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.

Is Rafael one of the most pretentious names these days? Fortunately it’s going the way of Ruth.

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 mean I certainly hope not, but there is no shortage of canadians saying they will vote for trump when they have no voting rights in the states and even sometimes hanging banners on some highway overpasses. More than trumpers though its mostly the anti abortion losers that haul giant posters of aborted goop like its going to make me feel anything other than disdain for the people displaying the poster in areas where kids can see.

They’re cherry-picking the most right-wing province and comparing it to the entire US averaged as a whole. The claim doesn’t surprise me at all.

Make sense to me, they get all the rhetoric all the YouTube videos all the propaganda but none of the actual consequences. Of course he’s more popular there.

Sampling bias; Albertans working in O&G are going to be the shittiest people our province has to offer

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.
