Surfing over to the Calgary Herald website, it’s not a question of if, but rather of how many lies the paper’s editor Naomi Lakritz can tell in a single column. Her most recent drivel, however, takes the cake, because by falsifying facts that are clearly in evidence for everyone else to read up on, she implies that Albertans are too dumb to read.
Alberta Votes: Time for Albertans to have their IQ tested
The final week before the election promises to deliver entertainment for all. To be sure, there’s plenty to laugh at, and cry.
Alberta Votes: Redford fearmongering directly linked to wishes for death or murder of opponent
Left-wing PC leader Alison Redford is the textbook example of the kind of lefty everyone hates: feeding the public outrageous lies about political opponents, agitating public opinion, until a nutjob blows a gasket and says – or even does – something horrible.
Alberta Votes: Hunsperger case proves Redford to be intolerant of other views
Not long ago, at the height of the discussion about “conscience rights”, Alison Redford, leader of the left-wing PC party, claimed that she was tolerant of all views, no matter how diverse. It was columnist Lorne Gunter who called her out on that particular lie, saying Redford only tolerates other views when and to the extent they match hers.
Alberta Votes: PCs hate Alberta and Albertans – and themselves
Ezra Levant’s column on the “political suicide” the left-wing PCs are currently in the process of committing is spot on. As Levant explains, Alison Redford, who obviously doesn’t like Alberta and the good people of Alberta very much, has been running a campaign against Alberta – not unlike the federal campaigns of former Liberal prime ministers Jean Chrétien and Paul Martin.
Alberta Votes: The infirm, deranged and corrupt are out campaigning for Alison Redford – truth no longer a valid currency
It would take an unforeseen and major catastrophe of unprecedented proportion to prevent the Wildrose Alliance from winning the April 23 election at this point. The Wildrose has a more than comfortable lead, at least 17 points ahead of the left-wing PCs. Consequently, the prospect of a new government that is committed to responsible governance, democracy and accountability scares certain people.
Alberta Votes: Nothing wrong with standing up for Alberta
Who doesn’t remember the infamous “Firewall letter” in 2001, signed by Stephen Harper, Ted Morton and Tom Flanagan, calling for increased protections against the then-Liberal federal government? It was that letter that probably kept a lot of voters in Ontario and elsewhere from giving Harper the majority he sought so desperately throughout so many elections.
Alberta Votes: Smith and Mason emerge as clear winners of the debate
Albertans finally got to see all four party leaders in action, debating the burning issues in the run-up to the provincial election on April 23. There were no surprise announcements, only the usual barbs, insults and “mischaracterizations”.
Alberta Votes: Time to end equalization – handouts – for Canada’s laggards?
A Wildrose government in Alberta might be Canada’s safest bet to end the nonsense known as “equalization”, a system that forces enterprising and prosperous provinces to send their hard-earned money to Ottawa where it’s divvied up and sent to those provinces who don’t believe in working for one’s money, particularly Quebec.
Green embarrassment – no demand for electric car charging points
Still think that electric cars are the future?
Alberta Votes: Calgary mayor feels Wildrose is best bet
This bit of news is making unexpected waves today: Continue reading
Alberta Votes: Calgary Herald operating as PC’s “political action committee”?
I have filed a complaint with Elections Alberta over what I perceive to be a violation of the “third-party advertising” ban in effect in this province.
Read the text of my complaint below:
Alberta Votes: Albertans find Redford’s disregard for fiscal prudence frightful
When a self-proclaimed conservative like Alison Redford keeps telling voters how frightened she is by genuine conservatism and small government concepts, it should be clear that such a politician isn’t telling the truth about what and who she really is. When a business runs afoul of “truth in advertising” rules, it can face legal action, and so should political parties.
Alberta Votes: In an ideal world, parties that lie would be disqualified – that means you, Tories!
You know that the left-wing PCs are really hurting from the ongoing loss of supporters across the province – and that therefore one of the Calgary Herald‘s notorious fictional polls supposedly showing a drop in the support for the Wildrose and its leader, Danielle Smith, isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on, like the whole newspaper – when the party resorts to blatant lies.
