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.
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.
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.
Yes, there’s definite scapegoat action there. We see Doug Ford, you little shits. This is pretty much the trash-talk map, though, so I’ll let it slide.
Shh, we unfortunately got infected with Doug Ford and can’t seem to find a cure. We’re literally willing to try experimental drugs at this point.
“Despises O’Toole”? Did I just get transported back in time 4 years?
TBF, just because he isn’t the the jead of the conservative party anymore doesn’t mean the animosity faded.
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.
In case you’re curious, the drinking age in Quebec is, in fact, 18.
It’s just a suggestion.
Quebec is also where I learned the phrase “No cop, no stop.”
But I think they were arrested for not saying arrêt.
Quebec is where I learned to channel Peggy Hill if someone tries to force me to speak French. Maintenant, Repeté!
Jay parlay Fran-says tray bee-in. Jay-tude en laycole, quart ans.
About that time they switch to English, and beg me to never attempt to speak French again
Lol.
J’comprend Français, bien. J’parle Français un peu.
Outdated. Everyone hates Pierre Pollivere instead of O’tool now…
Kinda sad that O’tool looks so rational and centrist now comparatively
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.
Hating Toronto is really the great Canadian unifier, even for Torontonians.
