Maybe they can take Ted Cruz back while they're at it?

If not Canada, then maybe russia? I hear they're desprately hiring new people!
I hear the surface of the sun is granting citizenship to all those who apply.
No no. Lets not fuck with the sun. If somehow the sun goes out, we're all fucked. If they have some issue in russia, thats a them problem.
Because of the sun doing what it is, chucking our worldly problems onto it will only make it more sun
If Donald Trump can poison the entire sun with his mere presence he should be dissected for science.
Texan here. You mean Rafael Edward Cruz?
The immigrant that's against immigrants?
No one wants Ted Cruz
Fugg is wrong with Alberta?
It's essentially the Texas of Canada.
Texas at least has a somewhat diversified economy, Alberta has a meltdown every time the price of oil drops
Fair warning: This is CultMTL. It's not a very serious newspaper. They tend to exaggerate things all the time. Take this with a grain of salt.
I haven't been to alberta but it checks out for albertans that have come here that I have worked with in oil related steel trades.
Sampling bias; Albertans working in O&G are going to be the shittiest people our province has to offer
Yeah but more popular than in the US? C'mon.
I mean I certainly hope not, but there is no shortage of canadians saying they will vote for trump when they have no voting rights in the states and even sometimes hanging banners on some highway overpasses. More than trumpers though its mostly the anti abortion losers that haul giant posters of aborted goop like its going to make me feel anything other than disdain for the people displaying the poster in areas where kids can see.
They're cherry-picking the most right-wing province and comparing it to the entire US averaged as a whole. The claim doesn't surprise me at all.
I live in rural Alberta and it's pretty rare for anyone to profess admiration for the orange shitbird. It's usually the people nobody likes to be around anyway.
I call bullshit on this article.
The trick is that they’re cherry-picking the most right-wing province and comparing it to the entire US averaged as a whole.
I hope you're right because rural Alberta was why we have Danielle Smith as Premier. She's a lunatic.
Good fucking god I hate Albertans
-An Albertan
the issue is that the people who do actually like him really like him, recently it's gotten to freakishly cult-like levels
Recently?
Well yeah recently, if you live under a rock
Recently in geological terms.
They're welcome to him. I suspect even for oil-loving Albertans, stupid tough-guy posturing is more appealing than the reality of Donald fuckin' Trump actually being in charge of anything about your life.
If you read the article it's still -13%.
So, pretty brain-dead to interpret that as wanting him.
Just FYI, Alberta is the Arkansas of Canada
I'm thinking a cold West Texas: oil and cattle.
Isn't Alberta full of stupid red necks?
It is the Texas of Canada... And sometimes they forget they aren't actually Texas
The fantasy is always better than the real thing.
Hey Canadian friends, what happened to that lunatic that proclaimed herself the queen of Canada and convinced her caravan followers to stop paying their bills and stuff? I haven't really seen anything about her in a while. I remember towns were barring her and her followers from entering, but I think that's the last I heard.
She's still around. Laying low for the most part but still screwing with peoples lives.
Only if he moves to Taber. Or Mayerthorpe. Or Edmonton. Them good ole AB cuntry folk love them some authoritarian figure-heads. Have fun, 34-times-convicted-felon.
We certainly love moronic elected officials fml
He's also more popular in Russia. Let them have him.
With any luck he'll bitch about lack of McDonald's and fall out a window.
Now that's comedy
