  3. Oh, having a good laugh watching some old videos.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiWY0iRLV94

    “The Young Turks Election Meltdown 2016: From smug to utterly devastated.”

    But, everything they say, every tantrum they throw about Trump; it applies to Andrew Scheer and the CPoC brain trust. “HOW DID YOU LOSE TO THIS JOKE OF A PERSON!?!????” Yep.

    1. The only difference is that Trump’s a smart man. Prinz Dummkopf is, well, you know…..

    2. How did he lose indeed.

      Pretty simple. By NOT Standing up for 1 Goddamned Conservative Ideal – EVER.
      Ya don’t win by appeasing & kissing your enemies (_i_).

      ZERO BACKBONE
      Beyond WEAK…..and he still got some what, 120 seats..??
      pathetic performance
      pathetic campaign

      UDI NOW.

  4. I wanted to tell you a good joke about the elements but all the good ones Argon: (here goes)
    Carbon! – The happy Frenchman’s opinion after buying his new automobile.

    1. As the election boron, there were no substantial ads that were xenon TV that were radon target. (I know, my attempt at elemental humour was sodium!)

      1. An elemental twist on a scene from a James Cagney crime movie: a gangster is walking along the street when a police officer cesium. “I’d like to ask you some questions about europium,” hoping he wouldn’t have to go over to the gangster’s hideout and radium. The gangster runs away, shouting, “Come and get me, copper!”

        And then there’s the man who goes to a physician to see if he can helium. The physician prescribes a new cerium, which the man is supposed to take until the symptoms argon.

        And, if a substance is chemically indeterminate, is its gender hydrogenous?

        (I know they’re terrible, but you’ll just have to grin and barium.)

        1. I am going to have to go find a copy of ‘Ella Minnow Pea’, these jokes are making me think about it…

  6. In 1975 Bob Hope did a stand up routine in the Madison Square Garden and said:  ‘I just flew in from California where they voted to make homosexuality legal…  I thought I better get out before they made it mandatory…’

    It is now mandatory.

  8. So I found that first election prediction contest thread back in early September. This was the consensus of our predictions back then:

    Lib __ 144
    Con _ 148
    NDP __ 18
    Bloc __ 12
    Grn ____6
    Ind ____ 4

    (Ind was to include PPC in that version)

    Not a million miles off the actual results, perhaps predictably a bit optimistic on the Cons. About 90% of the predictions had more for the CPC than they managed to attain, as you can see the average error is about +20. The main feature is that the strength of the BQ was generally underestimated, in fact only one of about fifty predictions had too many Bloc MPs predicted. The NDP did a bit better than people were expecting, although I think their “surge” was more like a creep.

    On a statistical basis I am not sure whether these early forecasts weren’t actually closer to the outcome than those issued on the day before the voting closed. We certainly didn’t improve much, probably the Bloc numbers were better estimated though as that was becoming apparent.

    Predictions made by “Ray” and Steve in Rockwood appeared closest to the mark from my rather casual reading of the thread.

    1. Well, for the Dippers, depends on your point of view, whether the election was a success or not. Based on seat count alone, the outcome was bad, as their seats dropped from 42 to 24, they essentially lost Qbec. That was a flash in the pan thanks to jackaleighton.
      Jughead gave the appearance though of winning, a might bit overconfident, he thinks he’s going to wag Trudeau. Trudeau might be a lot of things, but the Lbs are more arrogant, and aren’t going to let their commie cousins run the show.
      And let’s not forget, the NDP is broke, and can’t afford to go to an election so soon, the Libs will rule as they see fit, pretty much. They can have the Traitors side with them as well…….

      1. The Dipper flash in the pan was supposed to end in 2015, with Jack Layton’s QC fortress dying with him.
        But, they still lost an additional 22 seats on Monday. How can they possibly claim any kind of victory?
        Power, of course, the statist elixir; they get to prop up the Grits. Will they also back them in committee?
        AB and SK have both stated these election results mean they are out of Confederation on items like equalization.
        And much, much more. But ON idiots thinks they’re the virtuous ones by called people of conscience bigots.
        They are wrong imho. Kenny and Moe should immediately stop sending CPP and provincial income taxes to Ottawa.
        As Quebec does now. The Laurentian majority, which lost the popular vote, think they are home and dry. They are wrong.

