Rest of country relieved they can still look down on Alberta

11 HOURS AGO by LUKE GORDON FIELD ( @LUKEMAYBEFUNNY )

OTTAWA – In the wake of Danielle Smith’s re-election as Alberta Premier, the other Provinces and Territories breathed a sigh of relief that, if nothing else, they can continue to shit on the Province of Alberta to make themselves feel a little bit better.

“Between Toronto falling into a state of decay and the Leafs leafing once again, it’s been tough times,” said Ontario resident Dalton McDaniels. “But for the next four years I’ll be able to say ‘at least we didn’t elect the vaccine equals Nazi lady,’ and that makes my heart warm.”

“Not like Ontario would ever elect a polzaring right-wing figure with a history of saying controversial things,” he added.

Smith won her election campaign by committing to a disciplined messaging strategy that convinced voters she was not the same lunatic who had been saying crazy things on the radio for the last 3 years. Now that she is securely in power she will almost certainly undo all that work and go back to talking about things like an Alberta exclusive oil pipeline that just circles the province, or declaring that people who get the flu shot are worse than Genghis Khan. At least, that’s what residents of 9 other Provinces are hoping for.

1. Ugh. Was hoping for an upset there.

What is it about oil that makes people nuts? Is it the benzene?

2. Same question...

I have been asking for a long time.

3. LOL

It may be satire but it is also true and well deserved. Alberta, aka Texas North, did, indeed, elect the "vaccine equals Nazi lady". The next 4 years are going to be quite the ride and not in a good way, imo.

4. Born and raised Albertan

Lived here for 67 years now and can safely say Alberta is the dumbest place in Canada.
They elected the woman who thought she had the power to grant pardons, like a US president. This dimwit was a "political commentator" with her own talk radio program for several years and still didn't know the powers of the premier. Even *I* knew.

The unmasked and the anti-vaxxers are "the most discriminated against people in Alberta", according to the dimwit because people should have the right to spread disease and death without government mandates and interference.

Dimwit Smith on university behaviour codes: “It is perfectly reasonable [to] expect its students to refrain from practices that are biblically condemned, and sign a pledge not to get drunk, swear, harass, lie, cheat, steal, have an abortion, practise the occult, or engage in sexual sins such as premarital sex, adultery, homosexual behaviour and viewing of pornography.”

Go ahead, Canada, dump on Alberta! This place deserves it.
