BC NDP leader gets the weathervane treatment, and it’s brutal
That John Heaney photo, below, prompted some BC friends to send me a great video about John’s good pal, the BC NDP leader, John Horgan.
I always love a good weathervane ad. This one is particularly deadly. Brutal, even.
Punk rock makes for strange political bedfellows
Okay, my pal Brian Topp is coming home. That’s good for him and his family, not so good for Rachel Notley.
Her new top aide is a guy named John Heaney. Who is John Heaney, you ask? Well, he’s the young guy in the picture, to the far left (typical). In the centre (typical), wearing a dog collar, sleeveless homemade Sex Pistols shirt and snarling? That’s Your Humble Narrator. The young thugs pictured? The prairies’ first punk rock band, the Social Blemishes.
John Heaney (who went to both of my high schools, Bishop Carroll in Calgary and Loyola in Montreal), I apologize for embarrassing you in front of everyone important in Alberta, but you should’ve stuck with punk rock.
Trump Virus: now in Newmarket
A young woman is left troubled and worried for her safety after finding three ‘alt-right’ propaganda flyers posted around the parking lot of the Upper Canada Mall in Newmarket Monday.
The woman, who is bi-racial and in her early 20s, has asked not to be identified by name. She works two jobs at the mall. She uses public transit to get to work and after walking off the bus at the mall stop near Davis Drive Monday morning, she noticed a white flyer with black lettering taped to a tree. The flyer started with the phrase “Hey White People”, before posing a series of questions to the reader about political correctness, diversity meaning “less white” people, stopping immigration and being accused of racism for celebrating a person’s heritage.
The future of the Alberta NDP
…Alberta Liberal brothers and sisters, here we go!
I'm not saying it's impossible for @RachelNotley to be re-elected. I'm saying it's now TOTALLY impossible. #ableg https://t.co/WCfXnWAGZG

Merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah, festive Kwanzaa, and jolly holidays from Daisy Group! (Daisy Dogs Sloane and Roxy say hi, too.)
Dear Trump voters
Over the next four years – as you lose your health care, as your country’s environment is destroyed, as joblessness soars and the cost of everything rises, as your sons and daughters are being sent off to fight in wars declared by your president – know this: you deserve every bit of the misery and despair that you experience.
You did it to yourselves.
Oh, and this:
Nasty wall
Walked into Sonic Boom last night and saw this up on the wall. That was kind of cool.
You can get yours here, by the way. Excellent Christmas/Hanukkah present!
The Premiers: who is up and who is down
From Angus Reid Institute, here. The conservative ones are popular, perhaps a reflection of the times. Perhaps.
But there’s no correlation between newness or time in office, however: Wynne and her party have been there since 2003 – but Clark and her party have been in power since 2001. So it’s not that. In the former case, my hunch is that the albatross of hydro bills is turning into a noose.
Oh, and Angus Reid? Prince Edward Island is still a province, last time I checked. You hurt your credibility with those kinds of dumb omissions.
Anyway. Comments are open.
