The Stupid Party

Do tell.

I was going to write that there is something wrong with the way Conservatives choose their candidates these days. There is. We shouldn’t expect people to be political science grads, but when you’re schmoozing at a party chat-fest, and you find yourself explaining why free speech matters…

But, it’s worse than that. Having checked old Facebook and Instagram posts, the party seems to think the job is done.

It isn’t. Nobody in the party’s Albert Street office seems to have thought it necessary to put a box on the form indicating the candidate’s conservative credentials had been examined and found satisfactory. No wonder these duds reveal themselves as traitors when their selfish ambitions aren’t realized.

I Want A New Country

Another Liberal who ran as a Conservative outs themselves.

Marilyn Gladu has crossed the floor to join the Liberal Party of Canada, becoming the latest opposition member to enter Prime Minister Mark Carney’s governing caucus.

In a statement released by the Liberals on Wednesday, the longtime Conservative MP said her decision followed a year of economic uncertainty and feedback from constituents calling for “serious leadership” and a plan to strengthen Canada’s economy.

Gladu, who has represented the southwestern Ontario riding for more than a decade, said joining the government would better position her to advocate for local priorities and contribute to national economic goals, including job creation, trade diversification and housing construction.

Because the solution to “economic uncertainty” is to join forces with Team Uncertainty.

Gladu framed the move as a return to her riding’s historical role as a “bellwether” constituency, noting that Sarnia—Lambton had typically elected government MPs for decades prior to her tenure in opposition.

And there’s no comfy fur waiting for members in opposition.

Left Coast, Lost Cause

Kory Teneycke is her campaign manager.

Caroline Elliott initially committed to attend the only BC Conservative leadership debate taking place before the membership cutoff.

This is the moment members will decide who becomes the next Premier of British Columbia. It is a big deal.

Then things took a turn.

After agreeing to the date, format, and venue, Elliott’s campaign went ahead and bought out nearly every ticket to the venue. General admission was $50, VIP was $100. They cleared it out. Deep pockets. Impressive, I guess.

We weren’t going to let one campaign control the audience, so we moved the debate to a larger venue. Every campaign deserves a fair crowd.

No issue there.

At that point, Elliott backed out, and announced a mix & mingle event on the other side of the province.

Emphasis mine. I confess to not following BC politics much, so those of you with skin in that sorry game are welcome to expand upon it in the comments.

The Children Are Our Future

An Act to Remove Politics and Ideology from Classrooms and Amend the Education Act

…will require unbiased teaching devoid of statements on political, social or ideological matters and protect employees from participating in activities that infringe their beliefs while ensuring students can express their views freely.

“These changes strengthen accountability, reinforce neutrality and respect, and make it clear that politics and ideology have no place in Alberta classrooms,” said Education Minister Demetrios Nicolaides in a statement Tuesday.

The province is also establishing requirements for displaying the Alberta and Canadian flags, the playing of the national anthem at least once a week and oversight in respect to what flags are displayed in schools in relation to Alberta’s heritage, school culture and activities.

Why the SKParty government hasn’t led the way on this is anyone’s guess. There is zero downside.

The Party Of Tommy Douglas (he/dead)

HAPPENING NOW: It’s time for the “Emergency Resolutions” portion of the 2026 NPD leadership convention.

Is Carla Beck in the house?

I, Napoleon

Juno News;

A day after the International Olympic Committee banned biological males from competing in women’s sports events, Alberta NDP Leader Naheed Nenshi rejected applying the international sports organization’s standards to Alberta.

While speaking to reporters on Friday, Nenshi dismissed the idea of applying sex-based protections to youth athletics, calling it “ridiculous” to require biological verification for girls’ teams at the local level.

To be fair, the Alberta NDP have bigger problems right now.

“My friends watch out for the little fellow with an idea.”

Antizionism is utter cyanide poison for democratic governance not due to anything related to Israel, but because it turns your lawmakers into conspiratorial imbeciles. I can think of no more textbook example of this than the complete ruin of the NDP.

A fitting postscript to the story of the little fellow who brought us cradle to grave health care by the shortest route possible.

Transgender Is A Stalking Horse For The Normalization Of Pedophilia

It’s 2021

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.

CPC Leadership

Pierre Poilievre wins leadership review with 87.4% approval, Rosemary Barton hardest hit.

Poilievre waltzed into that redneck rodeo town and the whole room of racist trucker-hat-wearing western deplorables lost their minds cheering like he just invented beer or something. He crushed that leadership review with 87% or whatever the hell it was, the party faithful slobbering all over him, screaming like it’s the second coming. Pathetic.

That was the easy part. But the rest of Canada? Please. These un-Canadian clowns don’t speak for the country—they’re just the loudmouth Maple MAGA fringe who love Donald Trump and think affordability means more oil subsidies. He still hasn’t convinced normal people he’s fit to run anything bigger than a backyard BBQ. Hammered the same tired lines about prices and taxes, sure, but dodged anything real that might scare off his adoring hicks.

They say more details are coming, he’s gonna tour and talk. Yeah, sure he is. If he wants anyone outside that echo chamber to take him seriously as PM material, he better start sounding like he wants pandas from Beijing instead of pandering to those yahoos. God, it makes me sick—he was supposed to crash and burn, and instead these idiots propped him right back up.

OK, so I took liberties.
