McBrides Bakery hosts Recall Canvassers. Separatists call re: Canvassers
I’m really trying to grasp how this separatist idea has continued on for so long. Maybe it’s the best distraction possible when the provincial government is doing all kinds of back room deals.
The bakery hosting the recall petition is the same bakery that allowed the forever Canada people to go full on elbows up. With Thomas Lukasik saying that Medicine Hat was a major outlier in terms of response to the “forever Canada“ petition.
I’ve never seen any meaningful explanation for what “elbows up“ actually means, but it seems to have something to do with stance and posting in my mind. In hip-hop music, they say things like “throw your Rollies in the sky“ which, if you are unfamiliar, means to raise your Rolex adorned wrist, hand, and arm, above your head, a nuanced command that you dance to the music. Are we flexing on the haters?
I played minor league baseball for a little while, and I remember that when you are at bat the batting coach would often remind you to keep your elbows up, so that you are in a more ready swinging position if the pitch comes in really fast. Are we standing ready to hit one out of the park?
The high school I went to had a mascot of a leprechaun looking fellow with his dukes up, he was called the fighting Irish. During my second year at that high school, they deemed this to be a promotion of violence. Our sports teams were known for fighting on the rank, and sometimes in the parking lot.
This article is not written with AI, like ChatGPT, rock, Gemini, any of that shit. I found it fascinating at first, but lately it just pisses me off. Stuff like this is only useful in some situations, so if you enjoy reading my stuff, please comment at the bottom of this article with a story of a fight that you remember from high school or even earlier.
Was this a liberal call to ready the red for a fight against the blue? (I’ve always found it funny that our political parties shared the same colours as most video games player one and player two characters #doubledragon2)
Whatever it was, it seems to resonate at the bakery. Maybe elbows up was some kind of code for when you toss a pizza dough up in the air to stretch it out.
anyone who is watching the local political discourse probably knows that Brendan over at Mcbrides Bakery doesn’t shy away from the political controversy, and doesn’t seem to mind if people express their distaste for his political cartoons, or his fully baked hot takes. But he consistently says that it’s not affecting business at all.
I have added a pole question on the front page of the website, which I employ you to respond so that I can try to get a better idea of what Medicine Hat thinks about separation.
What I do know is that last time the Alberta prosperity project tried to hold an event locally, their venue was cancelled after complaints and they ended up having a meeting in Redcliffe, which Kelly and I attended, I also was able to interview Maudrie…
I rarely bother with sign in sheets and guest books, but Kelly noticed that at that event the paperwork they were presenting at a table in the entryway was actually a ad hoc petition to gather signatures for what has now become a quasi referendum question.
The strange part for me is that there doesn’t seem to be any canvassers in Medicine Hat, agent Smith’s stomping grounds.
Apparently, the separatists need 177,000 signatures in the next * Looks at nonexistent watch * uhh 117 days?
On top of that, when I emailed the Alberta prosperity project about how they are getting the canvassers out with petitions for the campaign, I got this email back explaining about how they aren’t really part of it anymore and it’s just Mitch Sylvester with this new Alberta website. The timing seems odd. Also considering jeff Rath, Their lawyer guy is going in for a professional review, where there is a possibility of him being disbarred.
more on that soon. Here are the dates and times for recall petitions.
