    Smith is a fucking nut job. Alberta has always had a raging hard on for oil and gas, but she takes it to the next level

    For context, (progressive) conservatives have ruled Alberta for 40+ years. In the early 2000s an even more right wing group (Wildrose) stepped out onto the political stage. This was formed from a schism in the conservatives, where some people thought they were too progressive. The Wildrose drew conspiracy theorists and super right people like you wouldn’t believe. They gave voice to the hard right which was lurking beneath the surface and somewhat tempered by the ‘progessive’ side of the progressive conservatives.

    Eventually the two groups reunited, now with 100% more nut bar. After several clowns in government, and renditions of inept leadership, we eventually got the queen turd at the helm
