Dog bites Man. Calgary hates Liberals.

On Saturday afternoon, approximately 2,000 people who didn't pay attention during their Grade 9 Social Studies class to understand how Parliamentary Democracy actually works rallied at Calgary's Olympic Plaza to denounce the proposed Liberal-New Democrat Coalition. Judging from the photos of the event, it appears that there were almost as many Alberta flags as there were Canadian flags. If there's one thing this page gets tired of pretty quickly, it's Calgarians who scream about the country heading for disaster whenever they're confronted with the reality that a disproportionate sentiment of petrocarbons does not, in fact, give them the right to rule the country. At least Quebec Sovereigntists want a positive relationship with the rest of Canada, Stephen Harper is on record that he thinks this country is "a Northern European welfare state in the worst sense of the term, and very proud of it. "

This page is underwhelmed - in the spiritual home of reactionary capitalism, contempt for human rights and outright ignorance of the environmental damage inflicted by Alberta's Neofascist Petrocapitalism, the biggest show of support that the Tory puppet regime could attract, on a Saturday, is 2,000 people. Hmph. What's the matter, Brownshirt Cowtown Hotheads, are your friends and neighbours not so into Right Wing Mob Rule as you thought they were?

Unfortunately, as Harper and the Tories continue to polarize the electorate rather than actually work with the Opposition Parties on finding our way out of the current economic crisis, this page is certain we'll be hearing more from these reactionary bellicose idiots, and there is nothing more dangerous than a reactionary bellicose idiot with time on his hands. And here I thought Calgarians worked all the time whenever they weren't demonizing people in other parts of Canada who don't embrace their troglodyte Toby Keith mentality. Maybe the Prime Minister's idea of putting a Firewall around Alberta isn't such a bad one after all, if it means that Canadians will be protected from the toxic Palinesque vitriol radiating from just east of the Rockies.