        1. That would require both provinces to set up their own tax departments for T1’s (they both have them for T2’s) and then negotiate with the federales to run their own CPP programs. It is true that Quebec has QPP, not CPP, and also a different rate for EI as it also has PPIP. It is NOT, however, true that all payroll contributions from Quebec companies go the the province. Companies with Quebec employees have to remit to both Quebec and Ottawa; Quebec gets the QPP, the PPIP, and Quebec provincial income tax while Ottawa gets the reduced EI and the federal income tax.

  9. Worth noting, the total votes cast for the Libertarian Party in 2015 were around five times this past election’s harvest, showing that four fifths of the Libertarian vote probably went to the PPC. The numbers were something like 37k down to 8k. So that’s not the entire PPC vote but a significant fraction of it. The number of Libertarian candidates went down considerably too, indicating perhaps some of them from 2015 ran for the PPC.

    I would say if the CPC wants to be done with the PPC, they need to take a stronger stand against climate lunacy and rethink their apparently see-no-problem attitudes to high immigration levels. Otherwise, the PPC or something like it will probably continue to exist.

    2. the terrible vote for the PPC will preclude ANYTHING of that nature from the CPC.
      path #2 will consist of Scheep bleating and clucking away . . . . . . .
      maybe resorting to voodoo . . . . .

  10. Blackie’s CBC is excited this morning that Liberal insiders are stating that the new Liberal cult government will work closely with the NDP to advance progressive(socialist) policies. And the CBC didn’t mention the hundreds of pro democracy in Hong Kong shirts that were handed out at the Raptors game last night. Must not upset China.

  11. Blackie’s Toronto Star celebrates the Liberal cult victory with a number of stories. Heather Mallick pretty well sums up the reaction of our new political masters in Canadian cities. She is excited that her hero Justin won, because he is the greatest friend feminists have ever had. He is wonderful! Canadians have rejected populism and the evil Conservatives who hate gays, minorities, and women. Western provinces whine too much and have been put in their place. Now we have to get rid of the evil Doug Ford.

  12. Now that Toronto is running the country, I hope they still have time to combat gun violence. More shootings in diverse Toronto yesterday. Sure glad Blackie is banning military assault weapons. No word yet on when he is banning tanks and fighter jets.

    1. John, recall that the Liberal campaign ads quoted Justin Trudeau as stating that the Liberal government “will take guns off the streets”. Nothing could be further from the streets. The Liberals want to make it more difficult for law-abiding people (hunters, target dhooters) to own guns.

      On the contrary, Trudeau intends to allow criminal gang members to still own illegal handguns. The Toronto police chief says there are 450 gang members walking around on bail, after being caught with illegal guns. Trudeau appoints soft-headed, mob-sympathizing judges, so these judges give criminals preferential treatment. Of course, lots of killings in Toronto.

  13. Rodeo Clown Scheer says he will stay on to fight Trudeau again in the next election. The Idiot offspring of Joe Clark and Kim Campbell will probably keep the same Loser advisor’s and insider’s and Steer Whisperer’s.
    Albertan’s and our neighbors I Sask. better get moving on getting out of Canada. Even when the Con’s get a majority like Harper they just stand there and wet themselves. They like walking around in wet suits I guess, all warm and fuzzy. Look we won, we won. Then do nothing to help the west. They are not even Conservative. He probably had roomfuls of Harper idiots advising him on tactics, probably a hot line to the lying POS Harper himself.
    https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/andrew-scheer-staying-on-leader-1.5330762

  14. So Kenney the Alberta Globalist is going to have a Panel to look at Fairness for Albertan’s inside Canada. Not even a strongly worded letter to BlackFace. A Panel to look at a panel and the guy driving the panel is a clueless idiot. Can’t make a decision until he talks it over with his mentor the Useless Harper. Probably have Parson Manning old Turkey Neck do a study on the study. Call in Joe Clark, Jason and wring your widdle hands, and stamp your widdle feet. Clown Act coming up. Get us to hell out you idiot. Probably called the Steer and the Steer said, well when I whip Trudeau I promise you! Shit for Brains. JUST NOT READY kicked you to the curb. Resign, head for the packing house already and take Harper with you The Floggings Will Continue Until Morale Improves.

