what i found

Nothing matching up to the hype. All that TDS fueled ranting for a decade and nothing to show for it.

I had someone on this forum tell me I was a conspiracy theorist because I said that White men have been discriminated against in the workforce for being White men.

That's what leftists believe counts as a conspiracy theory. Facts.

it is a conspiracy theory. A conglomerate of non-whites and self-hating white guilt apologists conspired to discriminate against whites in the workforce. they openly talk about how they conspire about this too. Its a true conspiracy theory.

Stop equating conspiracy theory with crazy probably-fake theory. It's one of the earliest Orwellian newspeaks there is.

"It was consensus, not Conspiracy. There was no need for planning, the Progs simply agreed to the implied plan and all did their part"

Love that, probably horribly butchered, quote from A Desert Called Peace because its so accurate. I don't think there's some grand conspiracy with planners and secret meetings, I think they simply all agree with each other so its not needed.

In the midst of this lenghty hit piece, the so called journalist drops this gem:

"A surprising number of plugged-in political insiders in Alberta believe malign foreign actors may be playing a role — an argument backed up now by multiple media reports."

The media reports:

https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/article/russia-amplifying-alberta-separatism-debate-to-stoke-division-study/

It's never a conspiracy theory to them when it's Russia. They admit the alleged Russian disinformation aligns with already existing beliefs, but the libs in the east who many Albertans rightfully want to escape from will eat this up.

The MUH RUSSIAN CONSPIRACY is even more retarded when it comes to this topic, since an independent Alberta would be able to export its oil to more foreign markets easier...displacing Russian oil which is their cash cow.

Russia has motivation to prevent Alberta leaving not helping it.

Exactly the same with Hillary and Trump. They already owned Hillary they had her bought & paid for AND they had tons of actual blackmail material on her too. If she'd become PotUS they had plenty of her mis-handled classified materials to pin on her.
Trump was not their choice, it was Hillary all the way. Well, after Bernie, their real #1 stooge. All $144K spent vs her $1BILLION dollar campaign, eh?

when both sides see the other as irredeemably insane, divorce is the peaceful option.

Is the Toronto Star one of the news outlets being paid off by the Liberal Party? If you don't like conspiracy theories, stop conspiring.

Yes, they get over >$100k/wk and that was years ago, probably much more now.

Yes, as one of the "leading local papers" they went 100% all-Liberal decades ago. It got even worse once Trudeau got in 11 years or so ago. If that can be imagined. The Star is absolute shit.
