#LockHerUp: “When normal politicians change their minds we label it flip-flopping or – more kindly – “evolving” in their thinking. When a Master Persuader does it, you are seeing pacing and leading, which is a major tool of persuasion. Pacing involves matching people – in this case emotionally – and later using that bond to lead them.”
Problem is Notley doesn’t run a crime syndicate like Klintoon did. By the time the next election rolls around federally though I would bet that it will become clear once again that Liberano’s never changed and the official CPC campaign slogan should be “lock them up” at that time.
“Problem is Notley doesn’t run a crime syndicate like Klintoon did”
It doesn’t matter, she’s invaded my Safe Space and seriously offended me.
These protesters were using “lock her up” as a symbolic metaphor of conservatism raging against the Global Leftist Machine. I get that, but seriously I want her “Locked da F*ck Up” for what she’s doing to Alberta, and a mental institution where her people really need to be would do just fine.

The “lock her up” chant should hardly concern conservative parties – they didn’t start it. It was a spontaneous crowd response that should concern Red Rachel. Who knows, maybe it was NDP supporters concerned about how they are all going to be gone in the Big Flush in the spring of 2019. Her incompetence must be of concern to her Marxist buddies.
They seem surprised that their crazy ideology is failing, this is Not What Was Taught In School.
…is a failed conservative policy.
Ambrose and some of the CPC are letting the media control the message.
Is anyone else in the CPC getting on board with the unhappy, unemployed people in Alberta?
I think a lot of Canadians don’t do irony very well; I saw the video, and don’t think the chant was meant seriously at all. Rachel Notley is stupid and incompetent, like our own dear Kathleen but I don’t think she’s done anything criminal, yet. What killed me was what I heard of part of a call in programme on CBC Ottawa radio, hosted by Rita Celli. The 1st caller was an Albertan living in Ont, has lots of friends and family, and was quite justly choked up about the situations that some of them are in. She said she would have joined in. A subsequent caller, older woman said the first caller was stupid, and a man, later harrumphed about misogyny and “threatening an elected public official”. I wanted to crawl down the radio waves and punch him on the nose.
I don’t know if you remember the lyrics of Dire Straits, Money for Nothing (from 1986), but it’s been latterly interpreted as homophobic; I was talking to a friend at work about it, and his comment was that too many people couldn’t see a joke and took themselves far too seriously. Amen to that

“….but I don’t think she’s done anything criminal, yet.”
Agreed the petty criminality will come soon enough, it’s too bad Alberta didn’t have it’s own Provincial Treason Laws though, she have lost her case over a year ago.
Ideological policies may not be a criminal offence, but that shouldn’t stop the Germans from arresting Merkel as an enemy of the State.
For ideological reasons Rachel Notley has taken a resource rich engine of Canada’s economy to the basement, causing the destruction of businesses and families based on provably faked scientific lies, and foreign influence – across the country.
Never forget that she was elected with 30% of the Alberta vote, yet her failed policies do indeed affect the entire country to one degree or another. The only winners in this “cause” will be foreign dictatorships like China & Saudi Arabia, and most probably a few “green initiatives” we will probably find in Notleys back pocket in years to come.
