I kind of hate that I wound up in Alberta of all places, as I don't support the UCP or agree with oil hicks and seperatists on much of anything, but I'll be damned if I haven't put down roots, started a family, and made a beautiful life here. I guess someone has to stick around to offer resistance and try to keep these idiots from privatizing healthcare. Red Deer nearly flipped orange last election. Never imagined I'd see that happen.

You were only 1300 votes away from an NDP government.

And now god-mayor Nenshi is the candidate, and you can win an Albertan election with just Calgary and Edmonton. It feels like the Conservatives have accepted their fate and are now seeing how much shit they can get in before then.

Hey, at least it wasn't Montreal. Which according to the data is the only place with mixed feelings about Alberta, likely due to being unanimously hated, even by Alberta.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

I thought the data showed Montreal definitively hates Alberta AND the rest of Canada.

It's almost like Alberta isn't the unlivable shithole the rest of Lemmy thinks it is and makes sure to say every fucking time it's mentioned.

As long as politics aren't being discussed, it's easy to forget you even live in a conservative province. For the most part everyone is just normal people going about their lives like anywhere else. I get real fucking tired of the Trudeau circle-jerk, though. I get the impression most people don't even know enough about politics to explain why they hate him so much. A lot of them still think he controls the price of fuel.

It's a good way to guage someone's character, though. The moment a person you're unfamiliar with starts talking about/blaming Trudeau, you usually know they're not worth talking to.

Where do you come from originally?

I came here from Michigan back in 2017.

Outdated. Everyone hates Pierre Pollivere instead of O'tool now..

Kinda sad that O'tool looks so rational and centrist now comparatively

[-] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, all the supposed centrists really buggered that one up. Didn't exactly take a genius to figure out that if the LPC won 2021 they were highly unlikely to win the next election.

Now we got PP 'invest in crypto guys' Milhouse who's actually got a fucking chance.

Almost makes me miss harper

Hating Toronto is really the great Canadian unifier, even for Torontonians.

"Despises O'Toole"? Did I just get transported back in time 4 years?

[-] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

TBF, just because he isn't the the jead of the conservative party anymore doesn't mean the animosity faded.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

His resignation tour was really interesting. He went on a rant against social media-led politicking and (iirc) kinda/sorta called for a return to big tent parties.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Weird that a resignation tour is a thing.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

In hindsight I should have liked him more.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Compared to most of the leadership alternatives, he was good. I appreciate that he didn't want to pander to the Poilievre base.

His overthrow was inevitable. In retrospect, at least.

In case you're curious, the drinking age in Quebec is, in fact, 18.

Convenience store employees are unlikely to see it that way lol.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

Then buy you beer from a dép.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

A dépanneur is a convenience store my dude

Quebec doesn't deserve Montreal, make it its own province.
