Could the media please stop using the phrase "Western Alienation"? I think I can speak for BC residents in saying we are not 'alienated". Let's call it what it is, an Alberta tantrum.
I'm so sick of seeing conservatives saying that the left wants government to give us "free stuff". Hey idiots, it's our money. You guys have no problem with the rich getting actual free stuff when they barely pay taxes.
Can we stop allowing Americans into Canada to go to Alaska? Too many are being stopped hanging out in Banff. If you must go, fly. The EU doesn't want to let them in, why should we?
I wish all Canadians would pay more attention to what is being done in AB and ON. It isn't a one off. If they can get away with killing social safety nets, privatizing everything, getting rid of oversight, implementing a charter school system we could all lose everything.
I am so disgusted by the vile cartoon depicting Greta in such a degrading way. Everyone involved should be fired and shamed and the rest of us need to take a long hard look at the way society depicts and discusses women and girls. This was hate speech and it affects us all.
Can someone please explain to me why anyone would be against medicare for all? I'm Canadian and the idea of not wanting healthcare for myself and everyone else is so strange.
All Canadians should be paying attention to what is happening in AB. It isn't a one off, it's a test balloon. If the federal cons win, they will do this to all of us.

All those articles and no one did a damn thing about it. It's apparently 'free speech' for the people who sell these ideas to uninformed angry boys. Personally, I beg to differ, how is sharing these ideas for a quick buck any different from selling what terrorist sell?
We just had a neighbor come to the door wanting a petition signed because a homeless shelter/treatment centre is being built in a lot about 4 blocks from here. I said good, people need homes and treatment. She was not amused. I hate these not in my back yard people.
There is something wrong with this country when a man who wants to be leader of his party can say something openly racist and know he'll get away with it. And he did. The conservative party is irreparably broken and has been hijacked by religious zealots and petty bigots.
@NightlyPolitics
The absolute entitlement of some people. They're like children stomping their feet at being told no. They follow a thousand other rules in their lives but this is too much for some reason.
I'm I the only one creeped out by Mike Pence naming members of the ridiculous Space Force "guardians"? It's very Handmaids Tale. Also, I'm just creeped out by Mike Pence.
I just saw a headline about a Manitoba pastor who says that the RCMP are blocking god by stopping his church services. Really? Your deity can be blocked by cops? Might want to shop around a bit, pal.
Jason Kenney is holding a creepy prayer breakfast at the same time he is making like even harder for poor disabled people and many others. Hey Jason, what would Jesus do? I doubt he'd be robbing the poor.
I've officially seen it all now. A man has just explained what it's like to have breasts and when I told him there were downsides he told me that I was wrong. Sigh. Mansplaining boobs to a woman. Good night world.
@DoomScroling
Rampant loneliness? He's talking about men there, obviously. Why aren't men to blame for any of those things he mentioned? Women aren't in marriages alone.
I believe it's high time we get rid of private and charter schools. Spread that money evenly amongst school districts. Why should children who already have all the advantages have even more. Time to democratize Canadian schools. Share the wealth for a healthier country.
England, really? Boris F*cking Johnson? A man who said the working class are lazy drunks and Muslim women look like letterboxes and bank robbers? Used slurs against black people and clearly dislikes women? You had a choice. You had Corbyn. You are no longer Great Britain
If I see one more rich bastard whining about how hard they have it because they've had to cancel their fancy plans or demanding people get back to work even if some of us die because they need more money, my next project is going to be a guillotine.
So far today I've seen:
Antifa are the real terrorists.
The KKK were liberals.
The Proud Boys are just a fraternal drinking group.
The old chestnut that the Nazis were socialists.
Are people just this stupid or are they fill of shit?
#WhenThisIsAllOver
we will know who is really valuable to society and more of us will know that the real enemies are the rich who are currently begging for handouts despite having more than we will in multiple life times. More will accept that socialism is the only way forward.
It's outrageous that the Canadian public have to pick up the tab for clean up orphaned oil wells. It's time the government seize the assets of people like Brett Wilson who leave a mess and continue their lavish lifestyles. Or we could jail them.
