Really? CB just did. That's why I don't think he is conservative in his thinking. Most Conservatives aren't and it shows whenever and wherever they form a government.

Supporting the military is inherently left wing because it's authoritarian and therefore no small-c (or true) conservative should support it, but the big-c Conservative brand is just whatever the party says is on its platform and so in that respect, most people on this site (including CDN) support that platform and whatever feeble anti-ISIS mission that would entail.

lol, the other guy that thinks I'm a Conservative chimes in.

It's funny how the only two people certain I'm a Conservative are the two guys whose ego I bruise regularly, lol.

Most of the political discussion on this forum is between people that support different political party's. The political ideologies are really not that different. You are one of the worst. You seem to think Ralph Klein was some extreme right-wing politician when his record clearly shows he was not. The biggest complaints the Liberal and Dipper supporters had about him is that he slashed spending to social programs. In reality he just brought them closer in line with the rest of the country. I've mentioned the abolishment of local volunteer lottery boards in favour of a large AGLC bureaucracy as one of his notorious left wing ideas. There was little benefit to taxpayers (in fact it was a disaster) but it did centralize control which is something the left loves

No I just think Ralph was stupid for putting all focus on balancing the budget.

It's clear that his agenda only reinforced Alberta's economic development primarily in one industry.

The budget balanced itself (as the Trudeau-ites love to say) just by bringing a little sanity back to government. The Conservatives of the 1970's and 1980's spent money like drunken sailors on shore leave. It was nothing short of vote buying. Every two-bit town in Alberta had a provincial building full of government offices or a hospital and sometimes both. Government services in Alberta today are no better or worse than any other province in Canada. The provincial government does have a lot more control of the dollars though.

She's the leader of one of the most influential provinces in one of the wealthiest countries on the planet. If she's a "failure", what does that make you?

ETA

Never mind. I forgot. You're disadvantaged

It was a difficult question and probably a bit embarrassing. Seriously though, if you consider her a failure with her achievements, what is your opinion when you look in the mirror?

See post #63. Apparently, CB thinks achieving the office of Premier of Alberta is not the least bit impressive. Do you agree?

Ya ya ya ya...we know. It's difficult for you to look in the mirror.

Yes, but something not easily achieved by a failure



I don't disagree. Look, I think Albertans are going to pay dearly for electing the Dipper government. If you want to say that the Dipper policies are a failure, that's one thing but to say Rachel is a failure, that's laughable. Clearly my question embarrassed CB. Otherwise he would just list his accomplishments that put Rachel to shame

So then we agree that winning an election is a personal achievement. I guess where we disagree is that you think the word "achievement" means "failure". That probably stems from your lack of education, being disadvantage and all

I think there is enough people here that understand you have a difficult time expressing yourself in a clear and concise manner. Perhaps you should take that into account and think before you post. I can accept that you didn't really mean that Rachel was a failure. I've read enough of your posts to see your limitations and you have admitted yourself that your disadvantaged so let's just agree you made a mistake. Far from being a failure, Rachel has accomplished a hell of a lot more than you have but it's yet to be determined whether you're a failure

Your failure is noted

This just in, CB says Rachel is a rousing success.… You just have to understand the context

Trudeau would be proud, depending on the context of course.

You're so silly. I've never said you're conservative. You're a Conservative, of that there is no doubt. I fully realize you don't understand the difference but that's OK. I just chalk it up to your disadvantaged position. Someday we need may be able to help you

In what context?

You clearly don't understand the context behind O'leary's statements



Don't be silly. CB supports and has supported the Conservatives. He's so blinded by party politics he thinks Notley is a failure.

Not if you're CB or the Capt...but I'm not sure of the context of their statements. From my perspective, she wanted to get elected and she did. She is, therefore, successful. Maybe that's all she really cares about.

It's good that he's doing a good job considering he didn't want the job

ETA

I guess if he didn't want the job but ended up getting it, he failed in his goal....just like Rachel
He's made it about me. I'm clearly in his head.
Bwaaahahaha!

Salty Guy Circling as key Conservatives test Tory leadership waters

"I thought at some point, someone is going to say to me, if you can be such a critic, why don't you do better? Why don't you try it?" O'Leary told CBC News. "I thought to myself, hmmm, maybe I should."

Not surprisingly, O'Leary said his main motivation for considering a leadership run is the economy.

"Every word that comes out of a politician's mouth, including mine, should I elect to go for this, is how does it create the next incremental job," he said. "That's what I care about."

The businessman admits he's a polarizing figure, but argues he's just telling the truth. If that sounds like someone running for the top job south of the border, it should. O'Leary freely acknowledges he is inspired by the campaign success of Donald Trump.

"I know Trump. I know his family. I've watched him work. I think he's smart as a fox," he said, adding that Trump's approach to politics taps into a growing fatigue with politicians in general coupled with a desire for better management.

Typical slobbering Liberal trying to Label someone ...

As a "Canadian Trump" at least he is successful in business and probably has 100 X the money the idiots on this forum have..

He would make a better PM than the idiot boy we have currently.

Well he did insult one of their prophet's. So you know he'll be viewed as a heretic and pilloried for his heresy. Thankfully we don't allow burning at the stake any more.
