Just two years after that election — the Conservatives have pulled a 180-degree turn. Inside the Conservative platform are the words “price on carbon.” If you’re not familiar with the term, it’s support for a carbon tax.
… all over again.
It was nothing to cheer about. Still, cheers erupted when the resolution to protect parental rights and permit talk therapy for gender-confused children was shot down.
No, it wasn’t a gathering of the extreme leftist Liberals or NDP majority who are obsessed with aggressively pushing pro-transgender narratives on kids.
It was members of the Conservative Party of Canada (CPC). Heretics. Conservatives in name only supporting parents going to jail for seeking counsel for their gender dysphoria kids. Cowards fearful of appearing “divisive” and losing votes who, according to the disgusted reaction on social media, did just that. Betrayers who jumped into bed with the crazed Left.
Half of the more than 2,500 delegates at the AGM in Calgary on Saturday transitioned from supporting core conservative values to embracing left-wing ideology that’s harming children on a devastating, often irreparable grand scale.
If Poilievre doesn’t throw this under the bus before the sun goes down, it’s over.
ANOTHER GREAT REASON AMONG MANY TO HAVE OUR OWN INDEPENDENT ALBERTA……..free us from OTTAWA once and for all…………
Add Saskatchewan to that and amen brother!
When you choose the lesser of the two evils you have chosen evil.
That’s a problem the world over.
In a just world, anyone who advocated or acted upon children in this way would be hanged, drawn and quartered.
They are nothing less than monsters.
Overton window ! ……. Doug Ford is your example of this
Canada is a big country the ones cheering can go to metro Toronto, just end this insanity and keep the momentum for a west that does not answer to Ottawa
Are you really shocked, Kate? I hope not because there never has been much light between the CPC and Libs when it comes to appeasing Eastern Canada.
As well, from a relative who was a voting delegate, there were “issues” with the automated voting system. It took them three tries to get an outcome on this vote. It appeared that there were the usual shenanigans with all the “social” issue votes. Many delegates were very, very upset. The voting system seemed to work fine for the other votes.
The most useless segment of social strata, the social Scientologists are firmly in control of he so called “Conservative” party.
Who can you vote for?
These idiots do not recognize that they and the extremists of the so called “Liberal” and the En Dee Pee are the same.
It must be that the money baggers are on the side of the extremists.
Well, it seems that the country has to, of necessity, hit the bottom before things get better.
When they begged for money, told them that they support the so called “Liberals” giving money to the mass media cartel, they will get none until I hear different.
Never heard from them since.
CUCKSERVATIVES = bible pounders!
Your “conservative” party is really starting to show its ugly face, isn’t it?
RINOs in the US went out of there way to present themselves as ‘classic liberal’ democrat lite after the fall of the Bushs, and during the reign of St. Obama the pious, remember?.. Nobody got off the couch to vote for them. Trump was the answer to the Jeb!, McCain, Romney problem.. They were tired of the useless congressional do-nothings like Tammy fay Boehner, and prettyboy Ryan as well, remember? Trump was just a symptom of a much larger problem for the establishment RINOs back in 2016.. a symptom that most of them ignored as a stunt.. a novelty.. a fleeting flash in the pan.. It will be interesting to see what ‘symptoms’ the establishment ‘conservatives’ in Canada develop while they seek to.. rebrand ..themselves as everything their base loathes and detests.. A resistance to what is happening in Ottawa will start at the grass roots, likely when AB and SK fail to separate from the dead weight pulling them under.
Well said, The Blind Squirrel.
Donald J. Trump is a special man, a special leader, a once in a century phenomenon.
And therein lies the trouble with the Alberta Separation movement. We don’t have a leader.
Someone of note, someone who channels and embodies the lightning that is surging.
See my comment to Rizwan above. You’re not responding to someone who particularly cares for any political stripe.
I am well aware of the Republican party of the U.S. (who were NOT ‘classical liberal’, lite or otherwise; nor were they ‘Bible thumpers’ as some believe — unless we count false prophets and dissemblers).
And the problem went far further back than 2016, but I will grant that my President is indeed a symptom, an outcome, of their corruption — a consequence, perhaps.
I hope for your sakes that you do create a valid resistance. We’ll have to see what happens.
This reply will likely be well buried and forgotten, but a couple of things I wanted to respond to, in the off chance you opt to revisit old content.
