They got quoted by ~~the NY Times~~ Time Magazine this week….
I am sure if she sees this she will try! She did get booed at her pep rally when she talked about Carney.
Time magazine quoted the Beaverton as a source on a Hoekstra quote.
“This is not fair,” Eby said. “Absolute power to control the lives of British Columbians should not be in the hands of people none of them voted for. It should be in the hands of people fewer than half of them voted for but who nevertheless have all the power because that’s how first-past-the-post elections work. It’s called democracy. Kind of.”
Political comedy gold.
You should also read the last time The Beaverton covered Smith's notwithstanding clause use. And then the time before that.
“The notwithstanding clause is generally reserved for serious disagreements between the provinces and the courts, or whenever Quebec feels like being more xenophobic,” ...
So good.
Wait, so if you believe an Onion article it's said you "ate the onion", does the same apply to a Beaverton article?
Well it is a bit less of a mouthful than "I licked the beaver's vanilla flavored taint glands."
I want everyone to know that i ate the beaver, and i eat it most nights.
Ate the beavertail if you want to keep it pg-13.
That's disgusting.
I ate the beaver.
Don't give her ideas!
Bloody garbage...world is messed up enough as it is we don't need this rubish
This may backfire on Carney big time. I'm a Carney on kind of guy, but i'm also a BCer and this actually pissed me off. Alberta isn't the only province that thinks it's getting fucked by confederation, way to prove we have no agency in this country. Hope they remember this when the next confidence vote is called for.
Beaverton... I almost fell for it as well
I know it is a beaverton article. They did however sign a deal without BC input, which is the essence of the joke.
It’s a memorandum of understanding, saying they will look at it.
So if Smith made a memorandum of understanding with the PM over a pipeline in Quebec without it's input, what would you think the reaction would be? It would go over really well wouldn't it? Lol.
I know it would be the exact same, and I would say the exact same thing. It is a MoU that means nothing.
Between O&G cult gaslighting and Beaverton jokes, it can be hard to tell what's true and what's false.
