best of 2019: Alberta forbidden words

UCP provincial government orders public schools to remove the word "public" from their names. Education minister: Adriana LaGrange, Aug15 by ministerial order. 

Lagrange is the Kenney leadership Red Deer pro-life stacker (special guest: hapner). See also Jason Kenney's 2016 interview with Ezra Levant.

Lagrange only was "simplifying naming conventions," along the lines of other "simple" things like UCP firing Elections Commissioner (Bill 22, "only merging" with Elections Alberta).

 

Ministerial rating: 0/5

best of 2018: USA forbidden words

The Trump admin's 7 deadly sins banned words at the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) are:
vulnerable
diversity
entitlement
transgender
fetus
evidence-based
science-based

HONOURABLE MENTION: A Republican dead pimp is elected in Nevada! Roger Stone called Dennis Hof the Trump of Pahrump. Trump's grandfather made a family nest egg peddling booze, food and women in Bennett BC. Very inspirational!

In other news, a Snopes report on the dentist (that shot Cecil a rare black-maned lion in 2015) and  Trump's newly-formed wildlife conservation council. In 2017, Cecil's son Xanda also was killed by a trophy hunter in Zimbabwe.

9/17/35 - mackay repatriation flites

Sept 28, 2011. "In approximately 50 per cent of the total challenger flights minister MacKay has taken, he has taken these flights to attend the repatriation of fallen military personnel," spokesman Jay Paxton told CTV News in an email.

However, documents show that out of 35 flights, only nine were for repatriation ceremonies. In fact, many of the flights were for press conferences and political announcements. article
"Peace Tower flag won't be lowered for military deaths," April 24, 2006
In 2006: The Conservative government says from now on the flag atop the Peace Tower in Ottawa will not be lowered to half-mast in honour of fallen Canadian soldiers... For more than 80 years Canada honoured its war dead by lowering flags on federal buildings on Remembrance Day. Former prime minister Jean Chrétien changed that in April 2002, when 4 Canadian soldiers were killed by U.S. bombs in Afghanistan. article

a wortzel about chuckles and paramilitary parapoops

"The last First World War combatant, who has died aged 110, was staunchly anti-war and snubbed remembrance day despite a 41-year navy career that began when he was just 14. He refused to mark Armistice Day or join other veterans' events like Australia's annual ANZAC Day commemorations." (Claude Chuckles Choules, d. 5 May 2011)

In Canada, the last WWI vet didn't want fanfare, so the government gave it to him. In Calgary, the Calatrava Bridge controversy with overruns and improper approvals nearly bent itself sideways into The Bow - with the other real estate scandal (or another or other or other) - to become the pricey Piece Bridge to honour soldiers, so everyone just forgot about the issues, and the fact there are 2 other foot bridges, not far away, and it appears this one is for the high-end condos?

Memorial drive flags, the foliage hides 'lest we.' And that's not even half of it: the Centre Street Bridge rebuilt upper lion lower deck's vibrations in a jumpy, jumpy late 2008 and the satellite crashes with an (almost) in February '09 on Friday 13th. There were big dreams about it, a city on a big terrible fire, followed by a prorogue or 2 or three, and now there is public transit on the vista.
Initially, the information indicated the space debris was headed for Calgary, but a short time later that was revised to an area 110 kilometres east of the city. read more

mister canada gov - $26m economic caption plan

Clearly, ... Friends
Holy mcLuntz-and-disruption-manuals Jobotomy bobblehead meme! Now, after the $26m 3 month radio and TV campaign for the party, a record-breaking $1.2b G20 summit, and even a dispute with the Pentagon about the double cost of 200 F-35 jets (or their not often talked about Mulroney Winnipeg's Bristol Aerospace 1986 expensive maintenance contract)(and... no engines...?) and $300m prorogue, 2008, which all of course are someone else's fault like a wife batter's alibi, there's a new caption in TV town.

Friends. Listen. It's probably better, let me be clear, for the time being, and abandon the fact of the matter. Luntz's current company, The Word Doctors ("It's not what you say, it's what they hear"), specializes in message creation and image management for commercial and political clients.

on Fokus Pokus groups
Lemme guess: Harper is finger-pointy synonymous with "government of canada" (see:  "re-branded" "harper" "canada" "government"), which is reverse synonymous with Adanac (see: satanism or reverse speech or libtards or Taliban jackoffs, Ali Kaida, green terrorisms), which is synonymous, no antonymous, with TheTeaPotParty (see: perpetual campaigning), which is
reverse speech/ hceeps esrever
synonymous, maybe, with contempt (just made-up)(see: parliament), which is synonymous with canlit, no, hockey lit or water bottles for kiddies, which is synonomous with [insert US president] Administration and harmonization... (etcetera).(ca 2003: "National myth? Hockey?? -  write a goddamn hockey book!"} New logo for Canada? Forward-moving font, momentum, "on-the-move" parallelogram, Go-team,-go!

And from the University of Pennsylvania, no less.

the caption plan - cost: $26m
Read on to find out how Environment Minister Ambrose is using Frank Luntz's tactics almost to the letter these days ("Bush's Chief Climate "Spinmaster" Tells Harper How It's Done"). New Conservative Party of Canada logo? Canada logo? Hard to no, it's mixed up. Strong Staples government, and oops, PM know longer taking questions on local campaigns. It's the Klein Public affairs bureau, all over again.
A manual of "key messages" produced exclusively for Alberta Progressive Conservative MLAs by the Public Affairs Bureau verges on propaganda, is a partisan misuse of taxpayers' money and provides the governing party with an unfair advantage, a panel of political scientists says.

"This manual is a straight-up abuse of taxpayers' money because it is money that is being used to communicate what the Tory party is doing, not what the government is doing," said Jonathan Rose, a Queen's University professor.
Leader with PeoplePaper
Words That Work: It's Not What You Say, It's What People Hear. It seems they can't tell the difference, just don't get it, mister fixed election dates. Kind of like national debt (up) and a GST reduction, lollipops for the kids, like Ralph Klein's election bucks when the deregulation fiasco didn't reduce consumers' energy bills and things got hot. Presto! The Prosperity Bonus! public pacifier. It's getting kind of funny: "the world will go wrong if I-me-me don't get majority. We need STABILITY! Luntz frequently tests word and phrase choices using focus groups and interviews.

Martin gained an important ally in GOP pollster Frank Luntz, whose polling revealed that "death tax" sparked voter resentment in a way that "inheritance tax" and "estate tax" couldn't match. Brampton whistle stop (March 27 2011 - the 4th federal election in less than 7 years!), where another booger drops out of the body politic. Giulio Maturi, who was a top official in the campaign of disgraced former Montreal mayoral candidate Benoit Labonté in 2009, was listed as late as Wednesday afternoon as the campaign manager for a Montreal Conservative candidate. [Agop Evereklian, Pierrefonds-Dollard riding]  The other: Sebastien Togneri, former aide to Christian Paradis, was helping with Ryan Hastman's campaign.[Edmonton-Strathcona] There is no consequence for Contempt of Parliament.
