Imagine this: A Quebec federal Conservative candidate writes on his blog that Quebecers need to “fit in or f—k off” as it relates to their relationship with Canada..The howls of indignant rage from Quebecers would be heard clear to Vancouver..A hyperventilating Prime Minister Justin Trudeau would rush to the cameras clutching something to comfort himself – perhaps a stuffed animal – showing Canadians the depth of his anguish over an insult to the beloved province he treats as superior. He’d most likely cry. Those tears would possibly even be real..Said candidate would be pronounced a pariah in the media and banished from the Conservative Party – immediately and forever. Rightly so. That’s what a leader fairly representing every Canadian province equally would do..At a bare minimum, the leader would at least condemn the remarks and force the candidate to appologize..Now let’s end the hypotheticals and get to what actually happened..Calgary-Nose Hill Liberal candidate Jessica Dale-Walker wrote a ranting blog post in March 2020 with some words for her fellow Albertans..“Canada owes Alberta nothing.”.Dale-Walker continued. .“Sir Winston Churchill said it more eloquently, however his message was clear. Fit in or f#$% off. We Alberta need to start fitting in. Because quite frankly, we are not as superior as our government touts.”.Just imagine for a moment if you can, if a candidate had said anything remotely similar about Quebec..But, this is different. It’s just Alberta. Hence, the Liberal candidate is still on team Trudeau. .In fact, the Maple Leaf image where her mug shot should be on the Liberal Party of Canada (Alberta) website highlighting candidates should be, was recently replaced with her actual picture. Was it finally safe to come out of hiding from ticked off Albertans after being outed for her anti-Albertan statements?.Team Trudeau and Dale-Walker. Two like-minded people. Peas in a pod. United in their disdain for Albertans who have the nerve to stand up for themselves..The Liberal website states: Jessica Dale-Walker and Justin Trudeau are the only team with a real plan to grow our economy, protect people’s health, protect a clean environment, and make life better for families right here in our community..Trudeau hasn’t done much of any of that for Alberta. He never will. And it appears Dale-Walker would not stand up for beleaguered Albertans..The website also states: “Together, we can elect a dedicated Liberal Member of Parliament to work with Justin Trudeau to build a better future for everyone.”.Except – as history has shown, Albertans..If only those ingrates would just be quiet and go sit at the kid’s table to eat their gruel, but not forget to send those equalization payments on time..In her post, Dale-Walker criticized Alberta politicians for blaming the federal government for many provincial problems..Alberta needs to “fit in or f—k off. We need Alberta to start fitting in. Because quite frankly, we are not as superior as our government touts.”.Fit in to what? How can she not know that the federal government is to blame for many of Alberta’s problems, crippling the energy industry being at the top of the list?.Fit into the carbon tax? Fit into equalization payments? Fit into canceled pipelines? Fit into the confiscation of recently legal firearms?.It’s safe to say Dale-Walker won’t have to worry about how she’ll decorate her Member of Parliament’s office. Besides, she’s running against Conservative incumbent Michelle Rempel-Garner in an already solid-Conservative constituency. Enough said..Tweets aren’t all Dale-Walker writes..In a blog called AlbertanLife she describes herself as: “Albertan Wife [sic], Mother, artist, I rule my life with logic and compassion. I’m creative and organized.”.“As Canadians we tout equal human rights, and yet we allow some of the most putrid policies and behaviours [sic] remove rights and equality…Look here in Alberta. Look at the most recent policies, practices and statements by government and staff. We aren’t promoting positive equal human rights messaging. We are promoting oil and gas above all…” .When she penned that is uncertain. What is certain is she’s not a fan of the energy industry that puts food on the table for countless Albertans and other Canadians via equalization payments..She quotes United Nations Article 01: “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.”.Except, apparently Albertans, whom one is allowed to ‘act towards’ in a potty-mouthed, disrespectful and disdainful attack..Dale-Walker apologized for other tweets in which she described people who rushed to get the COVID-19 shot as “entitled” and “guinea pigs.” She adamantly insisted she’s now double-vaccinated and certainly supports Trudeau’s mandatory vaccination push, which he has made a paramount campaign issue. .Does anyone know if Dale-Walker apologized for flinging a contemptuous, condescending expletive at Albertans? As best as we can tell, she hasn’t. .Slobodian is the Senior Manitoba Columnist for the Western Standard.lslobodian@westernstandardonline.com
