Guess the next logical step is to bring back the Alberta Press Bill, and tack on the "notwithstanding clause" to ensure rebel papers and websites are shut down and would-be dissenters are imprisoned -- just like they do in banana republics.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('7679','BlastFurnace'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('7679','BlastFurnace','As I posted in the comments over at Dave&#39;s site the other day, I still consider Chandler to be a friend; but this time I too think he has gone way too far.&nbsp;&nbsp; The gerrymandering of districts in Alberta which give overweight to rural areas pretty much ensures the Conservatives are going to win in any scenario anyway; and since most migrants are moving to the cities, it&#39;s not like Chandler has anything to worry about.\r\n\r\nGuess the next logical step is to bring back the Alberta Press Bill, and tack on the &quot;notwithstanding clause&quot; to ensure rebel papers and websites are shut down and would-be dissenters are imprisoned -- just like they do in banana republics.'); return false;">Quote</a></div> As I posted in the comments over at Dave's site the other day, I still consider Chandler to be a friend; but this time I too think he has gone way too far.   The gerrymandering of districts in Alberta which give overweight to rural areas pretty much ensures the Conservatives are going to win in any scenario anyway; and since most migrants are moving to the cities, it's not like Chandler has anything to worry about.

Guess the next logical step is to bring back the Alberta Press Bill, and tack on the "notwithstanding clause" to ensure rebel papers and websites are shut down and would-be dissenters are imprisoned — just like they do in banana republics.

Those rabid CON supporters -- eager to get back to Mulroney-like deficits i guess -- just like to always pull out "quit blamin' the governmint!" when it was all they could do to hold the Liberals to account for everything and sundry the previous 13 years.

In effect, his advice to Cullen's constituents effectively said: "I was an opposition MP for good on 13 years and accomplished squat.
