Alison Redford Thinks We Are Hicks!

She is a well traveled, UN lawyer, who thinks we should respect her because she has traveled the world and we red necked hicks haven't. 

 What I do think is that it’s a really big world out there. There are a lot of players. There’s no doubt that we have known for some time that we were going to start to see the agenda around energy issues and environmental issues change. And my view has always been that it’s possible to be effective in that arena if you can anticipate what’s coming next. I’ll tell you that I believe that in the last while Alberta hasn’t had leadership that understood Alberta’s role internationally. We needed to understand that decision-makers in Europe could impact us, not just decision-makers in Ottawa. It’s not just us in control of our own destiny. We are part of a global economy, and a global energy sphere, and we need to understand the impact that the political dialogue could have on our province.

She is a UN lawyer who appears to want a global government. She is as arrogant as Mulcair. She is dangerous to Alberta's way of life.

Ezra on the new NDP leader. Mulcair is a citizen of France....what is it with Quebec citizens Dion and Mulcair, can't they only be loyal to Canada?



Mulcair is no friend of Alberta. Interestingly enough, it appears that Alison Redford is also no friend of Alberta either. It seems that she applied to become a citizen of South Africa, and was denied. I wonder why they denied our UN, lefty Premier citizenship?

All of this doesn't surprise me coming from Redford.  She spent some time working at the UN so she is of that kind of mindset.

The Secretary General of the United Nations Boutros Boutros-Ghali appointed and assigned Alison Redford to a post in the United Nations as a special legal adviser.^{[citation needed]}
Throughout the 1990s, Redford worked as a technical adviser on constitutional and legal reform issues in various parts of Africa for the European Union, the Commonwealth Secretariat, the Canadian Government and the Government of Australia. Her work in Africa focused on human rights litigation, developing education programs and policy reform with respect to gender issues.^[3]

Danielle Smith was right in calling her out on it.    These are the kind of things we need to be alerted about.

 Smith says she doesn’t want to change the character of Alberta.
“I don’t think we need to be fixed,” says Smith, calling this election “a fight for the heart and soul of the province.”
She thinks Redford “doesn’t like Alberta all that much. She doesn’t like who we are. Do we need to be changed? Do we need Ms. Redford to change us? I think the answer is a resounding no.”

In the comments at Chasing Apple Pie, we find this little gem:

 In an interview with Macleans magazine in December of 2011 Alison Redford openly admitted that she sought and was denied citizenship in South Africa. Redford made her way back to Alberta and not by choice. Isn't it nice to have a person seeking the position of Premier for the province of Alberta would rather be some place else? Their denial is our loss.

 How committed is Red Ali to Alberta? Is she just an opportunist? I know that she is out of step with what I want for Alberta. I emailed my MLA about getting rid of the Human Rights Commissions, but fat chance of that happening under Ali's watch, she is a UN supporter, and loves human rights commissions.

 On a positive note, Danielle Smith's Wildrose party has released the first part of their family plan.

They are going to give tax credits to families with children under the age of 18. It's an interesting proposal, reminds me of the Conservative federal tax credit that the Liberals labeled the "beer and popcorn" credit. The Wildrose is speaking to families, while the PC's are still trying to make up for their HUGE blunder with the "nomeet" committee. Too little too late.

They are also pandering to the greenies with their money for the oil sands clean up. Hint: The oil companies are already reclaiming the land, and if lawyer Alison cared to check, it's a requirement of development, and already factored into the oil companies budgets. No need to throw around taxpayers money to gain a few green votes.

The PC's are demoralized. (Notice how Alison never uses the word Conservative?) I got a door knocker for my PC MLA tonight. When I told him I was switching my vote, he looked down at his list and just left. As I was closing the door, I looked across the street, and I saw the Wildrose candidate, he was running from door to door. I snagged two signs off of him, and away he went. The difference in the energy was very noticeable. Alberta Spring....how the lefties will hate it!

I Guess..... It's "Game On"!

The Laborers’ International Union of North America (LIUNA) left the BlueGreen Alliance on Friday, citing a disagreement with the group’s members over the Keystone XL pipeline. LIUNA, a vocal Keystone supporter, took aim at other unions for opposing the project.   “We’re repulsed by some of our supposed brothers and sisters lining up with job killers like the Sierra Club and the Natural Resources Defense Council to destroy the lives of working men and women,” LIUNA General President Terry O’Sullivan said in a statement. ....... Many unions — including the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, the Teamsters, the United Association of Plumbers and Pipe Fitters for the United States and Canada and others — support the pipeline. But some labor groups, including the Amalgamated Transit Union and the Transport Workers Union, oppose it. LIUNA’s decision to leave the BlueGreen Alliance comes just two days after President Obama rejected Keystone, blaming the decision on a 60-day deadline imposed by Republicans. The GOP has vowed to work to reverse the decision legislatively. It seems that the labour unions are waking up to how uncompromising environmental groups really are. The environmentalists don't care about jobs because they get millions in donations for wrapping themselves in a "green" blanket. Unions are about jobs for their workers who rely on the jobs to support their families and communities. The environmentalists are never happy, unless a bird is being chopped up in their heavily subsidized wind turbines. Forget saving the seals, SAVE the eagles! Environmentalists should be out planting trees, if they really actually cared about pollution. Plants suck up CO2 don't you know!  Like this: Just like the environmentalists still use 20 year old pictures of white baby seals being clubbed, they will NEVER, EVER show you the reclamation of the oil sands... that would seriously hurt their fund raising. Some of those trees are 20 years old now, but the "greenies" just can't live in the present. Telling the truth would mean that about 90% of them would be unemployed, if you call going around the world, in a polar bear suit, making an a$$ of yourself, employed. Here is another article that shows how unhappy Americans are with Obama's decision:   By rejecting the Keystone XL oil pipeline, President Obama did more than just pander to environmentalists. He shredded attempts by his handlers to cast him as a pragmatic and reasonable man who can appeal to independent voters. Instead, he stands naked as an ideologue willing to sacrifice workers on the altar of special-interest politics. Thousands of jobs were cast aside with no more thought than yesterday’s socks. Demolished, too, is the promised commitment to energy independence. I especially like this response from one of the comments:  steelking
