Moe is a nightmare and a hardcore bigot.

Absolutely unfair, not fair like violating the charter rights of children by making it a law to purposely misgender them.

Fuck this Hank Hill look-a-like shitbag.

People often refer to him as DUI Hank (Hill), because he killed someone by running a stop sign, under the influence in the 90’s

Great quote of the son of the woman killed “You have to forgive a person for being who they are.” So much more brutal than swearing.

Timeline of events in Alberta:

  • The Alberta provincial NDP bring in a provincial carbon tax, exempting them from the federal carbon tax.
  • The Conservatives win the next election.
  • The Conservative government scraps the provincial carbon tax, forcing Alberta back onto the federal tax.
  • The federal government starts fucking with the carbon tax (who could have seen this coming?).
  • Alberta’s Conservative government teams up with Sask to bitch about how unfair the federal carbon tax is.

Completely unexpected turn of events, folks.

And Alberta will vote Conservative 99% of the time, unaware that they’ve done more harm than good.

They’ve been softened up by christofascist propaganda for so long, there’s no way out.

Because they are the party of oil and gas. And because the party of oil and gas has spent the last few decades tying every aspect of Albertan quality of life to O&G profits. The great circle of sludge.

Remember how Lougheed won the province from the NDP originally.

It wasn’t through dinosaur juice.

For non Albertans would you mind telling us how? They are pretty much the only province that seems to consistently vote against their own interests for decades