>Oz:
Trump was born out of frustration and abuse. The uniparty ‘conservatives’ often took their base for granted. They would smugly chastise their base when called out on their unwillingness to upset the applecart.. “This is how we retain power! If we don’t play by the (D) rule set, we’ll alienate the independents.. do you want these nutjobs in our place?! We stand firm on our principles!”, and all that other feel good horseshit. The Tea Party was the first message sent to the establishment (R)s.. they didn’t listen, but corrupted some of the weaker ones, and smeared the rest as radicals and racists with the help of the Obama regime. It was their first mistake, as it was a real, grassroots movement.. Conservative voters could no longer discern any difference between weak-kneed (R), folding on every (D) challenge, and a (D) shadow governance, with the (R)s as controlled opposition. When the base spoke up to question them, $hills and (D) moles such as Kristol, Reich, Cupp, that sh!tweasel Max Boot.. and countless other bandwagon RINOs said “it’s okay.. go back to sleep.. we got this”.. They were wrong! So wrong. Trump didn’t just come along, he was placed. (D) minions exploited open primaries to position Trump against $hillary, as they thought she would crush him.. The media, especially CNN gave him millions worth of free air time to present him as a novelty.. a kook to disuade independents.. It was the worst own-goal in modern politics, because his message resonated not only within the disaffected base, but beyond.. independents, and even some centrist liberals (blue-dogs).. you know what happened next.. It scared the hell out of the uniparty, and wiped the smug off of their faces in a hurry.. When AB and SK fail their independence bid (I’m so sorry, but I believe it will.. way too much at stake for Ottawa to let their meal-ticket just walk out the door, leaving them holding the bag, with the high probability of it becoming American some time later), it will spark the powder keg, and their Trump will be born. Honestly, I may be the only one, but I would like to hear J. Peterson’s take on such a scenerio
>unknown jane:
It wasn’t my intent to assign you any political stripe, but to remind that conservatives in the US were not long ago right where the Canadian ‘right’ are today.. I feel for them, because I’ve seen this kind and level of frustration before.
The Blind Squirrel, I like you, but paragraph breaks are your friend.
I don’t read walls of screed; it hurts my eyes. I’m an old man.
Admittedly I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around this.
I haven’t been this disappointed since Brian Mulroney was busted for accepting brown paper bags of cash.
I’ll take a pause and wait for someone to say “Hold it!!!!!There’s been a mistake”
In the past, I thought that being a single issue voter was a bad thing, people make an outlandish claim and vote against 90% of the goodness a party may support. It seems in the past decade, that single issue has grown to be many issues including everything that happened in Canada as a result of covid, and then impacted all aspects of our lives with an additional $trillion debt, and today from Holly Doan, the news that the covid files will be hidden from public for 15 years, as if there was something there which would impact the #Libranos or their provincial Conservative counterparts…. or our “faith in the gov’t healthcare system”
The problem remains though, all the other parties in Canada are (much) worse except for the PPC and if they had an uptick in support, it guarantees that the #Libranos will govern forever.
and that leaves us in Alberta with separation on everyone’s mind. I don’t know of polling that only covers Albertan’s opinions on the gender idiocy.
Nothing short of a complete reset is looking like the way out, another living scene from the movie Network with Howard Beale screaming “I’m as mad as hell and not going to take it anymore”
Canada, It’s over.
I’m told that the one-child policy in China produced a lot of single-issue voters.
China has voters?
If they know what’s good for them.
In fairness, whatever policy the Turd presented, O’Stoole declared, “Me too! Times two.” O’Stoole was also still at the helm when the CINOs gave the Lieberals the unanimous “YEA” vote on making conversion therapy a capital criminal offence.
PP was a member at that time. Leslyn Lewis, however was not. I would have preferred her as party leader over PP as she seems to be, so far, the only one will balls. Lewis was the only conservative to personally go out and support the Freedom Convoy. PP tipped his hand when he condemned Lewis and two others for meeting with Christine Anderson.
Of party leaders, Maxime Bernier is only one that doesn’t suffer from TDS.
” Lewis was the only conservative to personally go out and support the Freedom Convoy. PP tipped his hand when he condemned Lewis and two others for meeting with Christine Anderson.”
Well said. That, his support for the Quebec dairy cartel, voting to accuse all Canadians of genocide, allowing the term ‘Islamophobia’ to be enshrined in law, playing along with the climate change scam, etc. Not a conservative at all, just another Liberal Lite ‘progressive’.
“Of party leaders, Maxime Bernier is only one that doesn’t suffer from TDS.”
How sad is that? He still gets my vote, and will continue to get it until/unless a reasonable alternative comes along. I refuse to vote for people who don’t share my values and I will not be frightened into voting CPC “so the Liberals don’t get back in”.

