  • My beliefs are Liberal on every issue, social and economic. I vote liberal in every provincial election. I vote for liberal mayors and councilors. As an Albertan I will never vote federal Liberal as long as I live. Then entire history of or province is a history of getting fucked in the ass by Ottawa. Right from our formation as a mercantlist-style colony for eastern business to NEP to Dion's green shift. Harper nailed it in his summation of liberal policy: "screw the west, get the rest"

  • @rfavro I hate people from Alberta.

    Trudeau overlooked the nastiness of Western Canada. He appeased them and now look what we have as our prime minister, an ultra right wing, christian fundamentalist from Alberta with Americanized views. It's a disaster. They play down Trudeau like he was the worst PM that ever existed. It's an absolute catastrophe what we have today in parliament.

  • Wow, a young Trudeau reminds me of Putin!

  • Trudeau made many mistakes in regards to the West but he is not as anti-Western as western populists or separatists make him out to be. I am left-of-centre but I agree that the NEP was a disaster for Alberta - even from a leftist perspective - corporations lobbied Trudeau to remove taxation on oil corporations in the NEP and the NEP turned to demand taxes from Albertans. In the constitutional talks, Trudeau backed the West's stance of opposition to special status for Quebec that Levesque wanted.

  • Thank you Mr. Trudeau for summing up conservative western canada with your "gripe and bitch" comment. I am not anti-conservative, just anti western crybaby conservative.

  • @VeryHugeAss But the government could also overrule laws made by the courts.

  • Back when Canada actually had leaders.

    Not like the scumbag piece of shit we have now.

  • no your ideas are neither pretty or original. u'r a dick.

  • @warrentur Oh my ideas are actually pretty original. It just so happens Im working on an invention that will revolutionize the world of AWESOMENESS...I call it the SOLAR-POWERED FLASHLIGHT!!! So stick that in yer pipe and suck on it!!! You wait till Im richer than Bill Gates...then you'll be cleaning my toilette...with a brush...a toiletter brush!

  • @chefshitpiece ....really??? since you have never had an original idea how would propose agrarian canucks "dream"? like u ? fucktard. take your head out of the gas oven. what a dick.
