Alberta will hold a referendum on whether the province should remain in Canada or move ahead with a second binding vote on separation, marking the first significant test of the country's unity in decades.
Thursday's announcement by Premier Danielle Smith comes after a citizen-led petition calling for separation gathered more than 300,000 signatures early this year and a separate petition advocating that Alberta stay gathered more than 400,000.
A restive independence movement has been growing in the oil-rich province, built on a long-held sense that Alberta is overlooked by decision-makers in Ottawa.
Thing is, what after that? Stay an independent territory of England, become a seperate, new country? Or - the one I know Trump'd want but I don't - they become a new State with us. 50's a good number. Let it rest there. If they wanna be an American territory like Guam or Puerto Rico, maybe. Just maybe.

Back in the day, my Uncle Carmine owned a bar, and my Aunt Geraldine - his wife - convinced him it'd be a good idea if he bought a little kiln and let her start a little 'ceramics club' in the back room of the bar. My Mother and most of my 11 Aunts all went every Wednesday night and fucked around making stuff and drinking wine for a coupla hours. Their little club actually stayed together for a good coupla years - long after the kiln broke and got tossed, if ya catch my drift.
Anyway, while they were still putzing around with the ceramics stuff, my mother made this for me for my apartment (which was around the corner from our family house, but that's another story).
That was 50 years ago this summer. I still have it to this day. It's travelled with me wherever I've moved. Helluva story, huh?

Just when you think you've heard the craziest shit you can possibly think of, along comes a story like this. An out-of-control, caught-on-camera brawl broke out between families over seating at a Catholic school’s kindergarten graduation in Ohio on Thursday, sending one woman to the hospital and another to jail. Chaos ensued at the Queen of Apostles School in Toledo, Ohio Thursday morning when one family reportedly began hoarding rows of seats for themselves.

Jeffries is a stone-cold racist, and proves it damn near every time he opens his mouth. As for leadership, maybe that explains why the Dumocrat party is as fucked up as it is.
As for Lan Freboschlitz, she's nothing but a washed-up old prune of a leftie liberal lesbian who has no bearing on anything, and is even more irrelevant today as she was back in the 80's when she was originally irrelevant. Didn't even know she was alive. Don't give a fuck one way or another about either of them.

Europe is dealing with a full-blown sexual health crisis as cases of gonorrhea and syphilis skyrocket to unprecedented levels, shocking new data show.
The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) revealed the continent is in the grips of a dirty STI explosion not seen in over a decade.

This cracks me up a bit. Bennett is a leftie editorial cartoonist, and he's good at what he does, but this one misses the mark by a country mile. He wants to say political shit forced Colbert off the air, and he's sorta right, but not in the way he thinks he is.
It was Clobert's incessant attacks on Trump and the right - along with his geniune snarkiness and lack of any material that was actually funny that caused his show to be cancelled.
We know that - I wonder of he does.. Juss' sayin'...

The longer Trump keeps fucking up the country with stupid wars, out of control prices and stupid ballrooms the more the "I'm not Trump argument" makes sense.
ReplyDeleteRight now 70% of the country are looking for someone not named Trump and every day he keeps fucking around more people start thinking the the "I'm not Trump" is a great argument.
Don't talk about all the good Trump has done. Get off CNN and THE View.
DeleteIf Trump had closed the border and gone golfing/naming shit after himself republicans would be keeping the house and senate. Instead he raised our taxes (tariffs) and started a stupid war for no reason.
DeleteYou do realize that the ballroom is privately financed through donations?
DeleteWasn't Fawn Leibowitz the coed killed in that kiln explosion in Animal House?
ReplyDeleteTrade Hawaii which is incompatible with the mainland for Alberta.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what the outcome was of that woman who got run over by her own car? Did she survive?
ReplyDeleteA couple of bumps and scratches that's it
DeleteAlberta has oil. Lots of oil. And grain.
ReplyDeleteBut do we want Albertans? They are still liberal Canucks who would probably vote Democratic. We don't need to sabotage ourselves with that kind of political disruption.
ReplyDeleteNow, if we could buy Alberta oil without helping the Commie Canucks ... so an independent Alberta, not part of the USA. That would work.
Joe, is that Bab's black skirt you have on in the picture, bet you didn't think anyone would notice!
