Danielle sounds like a real piece of shit.

[-] ferretfacefrankburns@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 days ago

Marleina Quisling proving once again she is a fucking traitor who shouldn't be in any position of power.

[-] Punchshark@lemmy.ca 84 points 1 week ago

dani smith is a traitorous cunt!

[-] MyDogLovesMe@lemmy.world 42 points 1 week ago

Seditious bitch.

A shit-stain of a human who’s in it for herself.

[-] Justus@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 week ago

So many places to go after Danielle smith. Do we have to make her sex one of them? She is a horrible leader, a liar, traitorous, vacuous, purveyor of bullshit culture war, climate change denier, maga sycophant, incompetent shitforbrains, and worst of humanity

You can say a lot without mentioning her sex

[-] Numenor@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago

He never mentioned her sex. Cunts are gender neutral.

[-] Justus@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago

Maybe is Australia. Next guys calls her a bitch. Just saying hate her cause she’s horrible. No need for misogyny

I could. But she doesn't deserve that kind of respect

[-] Justus@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

I agree she doesn’t deserve respect. I guess my point is that it’s not just her that you’re hurting with misogynistic slurs, it’s also my daughter who gets hurt

[-] Punchshark@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

I totally hear you. It is not my intention to hurt anyone else besides danis shitty feelings. I just dont have a problem getting in the mud with them to play their own game

The word, as an insult, may be used predominantly to refer to either gender in some parts of the world, but in other parts it's usually gender-specific. Both points of view -- that it's misogynistic and that it's not -- could be argued to be valid because we live in different cultures. That said, we're a global audience here and so using this word across cultures becomes problematic.

Here in the USA, it's still a mostly gendered word based in misogyny. People in the US claiming otherwise probably just don't want to stop using the word as an insult and either don't believe or care that it perpetuates misogyny in the US when used against women.

The claim in this thread that it's matter-of-fact not misogynistic is untrue globally.

ford is a traitor, he was humping trumps leg and was ready to sell out Canada until it looked bad for him. He is still fucking up healthcare, and selling off greenspaces, and filling his pockets, as is tradition with conservatives. Fucking traitors the lot of them.

[-] Typotyper@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

Any sources because he’s been pretty loudly against trump since the 51st state comments. Not holding back waiting for polls

[-] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 36 points 1 week ago

Ford was caught on hot mic saying he was happy Trump won until tariff threats started.

"Election day, was I happy this guy won? One hundred per cent I was," Ford said. "But then the guy pulled out the knife and f--king yanked it into us."

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/ford-trump-win-comments-tariffs-1.7449512

In defence of Ford, he’s done a pretty good job vocally standing up to Trump, but I don’t know anyone in their right mind that would be happy Trump won.

[-] 9488fcea02a9@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago

He withdrew the electricity surcharges after winning the election and meeting with trump....

Weak

[-] Typotyper@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Yes, but the original post stated, Ford waited for things to look bad for him before he switched sides. Ford was pretty quick to say fuck them.

Yes he’s conservative but he’s Canadian first

To be clear I didn’t vote for him but I could have.

[-] lobut@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

Yeah I'm as unhappy as I am he's in charge ... he's at least got Canada as his priority unlike Danielle Smith.

[-] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

Yeah I think as soon as he heard about tariffs again he was immediately aggressive about it.

He’s an asshole for sure, but he’s our asshole.

I just don’t know how he forgot about this all when on US election night.

[-] tempest@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

Not 'our' asshole, just a populist. They see the way the wind in blowing and make a bunch of noise about it and then do what they were always going to do, which is sell off more of the province to Mattamy.

Its time to give her the traditional traitor treatment. Lock her in the tower of London and throw away the key.

[-] itsnotits@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago
[-] Nemean_lion@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

Oh look. its no tits.

[-] Montreal_Metro@lemmy.ca 45 points 1 week ago

Danielle the traitor. PP the traitor. That’s my nicknames for those two.

[-] frozenicecube@lemmy.ca 29 points 1 week ago

For anyone just reading the comments, please be aware that this is old news. Article from Jan 21st.

[-] Whitebrow@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Any developments since then?

I imagine they would update the article if that changed but maybe I’m putting up my hopes too high here

[-] FreeBooteR69@lemmy.ca 28 points 1 week ago

Alberta's Trump. Glad in BC we avoided our version, by the skin of our teeth.

[-] adespoton@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago

No thanks to Danielle Smith who ran election interference in BC.

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Oh, was it close there too? It was painful when Smith won by 1300 votes.

[-] TemplaerDude@lemm.ee 23 points 1 week ago
[-] CobraChicken3000@lemmy.ca 22 points 1 week ago

At this rate, Danielle LeSmith is a few months away from being indicated on embezzlement charges 🤞

If a foreign nation threatens to forcefully annex you and you go with it, you're quite literally the definition of a traitor.

I'd like to hear from actual Albertans what they think of this.
We might not agree on much most days, but still, I hope the country comes before whatever squabbles.

[-] SSNs4evr@leminal.space 15 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Danielle Smith: Soorry aboot that, but orange is my favourite colour.

[-] Isaac@waterloolemmy.ca 13 points 1 week ago

Favorite color**

She doesn't use the kings English, I guarantee

[-] SSNs4evr@leminal.space 7 points 1 week ago

Aw, man! I specifically added the proper amount of U's, posted it, then had to go back and edit the autocorrect.

[-] Yoga@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 week ago

I wish Dani was at least owned by the Canadian oil companies but we can't even have that...
