Red Rose Country

Gov’t of Alberta censors press.
All budding totalitarians know that if you can’t control the press, you can’t control the masses.
Update: The story at The Rebel. And why not throw throw some bucks into the pot so The Rebel can set a precedent that no government in Canada can decide who is or isn’t a journalist. You’re forced to give $35 bucks a year to the CBC, why not match that for The Rebel?
Update: According to the National Post article, the Notley Crue are doubling down. It should be mentioned that Sheila Gunn Reid single-handily destroyed the Alberta NDP over Bill 6.
Update: Faith comes out of the closet.

Useful Fool Country

Turns out pleasing your friends doesn’t turn them into friends, either.

The province takes one economic blow after another from Canadians, despite NDP Premier Rachel Notley’s cheery efforts to make friends across the country.
Tuesday’s flat rejection of the Energy East pipeline by 82 Montreal-area municipalities means Alberta is now under virtual economic blockade.
Every cross-border project that matters to the energy industry is stymied by objections from provinces, municipalities and interest groups.
And it’s a funny thing — the objectors never seem to mention Alberta’s noble climate change policy, the one that was supposed to soften opposition to pipelines.

Juxtapose.

Red Ink Country

Never attribute to stupidity that which can be adequately explained by malice.

The circle of NDP imports moving into senior provincial government positions in Alberta continues to expand with the appointment of Marcella Munro to run communications and stakeholder outreach in Premier Rachel Notley’s Calgary office.
Munro moved to Calgary from Vancouver. She is a former CBC reporter, B.C. NDP activist and former Earnscliffe Strategy Group lobbyist who openly opposed Enbridge Inc.’s proposed Northern Gateway pipeline. “Those of us who oppose it need to keep pushing,” she tweeted in 2013.

Life Is Short. Make It Shorter.

Awkward.

Large caches of data stolen from online cheating site AshleyMadison.com have been posted online by an individual or group that claims to have completely compromised the company’s user databases, financial records and other proprietary information. The still-unfolding leak could be quite damaging to some 37 million users of the hookup service, whose slogan is “Life is short. Have an affair.”[…]
“Too bad for those men, they’re cheating dirtbags and deserve no such discretion,” the hackers continued. “Too bad for ALM, you promised secrecy but didn’t deliver. We’ve got the complete set of profiles in our DB dumps, and we’ll release them soon if Ashley Madison stays online. And with over 37 million members, mostly from the US and Canada, a significant percentage of the population is about to have a very bad day, including many rich and powerful people.”
