#or are they not albertans?

Mrs. Petrovic: Madam Speaker, Trudeau and his continued mission to further encroach into the lives of Albertans is ignoring the voices of us in this matter. That is why Bill 204 is a necessary piece of legislation to make sure Albertans will be heard loud and clear. This is not just a hypothetical concern, either. Last August the city of Edmonton council voted 10 to 3 in favour of moving forward with a plan to potentially establish a national urban park in Edmonton’s river valley. This is not what Albertans want. From my experience leading a municipality as a former mayor, I can attest that this is not the approach Albertans want.

I don't think it was ever said what province Rodney was from, so my prompt is: What would be the funniest place in Canada for Rodney to be from?

okay so while i do fundamentally believe rodney is from alberta it's HILARIOUS to think about what rodney would be like if he was from other provinces and quite frankly all the options are good (imagine how much more of an asshole he'd be if he was from ontario 😭😭😭 or british columbia omg stoner mckay) and i think the two best options boil down to either manitoba or newfoundland and labrador

newfie rodney would be so fucking funny the accent alone is enough to make me cry laughing omg if you haven't heard the newfie accent please look it up and imagine rodney talking like that also he absolutely would joke about "upgrading to kissing whales" during/after grace under pressure also unrelated to anything but i think newfie rodney would love oatmeal raisin cookies (bc my papa did and he was newfie)

now manitoba rodney would be funny in a different way bc he would be SO fucking unhinged like. manitoba is just Like That and all i can picture is a rodney mckay with a criminal record (that he swears is unjustified because really who cares if he wants to break into an old abandoned warehouse to practice questionably legal science anyways) in a wife beater who could make a functioning time machine with three sticks of hot glue and six copper wires (that he stole from the annoying neighbour down the street)

I would jump on the trend to draw miku from your culture if cowboy hats weren’t nearly as miserable to draw

Work is implementing this new thing where when they need officers in the small skeleton crew airports (like if someone goes on vacation or sick leave and needs coverage) they'll ask those of us in the major ones who wants to go for however long they need people and then we'll get flown out with a free hotel stay instead of trying to hire and retrain whole new officers for temporary positions. Sounded like a good way to break the monotony and then I saw the sign up board and it's currently only for grande prairie and lloydminster. Good god no

The group behind an insurgency taking over the United Conservative Party and working to get Danielle Smith elected is alarming many Albertans with their aggressive tactics, and raising questions about their political agenda – including from conservatives. Take Back Alberta grew out of last year’s convoy blockade in Coutts when hundreds of vehicles blocked the Canada-US border. The Coutts blockade later hardened into an organized movement made up of Christian nationalists, separatists, sovereigntists and other disgruntled rural Albertans bent on ousting Jason Kenney and taking control of the United Conservative Party.

Danielle Smith now enjoys the full support of the group which credits itself for bringing down Kenney during his 2022 leadership review and installing Smith as Premier of Alberta. Take Back Alberta has also taken over nine seats on the party’s board and a number of regional boards to get like-minded members in the nomination races.

I'm wary of interacting with Marvel shit rn (plus I haven't seen the new Deadpool movie..) but I will genuinely throw everything out the window and write for Logan if I'm forced to read another American ass Reader/Wolverine.
