Rex wonders why O’Toole and Conservative MPs are not outraged at Trudeau’s war on Alberta.
And Dear Leader’s CBC is excited that the fake parliament is finally doing something important.

It doesn’t help that Alberta’s two largest cities elected communist mayors, and associated councils, who would gladly subvert this province.
“…if oil and gas were Quebec’s main industry, defending it, promoting it and declaring it as being in Canada’s national interest would be sacramental imperatives….. If oil were in Quebec, it would be a law that people have to bathe in it before going outdoors. Politicians would bring thuribles (incense containers) to swing and spread holy odours before every oil rig. They would genuflect at every Esso sign, and kiss the gas pump at every rise in price.”
Ya gotta love Rex Murphy.
Trudeau was out partying when his economics classes came to attending.
One thing that Trudeau is totally hypocritical about is how much of a ‘carbon footprint’ he has amassed since taking office of Trudeauland which he is imposing into his future dreams of a different reality.
No clue on reality or any type of common sense.
Too many brain cells burned partying I guess.
What brain?
That is right BA, the fool never had one to begin with.
But what will Justin do now that Maine, of all places, has failed to recognise Quebec’s divine right to make inflated amounts of money for its energy?
Seriously guys, all rail lines go through Alberta. How much excrement must Albertans volunteer to eat before they get a belly full? If the politicians won’t act, will the people defend their honor and province?
It sure would be nice to see Albertans do more than whine about shit.
As I’m sure Jordan Peterson would agree, my Albertan friends and family have a shit-ton of cleaning in their own ‘bedroom’ to do before lecturing other provinces that they know best about standing up for rights and freedoms.
As BA points out above, it doesn’t seem to matter what province you live in now, the ‘ideology wars’ have morphed primarily into a rural vs urban battle. Edmonton has been heavily leftarded for decades, it breaks my heart to watch Calgarians obliviously follow suit.
CO
This what you get from a Lazy disinterested voting populace comprised mostly of the 18 – 55 year olds with an iPhone firmly planted up their collective Asses, more interested in the latest BS on TikTok or Instagram…as they ignore the abuse.
I truly wish my patents had chosen the USA to emigrate to rather than this chickenshit outfit of 38 million mewling wankers…
Steakman, I straddled the border all my life with family and interests in both countries and I somehow wound up in the wrong country. While America has it’s share of stupid communists there are states like Florida, my favorite, where there are more sane than insane people.
It is a sad circumstance we find ourselves in, with a flu virus being the impetus for tyranny and the stupid Canadians just cannot see it.
” ….the ‘ideology wars’ have morphed primarily into a rural vs urban battle.”
Aye. As I’ve been saying for years. But rural Canada is either (a) too stupid to see it, (b) too chicken-shit to do anything about it, or (c) benefiting (temporarily) from the status quo by feeding on tax-dollars in one way or another.
“How much excrement must Albertans volunteer to eat before they get a belly full?”
Exactly!
The answer, if course, is: “Endless amounts forever.” Which makes them no different than their eastern brethren.
Jamie, I have said this before, Alberta has had their population diluted by welfare immigrants, eastern liberals, and federal stupidity. The people that were Alberta are sadly now a minority without power. The Canadian socialist malaise now controls the politics of the province and I do not see how this can be changed short of a civil war.
“The” pan-Canadian problem is urbanization of the population. It produces a helpless, dependent majority that will vote for ever-more arse wiping. And that holds true in Calgary, Edmonton, or Trawna.
Only Indigenous peoplekind can block rail lines or any other public passageway they wish.
We need a Conservative leader who has the guts to switch it up and run as a Conservative instead of a half-assed Liberal. Conservatives really have no home at this point, every election it seems their leaders are running scared and get caught up in the same old Liberal/media traps.
Which begs the question…. Is a new CPC leader with actual conservative bona fides even enough to change the direction of this Lib #2 party?
Much like in the US, we are really facing the “Uniparty”, I believe choice is now mostly an illusion.
