  1. She was absolutely right about embarrassing cousin that no one wants to talk about. What she doesn’t realize is that it’s her. What an idiot a true idiot she has lived here her whole life she should know how to wear a cowboy hat.

  3. “she should know how to wear a cowboy hat.”
    True. But in Notley’s world, cowboy hats are passé. Ranchers, oil workers and other blue collar types are not part of the “new” Alberta. She is clearly delusional and will receive a rude awakening in 4 years. For the sake of all Albertans, I hope the damage can be kept to a minimum.

  4. I have a strong feeling that I – and mine – are the embarrassing cousins that no one wants to talk about. However, haven’t noticed that said embarrassment is sufficient to deter her and her like-minded colleagues from picking our pockets to fund their favoured causes. What hipocrats!!

  6. How many embarrassed Albertans would have the nerve to say, “I want my vote back”?
    It reminds me of the weeks and months following the Ray days in Ontario. You couldn’t find anyone who would admit to voting for him.

    “…in Notley’s world, cowboy hats are passé”
    Yet look at the way she will masquerade with one and lie to reveal her own “sense of values”.

  10. Again we se socialist genetics are stronger than the truth. Notley does not represent Alberta “values” as the NDP would have been decertified as a part due to lack of seats but Klein took pity on the single seat they held and intervened to save Dipper party status.
    Notley also disingenuously ignores the meteoric rise of the Wild Rose party from no seats to opposition in 2 years. They also represent many urban ridings and represent “Alberta values” – unfortunately their leader did not so they missed becoming the government (this time).
    Notley’s Dipper code-speak is evident in the statement about “young urban cosmos willing to embrace new ideas” she refers to the Dipper’s voter base being naïve first time voters with no kids/family who can bee fooled into believing re-packaged Marxism is a “new” idea.

  11. The other scary part is how quickly these Moonbats take on delusions of grandeur whenever they feel that they have “made it”. Alison Redfraud did it, Obamba also does it, right along with every other dictatorial entity that tastes a little power over the little people.
    The biggest issue I have with the whole political scheme, is that there are no serious consequences for any of them. No one goes to jail & no one is executed for crimes against the electorate.
    Things would definitely “change” if the consequences were there and enforced.

  13. It seems as though Notley is ashamed of being a hillbilly. Which of course she should.
    Notley is probably more surprised than anyone else what hand she has been given. Now, she is in compensating overdrive to dismiss her past, her hillbilly roots.
    When you think about it she is not talking about why is it that the socialists are going to do other than blow 6 billion dollars that they say and another 3-4 billion the don’t say.
    Isn’t Notley sophisticated and cosmopolitan?
    No different than the would be queen Redford.
    Seems that in Alberta we get just slightly ahead of our time to get things right.

  15. Notley is embarrassed by the blue collar crowd, especially those in the gas and oil industry but was probably advised by her handlers that the troublesome rednecks could be placated by nothing more than her donning of a Stetson. I think she will find in short order that the vast majority of Albertans are not Edmontonians gathering to discuss pressing social issues and “embracing new ideas” whilst sipping trendy beverages.

    “”Oooh that Notley, she’ll get hers in 4 years!””
    I didn’t read that comment posted on this thread by anyone but yourself, where did you get that infantile quote from?
    It sounds exactly like a projected Moonbat talking point about Harper.
    Many of us Albertan’s are quite happy to watch Rachel Nutley burn Alberta’s “Hot Economy” to the ground for 4 years. Alberta was long overdue for an “economic correction” to burst more than a few inflated bubbles and send the hundreds of thousands of deadbeats and squatters from across Canada and the Third World home.
    You need to have lived a very long time in Alberta to understand the mess that the Liberal left, Conservative in name only “Progressive” conservatives did too Alberta over the last decade and more.
    Rachel Notley is the PERFECT destructive weapon to quickly correct the “wrongs” done to Alberta, by destroying it’s current inflated economy and forever cementing a hatred for the Left in young Albertan’s minds.

  18. Same leftist detachment that Chretien demonstrated when he wore a blue peacekeeper’s army helmet on backwards.
    But of course, no mention of that blunder in the MSM either.
    Now if Harper had worn the stetson backwards, that would be a story.

  19. It’s like I don’t know you people. Isn’t it obvious she wears the hat that way so it will face forward when she rides the horse?

  20. “biffjr” at the top of the page, for starters, and few others on SDA since the election.
    Whatever floats your boat, Knight, but you’d better hope there’s something to rebuild from after for long years of full-on progressive.

