Notley calls Alberta "the embarrassing cousin no one wants to talk about"

[dirtsniffer]

Seriously, global news interview for some woman of vision award.

45 months until we can get her out.

Horrible.

[killramos]

With her as Premier i certainly agree.

[Tik-Tok]

I think a more appropriate likeness would be "the rich uncle who pays for everyone's dinner, but also drunkenly put his hand on Canada's thigh, no one wants to talk about him"

[btimbit]

What a dumb cunt. But what was she talking about when she said it? Something specific or the province as a whole?

[revelations]

Not an NDP fan and didnt vote for them, but I need more context than that. Between the Ralphisms and whats-her-name premier that belonged in the TV show Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, its not THAT far out of line.

Guessing this has to do with Oil prices and Alberta being in the red? If that's the case....then truth hurts? I would agree with that.

Gonna be a long 45 months..

I love this province, but I agree that the governments of Alberta have been acting in a pretty embarrassing fashion for a decade or more.

We didn't make fun of you because of your opinion of Notley, we made fun of you because you come off as a belligerent asshole.

"NDP will ruin our province! I'll have to lay off half my staff that I treat like family! By the way, is this $100k car a good deal?"

Re: a diversified economy

"...maintain the prosperity of our economy but also make progress on our environmental record, real progress. So we can be genuinely proud that we are a leader as opposed to, you know, the embarrassing cousin nobody wants to talk about."

Watched the clip, it's not really anything earth shaking - just talking about cleaning up our environmental record rather than being the embarrassing cousin etc etc.

That said, 45 more months and counting...

[phreezee]

The context is inline with the comments she made last month about transitioning Alberta to a "knowledge based economy." Her "Alberta Vision" doesn't include the oil sands http://business.financialpost.com/fp...-the-oil-sands

After watching that, there wasnt anything even worth talking about in that phrase, said almost in passing.

Now the NDP as a whole ....... shudder
