Terror! At ReformaToryCon!

Terror for the ballots, that is, some of which reportedly got shredded by the ReformaTory ballot counting machine.

Another win for the Reform party it seems.

[graydon]

How so?

[maruad]

I tend to think of the social conservatives as reform and the fiscal conservatives as tory. I could be wrong in my thinking (it happens).

[graydon]

I think of Reform as "Alberta isn't important enough" and the Tories as mammonite death cultists. This perhaps cynical view leads me to see present events as Reform being kept around for the utility of its skull fragments in mask-making.

[maruad]

You cannot not see my ear to ear grin atm but it is there. Albertans have been getting a tailored world view, that is different from the rest of Canada's, since the days of the National Energy Program at the very least. At this point if their skulls were any more fragmented they would be used a face powder for the mammonite death cult masks.

This also makes me sad as I have family there who are not to far from this cult but oddly they hate the Republicans and Trump with a passion only surpassed by their hatred of all things Trudeau.

I've noticed with a number of conservative Canadians, especially ones Over A Certain Age, that their general hatred of all things American provides at least some barrier to their going full wingnut. For which we can only be thankful.

Also, totally unrelated, didn't you use to comment on Charlie's Diary a lot? If so, I never see you there anymore (unless you are using a different name).

[graydon]

Work has had a lot of opinions about how I should be spending my time this year, and between that and the plague my supply of social spoons is lower than I would generally wish it to be should I undertake to comment much on Charlie's Diary.

[maruad]

I understand. Your comments seem well thought out and that takes time.

Hope work gets a little less demanding without losing whatever joy and rewards you get from it.
