I'm actually surprised they didn't say "Please lock her up. Thank you."

Common people expressing extreme displeasure with their political leaders (and direction) is going worldwide. This is a very good thing. The press calls it populism (somewhat snidely), but it is plain old democracy and free speech at work. Of course, the lock 'er up came from our side of the border, but we have no copyright on it and are glad it can be of some use to Canadians.
It may not be as polite as it used to be, but polite was not getting it done.
And it's not like the left never screams and yells impolitely.... and riots and burns and loots and......
Bully for Canada (or Alberta)!

Beware of what??...this is the direction we needed to be heading all along....That communist C*%T is doing her best to destroy Alberta's oil jobs and economy....stay away from commenting unless you fully grasp what this bitch and her Marxist following are doing... Posting a Lefty Yellow Rag opinion piece just shows how little you know about what is going on here.

What would you have her locked up for ? I have no earthly idea. But when the common man thinks his political leadership (direction) is betraying his country and people, he may rightfully think of them as traitors and insurgents. Clearly this chant was picked up from us and used for it's vehement disagreement with the person's views and actions....... if not technical violations of the applicable criminal codes. |

No one here ACTUALLY expects to lock Ms. Notly up...but it damn sure shows our outrage at what she and her socialist dogma driven political party has done to destroy what was once a strong economy with her energy industry hating legislation. I would put it right up there with what Obama and the EPA has done to destroy communities that the coal industry supported. The protest at the Alberta Legislature was very organized and very civil..."the lock her up" chant was started by a young fellow in the crowd and others chimed in...no busted windows no looting...only BS being repeated by the likes of the Lefty MSM and uninformed people like "The Meathead" |

Incivility is everywhere. Today's world is a copycat world...what some people see or read in media they copy. Somehow incivility or downright rudeness has also become equated to righteousness or standing up for one's beliefs, while being respectful or polite is seen as a sign of weakness. Personally, I have never understood this mentality... one doesn't have to be rude to disagree or stand up for one's beliefs, even adamantly. I disagree strongly with our current Canadian federal government's policies and am actually actively involved in trying to change some of them or ensuring that they don't get in for second term, and I also disagree with the provincial government's policies from my neighbors to the East, but I still like to think I can remain "civil". When did being polite become a bad thing???

I certainly understand the frustration that Trump supporters have when the Left Leaning Press showed such utter disdain during the run up to...and still show after the election of Donald Trump...I guess Meathead is bored now that his choice for President was an utter failure...thus the misguided and uninformed attempt to sully what was a legitimate well organized protest here in Alberta. My wife participated in this protest and was quiet disappointed with the way it was misrepresented in the Left Leaning Media. Simply put...we're Mad as Hell and Won't Take It Anymore!! |

http://www.torontosun.com/2016/12/05/media-mocks-peoples-legitimate-tax-worriesCanadians have been acting like sheep for far too long. They have every right to be angry with how our government has squandered Billions of taxpayers money on inefficient green energy programs. Just look at the mess in Ontario. They have the highest utility rates in North America. Companies and jobs are leaving for cheaper energy rates. Now the federal government under Justin Trudeau is hell bent on forcing a carbon tax! That will raise the prices on everything and make us even LESS competitive in the global economy.

Being civil is very laudable 98% of the time, but doing so when your country is being taken over by damaging socialist policies, and where the indigent leeches are about to outnumber the hard working contributors at the voting booth....NOW is the time show we are not sheep anymore. I am witnessing my country being sucked into a socialist wormhole at an unprecedented pace and it breaks my heart to see what my children and 5 grandchildren are about to inherit. If you think you should continue to be part of the silent majority that just sucks it up and goes to work every day...shake your head...WAKE UP...BE ANGRY...you are becoming the minority. If you didn't like my choice of expletives in my response to an ignorant and uninformed post by meathead so be it...hand me 2 minutes for crosschecking but don't lay down and be "civil" when your country is being taken over... |

