      Well one is a province and one is a State. I can’t believe how dumb people are. It is a bad joke espcially America treating the 51st state.

        I’m confused, if Alberta is a province, why does it act like a state? Why is the governor of Alberta lined up in the cold outside the Trump inauguration and why does she frequently visit Maralago? Why is an Alberta MP on Joe Rogan outlining his kettlebell routine?

          That’s just our politicians. Politicians are morons.

          There’s a lot of morons in Alberta too. Just like in Ontario, and Manitoba, and wherever else. It’s a real epidemic.

          There’s lots of normal people in Alberta too. People that just go about their daily business. Remember that 47.3% of people that voted in Alberta, didn’t vote for the UCP.

              That’s an effect of FPTP though, not necessarily the reflection of the population as a whole. Alberta is especially affected by FPTP because of its population layout. The next race will almost certainly be decided in Calgary, pretty much no matter what happens elsewhere in the province. If everything stays status quo that is.

      Texas, Alberta, what’s the difference?

      You’re probably confused, as Alberta is a province that is a part of Canada.

      Since the warning was about the company not being Canadian (and not a warning that the company is not Albertan), your question doesn’t work.

      Unless of course it was your intent to show that you’re dumber than a sack of hammers.

          If I had concerns with the format of the joke, I would have pointed out the formatting issue.

          The content doesn’t work. If you sub in the correct word (Canada instead of Alberta) then the “joke” reply becomes: Texas, Canada, what’s the difference?

          Not funny, but at least follows the forms.

          The correct joke would have been:

          Just pretend they came from Alberta (our local yokels sometimes like to say Alberta is Texas north)).

            Yikes, I hope you’re one day able to find some joy in life and can look at something that is a joke you don’t find funny/don’t understand and just ignore it instead of whatever this is.

              I absolutely love amateur online psychologists.

              and can look at something that is a joke you don’t find funny/don’t understand and just ignore it instead of whatever this is.

              This is rather rich advice while you yourself dip in to engage.

              But since you’re engaging while clueless, I’ll explain it to you. A stupid joke was made on an incorporation post about boycotting US goods. I elected to give them a hard time, specifically because the joke was poor, and flippant about an important topic. That’s it.

              Now, pop psychologists such as yourself, amateurs in linguistics and semiotics want to keep the ball rolling.

              Be honest with yourself: When you decided to post, it was with the intention and expectation of getting a response. So tell me, Mr. Amateur psychologist, in what way does you seeking engagement with me line up with your advice to me to “just ignore it”?