@jaywhotweets

@FeminemiIy
Exactly. It's like arguing with a 30 year old Nazi, they just spout rhetoric at you. The people who spread this toxic garbage should be ashamed of themselves.
Christians are raging and moaning because Chick fil A is no longer funding anti-gay hate groups and instead focusing on things like hunger and homelessness. How very un-Christian to feed and house people. Does it ever occur to these whiners that they are the bad guys?
If I have to hear the "Nazi were socialists" argument from one more absolute idiot I swear to all the gods I will find a way to hex people through the internet. Enough, stupid ones.
@ask_aubry
He is 100% saying worse behind her back if his horrible friends feel this comfortable verbally abusing her that way.
And who does that? Who looks at someone in THEIR home and tells them their fat and laughs? What is wrong with this man?
How do regular people get sucked into the notion that deregulation, privatization and smaller government are good things for them when they are actually terrible? Even with the steady diet of RW talking points don't they stop to think of what they'll lose and who will gain?
@JessPected
That's the whole point, there is no one to compare to so of course the insecure male is the best. It's gross, it's creepy and it's predatory. I've never heard any woman I know say they're looking for men in their early 20's.
Why are Christians so hung up on homosexuality when the Bible also mentions greed a lot. It also tells people not to eat shellfish, that women shouldn't preach, that people shouldn't pray in public, that they shouldn't convert people and on and on. But they'll make cakes for them
What the hell are churches exempt from paying taxes? I can see in the case of a small, poor church who struggle to help others but in the case of the Catholic Church, Mormonism and Scientology, their vast wealth could help the world instead of being hoarded.
At the risk of sounding Trumpian, can we build a wall around conservative led provinces? They've thrown in the towel regarding covid so they can keep it to themselves.
How the hell are Trumps approval ratings up for the handing of covid 19? He's been a complete disaster and it's only getting worse. What is wrong with people?
Does anyone else out there suffering from anxiety find their symptoms are worse? PTSD I thought I had a handle on is coming back. All day I'm on the edge of a panic attack and at night I wake with screaming night terrors. All my Dr can do is a phone consult and meds she forgot /1
I'm so sick of men telling me they preferred my hair when it was down to my ass. They feel free to tell me this. Fuck them, it's mine and I'll do as I please. Tomorrow it get's completely shaved and if they don't like it, too damn bad.

I'd love to see a poll of Canadians asking how many of us are sick to death of Alberta having collective entitled tantrums. People, your damn cowboy hats are on too tight.
@JessPected
So true. Just look at the way they're responding to the story of the French woman being raped. A lot of "not all men" and even a fair amount of "women need to choose better" but not much in the way of the horror and disgust expressed by women. Not a lot of compassion either.
@ask_aubry
Apparently women are supposed to accept the first random dude who comes along. She will then be blamed for choosing the wrong man when things go wrong "this is on you, you should have been more choosy". There is no winning with them. I'd take the bear.
Can governments please make mask wearing mandatory? I went to the store yesterday and only about 10% of shoppers were masked and some were giving dirty looks to those of us who were. Enough already.
What the hell happened to the hippy generation like my parents who were so worried about the earth and ecology? They turned into people who are now angry at Greta and worried about 'muh investments' and screw the planet and their grand kids, so long as they make a few more $$$
I see
#AlbertaStrong
is trending because their so happy that some vigilante thugs were allowed by the RCMP to harass protester and take part of their camp away. You're an embarrassment to this country and you deserve whatever the UPC do to you.
I went to Shoppers Drug Mart and the liquor store earlier and I was shocked at how few people were wearing masks and practicing social distancing. What is the matter with people.
How is the right always so wrong? About everything? I see no redeeming qualities in the modern conservative movement. Cold, cruel, mean, out of touch, ruthlessness, and completely incapable of humor. I bet dogs hate them. Always a major red flag.
