Maybe she should move to South Sudan or Somalia if we’re so much worse off than them.

[–] voracitude@lemmy.world 36 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Really don't have to go as far as all that, the US is a pretty glaring example of poor living standards. Going to the doctor won't bankrupt your citizens, for one thing.

[–] cyborganism@piefed.ca 26 points 3 days ago

LOL the U.S. is her prime example of paradise

Her constant need to create division and outrage is exhausting.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 48 points 3 days ago

Just gotta love how lying is the bread and butter for Christians and conservatives

[–] gtownjim@piefed.ca 44 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Alberta politicians have some of the lowest IQ in the 🌎

[–] TheFeatureCreature@lemmy.ca 21 points 2 days ago

No, that would be the people that vote for them every single election.

[–] Carvex@lemmy.world 43 points 3 days ago

Someone’s never left her ivory tower.

[–] TheBloodFarts@lemmy.ca 34 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Ironic seeing as she's the one actively lowering Albertans' living standards

[–] droopy4096@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 days ago

Here's the pattern as practiced by POTUS47, PP, Putin and Smith: describe all of your shortcomings and failures but pin it on the opposite side and you're golden as nobody can blame you back in that same sh#t. Or so the thinking goes

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 30 points 3 days ago

It may be a lie now but Conservatives are working hard to bring it closer to truth.

[–] MyMotherIsAHamster@lemmy.ca 25 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I would so fucking love to send her to the country that actually has the lowest standard of living in the world, and leave her there.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 days ago

It's easy to get to Mogadishu too -- parachute, clown cannon, cruise ship. Sorted.

We could make a sport of it.

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 24 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The second most developed country in North America behind Denmark says otherwise.

Everybody always forgets St-Pierre et Miquelon.

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 days ago

The CBC show St Pierre is pretty good, worth a watch!

I don't know who she is but let me guess: far-right.

I think that because we have the same problem in Spain. According to the far-right Spain is worst than Somalia.

[–] DerisionConsulting@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 days ago

Someone replied to you using her legal name Marliana Smith. If you curious as to why, she brought forward a law designed to hurt transgendered children, to require parental consent for schools to call them anything but their first name. Since she doesn't even go by her first name, some people now refuse to call her by her middle name, which she prefers.

She's financed by oil companies, a hypocrite, a liar, and rallies her voters by creating imaginary enemies out of "the other",. A very prototypical far-right politician.

[–] Pilferjinx@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (2 children)

She's a competent MapleMaga a secessionist. She's demanding that her land locked province gain pipeline access across Canada or they're leaving the federation.

[–] radiofreebc@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

Marlaina Smith is a traitor to Canada, and should be put in prison.

[–] ieGod@lemmy.zip 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'd hardly call her competent. Her base is simply stupid.

[–] Pilferjinx@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Her base is stupid for sure. It's her oratorial skills that are competent. She says all the right things but her actions are in direct conflict with them.

[–] SirMaple__@lemmy.ca 17 points 2 days ago

I really wish this scum would shut up and leave politics.

[–] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago

Danielle Smith, telling lies, reeking of treason.

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 days ago

I love how the argument for who is worst between her, Moe, and Ford is just the last one to open their mouth

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I get that these people lie and people believe it. But these completely outrageous statements just doesn't make sense to me. Is anyone looking at canada thinking: wow, it's crazy to believe to no one has it worse than them

[–] OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

She probably doesn't include "shithole countries" in her world view

[–] zebidiah@lemmy.ca 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This. This is why we all think Alberta is full of fucking morons...

You want us to stop treating you like inbred maga morons, stop fucking acting like it!

[–] Sdes01@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 days ago

You can't argue with stupid.

Just ignore them.

That REALLY makes them angry.

[–] LostWon@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Well you see, she's really talking about millionaire and billionaire comforts in Canada as compared to rich people in other parts of the world. They have it so, so much worse here, it's downright barbaric! Hopefully that clears things up.

[–] Trihilis@ani.social 11 points 2 days ago

As opposed to the US where poverty doesnt exist and people just "stop being poor" because trump said so.

[–] Routhinator@startrek.website 10 points 2 days ago

Go to the US and enjoy those living standards, ya twat. Danielle is a useless waste of flesh.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's cool when the lies aren't even the slightest bit plausible.

[–] xzot746@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

She gets that from her hero TACO.

[–] Ulrich_the_Old@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago

It doesn't matter what she says as she is a trump level liar.

[–] isekaihero@ani.social 3 points 2 days ago

Canada has it pretty bad if they're worse off than Somalia or North Korea. Canada should really consider joining the USA so we can improve their quality of life.

[–] Kaput@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Don't correct her.

[–] Routhinator@startrek.website 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If we're going to compare to specific states, then we should be comparing to specific provinces. How's Alberta compare against other provinces, I wonder?

Oh shut the fuck up you grumpy old hag!! Who needs this traitor amoung us? Nobody but her Drumpf sycophants.

[–] Darkonion@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

She does realize she has a majority government and is fully responsible for the current status (whatever that may be)? If she is so incapable in doing her job that the relative quality of life has dropped to such a degree, perhaps she should deport herself into the sun.

[–] tehn00bi@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Who did she use as her baseline? McDavid?

[–] BalesDiana@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago

She's wrong, that's her own opinion anyway πŸ€”πŸ™„
