The Briar Patch

Honestly just a rant, while I am currently in a "professional" writing course I know this blog ain't that, just some thoughts, feelings, observations on the vote a couple nights ago. I should probably just stay off social media with #Abpoli threads for the next couple days. The election is over and if I thought social media was bad before it has just gotten worse. I am not sure who takes loss worse the MAGAts down in the states when Prez Bone Spurs was ejected OR NDP supporters. Thousands of posts, Albertans are all redneck racist homophobic bigots! The crazy part is how many are from people not even in ALBERTA! The thing is I am not even a big UCP guy. Many times I have blogged about Dani Smith and maybe how I don't trust her at all but when you come at my home, of course I am going to say shit back. So it is probably best I just ignore that for a day or 2. So far my favorite was a person saying all Alberta is uneducated white extreamists. Someone who doesn't eve

This might be a mixed bag or it might just be politics, a look at Canada and Alberta and where we went wrong. I guess it depends on how long the politics take. Either way heads up, this won't have fun little nuggets like which games I am playing or some good issues to read...... Democracy or at least the art of democratic politics is dead and funnily enough it was killed by the parliamentary democracy government system. We still get to cast our votes, that is true but it has become whoever gets elected is more accountable to their party than to the population they are supposed to represent.

I keep saying the party with a very specific point. It is usually in authoritarian countries we have a "party" Glory to the Party! Now today I do not have a tinfoil hat on, I know we are still a free nation but wh

 I AM BITTER! If you are not into a grumpy blog maybe best to come back at a later date for a read.... I mean I dont think it will all be grumpy but here we go. Thats not true, not totally. I did start ANOTHER blog and move a lot of my rants, so this is mostly pop culture with some grump in it.  Welp the Oil have moved on, I watched game 6 or most of it. Other than that I am a bandwagon jumper, I get to wear my jersey at work so that's me being a fan. Now I do have a take away from that game. The Oil got lucky the Kings goaltending was weak. Not even comparing it to Quick on the first cup win when he was a beast but just in general. You HAVE to have great 'tending at least to win a cup, the Kings didn't. So far the Knights look like they do, will they be harder for the Oil. I think so but I think the Oil can take them to. Then it will be Kraken or Stars, I don't think it matters, I honestly think after taking out the Kings the Oil will at least make the final. I only fi