Trump's painfully stupid son went on Faux news and said how wonderful it is to finally be able to say "Merry Christmas" again. With a straight face. And it all thanks to his daddy. We;re people being ticketed or jailed for saying it? Do these people ever stop lying?
Why is it that the public are expected to prop up the dying oil and gas industry and their employees? No other business which was faced with extinction has ever receive this kind of care. When cars tool over for carriages, no one demanded that money be spent to keep them afloat.
@J_Motoki
Third degree burns all over the back of my hand and lower arm from a grease spill at work. They got infected and the pain was so intense I considered ending it all. I've broken bones, been stabbed, given birth and had kidney stones and I have a high tolerance but that was bad.
@Death2Misogyny
All they have to do is do better but instead they've been doubling down with their hatred and threats of violence. This is entirely on them.
Found out today that hubby has bladder cancer. The doctor says it's very treatable, but we're still worried. He's finally sleeping and I've had a few drinks and something else because I need to be numb
Why is it that as women we frequently have to invoke a phantom boyfriend or husband in order to make a man finally stop bothering us? Our first "sorry, not interest" should be enough without bringing another make into it.
@SocietyQueen999
Yikes, how very Christian of him. I read this out to a friend who is not very online and he was shocked that someone would just say that to another person. Poor sweet summer child.
I see on CBC that a large rate of anti-vaxx idiots are causing a measles risk.I'm so over these morons. Get vaxxed or don't leave your home. Keep your plague rats behind closed doors, home school, order everything you need delivered. Your children are a public health risk.
Hubby will be going into surgery at any moment and my hands are shaking on the keyboard. I've been an atheist for longer than I can remember, but I also reflectively said a prayer. Old habits die hard.
I really don't understand young conservatives. They confuse me. It's weird that young people would want to live in a time before their parents were even born, seeing as most of them idealize the 50's. Note to conservatives, it wasn't that great for everyone.
To all the dudes out there who are so upset about trans women in sports, why did you never care about women's sports before? You are the ones who don't think women should be paid the same or have equal access to training etc. Admit it, you don't care about women's sports at all.
@emrazz
Good point. If good men don''t want to get dragged down with the jerks, they need to break ranks and start calling out the bad behavior instead of laughing uncomfortably along.
Dear
@Twitter
, it's time to ban openly misogynist accounts and those who glorify hatred and pedophilia. Women are half your users and we demand better for ourselves and our daughters. If these men want to shout hate, let then do it on a street corner and see how people like it.
It seems that the MAGA crowd are buying the party line that corona virus is not a big deal and possibly a hoax. I'm starting to wonder if these people would jump off a cliff if their dear leader told them to.
@MaestroMorgan17
Did some Bat signal go off and alert these misogynists? They have no idea what it's like to carry that weight. The man who said she lost her greatest asset is particularly vile along with the man who said she was now a "2". I choose
#TeamBear
every time.
@ask_aubry
Wow, he went from zero to psycho in 1 second. The whole obsession with looks is pure projection on men's part. Women tend to be far less concerned with looks and youth than men. It's not uncommon to see an attractive woman with a homely man but I never see the opposite.
Can anyone give me one good reason why men should have an input on abortion when strange women having control over their own bodies has nothing to do with them?
@merry123459
Shouldn't the media have run with his mug shot? I really feel that if he'd been a minority they would have got hold of the scary mug shot. Nope. Smiling pick of the poor misunderstood would be assassin. Our media suck.
It would be nice if the media would start calling the anti-mask protesters "anti-public health protesters" and mocking them openly. The deserve the shamed and laughed at.
Seeing as it's almost 2020 can we please, please put the princess stereotype for little girls to rest for good? Teaching girls to obsess over clothing and wait for their prince to come was old and nauseating when I was a kid, now it really doesn't fit.
Today I learned there is a thing called the "Vancouver Island Cleavage Patrol" who harass women in media for showing what they think is too much cleavage. Can we please stop policing women's bodies and clothing?
Just found out that my local grocery store has 'sensory friendly' shopping hours. Lower lights, no announcements and less noise. Wonderful. Potentially stress free shopping.
