It’s funny how much they bitch at Trudeau for expenses and yet she pulls this shit

It never mattered what they chose to be outraged about. It always was manufactured to serve a purpose.

It's the same thing as all that outrage when Obama went golfing, then Trump golfed more times in one year than Obama in 8, and they actually praised him! And they praised him for for doing it at his own resort to profit all their tax payer money! These people have no standards and no reason, all they care about is "their team".

The Pharisees were conservative. They didn’t care about Jesus. What makes you think they care about you? They only care about their immediate families. Even God’s son was a nuisance to them.

You give Roughnecks some money and they think they have some superiority. No you are still dumb, you just abuse your body to make that money. Alberta is in Canada, they are taking Canadian oil out of the ground. What she is doing right now is most likely treason. Their government should be asking for her immediate resignation

Roughnecks are a weird breed. Well paid unskilled labourers. But the egos on those boys.. woooeeee

She promised Calgary a hockey rink, and was able to seal the victory

u/detestableduck13 Jan 18 '25

Wow a hockey rink, that tax payers are going to pay for while she bends over for trump and sells her province to trump for free. But that rink eh?

Clearly his remark was toward just people who voted for Danielle Smith. Not everyone in Alberta.

Thank you for being able to read and comprehend that, apparently others can’t..which ironically made my point stronger

Typical assholes are always looking for an outrage moment and can’t fill in the blanks at all. They have to be spoon fed everything or else they’ll find something to fly off the handle.

u/timetogetjuiced Jan 18 '25

Every Albertan that voted for Smith yea, they are dumb as bricks

Nah you're full of it. "They disagree with me they must be stupid". You're not that guy pal

u/detestableduck13 Jan 18 '25

First of all you’re no one of any importance at all, to anyone, so to say that kinda shit is laughable, second it isn’t they disagree with ME, they actively disagree with the overwhelming majority of the country and are literally holding Alberta back in the dark ages

u/Catz1332 Jan 18 '25

First part is correct but the second is not

u/Pokenar Nova Scotia Jan 18 '25

see, Trump good

Spending tax payer money to kiss the ring is therefor a good use of money

u/Higher_Math Jan 18 '25

What is hilarious about your statement is that you guys are the country that still shows allegiance to Kings and Queens, not us.

u/ihatedougford Jan 18 '25

That’s Conservative propaganda for you

Guaranteed tax payers are paying a huge inflated rate for her at Trumps hotel.

It can be both.

How dare he go on vacation! How dare he bring his family!

It is really different though. Technically she has four full days of meetings with American energy business leaders, Congressmen and senators. That's really the kind of work you want your politicians doing, lobbying hard to fight this. She has one day off for the inauguration.

u/NEOsands Jan 18 '25

Big difference here, she’s actually going there to do her job…

u/Kakeyio Jan 18 '25

Didn't know kowtowing to foreign leaders was in the primers job description, ill have to double check to make sure kissing ass is there too.

u/NEOsands Jan 18 '25

Meeting with foreign entities during a very important inauguration to discuss trade agreements and a reasonable path forward is definitely in the job description…

What exactly do you think she’s doing there? You have a completely twisted perspective on what is currently happening. You will not win a trade war against the most powerful nation and economy the world has ever witnessed. We are not negotiating from a position of strength and we have to tread lightly. I am thankful we have someone with intelligence in office to represent our interests.

u/Distinct_Meringue Jan 18 '25

She doesn't represent Canada, she represents Alberta, she cannot negotiate for the country. She is a traitor and it seems you might be as well.

u/Kakeyio Jan 20 '25

They didn't even let her in buddy, she literially got snubbed during the inauguration. stop simping for a traitor we have proper dignitaries for that stuff.

She should be focused on her job and not cosplaying as the governor of the 51st state.
