Not what I meant. I meant that you keep threatening to trash the Vive site too. You've done it several times now.
Here's the thing you are so upset about. Notice that doesn't mention any of your aliases or refer to the Talk On site. Notice that it is about all red-necked Albertans, not just you. Anyway, here it is:
Okay, I just went of on some Albertan. He was whinging. He wasn't just whinging, he hit that tone that only somebody else's two year old girl can hit when you wake up on a couch in strange house after a three day drunk and all your money is gone and all you have in your pocket is two white crosses and one benny and something that might have been a joint at some point and your head is pounding and your knees are rattling and you ask the kid for one of her mom's smokes and she goes EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
And that really is Alberta of late, isn't it? They are the richest province around, not through fiscal prudence or careful management or even taking care to elect somebody who shows up to work sober. Nope, they got to be the richest province around because they have oil and the rest of us have been pouring frigging money into the damned oil sands since before I was allowed to even steer a tractor. They're happy when we suck the poison their wealth is built on and they've made it pretty damned clear that they'd watch us choke before they gave up one red cent they weren't forced to.
We're supposed to feel sorry for them because of the NEP though. Most of them weren't even born when the NEP came in. Most of those that were born have moved to Alberta from someplace else. Most of them don't even know what NEP stands for. You mention word about federalism or taxes ar not killing people for money and the scream goes up. They look like one of Buffy's pals holding a cross up and screaming for help.
NEP stands for National Energy Program (I knew you were wondering). It was brought in because the US and Britain managed to piss the oil producing countries off enough that they decided to make us squirm a bit. So Trudeau decided that all those people in Quebec likely didn't deserve to die...at least not before they got a chance to vote for him.
We did squirm though, just like the OPEC boys wanted. We squirmed so much that the feds (that's the rest of us, not just Alberta) poured billions into the tarsands and a pipeline or two. We squirmed so much that when I was sixteen years old I was able to buy huge cars with monstrous V-8s in them for pocket money. Working people didn't want them, they cost too much to drive.
So now there's something else making us squirm. It turns out that the poison that fuels Alberta's wealth doesn't just choke us, it's also buggering the climate. Alberta itself will be desert in 100 years or so. the portions of Jesusland that they worship will look like the friggin' Gobi. Not even camels and lizards will move down there.
Not only don't they care, but they've decided to blame the rest of us. We're just ripping them off. We've made this whole thing up. We've taken the time to bribe every reputable scientist on earth and falsify data going back millenia because we want to screw Alberta over.
So I kind of lost it on this dim-witted red-necked fool. Why not? I hadn't used the f-word that many times in so short a time for ages.
I've listened to enough of this belligerent crap from half-bright cowboys to last me a lifetime. They are the same proud bastards that will stumble to a mountain creek first thing in the morning and scoop the water up and gloat about how pure it is.
Piss on that. They want to kill our environment for their own profit and never give a penny back. I don't think so.