  15. Wexit: A shoutout to our Prairie brothers from BC. The entire interior of BC voted CPC other than West Kootenay-Okanagan. The CPC candidate lost there because of the PPC vote. A UDI movement will have very significant support in both BC and Man.

    The critical point will be grassroots organization combined with leadership that will not be subverted by inevitable infiltration by eastern message bearers. The messaging out of Baystreet is obvious. TO thinks this can be managed. They control the media and have been very successful in limiting any discussion about actual conditions in the west. That will never change. The longer they can string out the existing angry the more likely they will be successful in stunting and nullifying this movement.

    If the direction of UDI is left solely in the hands of politicians it will fail. It will fail just as Reform failed.

  16. Just in case anyone doubts how out of touch and how little the east cares about the west I watched a professor of political science say the west should realize without the rest of Canada we would have no agricultural agreements with China.Is that the same country that won’t buy our canola,pork or beef?They have no clue!!!!!!

  17. Somebody mentioned yesterday, it might have been on these SDA boards, that Jason Kenney should create a Minister of Alberta Independence, to start exploring possible paths to independence. A good point.

    Remember the “firewall” controversy of years ago? That initiative entailed the Alberta government to take legal means to disengage from Canadian institutions. This entails ridding the RCMP and establishing an Alberta Provincial Police force; establishing an Alberta Pension Plan to replace Albertans contributing to the CPP; set up a separate Alberta personal income tax form, to replace having the federal government collecting Alberta’s provincial income taxes, among other initiatives. Beyond these things, the new Minister should start considering full blown separation.

    I was struck by the fact that the BQ elected 33 MPs, whereas there is no serious Alberta, or Saskatchewan, federal independence party. Why is it that Quebeckers can organize things, whereas Westerners haven’t even begun to organize at all? This, when the Trudeau administration has deliberately hurt Westerners and favoured Quebec. Ironic, isn’t it?

  18. Another liberal way of rigging an election,the CBC news channel which I don’t subscribe to ,was mysteriously a free channel up to the end of Election Day. More chance of spewing liberal crap through the liberals paid state propaganda channel

  20. Prime minister Gerald Butts has on twitter, I hope the Conservatives have learned their lesson. Nothing like Liberal arrogance.

    1. What “lesson” did he think they should be learning? What an idiot. His own party needs to learn a few lessons about how to keep Canada wealthy and unified. I suspect that this is not even on their radar. There will be a price to pay.

      1. I hope we’ve learned our lesson too. Next time we need to select a leader with some stones, which is all we need to stomp his Party, his Leader’s and his own head into the turf – if we’d had one this time, he’d be dusting-off his résumé as we speak.

        But it’ll be a few months. First his arrogant out-of-touch spendthrift Leader has to pi$$-off two minor Parties, the NDP and Bloc, to the point they wash their hands of him – which shouldn’t take him long; first time they find one of his fake eyebrows in their coffee it’ll be over. Meanwhile we need to rid ourselves of Andrew Who, otherwise he’ll offer to support the Libranos once the NDP and Bloc won’t anymore; I wonder if Max still wants the job?

        I give it 8 to 15 months. Just hope we can pull it together before AlSaskitoba leaves.

        1. I have to think back to Daddy. PET was won the 1972 election and we were back at the polls nearly 2 years later. (That was the first time I was able to vote and it was a proud moment for me when my ballot went into the box!)

          I don’t recall there being a non-confidence motion as such. I wouldn’t be surprised if PET deliberately provoked it. If he did, it paid off for him as he was returned to office with a majority, stretching out his term as long as possible before being required by law to call an election.

  21. GloBull Warming strikes again. Because the Propagandists won’t tell you. Snow covered England as far south as Wales and southern Ireland. Temps not seen since last Grant Solar Minimum in the 1800’s. EU will be getting snow and cold even in Spain and the Med. region. Wake up, you need fossil fuels Dummies. Or get a Greta Thingberg to keep you warm. Ha Ha Ha. Move into the Fruit Fly Pimp Suzuki’s big homes he has several. And start burning the furniture.
    https://electroverse.net/uk-challenges-all-time-low-temperature-records-from-the-1880s/

    1. oh good lord watcher I can tell its you without even checking the moniker.
      ‘start burning the furniture’. for a fun variation on this, watch the true story of an irishman
      by the name of Frank McCourt, ‘Angela’s Ashes’.
      apparently at one point they resorted to burning the wall studs for heat.
      ‘room? what room?’.