  21. @Knight99, for someone who claims to be a long-time Albertan you appear to know very little about the Alberta economy and understand even less.
    The only Albertans I know who are happy to watch our energy industry struggle are the radical socialists – because they imagine a utopia where a super-spectacular industry they like magically replaces the evil E&P companies overnight – and, apparently, you.
    I also have no idea why you think the people leaving the province are going to be deadbeats and squatters. The people who will be leaving are the ones who have expertise in the industry and no job to work at so they will take their talents, and money, elsewhere. The approximately 35,000 people who have lost their jobs in Calgary aren’t deadbeats and squatters – they are the engineers, geologists, geophysicists, operators, finance specialists, and all of their support personnel, etc. who make your world go around.
    You have to be slightly unhinged professing to be happy watching people lose their livelihoods on the basis that it is going to make your magical thinking become reality. Give your head a shake.

  22. Notley says Alberta is open for business, and is going on a tour next week to tell people about the Alberta advantage.
    But she is against the Keystone Pipeline because (a) climate change, and (b) the XL would discourage refining in Alberta because, as we all know, government knows best, and the fact that industry has deemed more refining in Alberta to be uneconomic does not count in the NDP’s world of fairies and pixie dust.
    She’ll do a lot of damage in four years.

  23. If we built a new refinery in Alberta totally surplus to Alberta’s needs we could send the gasoline and diesel by rail through Quebec.

  24. The oil and gas will still be in the ground 4 years from now.
    Many companies are short on operating capital and are shutting in wells and laying off staff.

  25. I believe the psychiatric term for Notley’s condition is delusional. I pray to God that she will learn this 4 years from now.

  26. I believe now would be the time that we start rallying the populace to start recall proceedings for every NDP riding g when the new budget comes down here in AB. Put the government on notice that “We the People ” run this province, not the those who have been temporarily voted into these positions.
    They work FOR us, not the other way around.
    Backwards-hat thinking will not be tolerated here in this province.

  27. Notley inherited not only her NDP bona fides genetically but a default political victory in a province with an NDP-like spending legacy from “conservative” progressives. It’s as if Redford remained and has loaded her caucus with U of A undergrads in social work.

  28. 35,000 jobs gone? Right. Multiply that by a factor of 10 in 2 years. I only hope the province of Alberta can hang on for five years, because Rachael ain’t going to give her crown up in only four!

  29. Delusion, deceit, its all in the socialist Dipper vocabulary.
    A means to an end for the obstructionists

  30. slaw>
    Meh, whatever, I sit in one of those Calgary skyline oilfield offices when not travelling around the oilfield world. So actually I do have a pretty clear understanding of where my opinions come from.
    Oz gets it right, Alberta oil & gas isn’t going anywhere, this is a time to restructure, streamline, and buy-in low. “dj” gets it as well from the Saskatchewan experience.
    Those who have been around know that the western Canadian markets are “boom & bust”, the smart saved a little and lived below their means during the boom times. That’s all, see ya on the other side.

  32. I wonder, does the new leadership cabal – with out of province chiefs of staff ensconsed in 10 out of 12 ministries, plus federal NDPer Brian Topp as the premier’s new chief of staff – know more about Alberta’s changing values? They do know more about transforming capitalism away from fossil fuels to cleaner pursuits such as daycare and social work and other useful unionized government jobs. Doesn’t that just make you just warm and fuzzy all over?
    It’s true you can’t make this stuff up. Harper is set to sweep Alberta but there is a progressive change comprised of young, non voting people who are open to embracing more taxes, I mean bigger government, I mean “new things.” Yes, soon to be a young voting groups set to kick out these one term socialist fools out.

  33. Truth check…
    NO ONE should be more embarrassed than my fellow citizens in Ontario for their choice of government.
    At least Albertans have recognised their mistake early enough to fight back
    Here we just keep voting the crooked bastards back in

  34. Right you are Paul. Ontario is the poster province for condoning and rewarding lies and corruption with majority governments.

  35. Correct. Because a real cowboy will politely take it off your head. Then kick you in the behind so hard you will be wearin’ your ass for a hat.

  36. Minuteman – I believe it was a UN helmet he wore assbackwards – Great leader of the people. I believe too he mistook Normandy for Norway or Vichy or some such also.

  37. Actually you’ve got it wrong the Stetson is facing the right way, it’s her head that’s on backwards. Relativity as Einstein postulated.

  41. All this sophistication from a serial politician from grande prairie who couldn’t fill a cabinet with 12 people that have more experience than a local PTA
    A cabinet of pepper pots that the main criteria looked like a lower weight limit
    On the news today she said we can’t be a one commodity province, not realizing that we export coal, gas, log,electricity lumber and technology,plus all the agricultural products.
    Can’t wait to toss these dips in 3.5 years , counting down

  42. It is totally wishful thinking, but I like to daydream that Notley, upon discovering that there’s no magical money tree outside the premier’s office window, will realize she’s in over her head and call an early election. To dream, the impossible dream…..

  43. So Notley is cheering Hillarys decision to cancel Keystone.Good God Alberta these idiots are out to destroy everything.I couldn’t help but notice the appearance of Alberta plates on our housing site in BC.The guys I talked to say work is drying up in Alberta and it will be getting worse.
