They looked at USA's ongoing dumpster fire to the south and said "that looks nice and warm."
Conservatives are a plague
Conservatives have adopted the franchise model and applied it to politics. They conform themselves to head office (in this case Republicans in the US) and get to piggy back off the propaganda that gets put out by them. The US being the media powerhouse that it is, it's pretty effective. Alberta is the most obvious example of this.
The first PM to do this was Mulroney with Reagan (and his -nomics bs that's led us to this hellscape).
If we had been smarter back then we never would have elected that idjit in the first place. All he did was follow Reagan around like a lap dog.
How is that even possible? Are restrictions on firearms a provincial matter instead of a federal one?
Let's not pretend that these people aren't Ameriboo LARPers.
As far as I know its federal.
But now she's laid the groundwork to blame the federal government for something she doesn't have the jurisdiction to deal with in the first place.
Alrighty, I live in BC. Next pandemic I vote we close the road passes to Alberta to anyone not vaccinated.
Why wait? Albertans are already a plague of assholery in BC.
Its almost like they don't enjoy spending time in the wasteland they've created π€
Come on BC, pitting us against you is exactly the way they accumulate more power.
John Rustad doesn't believe that COVID is a serious disease, regrets his COVID vaccine (sorry, "so-called vaccine"), supports anti-LGBTQ2+ agendas, doesn't believe in climate change, and...has a good shot of being your next premier.
You're in the same boat as us - christofascists controlling the narrative, then controlling the government, then the media, then our bodies and our lives. By lashing out at "stupid redneck Albertans" you're wasting effort that should be spent taking down the people pushing this narrative. Meanwhile, we're wasting effort defending ourselves (and counterattacking), instead of ... that's right - taking down the people pushing this narrative.
BC and Alberta together. And Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, the other four provinces and three territories - we need to STAND TOGETHER AGAINST FASCISM, and not let them drive wedges between us.
Solidarity.
That seems a little extreme. Just "involuntarily treat" everyone who crosses the border.
Stupid fascist fucker.
We have to stand up against this evil. March in the streets. Strike. Hold the line.
Cool but does it stop businesses. Can an employee say if you donβt have this shot you canβt work? Cause clients donβt want you.
Not...yet.
Let her put this into effect, and then watch for the 'no persecution based on vaccine status' rhetoric.
That include the right to transition?
Iirc that's a federal law, so provinces can't fuck with it.
A federal Conservative government is a bit scary though.
Transgender rights in Canada, including procedures for changing legal gender and protections from discrimination, vary among provinces and territories, due to Canada's nature as a federal state (but no one an be banned or discriminated against for changing their gender.)
Bill C-16, which passed in June 2017, added the words "gender identity and expression" in three instances. These words were added to the Canadian Human Rights Act as prohibited grounds for discrimination, and to the Criminal Code in two sections, the first dealing with hate speech and hate incitement and the second regarding sentencing for hate crimes.

My lunatic anti-vax, anti-pharma, anti-government mother in Grande Prairie will eat this shit up.
Smith is such a vapid cunt
