I’m proud to say that I’m a bookish brainiac who’s never cared about sports (doing or watching them) or being “cool”. As such, I’ve always related to Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s painful efforts of trying to appear cool or hip, when obviously that wasn’t in his repertoire – let alone his (or my) cup of tea.

Alberta Votes: Really, really scary – Alison REDford
Oh yes, real conservatives are so scary. That’s the line used by federal Liberals and other left-wing parties in the past against Stephen Harper. Of course, that doesn’t hold any water anymore, seeing how “Liberal Lite” Harper has become since taking the country’s reins in 2006.
Alberta Votes: Wildrose position on conscience rights is solid
The Wildrose Alliance has been accused – by the usual politically correct (read: mentally defective) suspects – of wanting to put Alberta back into the last century over “conscience rights“.
Alberta Votes: Redford thinks only she knows how to spend your money
Reading some of the media coverage of left-wing PC leader Alison Redford, one gets a sense of déjà vu – like when Calgary mayor Naheed Nenshi showed the first, substantial, signs of a mental breakdown.
Alberta Votes: On April 23, Wildrose Alliance is only viable choice
A few years ago, I attended a special event for former British prime minister Tony Blair. Then-Calgary mayor Dave Bronconnier got a full round of applause when he took to the podium. Ralph Klein was welcomed with equal enthusiasm, but Ed Stelmach earned himself a round of jeers and boos. Blair himself got a standing ovation. I knew then that the PC Tory brand was in trouble and that we were headed for another dynastic shift, of the kind that happens every few decades.
Alberta Votes: Redford wants to spend $3.4 billion on family care clinics
PC leader Alison Redford, never one too shy to spend taxpayers’ money, like any leftist, which she is, has promised to launch 140 family care clinics, at a cost of $3.4 billion, if elected.
Alberta Votes: Dividend cheques!
Remember when Alberta still had surpluses? That was back in the days when we had actual conservatives in government, instead of the current crop of tax-and-spend-and-put-in-their-own-pockets lefties that populate the PC party today. Former premier Ralph Klein, towards the end of political career, for example, shared some of the surplus with Albertans by sending them the now-famous “Ralphbucks cheques”.
US election: Ethnic pandering
Ethnic pandering, as practised by so many politicians, is never a good thing. When you run for public office, you must consider the welfare and well-being of all voters, not just of a specific group. But, unfortunately, in a multicultural society, some ethnic groups wield so much power that a good candidate may be shot down, thus allowing a minority, especially one that hasn’t fully integrated, to call the shots and decide the outcome of elections. Frankly, that is highly unacceptable.
My 2 Cents | Alberta Votes: Wildrose climbs in polls | MSM twit finally gets his comeuppance?
Wildrose Alliance continues to climb in the polls – the latest poll now puts Wildrose 13 percentage points ahead of the left-wing PC.
My 2 cents: Albertans are sick and tired of the left-wing PCs, their bullying, intimidation, lying and filling their pockets with taxpayers’ money. Good riddance.
Alberta Votes: A typical Redford mess
Alison Redford’s desperate announcement that her PC MLAs will be forced to pay back the full compensation they received for the so-called “no-meet” committee, rather than just the amounts received for the last few months, as she originally stated before calling the election, is just that: desperation.
Alberta Votes: Redford demonstrates her left-wing credentials yet again
My 2 cents: Premier Alison Redford can’t help herself, she just needs to prove to Albertans over and over again that she’s a left-winger, not a conservative. Her recent promise to pump $3 billion into “environmental” clean-up measures for the oil sands has rightly been called a “Soviet-style” approach. “Global warming” is a lie, a fairy tale cooked up by extreme left-wingers. Only people with single-digit IQs believe in this “religion” (for there’s absolutely zero science involved) – but Redford believes in it. Call it religious fanaticism.
Ontario Votes (?): Ontario voters should get a do-over
My 2 cents: Ontario premier Dalton McGuinty had withheld the truth about the economic and fiscal state of the province before having himself re-elected on a lie. With the provincial Tories already having decided that they will vote against the new budget, it’s now up to the NDP to follow through and vote against it too. Ontarians deserve a do-over of last fall’s election – only this time they will know the full truth, thanks to the Drummond report.
Alberta Votes: Alberta doesn’t need changing, except for its current government
Alison Redford is a “Clarkie”, a derogatory term applied to acolytes of former Canadian prime minister Joe Clark. Clark, who posed as a conservative, but was at heart a liberal, or something even further to the left, isn’t very popular in Alberta, and for good reason. Redford is also very close to the United Nations, an organization known for its anti-Semitism and complicity in pushing this century’s biggest left-wing lie, “man-made global warming”. In short, nothing Redford believes in or represents is compatible with Alberta and what this province stands for.
Alberta Votes: Wildrose leads, would win majority
The latest poll confirms what people have told me for the past two years: they’re sick and tired of left-wing PCs posing as conservatives: 41% would vote Wildrose, while support for the left-wing PCs has plummeted to 31%.
