Reminds me of the line from the movie The Dark Knight:
"You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain"
Danielle Smith once claimed her "mission in public life" was to defend the fundamental rights and freedoms, and that they "cannot be taken away from us by government".

But now she's the one who has taken away fundamental rights and freedoms from Albertans.

Watching my wife get emotional and have to leave the room because Little is pitching makes me want him to win very badly as I know there are a lot of non believers.

Doesn't make sense even if I actually do love a high fat diet. It turns out it's also nice to be healthy so advice from scientists and nutrition experts is better than quacks.
Another thing to not import from down south.

Trump isn’t even trying to hide the fact that the DOJ is completely politicized and the rule of law no longer applies federally

Maybe signalling to caucus and staff that party politics is a free-for-all wasn’t such a good idea.

Pete Hoekstra the MAGA ambassador continues to gaslight Canadians for our willingness to stand up for our country. Here is my latest where I school Mr. Hoekstra on how Canadians will stand up for liberty and democracy.

Elbows up, Pete
The MAGA ambassador to Canada is at it again — gaslighting our country and blaming Canada for the poor state of Canadian-American relations.

At least they're not trying to hide it anymore.
Can't see how people defend this unless they agree, no room for anything other than "I am with you" or "I am agin you"

Well, apropos almost nothing today, do I ever dislike little PP!
Can't believe how I let his shit eating countenance live in my brain.

On a brighter note, I only need to get through about another 20 years and my best before will totally expire and I don't have to worry about everyone else.

Loud cheers for mass deportations and Alberta separation were the peaks of an otherwise tame and quiet town hall for Premier Danielle Smith's Alberta Next panel in Lloydminster.