We better shed this addiction(at least temporarily) to partisan identity and unite with all of our fellow unwoke(the woke are beyond redemption) peons before establishment elites crush us all entirely. This is a class war! Left/right, straight/gay, black/white, pro-trans/sane, pro-vax mandate/anti-vax mandate, etc… they are all false flags and are insidiously crafted and manipulated to keep us at each other’s throats instead of at theirs.
Jamie… I think your reply above could have used a (d) all of the above.
The “Natural” leader of the conservatives is Maxime Bernier. As the future unfolds, everyone can see that.
Albertans seem happily willing to tolerate endless abuse. It is puzzling.
Because your average wimpified Albertan would claim that resisting is “not who we are”.
Quite sad.
Or at least that what they are told to believe about themselves.
We can all work for the govt.
I have posted this before and will post again – Alberta and Saskatchewan joined Confederation in 1905 – 116 years ago. What has the past century plus done for Alberta and Saskatchewan? I am now 70 but I used to believe in Canada, until I realized that Canada did not believe in the West. Long past time to separate.
Erin O’Foole: the pragmatic, centrist, go-getter leader… who meekly acquieces to Liberal polities and never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity. How long do we have to wait to get rid of this empty suit?
“How long do we have to wait to get rid of this empty suit?”
Not that long. Just till he’s replaced by someone with at least equal cowardice.
That’s the way it is. Liberals need a turdo – Conservatives love their no’tools.
Why bother getting rid of him, he is speaking for Alberta. Alberta has demonstrated they are milquetoast sheep, waiting to be shorn, and they barely even bleat.
Yeah, I say leave O’Toole be. There is no more honest representation of what the modern CPC has reduced itself to than to leave that Shitcon as their public face.
As I questioned above, I believe the CPC is too far gone for any leader to be able to cure it’s woke, progressive, cancerous core. To my mind, it should be renamed the SPC… the Shitcon Party of Canada… because power brokers will never, ever cede control of it back to ‘the little guy’, ever again.
We were such fools to ‘trade away’ the Reform Party for more of this corrupted Eastern Party shit. Sigh.
Don Martin, a center-left pundit, asks whether or not the Bong loves Canada:
https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/don-martin-does-trudeau-love-all-of-canada-that-s-a-good-question-now-1.5650802
By center left if you mean bought and paid for hack, I concur.
Yup. Mr. Martin was born and raised in Alberta, but moved to Ottawa where the media power (and big bucks) lie. It’s like Mr. Smith going to Washington, and becoming Washington.
I flushed a turd the other day that looked remarkably similar to Mr. Martin, the spitting image, although the turd seemed much smarter and definitely had more integrity then Mr. Martin. As far as shit spewing turd nuggets go, Mr. Martin is one of the most authentic.
Alberta may be past the point of no return. Less than 2 months ago, when Westerners had the perfect opportunity to send a clear message to Ottawa, only 35,000 of them voted for the Maverick Party. So Western autonomy/separation in any real-world electoral sense is effectively dead.
Then, as BA pointed out, Calgarians and Edmontonians elected leftist mayors and councils more concerned about fighting the “climate emergency” than standing up for Alberta’s vital economic interests. Trans Canada Pipelines of Calgary transforming itself into TC Pipelines of Denver is only the beginning of the energy exodus to come, except now the anti-oil-and-gas feds will be joined by homegrown Alberta politicians in cheering on said exodus.
And 38% of Albertans (and a majority of Edmontonians) voted against renegotiating Equalization in the referendum. Not that these negotiations will go anywhere, or even happen at all, but the fact that *any* Albertan voted against this measure, much less 38% of them, is appalling. “Hi I’m from Alberta and I enjoy being economically raped by the rest of the country” should replace “Fortis et Liber” as the provincial slogan.
