Just heard on C.B.C. radio that the electorate may not be quite as enamoured with Deborah Drever as some are, or quite as forgiving as Rachel Notley.

Did she get suspended or tossed out of the party.. I've heard conflicting stories.

I hope Deborah Drever gets the boot.

Whenever you have huge party turnovers, you always get a few iffy people in the backbenches. And the sad pathetic losers of that election make a big stink about some mildly objectionable nonsense those nobodies made years ago. Good for you guys. You've figured out the internet. We won't have to mine your corpses for fossil fuels after all. So far as I know, Alberta has no laws for recalling MLAs. They should. And if the Drever's constituents feel a little voters' remorse, they should be able to recall her.

That said, I would have voted for her.

I think Notley did the right thing, put her on hold for a year and give her a chance to get back in the good with the offended parties. I'm in agreement that if she really understands the errors of her ways, she should have a chance. Whether the electorate buys that is another thing. Meanwhile she'll sit as an independent.

I never realized Prentice is gay- not that there is anything wrong with that!

Not happy with that.. sure the homophobia is a concern as it happened during the election, however giving Canada the middle finger..

The pot smoking could give a rats azz..

Why, are you looking for a date?

Nah, the wife wouldn't like it!

Yes, we all know that, that's because you're a morally bankrupt stupid piece of sh*t.

I personally take offense at that remark. Aren't people allowed their own opinions? Is it necessary to make an enemy of a person (as a few do) because opinions don't coincide. Can you not say "I disagree" and leave it at that?

Could care less how you feel JLM, you never come to my defense when that Cordory talks to me in the same manner, calling me stupid because she doesn't agree with my posts..

I don't care what she thinks..

...and if she is willing to claim she would opening vote for an individual who gives the middle finger to Canada and who is openly Homophobic.. then she is stupid and a hypocrite.

All aspiring politicians should know that you do and say anything but two things. You can lie. You can cheat. You can make racist comments. You can smoke weed. You can even go around smoking crack with gangsters. You can make fun of rape. You can make preposterous claims about crosses being burned on lawns in Prince George as we speak.

There are so many other things you can do and say, but you cannot under any circumstances make Islamophobic or homophobic remarks. Anyone who does so will be suspended by their party no matter how young and inexperienced they are.

Yep, until the electorate decides to disapprove.

Sorry, I guess I missed the remarks Corduroy made to you that were in the same vein as the one you made to her. If she did, I retract my statement.

When someone like that insults me, I take it as a compliment. It's like when you get a thumbs down from Walter. You know you've done something right. I'm not at all interested in the moral estimation of someone who thinks flipping off the Canadian flag is a moral offense. Someone like that doesn't need to be taken seriously. Don't be offended for me.

Oh, I'm well aware you have a pretty tough hide, Corduroy- when he does this stuff he makes himself look worse than he makes you look. Like Gerry and one or two others he should know better. He said he was just using the same language to you as you use to him which I missed. Speaking of Walter, there's a method to his madness and he's not actually QUITE as dumb as some take him for. :)

And you would be wrong again. The last federal election was Aug 2012. And Harper has been elected to The House for over 12 years now.

And you'd be full of sh*t- the Election was held on May 2, 2011. Still can't figure out how this Oct 19 date got to be carved in stone. As far as I know they have a full 5 years!

Ya got me. May 2011. The 5 years is an election must be called within 5 years of the previous. So the "full" 5 years is not carved in stone. If the sitting majority government wants to call an election after 2 years, they can. Any time within the 5 years.