Nothing makes the bile come to the back of my throat than hearing Trudeau speak, especially when he says "Canadians know..." followed by some crap that HE thinks but more than half of Canada cringes at. His priorities, what he has spent Billions on, are not the priorities of a big chunk of Canadians, especially in the West. Most of us just want to go to work and take home a bit of our pay check at the end of the day.
The only thing that would make me happier than the West separating from Eastern Canada would be if Eastern Canada would stop electing people like him and Wynne. Wynne has ruined their economy and Trudeau is doing his damnedest to do the same to the rest of us.
I'm hoping Trudeau is Canada's mulligan, just as Notley was Alberta's. That is, it was an "oops, we didn't really mean to do that" and he/she will be gone after 1 term and we can get back to our senses.

Dude, you are something else.  You didn't even read what he said did you ? If you consider his form of activism laying down you probably should consider moving to the Eastern Bloc or somewhere more to your authoritarian way of thinking. I've been insulted by much better. You are going to have to step up your game. |

Here you go again...making assumptions, as per usual for you...
I read every word, and if it is his choice to do his civic duty in a silent majority manner...fine...and I respect his choice to object to my less than civil response to you, but some of us have come to the conclusion that it is time to speak up...your fore-bearers did so more than 240 years ago and recently, to your chagrin, a president was elected in your great country who has clearly heard the call from people like me who have had enough of politicians who pander to people like you.
Civil or political correctness??...I am full up...you are a grown man...handle it...or do you need a safe space??
The most recent insufferable crying from Liberals that used to require a tissue now begs for a beach towel to soak up all the tears. YouTube has thousands of examples of immature excuses for adults who cannot handle the reality of Trump and people like me...Please..demonstrate to us how you are not one of them.

I read every post and still can't figure out how a group chanting "Lock her up" is un-civil. Nobody was harmed, no laws were broken, there were no calls for violence, police in gear weren't needed to keep the peace. Seems VERY civil to me. And what should we lock her up for? ? ? ? ?  Here we go again. How about everything that Comey said she DID, that any other person would have been, and has been, locked up for. It was proven that she destroyed evidence, lied to congress, and mishandled classified material. That's enough to send any of us to jail, why not her? |

The calls for "Lock Her Up" (Notley) has been spewed by the main stream Liberal media here in Canada as though the "Alberta Deplorables" are ready for a lynching...well those ones are still in the very small minority...so far. |

I agree, Dr. Gary. I too cannot see what was uncivil in a (small) group chanting, "Lock her up" regarding their politician that they believe is destroying their world. I'm little concerned that someone has been indoctrinated by the liberal press and is "not interested in becoming educated" if that education comes from elsewhere. It also catches my attention that some are not so concerned when supporters of their own political stance are rioting and assaulting individuals of the political opposition but find it "uncivil" when a few people of the other side would dare to chant, "Lock her up" in regard to the damage she has done. Perspectives are interesting, are they not? |

I agree, Dr. Gary. I too cannot see what was uncivil in a (small) group chanting, "Lock her up" regarding their politician that they believe is destroying their world. I'm little concerned that someone has been indoctrinated by the liberal press and is "not interested in becoming educated" if that education comes from elsewhere. It also catches my attention that some are not so concerned when supporters of their own political stance are rioting and assaulting individuals of the political opposition but find it "uncivil" when a few people of the other side would dare to chant, "Lock her up" in regard to the damage she has done. Perspectives are interesting, are they not? "lock her up" chants might be appropriate for someone who has broken the law. I see no laws being broken. Perspective is indeed a strange thing. Technically breaking the law and doing something worthy of being locked up are not always the same thing... (Don't Godwin's Law me, I'm using this as a matter of procedure, not as a matter of degrees of evil) Keep in mind, everything Adolf Hitler did was perfectly legal... And, as stated earlier, very few actually think she'll be locked up, it's just a nice easy chant to show their extreme displeasure with the course of action she's taking. Much like I never thought for a moment Obama (pbuh) would actually be impeached, but I had the stickers and waved the IMPEACH OBAMA signs from overpasses anyway, just as a simple, easy way to show extreme displeasure with the situation. (I guess you could take the logical leap and argue that beating up Trump supporters, rioting, looting and burning cities is just how the left shows their extreme displeasure too...  ) |