It’s all very depressing, to say the least.
only 35,000 of them voted for the Maverick Party
Part of the reason being that the MP didn’t run candidates in every riding. The best I could do in mine was PPC, not that it mattered. The Dipper incumbent was swept back into office but, since I live in Rotten Rachel’s provincial riding, I’m not surprised.
The NDP could run a dead donkey as a candidate, and it would win hands down, so long as it’s commie über alles.
Yes, I voted PPC as no maverick candidate was available in my riding.
No sure voting really matters anymore. No matter who one votes for, the same government still gets in.
“Part of the reason being that the MP didn’t run candidates in every riding.”
This. No MP candidate in our riding, either. For the first time in over 40 years I literally had no one to vote for.
Why didn’t you run?
Jimmy, you ask a good question.
By the time I found out there wasn’t a candidate, that door had already closed. The election had been announced, I’d passed through a few other electoral districts, viewed MP posters for those ED’s, hadn’t seen any for ours. Went online, couldn’t find anybody listed. Gave head office a call, sorry, no MP candidate for you!
Would I submit my name for candidacy in the future? Dunno. I’m not sure most are receptive to my candor. I tend to be pretty blunt & direct. Folks these days seem to want mollycoddling, have smoke blown up their skirts and that just ain’t my style.
The Mavs only ran in 29 ridings out of 107 in Western Canada, including the territories. The failure not to run in more ridings is on them.
But they averaged only 1200 votes per riding, out of about 75,000 eligible voters per riding. So that failure is on Westerners who instead chose to vote for Eastern-based parties, or not vote at all.
I guess hope springs eternal, so we’ll see how the Wildrose Independence Party does provincially, but I’m not holding my breath. They’re currently polling at only 10% and are forecast to not win any seats.
Trans Canada Pipelines of Calgary transforming itself into TC Pipelines of Denver is only the beginning of the energy exodus to come, except now the anti-oil-and-gas feds will be joined by homegrown Alberta politicians in cheering on said exodus.
Encana did something similar a few years ago and re-named itself Ovintiv.
Trudeau has ruined Canada ! We in the WEST ( at least most of us) knew this would happen!!!!!
There is no choice ,THE SEPARATION OF SASKATCHEWAN AND ALBERTA must proceed immediately ! Premier Moe and Kenny must ask for the CLARITY ACT to be invoked !!
Climate change is bullshit and Canada is done!
Anthropogenic Climate change is bullshit!———Real climate change has of course happened since the beginning of the earth’s existence!
Canadians are the stupidest folks in the universe.
Cucknada needs to burn in hell
Turn the fucking taps off to Quebec. No oil, natural gas or propane. Remember the CN Railway strike 2 years ago. 2 weeks with no propane and Quebec starts to panic. Grow some balls Kenney and Moe.
Grow some balls Kenney and Moe.
I’m sure that Kenney’s are accounted for by Deena and Rachel, assuming he had any in the first place.
He was emasculated long before he was a Fed.
The time for talking is over. The government of Canada and Quebec need to see the power Sask and Alberta have. Pass a law that prohibits the export of fuels to Quebec. I want to see Trudeau and That Little frenchy environment Minister go nuts.
DJ
You nailed it!
“Pass a law”
lol yeah, that should work.
Who is going to write this legislation and then get the votes to pass it?
(applause)
Would it kill an Canadian conservative to see what the Republicans did this week and say, “hey, you mean you can run on a conservative platform and actually get elected?”
Our major parties are Red, Light Red, and Very Red, with one media-puffed Green.
I felt a weight lifted off my shoulders when I voted for Max, let me tell you. None of what unfortunately follows in Canada can be blamed on us.
So where’s the self described great defender of Alberta? That cute as a button, dimpled lioness of Conservative terror and bane of all Canadian Liberals, Michelle Rempel?
Right. Nowhere.
If you have a friend like Rempel why would you need enemies?
