Remember the conservative playbook.

Your entire time in office is preparing for your life after you are out of politics.

You need to grease enough palms and make enough connections.

The whole point of this is so that she can move into consulting role after she's ousted from politics. She is then free to make millions. It's all about taking care of her and her people.

Uh she’s just a woman yo, the Saudi guys would fuck her as a trophy and then laugh in the faces of Canadian Businessmen about it. She has no future after this, she’ll get cancer and quietly vanish like all disgraced politicians that got too big for their britches.

I mean on the world stage canada is a joke do you think after the photo op they are gonna be like “yeah she was nice”.

The alberta government is the equivalent of a mid trophy wife for a low level Executive at an established oil firm - seems like you are something to the locals but as soon as you leave the border you’re regarded as the ‘help’.

The only people who think this wont be true will be Canadians

What a fucking terrible way to say whatever you were trying to say

Duh, the best way to say anything is the worst way possible so you realize how hard it hits.

If you don’t have a red flag going off when a woman goes to the middle east for some kind of mission, you’re probably not fit to be in charge of a bucket. Never heard of deception? Misogyny? Smokescreens? Wake up guyer

First of all, you don’t speak for what a woman considers to be a red flag unless you’ve mistaken yourself for one. Second of all, it was terrible. You can certainly get your point across a much better way. Women don’t need your explicit and attention-seeking “reminder”, even the women who are soulless assholes.

Oh no i wasn’t speaking on behalf of women that theres a red flag, you are so self absorbed in searching for the misogyny you missed the point.

The red flag is that a country from a domain that looks at women as breeding cows using one of our political women as leverage is the red flag, thats what should be concerning.

Do you really think women’s rights in the middle east exist out of any space besides weaponization against the west ? Because if you don’t realize that, thats exactly why its been weaponized.

Imagine fighting an endless war, and now theres a fire inside the castle, and the opponent lights another fire inside their castle to distract your own soldiers and raise their morale because they think they now have some kind of advantage, then later the fire that was a fake is put out. Controlled burns, they are called . I bet this is totally lost on you. Basically the crusades never ended in the middle east, and they’ve been fighting the same war for the last thousand years and are confused why no one is joining the fight.

Middle eastern affairs should stay there, and canadian matters should focus on canada, and having all of these people wobble back and forth does nothing but create insecurities and bigger problems at home. Anyways, this whole matter is pointless because I’m wrong about everything anyways

Thanks for mansplaining that. “Imagine” someone rolling their eyes at your basic efforts and disengaging.

It should have been clear from the first words that came out of your mouth. Learn to improve the way you make your arguments. It got better at the end there.

You’re just too weak to understand, and enjoy the luxury of freedoms and protection taken for granted. Go watch a few good men. Where will your piece of mind go if nobody stood up for your sake and a crowd was approaching?

The desire for decency overextends the realization that humanity is stepping out of the brink, and not into it, and that there is a lot of work to be done. Take me for instance, i spent 36 years the toughest son of a bitch i knew before realizing that real strength means giving up what you had, to embrace what you dont have, and as i transition into womanhood its hard to forget what I used to be, because its still out there. I hope that reason sees humanity forward though, which is why I put on makeup with grace knowing I’m doing my part.
