The Liberals have teated Alberta and Saskatchewan very unfairly

[formosan]

The Retard Farm, yes. "Third Rail Forum" was kind of a wanky name for a forum that was supposed to be about political discussion, but which ended up degenerating into petty bickering and squabbles that were commonplace in its later years.

2016 election night was a classic case in point; the forum owner was feeling his oats and dropped a beautifully written screed analysing the reasons why Hillary Clinton was going to stomp Donald Trump into the mat. There were some pointed and rather pompous taunts in there against republican supporters... in short, he had this scrollbomb and couldn't wait to get it out and spend the evening dancing and cavorting about in front of The Fallen's dashed hopes and dreams.

Then Florida got called. This irked our leftie hero somewhat; he has to my understanding penned a number of highly regarded texts on the subject of US politics. But he doubled down, assuring us all that it was an aberation. "Merely a flesh wound" as they say in the classics.

Frood and another poster by the name of Hoot Gibson got to taunting our hero in return. Nothing really caustic mind you, but as further states were looking like going to The Evil One, our fearless and unflappable hero got increasingly miffed, petulant and yes... Mad as Fuck. How could he have gotten it so wrong that these peon right wingers piss all over his parade? Ultimately he banned Hoot, then Frood mere minutes later. I probably would have been numbered in among their exile too, only I was too busy following multiple streams of ashen faced reporters and trying very hard not to punch the air in glee myself.

I didn't know the depth of the guy's involvement in the political sphere at the time, that would come later when his RL picture was forwarded to me and a cursory check of the background informed me of exactly why he was fixing to blow a gasket over the affair. All I can tell you is that as much as his retarded behaviour was a source of amusement to the people watching him melt down over his forum, it was even more surreal to recognise the lofty station of the scalp that Frood and Hoot claimed that night... all with scarcely a flame delivered. Well, maybe some trolling was involved, but as was noted, our forum owning Hero had already baited the trap at the outset. And ended up roaring like TYT's Chunky Yoghurt when that trap went off on his big toe.

Frood could tell you more, no doubt.

I remember Lotusbud being super partisan......it's so silly.

Yeah, well I had been hoping Bernie would have secured the Democrat ticket, but had seen their shenanigans with the superdelegates handing the nominee to Hillary. Which I don't mind telling you digusted the crap out of me at the time, but right at the point Bernie bent the knee and endorsed Clinton... that was pretty much the point where I said "fuck that guy, he's a weak as piss." I wasn't impressed with how they went after Bernie supporters after the fact either... that was pretty much where I washed my hands of where the left had gone. I honestly thought Hillary was going to coast her way into the POTUS too; seeing Trump get up and kick her to the kerb did my heart good.

Remember too that Trump was effectively a business democrat and would donate to that party on the regular... to see them turn on one of their own and vilify him in the manner that they did was my wakeup call. I can easily map the deception and dirty politics I observed in the case of the US right back on to what Alberta and Saskatchewan receive at the hands of Canada's Liberals. I wouldn't back them in a fit either... and Justin and I had mutual friends. I say "had"... the truth is these were people who were close to the Trudeaus since Pierre was running the show and who ended up getting righteously fucked over by the son who their own children used to play with. A guy that will do that to his closest and longstanding associates... yeah, you cannot expect him to treat people he's never met as anything less than something he can screw over for his own political ends.

Likely as not to save his own neck I imagine; you probably heard about the $2.13 million settlement he paid out to make the allegations of a former female student of his go away. I've no direct knowledge of this mind you, but I imagine a certain biographer of George Soros leveraged Justin's pecadilloes and what it would mean for him politically if he didn't knuckle down and deliver Canada to the WEF on a silver platter. It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest, the globalist-minded sure as hell are no stranger to using and abusing children to further their political agenda.

Bernie eventually sold-out. All Democrats do or they are forced out of the party and become pariahs like Mr Kennedy and Ms Gabbard.

[Lokmar]

Bernie The loon never wanted to be POTUS. He's a coward and only enjoys being the opposition.

[.]

And yet he's out on the campaign trail right now for the third time running.... him and his donkey-toothed ratbag. Singing songs about taxing the billionaires... yeah, want to tell me how many houses that cunt owns? Last I heard it was three, maybe four... I don't rightly recall..

It doesn't greatly matter if he wants to be or doesn't want to be; he's proven himself a spineless turd (twice now) and is not fit to be POTUS. The one thing he ran on that I could get behind in 2016 - getting big money out of politics - is pretty much bullshit when you consider how many sheckels he collected in the intervening years of doing as he is bloody well told and getting well and truly cucked on the regular. Fuck that aging bint, he needs to pull his foreskin over his head and vanish up his dick.

Albertans asked for this in a clear referendum...It was ignored...
It's time for full Alberta independence and to end this giant Ponzi scheme for good.

[Herman]

The real question echoing across the Prairies is not "Why would Alberta leave?" but "Why on earth would it stay?"

We are ceaselessly told, with the smug assurance of Central Canadian punditry, that Alberta is "stronger within Canada." This is the lullaby Ottawa sings to keep the West docile while siphoning its wealth and ridiculing its lifeblood industries.

Let us say it plainly, even if it unsettles polite company: Alberta does not need Canada.