We the people of the west can help Trudeau reach his goal of lowering Canada’s CO2 emissions. With Saskatchewan, Alberta, the interior and northern B.C. As a new country Canada’s consumption of fuel would fall. We could even draw the new borders along the lines laid out in the last few elections. By separating the conservative riding from Canada, Trudeau would finally have the majority he craves in what remains of Canada. We the people of the west would be able to develop our own country. We would be free of the tyranny of Quebec and Ontario. Ontario and Quebec would be free to tax themselves into oblivion. They can live with out heat and food though out the loving embrace of the Canadian winter.
Sir, you have found the solution. And Commie arseholes in the cities can flee the coming western “Gilead” (chuckle) to the GTA, Vancouver, Montreal or – check the election map – Nunavut. Lots of room for newcomers. 🙂
It’s time to dust off the Clarity Act.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarity_Act
Discuss it publicly and put it to a vote. It doesn’t matter if you win this time. There will be other times to follow.
What is important is the people of Alberta are discussing their future and we have a mechanism to negotiate Albertan values.
The Clarity Act will suck the public discourse out of Ottawa and centre it in Alberta.
The Maverick Party knows what to do.
The “Thing” about Trudeau’s hard cap on the Canadian Oil & Gas industry is the implicit “hard cap” on the Canadian banking sector. Those two sectors are tied at the hip. They both go down.
Where the Canadian banking sector goes, Bay Street goes. The Canadian banking sector will be outsized for the reduced stature of the “new canada” Trudeau envisions.
O’Toole is likely still consulting with his zit-faced poly-sci grads on strategy. Given that he agrees with the Spawn’s justification for capping production levels, he knows the media, that he has recently fellated in a failed attempt at becoming a Liberal light government, will more than hold him to his “me too” strategic brilliance. I guess all those “concerned” Albertans and close neighbours who voted for O’Toole instead of Max will have to speak for themselves as their representatives in parliament are essentially complicit with our new upstanding Minister of Environment. With leaders like these is it any wonder why the epistemological mush of “conservatism” (fatally compromised libertarianism) is a loser’s game.
“,,,zit-faced poly-sci grads…”,
John, your phrase made my day. Well done.
” …. wonders why O’Toole and Conservative MPs are not outraged …. ”
First, O’Toole is no conservative, in no way. no how. He in fact is a “Liberal socialist” that could not compete with the idiot in charge for the so called “Liberal” leader, so the next best chance was to pull wool over the apparatchiks of the so called “Conservative” party and see it that works. It did.
So now the actual conservatives are in the out position with no chance until there is an actual conservative party of this country.
There are too many conservatives that believe that they can’t succeed in elections if they don’t bend over and take it from the climate scientologists, from the medical fascism, from race hustlers, from LGBXYZ hustlers and other various and sundry low life.
Conservatives running on conservative principles would win hands down.
Facts of life are conservative.
Even socialists/fascists, communists and all other ‘ists do actually know that.
Since the actual conservatives don’t get the mouthpiece the ‘ists will have the podium.
The Canadian public takes some soma and everything else is besides the point.
There is also the daily hour of hate of conservatives by the media cartel.
Just check your local paper.
So, then you have that.
OUTSTANDING summary Lev. I especially love “Facts of life are conservative.” Spot on and yes, they do know it.
Bearing that in mind, the true horror is that the ONLY possible explanation for their continuing to push their many-tentacled agenda is that they want to exterminate billions of human beings. I’ve tried again and again to convince myself it must be that they’re just afflicted with misguided “compassion,” but it’s impossible. There is no naivete whatsoever in their worldview. They know what the results will be because much as we might want to believe it, they aren’t actually retarded – just consumed with hatred for humanity.
In Rex’s piece, the pic of dear leader and the new eco-freak environment minister: if Trudeau wasn’t nearby I’d love to punch out Guilbeault’s shifty face. LOL.
Thanks Rex for nailing it! If Quebec had oil Trudeau would support it 100%! I have a feeling this may become my VIMY!
Another great column from Rex but everywhere Rex says ‘Alberta’, we need to substitute ‘Alberta, Saskatchewan and Newfoundland’.
Good point!
