  1. Yes. It seems to be:

    1. Screw the Socreds—or whatever the rednecks call themselves these days. They have nowhere to go anyway.

    2. Calgary hockey moms who don’t know how good they have it thrust you into office. Tell them what they want to hear and you’ll be on the gravy train for life.

    All this rant from a Harper chief of staff does is cement my belief that President Steve was bogus opposition—as if his support of a pipeline to China wasn’t proof enough.

  2. Why are you so hell bent on vaccinations when there have been serious side effects! Are you suggesting we HAVE to take the vaccine? Where is MY Freedom of Choice?
    If you had suggested hydroxi or invermectin available to everyone in packet form ( as 3rd world India did) people that were getting sick could take it in their own homes and recover – not wait for Doctor appointment or go to Emergency at the last moment,
    Just another would be health “expert” advice.

  3. No one reminds you of the soul-destroying reality of politics better tan a veteran spin doctor. Politics today, being the schoolyard battle for the hearts and minds of the mindless mushy middle.

  4. I like very much his accent on the positive. Just remember, Martin Luther King’s famous speech was “I have a dream…”, it was NOT “I have a nightmare…”.
    And yes, do not give free space to the NDP, do not mention them in speeches. Have a positive vision for the province. I live in Saskatchewan, and I think that Alberta and Saskatchewan should follow the lead of Quebec, have your own provincial police, have your own control over employment and immigration, have your own pension plans and collect your own taxes and you, as provinces remit to the Federal government.

    1. Agree, Big Momma, that we need to follow Québec’s lead where possible. However, it is not true that Québec collects all the taxes and passes some on to the feds. Companies in Québec have two make two remittances: one to Ottawa for the federal income tax collected from employees as well as reduced EI premiums, and one to Québec for provincial income tax, QPP, and PPIP premiums.

  5. I stopped reading at Control the agenda.
    When are we going to get politicians out of Health Care??

    I agree with Hosed in AB.

    1. Mea Culpa…I need to calm down. I did RTWT

      This is a start:
      *The premier and ministers should play a supporting role, not a leading role, in public communication. Again, the public needs to hear more from health professionals and less from politicians. You can regain public confidence if it is clear you are listening to the people the public trusts — which right now is not you. *

      But they are still stuck on Stay at home…phffft.

  6. Boessenkool hates the base of the Tory party. Taking advice from guys like this is what has gotten Kenney into trouble in the first place. This is the last guy the UCP should be paying attention to but, sadly, most of the tall foreheads in Edmonton also hate the base, think we’re idiots and/or insane and want nothing to do with us.
    There was a twitter guy who posted about the Republicans something along the lines of, “They are happy to serve the customers they wish they had but not the customers they actually have”. Same is true of the “conservative” parties in Canada.

  7. This is a letter to his friend Jason Kenney.

    I know we don’t do politics here but KB just laid out what it is that the UCP needs to do or it will be the ndp. KB nails it. Will Kenney take the advice? He should.

  8. Sure explains Harpers collapse.
    This clown was his advisor?
    No wonder Harper lost all will to resist the kleptocracy.
    The clown claims to be a conservative,yet loses no opportunity to sneer at conservative voters.
    I admit I did love the praise of that brilliant journalist Paul Wells,I will definitely look to Mr Boessenkool for advice on how to destroy a populous party.
    The current situation is we have a glaring disconnect between the governed and those attempting to rule.
    And this idiot recommends?
    We drive bigger wedges..
    We need a new country.

  9. How much economic diversification could occur if the people/ businesses of Alberta were not forced to send Billions in wealth to Ottawa every year? How many child care spaces could be created with just some of the wealth taken by Ottawa?

    The answer is simple, but the present UCP leadership will do everything, including purposely loosing an election, to ensure that the answer remains as mysterious and elusive as ever.

  10. Here’s the Boessenkool advice: abdicate your responsibilities and turn them over to unelected bureaucrats.

    News flash! They’ve already done that. They have weaponized the AHS bureaucracy who now have the power to surveil and fine without due process.

    The MLAs that traveled did nothing illegal nor unethical. I’m glad they did it. What it did was expose that the government itself does not believe this flu is a thing.

    So if Kenney wants to change the channel all he has to do is end the lock down. If he wants his popularity to rise, do the right thing. If he wants people to rally around him, tell the truth. It’s not complicated. Otherwise Mr. KB will be completely wrong about a 2 party political climate. Wexit will be a real force.

  11. Couldn’t get past the cbc thing and get that out of my mind so didn’t read the article. The best thing Harper and company did was to publish the Firewall letter!
    Too bad they didn’t read it and implement it or at least implement parts of it.

    Just thinkin’ here, maybe Harper and co. didn’t even write it. As I said, just thinkin’

  12. Advice to new dickhead – short version: do a better job of keeping up appearances.

  13. A CBC link, so you know it’s not going to be anything that conservatives will agree with.

  14. Mostly pretty good advice. KB mentions that anti-Ottawa ‘region war’ is increasingly just alienating the UCP from Calgary suburbs and it’s probably true. It doesn’t have to be this way: just get the job ie leaving CPP, RCMP, EI done with minimal or no hot air or demagoguery. More steak little sizzle.

    Calgary is indeed the center of Alberta. Honestly…Calgary is Alberta.

  17. I didn’t realize this was a parody until almost the very end. “brilliant journalist Paul Wells” — I blew a swig of beer out my nose at that one.
