Dear Alberta

Just because they could find no evidence of an email doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

It hasn't been a good week for Danny Smith. She has been spending a lot of campaign time dealing with her record of interfering in the justice system.

And then she changed her view on Jennifer Johnson who called transgender children "poop in cookie dough"!

First she said Johnson was “offensive and vile,”and if elected would not be allowed to sit in the UCP caucus. The next day she said she could earn her way back into the caucus! Just how do you take back the vile and offensive views of a bigot?

Way to go Danny. You changed your story and pissed off a lot of voters who don't share your candidates vile bigoted extremist views and then backtrack in an olive branch to your bigoted fringe, saying she could earn her way back?

Textbook, how not to deal with bad candidates and run a shaky chaotic election campaign in a tight race.


UCP, NDP in a dead heat as polls show the parties battling for Calgary votes

Two UCP candidates created turmoil for the party this week. One, Myles McDougall, apologized for past derogatory comments he made about Black people. Another, Jennifer Johnson, expressed regret and embarrassment after an audio recording emerged of her comparing transgender children in schools to “poop in the cookie batch.”

Also clouding the Conservative campaign was a damning report from Alberta’s Ethics Commissioner, released Thursday, that found Ms. Smith had violated conflict-of-interest rules by trying to influence Alberta Justice Minister Tyler Shandro on behalf of a street preacher. The man had been charged for his role in the 2022 anti-pandemic-mandate border blockade near Coutts, Alta.

Alberta Ethics Commissioner’s report showing Danielle Smith’s political interference still overshadows leaders’ debate

Taleesha Thorogood, a consultant with Crestview Strategy who worked on the 2019 UCP election campaign, said the report’s findings won’t make a significant difference to voters, but could help the NDP paint Ms. Smith as a poor leader.

“It does continue to feed into a narrative that the NDP have been trying to communicate around incompetence and distrust,” she said. “I think voters, you know, they want to be able to elect someone that they feel is competent and trustworthy, particularly if the ballot question ends up being on the issue of leadership.”

On CTV News Friday morning, Ms. Smith said Ms. Johnson could earn her way back into the UCP caucus if elected, keeping alive a controversy that dogged her party this week.

A day earlier, Ms. Smith had announced that Ms. Johnson would not be allowed to sit in the legislature under the UCP banner if she won her rural riding, Lacombe-Ponoka. The UCP Leader called Ms. Johnson’s comments “offensive and vile,” and said they did not represent her party’s values or those of Albertans.

Ms. Johnson has “a lot of work to do,” Ms. Smith said as she backtracked on Friday.

You live in Saskatchewan. This isn’t your business as much as it isn’t mine. I do not have any high opinions of smith neither but I stick to my own provincial matters.

Just more of the same rhetoric from chuck

He either uses ChatGPT for his responses or is an AI chatbot.

Quit teaching it!

Notley’s plan to “modernize” education is SCAREY. Critical Race and Q-ueer Theory are top of agenda. All while the NDP government taxes out businesses. Horrors! There would be a mass exodus outta Alberta, sure glad I didn’t buy that condo in Calgary? It’ll be a ghost town if Lefty Loonies win.

More lame and juvenile Agri"silly" responses? LOL

Even the fact that Notley and the NDP are in the running in Alberta should be enough of an indicator that not everyone agrees with many of the fringe views on Agrislly.

It must be difficult for many far right Albertans to accept the reality that there are a lot people who hold more progressive views similar to mine right in your own backyard. And about 50% of them may vote for the NDP.

U underestimate us. It's not difficult at all. We are well aware that the union party has a strong following in certain urban ridings.
Our children and grandchildren will have no inkling of what could have been. Only we know we are the last "higher" living generation. I am fine with that. I won't be around to say I told you so.
Besides, we get enough of that from you present day.
Why do you hate so much?

Watching the civilization our forefathers worked for…. Being dismantled is annoying and disappointing.

Clearly Mathew 24 provides ample warning for our communities… if selfishness, frivolous decadent arrogance, and deceit become the religious standards … climate change, evolution, AI computerization… drone warfare to kill humanity… dehumanizing the family, slaughter of innocent children… selling of body parts… denial of the Spiritual life that makes humanity different than the rest of living creatures and creation.

If humanity are just creatures with no consciousness… then evil reigns as good and evil do not determine freedom, justice or Love.

We as humanity have sunk to a sad state of dismal mediocrity… civilization that holds nothing sacred… except “feeling‘good’” and the bullies who are the boldest …”win “ the “democratic right “ to govern the humble and compassionate. Our choice… to be cowardly and hide in our alternative realities…

Blessings and Prayers…. We really really need some rain…

One thing that can’t be disputed…” We reap what we sow” and God is watching our every choice!