I usually avoid political posts on this board, for the very reason shown here .....members sometimes correspond to each other in writing in a manner they probably wouldn't speak to each other face to face. I get it....it's an easy way to vent, through the anonyminity of a keyboard....but what good does that really do? My initial response was simply a reply to the topic raised by the OP and was written in a general context... that it's OK to be upset at government or whatever or whomever else you don't agree with, while retaining a certain amount of "civility". I don't see where I was calling anyone out specifically. 7th_son....if you did read my post then I'm not sure how you equate "actively involved in trying to change some of them or ensure that they don't get in for a second term" as being part of the silent majority ", or that I'm just "laying down"..... just because I choose to take action in a manner that stays true to who I am as a person. To the contrary, I would suggest that I am making myself heard where it counts in a much more effective manner than some who just choose to vent in an "un-civil" manner (I am not making the assumption that you are one of the latter.....please don't make assumptions about me before we've even had the chance to meet). Jason.....you my friend, are making a huge assumption yourself....but ya, we would take Saskatchewan in if there ever was a separation of East from West ...don't worry |

Surely you aren't equating carbon taxes with the things Hitler did ? If every politician we disagreed with we fell back to the position of "lock her up" we are in worse trouble than I imagined. (I couldn't go Goodwins Law on you if I wanted to, I don't know it)  |

Nor should they be. |

Jason.....you my friend, are making a huge assumption yourself....but ya, we would take Saskatchewan in if there ever was a separation of East from West ...don't worry You can use our vast resource revenues to subsidize the good people of BC so they can buy their triple soy mocha French vanilla frappacino lattes and bags of granola and weed. It's a win win. |

Jason.....you my friend, are making a huge assumption yourself....but ya, we would take Saskatchewan in if there ever was a separation of East from West ...don't worry Thanks for your reply...and I still do not apogize for the expletives in my response to meathead...His action of blindly reaching deep down and scooping a pile of crap from the outhouse of journalistic replies to an organized protest just shows what he and a couple other Trolls here are all about. Like I said in an earlier post about ignoring these people...not happening anymore...I see these pushy despicable people in traffic every day...I guess they feel it is okay because they are somewhat anonymous...I do speak my mind(mostly minus the expletives) when I have had enough of people like this face to face as well. And by the way...thanks for doing your part to try and fix the progressively(pun intended) broken world we are living in. |

It's a win win. Now this is the kind of civil discourse I'm used to from Canadians. My original post was meant as a sadness on my part that we Americans seem to be infecting our northern friends in a not so good way. Some responses here seem to bear that out. As far as being an anonymous poster. I don't think so. There are many here who personally know me. I too speak my mind. That doesn't sit well with some. I can live with that. |

Hey 7th_son,
If we are going to lock up these idiot politicians, is there room for Ontario's idiot premier Kathleen Wynne in there also. She is just as bad as your premier. If she has it her way no business will be able to afford to be open in Ontario. Where do these morons get these stupid ideas? After she is done it will take the conservatives generations to get us back in line with some heavy cuts.

(I couldn't go Goodwins Law on you if I wanted to, I don't know it) That's exactly what I was not doing, thus my disclaimer: (Don't Godwin's Law me, I'm using this as a matter of procedure, not as a matter of degrees of evil)
I wasn't saying her actions or wrecking the economy and lives of an entire province are anywhere near the level of evil of Hitler, but that just because evil is legal doesn't mean it shouldn't be punished was the argument I was making. The brief definition of Godwin's Law is that in any argument, eventually someone will make a comparison to Hitler, the first person to do that loses the argument.
