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?
Is Rafael one of the most pretentious names these days? Fortunately it's going the way of Ruth.
who was your favorite ninja turtle? mine was donatello because the staff was the best weapon
I'm with you, except I think the Turtle Van was the best weapon. Followed closely by the Turtle Blimp.
This is the most intelligent and informed conversation I've had in the context of TFG all year, by the way.
Mine was Rafael because he was the biggest asshole.
Neerrrrddd
Michelangelo all the way baby. (I most identify with donation though, but Leonardo was the best, and aptly named after the best of the sources)
No one wants Ted Cruz
I resent threats like this.
You're from alberta i take it?
Yup
So many things.

But at least y'all don't have
mice.Edit: aw, rats.
We have mice; well the province does, I don't because I have three cats. We don't have persistent rat colonies though, which is probably what you were thinking of.
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.
Make sense to me, they get all the rhetoric all the YouTube videos all the propaganda but none of the actual consequences. Of course he's more popular there.
Good point
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.
Man, nobody I've talked to around here has the time of day for Smith.
Tbh sounds right I don't think anyone really likes trump anymore. So maybe a handful of loonies in Canada do like him more than the US
Good fucking god I hate Albertans
-An Albertan
As an Albertan, ew
Is it Alberta or the city of Calgary that has an Arby's cowboy hat on their flag?
Calgary
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.
The issue as seen from the outside is that
are on all sides of this. Jules Verne's description of Americans (that fist fight scene, I think it's "Around the world in 80 days", but I may be wrong) has aged well.
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
Is that perhaps the setting of letterkenny?
No, Sudbury is, and a good representation too.
Hosers.
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.
That one is so wild. Filipino lady who claims she was gifted Canada. How does someone come up with that? She's either a top tier grifter or she's mentally ill
DJT is most popular in Russia, China and North Korea!
Nah they just want somebody to do what they want and Trump was that somebody in the past. As soon as he isn't useful any more, they will drop him like somebody falling from a window.
Isn't Edmonton the Liberal / NDP powerhouse of Alberta?
Exactly. He'd be more comfortable in Caroline AB which is where the KKK are.
Wait what? I lived near there. As a kid...with no idea....
Although it does explain why a lot of the kids I met were racist....
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.
Alberta, the Texas of the North... full of degens
Fuckin’ Degens from upcountry
Now that's comedy
damn rattlesnakes and traitors, hiding in canada won't save you from uncle ernie's boot
That is shocking to see.
