Only in Alberta?

harper.jpg
Hold your horses: We wouldn’t say that, uh, necessarily. But we could, because it’s currently an Edmonton man’s bumper sticker. And we would just be reading something that someone else wrote.
A dude named Rob Wells from the good ol’ Red Deer-Edmonton corridor is driving around with the words “FUCK HARPER” plastered on his rear bumper – and the RCMP can’t do nothing about it. Could this be a possible business opportunity in Toronto? If so, best to get those stickers out while Harps is still harping around Ontario for support. Then again, bumper stickers might be more of an Alberta thing.

    There was the “Stop Harper” button campaign last election, as pictured in this horrid pic: http://quirkynomads.com/photos/index.php?showimage=280
    But yes, I knew the peoples behind it, and still have lots of the pins sitting around if anyone wants?
    (I personally would love some ‘fuck harper’ schwag too!)

  2. Thank god this started out there. Now, self-righteous Albertans can’t blame it all on Torontonians and our Eastern big city ways.

    i’m surprised you sophisticated folks at TOist would want to copy or even promote such a vulgar and insulting slogan from some red-neck in rural alberta. at least “It’s the Charter Stupid!” was not so crude and made the point. Why is it when someone puts ‘FUCK’ in the beginning, middle or end of a slogan, it’s cool. It displays total ignorance and very little creativity.

    Yes, pickup trucks may not be suitable in Toronto.
    How about sticking the stickers in TTC streetcars on King Street W…since we all know Mr. Harper loves riding those!

    I consider myself rather intellectual. And the fact that I’m an American who knows who Harper is, should give you a hint as to how big of an asshole he is. Just look at him smiling. Errrrrgh. He’s like bush’s twin in Ottawa.

    I might buy that bumper sticker.
    Then again, I have a rabid dislike of any mainstream party that doesn’t seem to maintain a toronto office.

  7. Gary says:

    amen billonlogan. no fan of Harper, but this is a garbage post.

  8. Stevo says:

    Not mentioned is the fact that the RCMP harassed
    him for expressing freedom of speech with
    that bumper sticker.

    Is this what the left has come to? Taking inspiration from the back of an Edmontonian’s pick-up truck? Shame on yourselves. :o)
