  2. Rex on the federal NDs and the plight of many Albertans:
    Was on the water about two hours and that was all the fun I could stand…mine you actually standing was iffy.
    If you have not read about the commie LEAP Mainfesto, you might want to skim over it. Scary commie crap by anti-capitalists and fossil-fuel haters who apparently get around on pixie dust.

  3. (It’s an instrumental piece, so non-speakers of Austrian ought not feel intimidated.)
    What about non-speakers of German?

  6. Something to perhaps un-kink the brain synapses with some mental gymnastics, ….it could even be legit:
    Many years ago, I married a widow out of love who had an 18-year-old daughter.
    After the wedding, my father, a widower, came to visit a number of times, and he fell in love with my stepdaughter. My father eventually married her without my authorization.
    As a result, my step-daughter legally became my step-mother and my father my son-in-law.
    My father’s wife (also my step-daughter and my step-mother), gave birth to a son who is my grandchild because I am the husband of my step-daughter’s mother.
    This boy is also my brother, as the son of my father. As you can see, my wife became a grandmother, because she is the mother of my father’s wife.
    Therefore, it appears that I am also my wife’s grandchild.
    A short time after these events, my wife gave birth to a son, who became my father’s brother-in-law, (the step-son of my father’s wife)
    and my uncle.
    My son is also my step-mother’s brother, and through my step-mother, my wife has become a
    grandmother and I have become my own grandfather.
    In light of the above mentioned, I would like to know the following:
    Does my son, who is also my uncle, my father’s son-in-law, and my step-mother’s brother fulfil the requirements for receiving childcare benefits?
    Sincerely yours,
    Mohammed
    Of course you qualify Mo … I have arranged to start mailing cheques to all of you just as soon as you arrive here in Canada. Welcome aboard…

  7. It’s a joke (I think). Back when an American president (or candidate) referred to “speakers of Austrian”.

  12. The directors of the Justin show are making a mockery of the Office of Prime Minister of Canada. Justin is being directed like an actor in a play. The serious business is being made to look like child’s play as he goofs around doing circus tricks and doing selfies around the globe. It’s obvious he isn’t making the decisions, where would he find the time?

  15. Really JJM? Kate was obviously making a tongue-in-cheek reference to a early Barak Obama display of his all encompassing ignorance.
    I trust you were as well?

  16. The last time I heard anyone refer to Austria as having a language that would be called either Austrian (or ‘Aust’ which is even cooler) …. was Obama, right after his reference to having visited almost all 57 states.

  17. Rex at his best:
    (Wall) “stands as the only voice of national prominence willing, without embarrassment or hesitation, to mount a defence for the workers in the oilpatch, and likewise the only politician with the courage necessary to dissent openly to the many soggy premises and doomsday sloganeering of triumphalist, uncompromising environmentalism”

  19. The ndp are meeting in Edmonton at their national convention.
    Their message? Get rid of fossil fuels, implement the ‘LEAP Manifesto’. Good one. Can we do more damage? Well, we have to at least try….
    Lets see how Mrs Notley squares this with her new found zeal for pipelines. She tells Albertan’s one thing but her message at the convention will be one of solidarity. Hatred of fossil fuel is universal in the ndp.
    Every picture you see of her she is at a pipeline protest. What a disingenuous faker she is. It is convenient for her to hide behind bongo’s hatred of Alberta and the oil/gas industry.

  21. Question: How does a federal NDP LEAPer get to Edmonton for a convention without using fossil fuels?

  28. Soon Venezuelans will be like the Soviet citizens were for seventy years, eating potatoes and cabbage. This is where we are headed if the NDP gets its way.

  29. AGW RIP.

    Probably by clinging on to the back of a capitalist!