  22. Head Liner is Dr. Patrick Moore. OH My Old Gord Tulk is going to be in Red Deer for the Freedom Talk Nov. 15. Impressive Lineup. Gord is OK but way behind the times. He still thinks voting in RIGGED Federal Election against a stacked deck will work. GORD Alberta does not want in anymore, we been burned bad by the likes of Harper and the CONS. The West Wants Out.

  25. Gun control will be amongst the Lieberals 1st order of business that they will work on after disarming social media of “Fake News”
    It’s one of their signature election promises.
    They can point to it in case of a vote of non confidence and say. “See what we have done”
    To disarm law abiding Deplorables ( myself included ) as a form of suppression and psychological control leading to submission.
    Liberals BQ NDP and even some CPC (in secret) want it.
    It’s part of the UNs Agenda 21 and 2030 that Trudeau is fully in support of.

  26. So, what should the CPC do with it’s leader? It’s easy to make the case that he ran an uninspired campaign and that he lacks charisma. True on both accounts. But at the same time he raised the CPC seat count substantially.

    In the 2015 election the hated Harper wasn’t exactly wiped off the map. The CPC ended up with 99 seats. Today they have an additional 25. A substantial gain. The LPC lost it’s majority. The ndp lost almost half it’s caucus and the greens in an election where there is a ‘climate emergency’ gained one (1) seat. So on the face of it the CPC came out pretty well.

    Was it the CPC election to lose? In the Canadian system that statement is a stretch. In the History of the country only one incumbent first term majority government has been defeated. Bongo lost on all fronts except perhaps Ontario. He ‘won’ with 33% of the vote. A precipitious drop from 2015. Yes the libranos were damaged goods and bongo’s personal brand badly tattered but not sufficient apparently for his base to look elsewhere. Would a more aggressive campaign by the CPC resonated with voters? We’ll never know.

    I think the CPC will keep Sheer. An election could come at any time – I personally don’t think it will unless the libranos smell winning conditions. The ndp is broke and they just got their ass handed to them. The BQ is in the cat bird seat, why would they make an unforced error?

    Now to Max. He ran a vanity campaign. Garnered 300k votes country wide. That number alone is telling. It suggests there are few hard core right voters in this entire country. Will the PPC survive and grow? Maybe but their future is written in pencil. He should have stayed. With the loss of Lisa Raitt he’d have been 2-IC and been a powerful influence.

    Like many of you on this site I wish the CPC was more to the right. Unfortunately the country is progressive – as progressive as any in the world and moving further left. Conservatives form government about 25-30% of the time and it is usually a case of voters tossing out the libranos. It appears to me that if they play their cards right they might be in a position where the next election is theirs to lose. They need to distance themselves from the libranos by moving right….but not too far….it’s Canada after all.

    1. spot on ab, spot on.
      conservatives dont ‘win’ elections, lieberals LOSE them.
      see: kathleen wynnedfarm, joke lark, etc.
      it’s the lure of the free stuff.
      see: carbum tax, the ‘more back than you pay in’ thing.

    2. Simples – buy him a one-way ticket home, in the cheap seats. I’ll chip-in five bucks.

      Little Potato gave him SO. MUCH. ammunition – again, and again, and again – “I’m Prime Minister, I can break the law if I want!” (twice), “Yeah I fired Cabinet Ministers for the same thing I did; I remember it differently”, “I’m spending 4.2 billion taxpayer dollars on that pipeline, see? – I’m helping! No I’m not actually going to build it; we need to save the Earth!”, “I need a vacation – I think the Aga Khan’s private island! Or maybe India – I bet I could take LOTS of selfies!”, “I’m gonna’ give $10 million to a convicted terrorist!”, “I’m gonna’ give twelve million to my billionaire friend who owns Loblaws!”, “I’m gonna’ blow $50 million on a telethon so I can take a selfie with the star!”, “I’m gonna’ collude with SNC-Lavalin and demote the Minister of Justice because she won’t play ball – but hey, I’m a career-womyn’s BEST FRIEND!”, “I’m gonna’ promise the Press 600 million taxpayer dollars, in an election year – NO it’s not a bribe!!!” And on and on ad nauseam.

