Western Standard Dunderheads

Hear I go again – picking on the west, well not far west, just the foothills area. Its not that I dislike Westerners its just that they always seem to be the ones to do things that get me going. Like, Ezra Levant, of the Western Standard for instance.

It seems likeWestern Canada is really good at producing loud mouths that either may or may not represent their population as a whole. For instance, Stephen Harper (although being born and raised in Ontario, he is now the ‘Prime Minister of Canada from the West’) who makes no qualms about thumping his bible and hating those who are different. However, in the most recent campaign he kept his mouth shut, but that doesn’t his values have changed, it just means he’s buying his time.

Now that I’ve thoroughly distracted myself I’ll return to the purpose of this post. The Western Standard. Well, I can tell you one thing, their strategy to boost readership must be working, but in the process they are turning their paper into a rag. Whether or not it was a rag before I can’t comment, but if they keep up at they pace they are going it will be Canadians and not Muslims that they will have to worry about. The Western Standard recently ran an article calling Ralph Klein’s (Alberta Premier) an ‘indian’. Now normally that is not much more than something you just don’t say (especially in an edited paper). The exact quote goes like this:

“Once she [Colleen] stops being the premier's wife, she goes back to being just another Indian."

I am amazed at the idiocy of the Western Standard. You just can’t say stuff like this anymore. I implore citizens of Alberta to standup and tear down the institutions that are making all of you look like Ignant, Gun-toting, Ethnic Hating, Gay Hating, Bible Thumping rednecks.

And before you start ripping into me about being an ‘Onterrible’, I’ve lived in Calgary and know what it’s like out there, and know that the many are misrepresented by few.
