Donald Trump is officially more popular in Alberta than he is in the United States
Fair warning: This is CultMTL. It's not a very serious newspaper. They tend to exaggerate things all the time. Take this with a grain of salt.
I live in rural Alberta and it's pretty rare for anyone to profess admiration for the orange shitbird. It's usually the people nobody likes to be around anyway.
I call bullshit on this article.
The trick is that they’re cherry-picking the most right-wing province and comparing it to the entire US averaged as a whole.
I hope you're right because rural Alberta was why we have Danielle Smith as Premier. She's a lunatic.
Man, nobody I've talked to around here has the time of day for Smith.
Tbh sounds right I don't think anyone really likes trump anymore. So maybe a handful of loonies in Canada do like him more than the US
As an Albertan, ew
Is it Alberta or the city of Calgary that has an Arby's cowboy hat on their flag?
Calgary
Good fucking god I hate Albertans
-An Albertan
the issue is that the people who do actually like him really like him, recently it's gotten to freakishly cult-like levels
Recently?
Well yeah recently, if you live under a rock
Recently in geological terms.
The issue as seen from the outside is that
freakishly cult-like levels
are on all sides of this. Jules Verne's description of Americans (that fist fight scene, I think it's "Around the world in 80 days", but I may be wrong) has aged well.
They're welcome to him. I suspect even for oil-loving Albertans, stupid tough-guy posturing is more appealing than the reality of Donald fuckin' Trump actually being in charge of anything about your life.
If you read the article it's still -13%.
So, pretty brain-dead to interpret that as wanting him.
Just FYI, Alberta is the Arkansas of Canada
I'm thinking a cold West Texas: oil and cattle.
The fantasy is always better than the real thing.
Hey Canadian friends, what happened to that lunatic that proclaimed herself the queen of Canada and convinced her caravan followers to stop paying their bills and stuff? I haven't really seen anything about her in a while. I remember towns were barring her and her followers from entering, but I think that's the last I heard.
She's still around. Laying low for the most part but still screwing with peoples lives.
That one is so wild. Filipino lady who claims she was gifted Canada. How does someone come up with that? She's either a top tier grifter or she's mentally ill
DJT is most popular in Russia, China and North Korea!
Nah they just want somebody to do what they want and Trump was that somebody in the past. As soon as he isn't useful any more, they will drop him like somebody falling from a window.
Alberta, the Texas of the North... full of degens
Fuckin’ Degens from upcountry
He's also more popular in Russia. Let them have him.
With any luck he'll bitch about lack of McDonald's and fall out a window.
We certainly love moronic elected officials fml
Now that's comedy
That is shocking to see.
Maybe they can take Ted Cruz back while they're at it?
If not Canada, then maybe russia? I hear they're desprately hiring new people!
I hear the surface of the sun is granting citizenship to all those who apply.
Texan here. You mean Rafael Edward Cruz?
The immigrant that's against immigrants?
Is Rafael one of the most pretentious names these days? Fortunately it's going the way of Ruth.
No one wants Ted Cruz
I resent threats like this.
You're from alberta i take it?
