Nice to know the NDP has their priorities in order.

Technically speaking Mayor Potsie is NDP.

Pfft on the Edmonton mayor and his vegetarians, or the Calgary Mayor and his hipster cat tweets.

Our Vancouver Mayor gets to meet the Pope so he can complain about all the sunshine we've been getting lately - pardon me, climate change.

Who's the real Progressive now, Edmonton? Whose Mayor's gonna look better in the skinny jeans Calgary?

Oh yeah, and we get bike lanes on the bridges and we were only a pubic hair away from a great new progressive bus tax before those damn righties organized and struck it down, and there's a garden in back of city hall. It's even organic, so there.

What's wrong with bike lanes? Seems a great way to get some folks off the road, reduce pollution and keep people active. If only it weren't for those people on the bikes and their ridiculous "Hey Look I'm Circumcized" pants.

Well for one thing...where I am, nobody ever uses them.

And I always forget they're there and cut them off early when I'm turning right.

It's been OK so far, but someday some whiny hipster is going to accidentally wander over the bridge talking into his Iphone headset or something and he's going to somehow - through evil, Prog magic or something - appear in my intersection and smack into my rear end.

I don't actually mind that in itself, but technically he's going to be in the right on any claim, which does piss me off, cause I'd hate that...to be wrong in an argument with a hipster I mean.

It's never happened, but I know I'd hate it if it ever did.

Bike lanes are great in Vancouver, Edmonton as you said no one uses them and the lines haven't been repainted in a while. $11,000,000

I wouldn't even eat "with" a Kardashian.

Meat's too fucking expensive and there will be no bullshit with dietary restrictions
a nice CONSERVATIVE argument back to the blockheads who use liberal, progressive, socialist and NDP like they were some sort of insult

[Yogi]

Leave the menue as it is and those who don't wan't to eat meat can slurp head cheese instead!
