta is now under virtual economic blockade.
Every cross-border project that matters to the energy industry is stymied by objections from provinces, municipalities and interest groups.
And it’s a funny thing — the objectors never seem to mention Alberta’s noble climate change policy, the one that was supposed to soften opposition to pipelines.
Juxtapose.
I trust Montreal area mayors will politely return their share of $10B in equalization supported by west #EnergyEast https://t.co/DUtlu4VjPx

Red Ink Country
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.
