    I can’t express how much I wish my fellow Albertans, who want to join the US, to pack their things and head to their promised land.

    The separatists movement has always been here. For decades even conservatives would laugh at someone suggesting ceding from Canada. Then PP came along and started riling them up and taking a page out of mein Kampf 2nd edition and here we are. That, and every equipment operator, truck driver and Derrick hand started listening to conservative podcasts and doing some ‘deep thinking’ without the requisite number of brain cells.

    Fuckheads.

      It seems to be universal that one. For some reason truck drivers and right-wing rhetoric just seem to go hand in hand.

      But they’re the ones that have to cross over international borders and go through checkpoints all the time, so you would think that they’d be all in favour of smooth diplomatic relations.

        AM radio talk shows. Thirty years ago AM radio was where you got Rush Limbaugh, and it has NOT gotten any better. But that’s often the only signal that will work out in the boonies between here and there, so drivers listen to a lot of it.
