How stupid do you have to be to accept the illusion of choice as something to be excited about? I figure the answer is either not, since so many people do it, or very. And if it's very then the vast majority of people are rather dim. Hmmm, I think I might be on to something here...
Anyway, I live in the Texas of Canada. I actually don't know that much about Texas so it might not be an accurate comparison, but you probably got what I meant. There's an election about and for the first time in my life the outcome is not a forgone conclusion. People are excited, change is coming, a new future is being created- boy, it's quite something! Get this- either the conservatives are going to win or the 'no we're conservatives' are going to win.
Politics aside, it's unbelievable the fuss people are making. A bunch of guys at my work were coming in their pants today because they could chose between ultramarine and navy blue. Forget that there's virtually no difference, this is big stuff! Oh sure, smaller gubment, cutting corporate taxes, deregulating the oil industry, we can all agree on those things but come on- a new name and a new face that hasn't fucked us in the ass yet! The winds of change are in the air!
It's fucking astounding. My favorite part is that this miraculous harbinger of a new era said today that she 'likes Alberta just the way it is and doesn't want to change it'. Right, I'm glad we cleared that up. So, the choice is more of the same or more of the same? More conservative government or moar conservative government? And this is supposed to be exciting?!
And since this isn't ridiculous enough as is it, I submit this for consideration:

Gah!

:lulz: Nice one.
I think Alberta is the weak zone where excessive exposure to America
TM leaks through and makes all Canadians dumber.
:lulz: Wow.

That's
very Texas.
Tell me, have the fireants and giant cockroaches arrived yet?
I'm positively titillated. The suspense of who will win is making me tingle in all the right places.
My brain has gone to sleep.
Congrats, now you got yourself a real election. AmericaTM: It's Contagious.

Gah!
:mittens:
Excellent first rant!
Yay, mittens!
And don't worry guys, I'll be the eye on the ground for this important and exciting development in Canadian politics.
One thing that is at least visually refreshing about Canadian political ads is that they use colors other than red and blue.
Also wheels for jugs! I vote for hubcap nipples. Don't even need to hear her policies. :fap:

True, even knowing that it's a campaign bus type thing, my brain just keeps associating it with a news station...where the reporters have tires for boobs
ETA: And Pent beat me to it as I was hitting 'post'
I bet that ad really comes into it's own when the bus has a blow out at speed!
It would be something scary if you were a tiny passenger car running alongside when that happened.
'HOLY FUCK SHE'S COMING AT US!!"

Yep. Where do they dig these dingbats up? The Rotarian Club?
Wild Rose is the our provincial flower. Alburrrta pride.
At least I know what I'm drinking on election day.

HAH! Everyone knows Alberta exists only above the snow line. We've had you former iron curtain nationals here before (A guy named Remington, who was unfortunately killed by a piss jug thrown out of a semi in Roger's Pass).
Then he died as he lived- a true Albertan, strong and free!

Also, his sister was the QUEEN of photobombing. I'll post some examples when I get home.
:mittens: Good rant.
I haven't heard much about them, but "Wild Rose" scares the crap out of me. Not quite as much as those "Real Women" who ran their asses and mouths off to cut funding to women's programs, "Heritage" anti-immgrunt nuts, or those election fraud douches... And then, your OP explains that (http://www.realwomenca.com/page/links.html).
Let us know who the new Rular of Teh Tar Sands is. Will it be waspy-boob-wheels or the other thing..?
