This. This is why we all think Alberta is full of fucking morons...

You want us to stop treating you like inbred maga morons, stop fucking acting like it!

[–] Sdes01@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago

You can't argue with stupid.

Just ignore them.

That REALLY makes them angry.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

It's cool when the lies aren't even the slightest bit plausible.

[–] xzot746@sh.itjust.works 2 points 18 hours ago

She gets that from her hero TACO.

Go to the US and enjoy those living standards, ya twat. Danielle is a useless waste of flesh.

[–] Darkonion@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

She does realize she has a majority government and is fully responsible for the current status (whatever that may be)? If she is so incapable in doing her job that the relative quality of life has dropped to such a degree, perhaps she should deport herself into the sun.

[–] isekaihero@ani.social 3 points 23 hours ago

Canada has it pretty bad if they're worse off than Somalia or North Korea. Canada should really consider joining the USA so we can improve their quality of life.

[–] canajac@lemmy.ca 3 points 23 hours ago

Oh shut the fuck up you grumpy old hag!! Who needs this traitor amoung us? Nobody but her Drumpf sycophants.

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I get that these people lie and people believe it. But these completely outrageous statements just doesn't make sense to me. Is anyone looking at canada thinking: wow, it's crazy to believe to no one has it worse than them

[–] OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

She probably doesn't include "shithole countries" in her world view

The lies happen so often I don’t know what to do with them anymore.

[–] bufalo1973@europe.pub 21 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I don't know who she is but let me guess: far-right.

I think that because we have the same problem in Spain. According to the far-right Spain is worst than Somalia.

Someone replied to you using her legal name Marliana Smith. If you curious as to why, she brought forward a law designed to hurt transgendered children, to require parental consent for schools to call them anything but their first name. Since she doesn't even go by her first name, some people now refuse to call her by her middle name, which she prefers.

She's financed by oil companies, a hypocrite, a liar, and rallies her voters by creating imaginary enemies out of "the other",. A very prototypical far-right politician.

[–] Pilferjinx@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

She's a competent MapleMaga a secessionist. She's demanding that her land locked province gain pipeline access across Canada or they're leaving the federation.

[–] radiofreebc@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Marlaina Smith is a traitor to Canada, and should be put in prison.

[–] ieGod@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'd hardly call her competent. Her base is simply stupid.

[–] Pilferjinx@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Her base is stupid for sure. It's her oratorial skills that are competent. She says all the right things but her actions are in direct conflict with them.

[–] tehn00bi@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Who did she use as her baseline? McDavid?

[–] Routhinator@startrek.website 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

If we're going to compare to specific states, then we should be comparing to specific provinces. How's Alberta compare against other provinces, I wonder?

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 1 points 21 hours ago

No, you're right. I misread it! πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ

[–] TheBloodFarts@lemmy.ca 34 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Ironic seeing as she's the one actively lowering Albertans' living standards

[–] droopy4096@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago

Here's the pattern as practiced by POTUS47, PP, Putin and Smith: describe all of your shortcomings and failures but pin it on the opposite side and you're golden as nobody can blame you back in that same sh#t. Or so the thinking goes

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 68 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Maybe she should move to South Sudan or Somalia if we’re so much worse off than them.

[–] voracitude@lemmy.world 37 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Really don't have to go as far as all that, the US is a pretty glaring example of poor living standards. Going to the doctor won't bankrupt your citizens, for one thing.

[–] cyborganism@piefed.ca 27 points 2 days ago (1 children)

LOL the U.S. is her prime example of paradise

[–] datavoid@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 day ago

Will no one think of the freedoms?!?!

Her constant need to create division and outrage is exhausting.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 49 points 2 days ago

Just gotta love how lying is the bread and butter for Christians and conservatives

[–] gtownjim@piefed.ca 47 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Alberta politicians have some of the lowest IQ in the 🌎

No, that would be the people that vote for them every single election.

[–] LostWon@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Well you see, she's really talking about millionaire and billionaire comforts in Canada as compared to rich people in other parts of the world. They have it so, so much worse here, it's downright barbaric! Hopefully that clears things up.

[–] MyMotherIsAHamster@lemmy.ca 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I would so fucking love to send her to the country that actually has the lowest standard of living in the world, and leave her there.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 day ago

It's easy to get to Mogadishu too -- parachute, clown cannon, cruise ship. Sorted.

We could make a sport of it.

[–] Carvex@lemmy.world 44 points 2 days ago

Someone’s never left her ivory tower.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 32 points 2 days ago

It may be a lie now but Conservatives are working hard to bring it closer to truth.

[–] SirMaple__@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 day ago

I really wish this scum would shut up and leave politics.

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 day ago

I love how the argument for who is worst between her, Moe, and Ford is just the last one to open their mouth

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 25 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The second most developed country in North America behind Denmark says otherwise.

Danielle Smith, telling lies, reeking of treason.

[–] Trihilis@ani.social 11 points 1 day ago

As opposed to the US where poverty doesnt exist and people just "stop being poor" because trump said so.

[–] selokichtli@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 day ago

I'm sure nobody noticed she wall lying.