      Andrew used none of it. If he’d come out slugging, he could’ve showed Canada just what a shmuck they’d elected as their Prime Minister and how unfit he was to be in politics, much less Prime Minister – but not a d@mn word. Meanwhile Potato howled “HarperKenneyFord!!!” the whole election – the Press never took him to task for it, and neither did Andrew. A lot of people have expressed a sharpish sentiment, questioning whose side was he on? It was a tragic, utterly inexcusable waste of opportunity – and he’s lost any confidence a whole lot of us ever had in him. He doesn’t get the chance to disappoint us like that again.

      Goodbye, Mister Scheer.

      1. But at the same time he raised the CPC seat count substantially.

        TRUDEAU raised the CPC seat count substantially. All by himself.

    3. I concur with your observations but one.
      When Raitt rescued Lizzy May from her drunken rant at the press gala she lost a lot of credibility.

      1. No. She gained a lot of respect for rescuing May. Everything need not come from political cynicism.

      2. Well I think Raitt did a gallant thing there. She reached out across party lines on national tv. Saved a fool from further embarrassment and mercifully the rest of the country was not subject to any more of an over refreshed lizzard.

  28. How the CBC thinks. Unifor journalist explains today that Blackie could appoint the NDP MP in Alberta to cabinet to represent that province. Yeah, that would go over well. How Canadian voters think. Voters in Whitby toss out Lisa Raitt who led the battle investigation into the Big Chief Jody scandal in committees, for an empty headed celebrity athlete. Although I guess the athlete will be great for selfies with Blackie.

  29. How our media thinks. After giving lots of coverage to the Syrian restaurant owners, the son was charged with criminal offenses today.

  31. Yes elections have consequences. So do leadership conventions and party platforms.

    Running scared about losing your assault rifles doesn’t entitle you to my vote.

    The crackpots want to pin the loss of 6 seats on the 1.5% Bernier deplorables voting PPC. As if they are entitled to peoples votes.

    Voters & eligible non-voters didn’t buy all the hype about the country becoming a dictatorship under Trudeau. Maybe it’s an assault rifle thingy with the crackpots.

    33% of eligible voters didn’t show up. That’s up 2% from 2015 despite all the hype about Trudeau’s dictatorship.

    75% of the non-voters believe there is no point voting. The majority of them are right of center but they couldn’t bring themselves to vote CPC.

    This election the Cons managed to pick up a meager 500,000 more votes n vs. 2015 out of 1.3 million more eligible voters in 2019.

    After this election, the CPC will be moving the goal posts further left again. The CINOs gave then the green light.
    And idiot tools cheer that the last conservative voice on the political front to oppose the Marxist narrative has been silenced.

    Next election, the number conservative no-shows will be up again.

  33. Blackie gave his first press conference since the election. Great shots on his CBC of him walking to the event while posing for selfies with his adoring Ottawa fans. He ranted during the Q & A that his main emphasis will be global warming scams. He also promised more for Quebec and indians, He mentioned that he talked to the muslim socialist mayor of Calgary on what Alberta wants. And Gerald Butts hasn’t picked his cabinet yet.

  34. Blackie stated during his press conference that he would not form an alliance either officially or unofficially with other parties. I don’t need no stinkin other parties to rule Canada, I’m a Trudeau.

    1. Hmmm. Hadn’t counted-on Sockpuppet to throw it all away before he’s even cleared the starting blocks; maybe he really does think he actually won. With his ‘tood at the helm, this could be the shortest Minority government in history.

      Would you call that “own-goal”, or “own-throat”?

      1. I don’t recall if Daddy went it alone during his early-’70s minority government. In less than 2 years, though, we had ourselves another election.

  35. Bongo’s is a solid spot. He doesn’t have an outright majority but he has a lot of options.

    He can play the parties off against each other and still achieve his goals. There will be things that all parties will be able to support. The LPC backed Harper on certain things during his minority years.

    Where the libranos are vulnerable is at committee. They wont have majorities. They wont be able to just stonewall like they did on the Justice committee over SNC.

    I think he will have a pretty easy time of it unless something unexpected happens or he make an unforced error.

  36. The CBC at their studios in Toronto now not only think the mayor of Calgary would be a great person to represent Alberta in Ottawa, but former premier Notley would be a good choice as well. Well, Toronto controls the Canadian parliament now, so I guess we have to take whatever they decide.
