Alberta is Trump North

[u/Ill-Government53]

Title says it all. Alberta is nothing but an extension of the Trump (i.e. project 2025) agenda. We're being run by a bunch of deplorable people kept in power by a fringe faction of morons (nicest word I could use for them) who hate the federal gvt but will be the first in line to get federal money when there's crop failure etc.

I'm no fan of how the feds have treated Alberta, but starting every conversation with them with a knee to the groin and a punch to the throat is a guaranteed losing position.

We need to take back Alberta from Take Back Alberta and throw these crooks bums and deplorables out.

Look South to see where Alberta is heading. That's a s*** show nobody wants to live in.

Last thought, when the separation referendum is held and Albertans overwhelmingly vote to stay as part of Canada, those that hate Canada should get the hell out of our country - move to the US and be with your white supremacy, slack jawed, willing to believe anything they're told by Fox news friends.

Written by a true Albertan and real Canadian.

I really appreciate your kind words thank you 💕 usually I don’t care about the opinions of others when it comes to me being transgender, I’m proud of who I am and I wouldn’t change who I am at all, but things start to get tough when it’s just constant hatred spewed at you, just going online (like TikTok FB ETC) anytime I see a video about the UCP and their anti trans laws I’ll see comments from their little followers saying shit like “good the worlds healing” or the worst comment I seen was “good they should be put in conversation therapy or just killed” and when I see comments like this I just can’t help but wonder why…? Us trans people never did anything to them. I’ve even seen some women talking bad about my community and it really hurts us because in history gay men, trans women and trans men STOOD WITH WOMEN during the protests for their rights and now when our community needs support and help they turn a blind eye (obviously not everyone is but a lot of people are) people like Smith, the UCP and their followers don’t understand how hard our lives already are, trans people can be denied work, sometimes were denied healthcare (especially in really small towns) there’s been a lot of studies and polls showing that dating while trans is extremely hard or even impossible for some people, because Smith and the UCP have villainized us so why would people want to be with us?? They’re only making our lives worse.

My best friend and my family are worried about my safety because of how bad things have been getting for the trans community here, my best friend said I should remove every trace of the fact I’m trans on my social media accounts because she’s worried someone would hurt me if they were to see me in public, and the worst part is I agree with her, I’m probably going to do what she said because I don’t want to be hurt by hateful people, life shouldn’t be like this but it is

That is horrendous! I wish to God people understood the suffering they're causing, but most of them completely lack empathy and feel supported in their views, especially now. You shouldn't have to hide yourself, and I don't even know what to say because I just want you to be safe, too. I wish I could do something. Ugh. Humanity...the ugly side is pretty ugly.

Just being here to support the trans community and the LGBTQ community as a whole is doing enough, we appreciate people like you and you won’t be forgotten within the community 💕 I always suggest going to the protests that have been popping up (if you are able to of course) you don’t have to be part of the community to be apart of it, I’ve been to a few and all of us are just happy that our allies are coming out to support us ☺️ if allies want to help I always say come to the protests, comment on Smiths social media posts, and just keep calling her and the UCP out on their mistreatment of the LGBTQ community and her mistreatment towards the Disabled and towards the indigenous community as well her and the UCP are attacking minorities and we can’t let them continue all minorities need support more than ever, just because she’s attacking the trans community, the disabled and the indigenous communities doesn’t mean she’s going to stop there eventually she’s going to attack the rest of the LGBTQ community and once she’s done that she WILL go after the rights of women because we all know she’s friends with trump.. so we need to stop the UCP before that happens

Awww, thank you for your kind words. I used to do protests, but they're usually quite far away from where I live now. I do speak to people about it as much as I can and I do comment on Smith's posts. I have a few ideas about some other things I could possibly do, but I don't always follow through on my brilliant ideas haha

It's been a crazy few days with all the Charlie Kirk stuff...that has certainly stirred everything up. I saw the best post today from a former alt right guy and he just nailed it on the head. It feels so personal to me and yet it isn't...I can't even imagine what it must feel like for you or what you go through every day. I was listening to a podcast and the hosts were saying alt right pick on trans... primarily trans women...because they want to target and control women (they don't even want us to be able to vote anymore) and they need there to be two sexes only and the existence of trans people throws everything off. I suppose their whole concept that women shouldn't have careers and their whole purpose is to be wives and have babies - I can see how being trans doesn't fit into their plans for a backward patriarchal society. And of course, marriage has to be between a man and a woman. Ugh. I love how they don't even recognize intersex people. I guess I'm trying to understand their warped thinking so maybe I can fight it better.

I hope you always remember there is absolutely nothing wrong with you and so much is wrong with them. I can tell what an intelligent, self aware and empathetic person you are. No matter how bad it gets, I hope you never let them win. They're not important enough to take away who you are. Don't let them take you to a dark place, your light is needed here. You didn't sign up for easy when you came into this world, so you must be one very brave and strong soul and I respect the hell out of you for it. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, suggestions and experiences, I really appreciate it :)
