Bookworm 1979

A pet peeve of mine: making fun of the younger generations for not knowing how to do certain things because the OLDER generation decided not to teach them (like cursive writing or being able to tell time on analog clock).

I had to look up all of those words. I was pretty sure I knew what bigamist and gable were, but I wanted to be sure. I've never heard of the word "palatial" in my life. Oh, and I used to read a LOT. There's still a lot of word I don't know.

I think the honeymoon period is over.

Conservatives have been "joking" about killing Justin Trudeau for years. I saw a picture of a doll they made, put his face on it, and then hung it from a noose. They thought it was funny. If my side made that joke about PP, the conservatives would be out for blood. The hypocrisy is strong with that bunch.

Nope-she's evil. I hope Albertans vote her out in the next election, but I doubt they will.

I just saw an article about a conservative candidate in Ontario who's had to drop out of the race over a comment he made about Justin Trudeau deserving the death penalty. And here in Alberta the UCP government voted to cut the funding for snacks for kids undergoing cancer treatments. (Sorry, that may have been mentioned here already.) But yes, please explain to me how conservatives are the party of "family values"!

Are you in Alberta? I've seen both of those stickers around here.

I live in rural Alberta, and I work with quite a few Maple Magas. I try not to engage in any politics talk with them, because they will give you a hard time if they find out you're not conservative, which is hilarious because we are a union workplace and I know the conservatives would work to demolish every union if they could. Oh well, no one said conservatives are smart. I also don't think there are any liberal candidates in my riding, so I'm going to have to vote NDP. I like the NDP, but I know there's no way they'll get the prime minister seat, so now I feel like I'm throwing my vote away. I wish I could vote for the person and not the party!

If you ever want to watch a good live action adaptation of Snow White, go to YouTube and look up Snow white at Radio City Music Hall 1980. You can't find it on video anymore, sadly. When I was a kid I watched this all the time.

Albertan here. Danielle Smith, our premier (and traitor to Canada) just did an interview with some right-wing radio program asking Trump to stop the tariffs until after the election so Timbit Trump can win. She has said that his political views align more with Trump's. If Canada votes for PP, we're no better than the USA. I am really scared that Musk is going to rig our election. Danielle Smith would definitely help him to do that.

Thank you! I am so sick of the excuses, "They didn't vote at all, but at least they didn't vote for Trump". If my husband gave me that excuse I'd show him the door.

I would never compare someone losing a sibling, or parent, or whatever to the death of a pet, but I would hope that someday (hopefully far, far in the future) when my cat finally passes, no one will say to me, "Why are you so upset? It was just a cat". I love my cat more than most people, including some family members.

I'm just making sure you didn't misread my post-my husband hates Donald Trump, Vance, Danielle Smith, and PP! 🙂Being disabled probably has something to do with it, we all know how they feel about the disabled.

Albertans are brainwashed. They'll cheer her on. Not ALL Albertans, mind you, but it feels like the majority love her. Keep in mind, I am in small town Alberta, so I keep telling myself it only feels like the majority because I'm surrounded by by Maple MAGA.

My husband has already seen "F*** Carney" T-shirts, so they're just moving their hatred along to the next guy. I'm Canadian, but if my husband told me he liked Trump and Vance, we would be done. I'm not kidding. I would leave him ASAP. I'm lucky our political view align, but that's one of the reasons I love him (not easy to find a good, decent, non-conservative guy in MAGA Alberta).
