Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

“But this woman just brought in a more or less balanced budget.”
God I hate stupid people who believe Redford’s lies. Between telling us several times how the budget was balanced, they did tell us that there was a 4 billion dollar deficit. Weren’t any of the media actually listening?
That Danielle Smith is such an anti-female … female. More idiocity!
I suppose we are going to have to revise Lady MacBeth, since it is not possible for women to be offside on anything.
Or we can just wait for Hillary to give us a contemporary reprise of the role.
Racist sexist homophobes oppose whatever it is we support.
Cannot the liberals ever muster an argument, rather than immediate resort to name-calling?
Fragile, delicate ladies must never, ever be criticized, you understand.
But we can do everything men can do! We can handle the glare and spotlight and character attacks that are par for the course for everyone involved in politics!
Just don’t criticize us; out come the smelling salts then.
Please.
Margaret Thatcher would like to have a word with this columnist.
” schlepping through security, holding her pants up with one hand?”
The horror that a servant of the people has to be treated like everyone else! This was written by a woman expecting/demanding privilege. Fascist Socialist of the first order.
I look at the US State Dept & see all those “Girl Scout Cookie sellers” (storm troopers) that are now Experts in everything… They have no boundary or decency.
Grievance trolling Kate? Really?
Well, if that stupid old woman can’t handle the heat, she should get back in the kitchen. And as for our moral and intellectual superiors in the media and the Conservative Party – if I wanted thieving liberal sacks of shite running my province I would have voted for them. As long as you are going to defend that leftist cankle that runs your party, I will not vote for you.
Has anyone ever accused a male politician of “playing the dad card”? Has any male politician ever played the “dad card”?
If Roamin’ Redford wants to spend more time with her family she can always resign like dozens of disgraced politicians before her.
Trudeau and CBCpravda are playing it right now
I wonder where this idiot columnist was when a staffer at Redford’s constituency office questioned the viability of Danielle Smith’s ovaries during the last election?
I believe her name was Amanda Wilkie, which is a rather feminine name for a misogynist…
The comments at the link don’t buy into the columnists feminist little-girl whine at all!
And columnist Don Braid takes her to task as well. Redford’s SO obviously another elitist who believes the rules are for others,Albertans must have had their heads in the sand when they voted her in with a huge majority, and expected anything else.
Lately Redford has been making our own “single Mother” Preem seem almost Thatcher-like by comparison.
Well, yes, Premier Dalton McGuinty. But that was a “special” case.
Kate, that Herald link is dead; looks like they took it down.
And no common sense, no common decency, and no competence. The Night Hags are all sisters of Baba Yaga
and bring death and destruction to whatever they touch – Libya, Egypt, Syria, and now Ukraine.
“Yes, Redford is on the road – a lot – because that’s how we roll in Alberta – with the big guns” –article
LOL – yes with confiscated guns from High River no doubt.
(like she wouldn’t rather be home with her daughter watching American Idol instead of putting in yet another trip to Washington) – article
No doubt she would, if it paid the same gravy train, and provided the equivalent power over the little people.
What politically driven MSM Liberal drivel.
Go Danielle Smith!
Drivel is right. The majority of the comments to the article are calling out this Klassen twit on her premise.
One comment, “if you can’t use the race card, use the gender card”.
Leftist philosophy always incorporates demonizing. They learned well from Lenin.
Next time vote for the other skirt!
The Herald is Calgary’s Liberal newspaper, Redford is supposed to be the Conservative party’s leader.
Where is the Alberta Liberal Party’s female leader?
Where is the Alberta NDP Party’s female leader?
Why is Calgary’s Liberal newspaper leveling Liberal style identity politics accusations of sexism in defence of the conservative party’s leader?
Could it be that Alison Redford and the Progressive Conservative Party of Alberta are not conservative at all?
If not, Albertans need to know. I don’t think they will elect this party to govern next election if they know the PCs aren’t conservative.
Ken (Kulak) >
Exactly.
“We finally read Alinsky.”
I don’t know what personal nerve this issue has struck with Ms. Klassen and I think that her argument is way off the mark. However, she’s generally no shill for Redford or the PC government (and the City of Calgary, for that matter).
She’s written some fairly scathing commentary recently about wasteful government spending, the ‘Friends of the Medicare System’ and Mayor Nenshi’s grab of tax dollars intended to be returned to Calgarians. Not bad for someone who grew up working for the CBC.
Comments section is taking her to task something ferocious.
I love the Intertubes. 🙂
I think it was someone here that called her ‘Dalton McGuinty in a skirt”.
That fits well, Dalton would even like it.
OTOH, it is tough being a parent and being in politics, and lots of other jobs also.
If you can’t do both, then make a choice.
Justin is on day 12 of parental leave, which raises a few questions ?
The first ;
Is he negotiating with Maury Povich for an appearance fee?
The second;
Why does he get to leave his job for this long and is not questioned by the media? If he chose to take the EI paternity leave, fine. But we should still know where he is . We are paying his wage.
The Alberta advantage is truly and terminally gone. Alberta is now just another enclave of klepto-demntia progressia with the worst (poser) government it has ever suffered under. The Calgary Herald and Edmonton Journal are as red as the CBC. Land titles is a branch office of Agenda 21, government is as large as it has ever been and more intrusive and belligerant than ever before with the provincial police competing with street punks for B&E swag while gang violence increases the cops are busy sniffing your breath through the car window – it is no longer Alberta it is a fully annexed UN vassal state.
– And it only took a few years – who said female political leaders can’t get things done.
While it only took a few years to undo the good Premier Klien did in the early ’90’s,by the infiltration of progressive posers. This weekend the start of the same plan was launched in Okatoks. Winning the nomination for McCloud was a journalist named John Barlow. He ran as a PC against Danielle Smith, losing by 2k votes. Like all the PC’s the Edmonton Journal and Calgary Herald he dismisses the High River gun grab as nothing more than protecting the people from themselves. He will get elected in the bi election and become a MP in the CPC. So the infiltration begins.
I will be staying involved with my constituency board,working to get more WRA elected. But I fear my great province is going the way of Ontario. Regulations, rules, debt, political correctness.
Going to really miss the Alberta advantage.
Leave the bitch alone, she’s black after all….
(I’m gonna hear about this one I think)
The poll at the site linked is going horribly wrong (and I gave it some help).
Hey!! You forgot to say something about ‘polls gone horribly wrong’!!