But…but…but… The Dead Rat assures me that the Conservatives are center right!!!
“ If Poilievre doesn’t throw this under the bus before the sun goes down, it’s over.”
I hate to break it to you but it’s al over either way. The populace is sufficiently dumbed down. The communists have won. Feel the water around you and take notice that it’s hot. You are three quarters bolted. Enjoy what you can and plan to get your kids out. Send them off with gold maple leaf as a life raft. They are on sale today. I saw it coming but I never thought it would be this bad. Talk to a group of people and you will see the dissonance and brainwashing. I don’t even bother anymore. If you’re not smart enough to see it now then you never will.
“If Poilievre doesn’t throw this under the bus before the sun goes down, it’s over.”
Poilievre wants to be Prime Minister of Canada. BFD
Justin Trudeau was just a symptom.
Canada is the disease.
can a duh is a rotting corpse with the commies feeding off of it…….. if we don’t get out this year we will be living in a commie police state.
I’ll repeat … for KM’s (this site’s so-called “true conservative’s”) benefit …
I would argue that the moment you accept a false premise … you’ve lost the argument completely. In this case of “gender”-anything … is similar to CAGW … Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming. Nice, polite, moderate Republicans like to say … “yes, the world is warming” … TILT! ERROR! Sorry … but you’ve now LOST the argument and anything else you say will become irrelevant… because you’ve accepted the FALSE, unproven, claim that “fossil fuels” are raising the earths temperature. There is no empirical evidence for this … other than computer models and mangled temperature records.
The ONLY correct answer is the one spoken by Trump … CAGW is FRAUD … and it is being used to destroy Western civilization. PDJT is the ONLY Politician I know with the balls to speak this truth. And it is the same for “gender”-anything. It’s a make-believe construct of FRAUDULENT psychologists and so-called physicians.
The term ‘gender’ is a grammatical term used synonymously with ‘sex’, as in the biological one.
I much prefer ‘gender’ as it is a bit more graceful than ‘sex’; I’m very annoyed that such a term should be destroyed due to political/ideological scheming.
But other than that: yes.
I won’t argue with the English Professor … yes, “gender” is a more targeted word than “sex” … which can be difficult to differentiate its use as a noun or verb
I stated 20 years ago that when Conservatives get into power they become the clean up crew for liberals-basically janitors for the left. They refuse to show spine or show up and well become conservatives, of course our media is so far up the liberal party’s arse it isn’t funny. I reached the point I just don’t care how much damage the left do, I am old with a few years left let them burn it down I just don’t care.
“I am old with a few years left let them burn it down I just don’t care.”
Be careful what you wish for, Monica.
Remember, no matter how bad things are…things can always get worse.
Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
“Remember, no matter how bad things are…things can always get worse.”
I sure hope so, because nothing other than a complete economic collapse will get through the thick skulls of the average Canadian voter.
War is worse.
Just take away ALL fossil fuels … all booooooo!! Carbon … from every Canadian. Come on conservative Canadian political Party … DO IT!! Net Zero NOW!!!
Walk your talk. Stop bullshitting around the edges!
If carbon is killing us all … then it MUST be BANNED … immediately!! There’s NO TIME TO SPARE.
“I reached the point I just don’t care how much damage the left do, I am old with a few years left let them burn it down I just don’t care.”
Tell you what, you’re going to care pretty hard when the nurse shows up with that “mandatory MAiD” form for you to sign…
By the way, while on the subject, how long before MAiD is the orderly pushing you off the hospital roof into a dumpster five stories below? Drugs are expensive y’know.
A person could be lying sick in a bed in the cold darkness, wallowing in their own waste, hoping for a can of bugs to eat.
I’m just curious … do any of those MAID drugs require fossil fuels in their production? If they do … then perhaps that will be my argument out of it all?
They can just dig a hole, toss your body in, and plant a tree on your body.
BOOM! instant forgiveness for carbon transgressions.
(by the way, oil and gas do not come from fossils)

All those dead dinasours on Titan concur.
Ohhhhhhhhh Mommmmaaaaaa mic … there must be global (moonish) warming on Titan!
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh mommmmaaaaaaa!
Phew! Thank you OZ … it’s good to know I won’t be tossed into an unmarked grave … but I’ll have a Doug Fir to mark my passing … like the indigenous peoples did
I’m sure the youth of your country appreciate this.
Things always look darkest before they become completely black.
Is there a difference between a sock puppet and a stocking horse?
