And here we see the actual problem - Danielle isn't the crazy lady holding the party hostage (like Kenny's comment about the "inmates running the asylum" suggested), the whole party has gone off the deep end.
I don't see how this has any chance of being fixed, unless the UCP suffers multiple crushing electoral defeats over the next decade or so.
I recently mused that it has got to be hard for the Onion to come up with something these days given how reality keeps catching up to satire, but this headline proves it's not just hard, it's downright impossible to satirize Trump.
That would actually be good parody yes. Surprising nobody jumped on that yet.
Man, I'd hate to work for the Onion these days. Reality is catching up to satire so quickly I'm pretty sure there's a bunch of people going "yeah, that sounds like something he'd do" and think nothing further of it.
18 and life by Skid Row?
Honestly, even with the two clues and the genre I had no idea this was a Lamb if God song, and I listen to them frequently. Sometimes the hints might look obvious to the poster but not the audience due to the different perspectives they approach the hints from.
I was already in favor of Trudeau stepping aside to let someone else run, but this has convinced me even more that this is the right direction for the Liberals. It would instantly invalidate the years worth of vitriol the conservatives have fomented towards Trudeau personally (see the "fuck Trudeau" merch) and send them scrambling to drum up the same amount of baseless hate towards whoever runs in his place. Personally, I think this is the best play the Liberals have, and a masterful way to make the Cons look like they have no platform other than outrage.
It honestly reads like the author dismisses the potential of foreign influence affecting both domestic actors and politics outright without proof. There's ample evidence that Russian state-affiliated actors have worked with social media influencers to foment outrage, for example. That's not a "new red scare", that's straight up proof of intelligence operations designed to undermine Russia's geopolitical opponents.
"Big surprise" said everyone with half a brain.
Seriously though, this is working exactly as intended by the UCP - they want to have Alberta's faith pinned to the petro dollar to stay in power. Hard times, global downturn? Blame everyone for ruining Alberta's precious oil industry -> vote UCP to stick it to the federal government. Good times, oil boom? The UCP freed us from the green yoke the federal government is trying to force on us -> vote UCP to keep your heard-earned success.
This is a difficult one. Any specific subgenre of metal you can give as a hint without spoiling it?
Hint
The name of this song is also a Celtic Frost album title.

And through the solar sign proclaim
First hint at 24 hours
Since it's been 24 hours, here's a hint: The crown is important
Second hint at 48 hours
Someone already guessed the band's name. And there is a reference to the song's title in both this picture and the lyrics .
Answer
Heavy lies the crown by Orange Goblin.
Who am I to, to make the rules, to break the rules and slay the fools How am I, to be the man, who rules the land, with sword in hand Fire roars, upon the sores that carry heroes off to war Heavy lies the crown I wear, but I did swear this weight to bear
We stand for truth and honour And on the morning tide We head to war together Beneath the Northern sky And Odin's ravens lead us on to victory.

Hint: This band tragically lost their guitarist in a car crash (driving a Mazda RX7-FD at the time). They eventually broke up and now tour as an orchestra playing symphonic Christmas music.
[24 hour hint] Since this is a pretty difficult one, here's a big hint: The band is named after a poem by John Milton.
[Solution] This was a hard one due to the genre, but I loved how the AI captured the two states the subject of the song finds himself in by using the heaven and hell imagery side by side and the depiction of the long stairwell to absolution. Nowhere in the song does it explicitly mention heaven or that ascension, but it does capture the protagonists journey from fear and self-doubt to letting to and wondering why they ever felt that way to begin with quite well.
As it's been 24 hours, here's a hint: The clock and what it represents is extremely relevant to the topic of this song.
[Update] Good guesses everyone. The link with Meatloaf is that he and Iron Maiden have a song that shares the same title (Heaven can wait), and the link with The Hu is that Iron Maiden will be touring the US this year with The Hu as support.
Shock the monkey by either Peter Gabriel or Coal Chamber with Ozzy Osbourne
