Danielle Smith applies for refugee status in USA
COUTTS, AB - Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has arrived on foot at the Coutts-Sweet Grass border crossing station, petitioning for refugee status in the US on the grounds of being persecuted in her home country.
In the "Beaverton headlines I wish were real" category, I present the January 2025 winner.
I can’t believe we voted her in. I mean I can because Albertans are gullible morons, but I can’t believe it got this bad.
Just checking you're aware the article is satire.
Upon having it explained to her that applying for asylum in the United States first requires one to register with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Smith exclaimed “But I’m white,” before demanding to speak to the concierge at Mar-A-Lago
Is it though?
You can tell its satire because it sounds less insane than any of the real things Smith says or does on a daily basis.
I'd argue that even knowing the article is satire, their comment stands.
Oh I know.
She wasn't 'voted in' in the traditional sense..
Jason Kenney stepped down due to numerous scandals and mishaps. The conservative party of Alberta (The UCP) then held a members only vote to elect their new fuhrer.
70k people picked her in a province of multiple million
There was an election since the last UCP leadership race which they won.
Welp, I definitely ate the Onion with this one. Reality is so fucking bonkers at this point that it's hard to tell what's satire and what isn't.
Traitorous POS.
FFS, for a a good minute they actually had me!
Its so hard to discern reality from fiction these days, am I having some psychosis or schizophrenia, and the real world hasn't gone insane?
How can any self respecting peasant vote for this regime whore...
This Idiot can't figure which regime she is legally obligated to whore for.
How did she get elected into Canadian public office but be so willing to suck daddy Sam's dick so eagerly.
From America this looks pathetic, tell daddy Sam to get fucked. American pedons need another state.
Seeing some elements of the right entertaining these brain dead talking points is concerning though.
They don't see how this is exactly what Putin does and even entertaining them gives Russia credibility.
The Beaverton is a satire website. This is not reality.
Dude, you are not making any sense. Are you from Alberta? She was elected to represents interests of Albertants, and this is what she is trying to do, as she understands it. It is up to the Alberta's voters to judge her next election, not some internet randos.
I'm sure she'd feel right at home in Florida.
