Albertistan is OK.... Bump the price of a bbl another 4 or 5 dollars and things will be that much brighter.

I wonder why. When it didn't snow until January and melted in March in the 90s it was because of global warming, when it snows in October and stays unt May today it's because of global warming.
I hear ya.
In the event we get a heavy snow pack this year, it will be more in line with what was generally expected in Southern AB for generations.

Even when it gets colder than Mars it's because of global warming.
Snow in Metro Van in October is because of global warming

Take the catalytic converter off your truck so you have good old fashioned CO and SO2 emissions instead of CO2 and H2O.
Problem solved.
Problem solved.
Yes, that's exactly what I said. :roll: Way to be part of the problem by ignoring the elephant in the room.
4% of Black people killed in a year are killed by cops. 90% of Black people killed in a year are killed by other Black people. Yet the media and morons like Kaepernick want to make it a race issue when it obviously isn't a race issue.
Ever notice how it doesn't matter what race the cop is that does the shooting? White cop, Black cop, Asian cop, Hispanic cop, Native American cop doesn't matter. If the victim is Black then it's all Whitey's fault and a clear cut case of racism.
Ever notice the sound of crickets coming from the MSM whenever someone who isn't Black is shot by the cops? On the day Alton Stirling was killed, police across the US killed 6 other people, none of whom were Black. And where was the MSM? Focusing entirely on the one Black person killed that day. Did you hear anything at all about the other 6 people? How about Dillon Taylor? Less than a week after Michael Brown was killed in Ferguson, Dillon Taylor was shot and killed by a Black cop who was cleared of any wrong-doing by the State's D.A. Dillon Taylor was not a suspect, was not the reason police were on scene and was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. How much did you hear about Dillon Taylor's murder while the MSM, O'Bumwad, Eric Holder, Al Sharpton, the ALA and the usual gang of race-baiting idiots were railing about a lack of justice for Brown?
Plenty of non-Blacks have been unjustifiably murdered by the cops who then get off any charges whether from a State D.A. or a grand jury. Funny how nobody pisses and moans about the lack of justice for them, eh?
But what's REALLY interesting about all this kneeling protest bullshit is the timing. I guess cops weren't killing any Black people at all during the 8 years O'Bumwad was in office. Nope, apparently those injustices didn't begin until Trump took office.
Kaepernick is nothing more than a dupe for the neo-liberal progtards. I mean c'mon! How f*cking cluelessly stupid do you have to be to whine to the media about oppression while sporting a Che T-shirt?
As I said previously, the fact that he wears that stupid thing pretty much negates any whining he's doing about "oppression". That dumb f*ck obviously doesn't know what real oppression is. He's just another loser who's latched onto the victim industry.
And again, since you seem soooooo concerned about racism, why does the NFL allow this kind of display when they have very recently put the kibosh on any similar displays from NFL players on the field? Want to display a symbol supporting the 5 cops who gunned down in Dallas? Not a chance. Want to wear funky coloured shoelaces to bring attention to a children's charity you support? Go to hell. Want to show your utter disrespect for the flag, anthem and country, a country that let's people, regardless of race, make millions of dollars a year just to play a game? Well hell, the NFL will happily provide the platform for your little display.
At this point, one can only reach one of two conclusions. The NFL leadership is either racist, or a bunch of gutless cowards afraid of being falsely accused of being racists. Personally, I think it's the latter.
So we should just ignore unarmed black men and children killed by the cops.
OK, well that's easy enough.
Far more Americans and Canadians are killed by other Americans and Canadians than by Muslim jihadis, so we should ignore Muslim jihadis.
It's the status quo playbook:
1. Deny that a problem exists.
2. Deny that "we" had anything to do with it.
3. Deny that there's anything "we" can do to fix or ameliorate it (while at the same time claiming "we" have already done enough to fix or ameliorate it).
4. Claim there are bigger, more important problems, implying that "we" or the government are not capable of addressing more than one issue at a time.
5. Shout "Great Scot, turtles!" and point urgently.
You'll note the same response to global warming.
The self-proclaimed progressives have a different tactic, which basically consists of doubling down on failed policies.
Shouldn't you be working on those budgets that balance themselves?
The solution is to raise awareness by not generating functional solutions.
After all, how can someone generate charitable contributions in perpetuity if the problem is solved?
To some extent, I have already answered. There are other answers, too. But as regards the proposition that you're actually interested, go tell it to the Marines.
Yep, that's all they're after. Just like Martin Luther King.