It has the resources. It has the people. It has the vision. What it needs is the resolve to break the chains of a federation that has too often treated it as a colony, not a partner.

Let the rest of Canada talk of unity. Out here, we must begin to talk of dignity. For if fairness cannot be found within the federation, then Alberta must find it elsewhere.

The sun does not rise only in the East. It rises over Alberta too. And perhaps, just perhaps, it's time for us to rise with it.

Here is an article written by Rick Bell of Postmedia about what Ontarians and Quebeckers think about Albertans. The ignorance here is shocking.

Ontario, Quebec feel Albertans are loud whiners over nothing
A just-released poll shows us many in Ontario and Quebec and Atlantic Canada don't have a clue why Alberta and others in the West have had enough with Ottawa

The Angus Reid poll confirms the steady rat-a-tat-tat of emails fired into my inbox whenever the idea of Alberta being screwed around by the Liberal government in Ottawa comes up.

The incoming abuse almost always is from Ontario, the self-proclaimed centre of the universe.

There are a few missiles shot from Quebec, often the favoured ones in this country called Canada.

Like...

Albertans you make me sick. You've got your stupid oil. Why don't you just shut the hell up?

What don't you just leave Canada if you don't like the way things are run here?

Alberta whiners, you're all the bunch of redneck losers.

We built you a pipeline, what more do you want?

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith? They loathe her.

You get the idea. Then there's the poll.

People are asked if they believe western Canada, of which Alberta is a big slice of that pie, complains too much.

The majority in Ontario say yes. Too much bellyaching out west.

The majority in Quebec agree. As do the Atlantic provinces.

And in the last six years, the number who believe the complaining has gone too far has grown.

My guess is if Angus Reid pollsters had only asked about Alberta complaining, and not lumped the province in with the other western provinces, those saying there is too much complaining out here would be even higher.

When Albertans are asked about the West's political power, three out of four Albertans say the West has too little power.

Ontario, Quebec and down east feel we have just about the right amount of political power, which is almost squat.

As for the West's economic influence, that's a big question in Alberta since this province gives Canada more than it gets and receives more contempt than respect in return.

Of course, Albertans believe the West has too little economic influence but, you guessed it, Ontario and Quebec and the Atlantic provinces think the West's economic influence is just fine the way it is.

It really is stunning.

Folks in Ontario, especially, think the Parliament of Canada treats their province fairly. No kidding.

A very different story in Alberta. The majority don't think we are treated fairly by the politicians in Ottawa. Also no kidding.

Most individuals in Ontario, Quebec and the Atlantic provinces figure we have the amount of influence in this country we should have and we are being treated fairly by the rest of Canada.

When Albertans complain it is seen as whining by people who don't see a problem or don't want to see one.

And that is why it is a fight for Alberta to get any agreement on what should be a simple matter, like deep-sixing Liberal anti-oil policies hurting the country and making Canada more dependent on the U.S.

And that is why there is frustration and there is anger and more than a few Albertans are losing faith or have lost faith in Canada.

PRESTON MANNING: 62% OF ONTARIANS BELIEVE A LIE  — HOW CAN THIS BE? 

"A recent poll by Pollara found that 62% of Ontarians believe Premier Danielle Smith of Alberta is a separatist. The truth is that Premier Smith — whom I've know personally for a long time — is not a separatist and has made that clear on numerous occasions to the public, the media, and anyone who asks her.

"So how is it that 62% of Ontarians believe such an untruth? The first reason is ignorance — ignorance particularly of anything political that is happening west of Kenora. The second reason is indifference — indifference that precludes making any effort to find out what is happening politically west of Kenora. And the third and greatest reason is misinformation — not so much misinformation transmitted via the social media because it is especially older Ontarians who believe the lie about Smith — but misinformation fed into the minds of Ontarians via the traditional media.

"Misinformation on western politics propagated by the CBC of course — rumored to soon be renamed the Carney Broadcasting Company in appreciation for the $150 million bribe offered by the PM to the state broadcasting company during the recent election campaign — but also misinformation propagated by CTV and Global. And misinformation about western politics also propagated — inadvertently or deliberately — by the Toronto based, legacy print media.

"What has particularly fueled the misinformation about Smith being a separatist is the fact that she is also a democrat. So, when a significant number of Albertans have expressed interest and even support for the secession option, Premier Smith has not attempted to censure or suppress it as adherents to the anti-democratic cancel culture philosophy would insist. Instead, as Alberta laws facilitate, she has supported the use of a referendum mechanism to determine the will of Albertans on secession — which I repeat, she opposes as do a majority of Albertans.

"But, notwithstanding the vast intellectual and technological resources of the mainstream media, apparently it has been too difficult to inform their viewers and readers on the difference between a democrat allowing a vote on secession and a separatist in favor of that option. Hence 62% of Ontarians mistakenly believe the lie that Premier Smith is a separatist.

"But then again, perhaps not surprising. Just earlier this week, the Premier of Ontario declared that he believes in Santa Clause and likened the Carney government with its sleigh of taxpayer financed goodies to jolly old Saint Nick.

"Dear Doug Ford: There is no Santa Claus, and Dear Ontarians, there is no separatist Premier in Alberta."

That hand sanitizer addicted Chug Eddie is right about the unfair treatment my province and Alberta get from Ottawa.
