  1. I’d have to agree with the headline. Progress Alberta will probably attack groups like Rebel News once again, given an opportunity.

  2. Conservatives still think it’s honourable to lose as long as we’re playing by the rules the commies have made for us (rules that they of course dont follow themselves). Fool me once….

    Going off on a tangent: Kenney (if he was actually conservative) would be gutting the civil service right now and cleaning out all the ndp. He should be focused like a laser on making Alberta a severely hostile environment for commies and any other parasites in this province. Lots of other social welfare holes in canada for them to inhabit.

    1. Kenny can KMA! He was useful getting rid of commie Notley, but the Sible Serpents are still not thinned enough in my books. Bare knuckles Kenny, or go back to Ontari-ari-fairy-oh. Too much talk and squat on action.

  3. When will we on the Right learn from our mistakes?
    Andrew Breitbart knew what’s at stake. #WAR

    1. Classic game theory. You try to modify your opponent’s behavior by offering an olive branch. If they reject it, then you must administer punishment. Eventually they may see the light.

    1. Walking around the block I used to encounter a skunk. We reached an unspoken agreement, I walked on my side of the road, he walked on his side, and we left each other alone. Try making an arrangement with a leftist like that.

  4. So, I was interested in viewing Progress Alberta’s other tweets and it seems like I am blocked from viewing them. How bizarre. I had not even heard of them before. Why would they block me? These really are fascist tactics. The left is going down that road very quickly.

    1. They create block lists based on who follows who. You follow someone unacceptable and they don’t want you.
      The left.

    1. That sort of “standing on principle” is why Trump is POTUS. The feckless Republican Party exuded nobility, decorum, and the Marquis of Queensbury conduct. While the Democrats were kicking them in the nutsac and slugging the back of their heads. Fire must be used to fight fire … literally. Backfires must be set

      1. The wise ruler does unto leftists what they would do unto decent people, and does it first:

        1. Relieve them of their power and ill-gotten wealth.

        2. Haul them off to prisons hundreds of miles from anywhere.

        3. See to it they don’t return alive.

        4. Re-distribute their wealth among their former victims as compensation for their torments.

        1. aka … a nice start. 😉

          I know, that’s the punchline of a “Lawyer joke” … but since these subversives are all Lawyers … well … it fits.

  5. Yes, he knew better. He even said that he did. But they still swallowed the bait, hook, line, and sinker.
    Go get them, Ezra! You already succeeded 50% by exposing the ungrateful slimeballs.
    I hope that you do not just let them stagger away with a purple eye, but you drive them into the ditch and leave them under a foot of clay.
    The biggest mistake the freedom-loving, decent people make is leaving alive the rest. That, when not reciprocated, becomes scary. Trust me, Canadians, you do not want to reach that stage even though your train is speeding up in that direction.

  6. Kate, it’s called “mercy” on Ezra Levant’s part, not “pleasing”.

    He was being merciful towards his “enemies”.

    This is one of the basic principles that God laid out in the Bible.

    1. Except that part where he scattered the money changers tables outside the Temple. For defiling the Temple. These people are defiling the Temple of governance and lawful order. They need to be scattered and shooed away.

      1. They need to be scattered and shooed away! Kenji, don’t you mean booted away, preferably with a size 13 steel toed, sole studded, extra weight added BOOT!

  7. Ezra is one of the good guys but being a totally loyal or consistent supporter of his can be expensive as it inevitably involves a lot of work for lawyers. I have supported him but am neither loyal nor consistent.

  8. Ezra displayed a remarkable level of naivety on this one, must be getting sentimental in his old age, for times past when a good deed was rewarded by gratitude if nothing else.

    Btw, was everyone here aware of this factoid from Jason Kenney’s background, I wasn’t: “He left university without graduating to begin work for the Saskatchewan Liberal Party.[10] He was “very involved in the young Liberals” as a young man, and in 1988 served as executive assistant to Ralph Goodale, who at the time was leader of the party.”

    And this is the guy some here believed would lead Alberta to a UDI?

    1. I’m not so sure Don, Ezra is a smart fella, my suspicion is that he entered into this, knowing that they would eventually screw him over, upon which he could use this as an opportunity to point out how bad these people are, and, use it as a fundraising oppo.
      He’s a strategy guy, I think he’s posturing the “poor me” thing.

      1. Dan, Ezra could have helped scheep in stead, and andy 2% would have sicked Warnuts kantsella on him!

  9. He knew they would do something.
    Finally someone on the right in Canada who plays the left like a fiddle.

  10. Hey OldBruin! Speaking of Enemy “teams” WTH!? I took a beating today in my Fantasy Premiere League! And I captained Alexander-Arnold … who got his dik kicked in the dirt today? Exhausting schedule is showing I guess. Oh well.

  11. I suspect that Ezra assisted the commies merely to avoid setting a precedent that would be turned on Rebel and others on the right.

    Typical leftist tactic, create a group of your most loathsome followers so that nobody on the other side complains when you impose rules on them, impose excessive and loathsome rules on these unsympathetic figures, use that as precedent to impose those same rules on all your opponents. Make sure that the rules are not applied equally or consistently so that everybody is afraid to speak up about anything lest it draw attention and oppression.

    Best thing going forward is for every statement by Progress Alberta to be followed by people pointing out they are hypocritical two faced backstabbers who without their double standards would have none at all.
