What THE FUCK do they actually admire about Texas?

The ban on abortions?

The mass-shootings in schools, restaurants, supermarkets?

The fact it’s much harder for employees to join a labor union ?

Prescription drug prices that are among the highest in the world?

The mandatory bible 10 commandments in public schools?

This crap is making me angry. Sorry I needed to rent.

      I can tell you as someone born and raised here, oil money has led this place to become a mecca for every dumb asshole across Canada to forgo further education and try to get rich quick. The majority will crash and burn and the rest will retire in Kelowna.

        Fuck, no! Not my home town! We have enough jacked-up and lifted pavement princesses with red license plates as it is!

      I’ve never lived in Alberta…but I was in BC for ages so I’m familiar.

      They, first and foremost, think they’re superior because there’s oil in Alberta. They don’t understand that all of the profits from oil are leeched from their province - or they do understand, but they’re happy as long as Quebecers and “Queers” don’t get a dime. When the province catches fire or there’s a downturn in oil prices…suddenly they’re all socialists. Don’t know how they function with so many conflicting realities.

        They got those religious blinders. You know, like what horses wear but self imposed.

        Nobody in BC talks shit about green plates or black plates cuz none of them compare to red plates.
