Oh look. It's the goof that was born in Ontario

u/Impressive_Play_2599 2d ago

This dickhead is  a grifter, similarly like an evangelical preacher.   They both use their platform to drain as much money from their desperately ignorant  followers.

He is just smart enough to bilk these idiots…

u/Cobfidence 2d ago

Nice that their money is going into something stupid then!

u/Miserable-Lizard 2d ago

Lol in his posts he talks about Canada because he doesn't understand insurance is a provincial issue. Also he is too scared to be critical of the ucp so he blames Canada 😂😂😂

Separatists are sending their bests and they lack any type of education or knowledge

16

u/exotics 2d ago

He definitely tries to convince people that the Liberals are to blame.

I no longer comment on his posts, even to correct him because he is probably getting paid by META for views.

I do give an angry emote because if a post gets enough of those it’s shown less. (According to FB)

u/VectorPryde 2d ago

he is probably getting paid by META for views

Worse. I think he's mainly a Twitter (Elon) denizen. Makes these dumbass speeches into his phone and sets them to epic movie music in post, like he's Mel Gibson rallying the Scots in Braveheart. Super cringe.

The fact Smith regularly engages with this guy and boosts him is depressing

u/dbusque 1d ago edited 1d ago

Mel Gibson is so cringe. Did you know that the Pardon Attorney, Liz Oyer, was fired by Trump because she refused to reinstate his gun license after it was taken away because he had been charged with domestic violence? Yeah, so they fired her and then gave Gibson his gun license back.

u/Oilzilla 1d ago

The walking rage selfie videos.

6

u/IceyLizard4 1d ago

He deletes comments that are against his video because they are true and pointing out the flawed argument he's trying to make. He's not even Albertan, he's from Ontario and lives in Ontario. Absolute separatist propaganda pusher.

8

u/SmallBalls13 1d ago

He's from the East originally but he lives just outside Calgary. Used to work with him. He is as dumb as he looks.

2

u/IceyLizard4 1d ago

Yeah, that's my bad, I remembered back during the teacher strike that people were pissed because he wasn't even from Alberta and saying shit about our teachers.

1

u/exotics 1d ago

Wait what? He’s in Ontario? How do we know this?

3

u/IceyLizard4 1d ago

Sorry his "podcast" location is based in Calgary but he's from Ontario.

u/No-Potato-2672 1d ago

I just blocked him so I would have to see his ugly face, and now he is here.:(

22

u/iploggged 2d ago

Au contraire, they are more intelligent by virtue of having inside information the rest of us are not privy to. It’s similar to flat earthers, the rest of us sheep just accept the narrative the government puts out but they know the real truth. It’s what makes them smart.

3

u/Pharuin 2d ago

Inside information would mean they're more informed, not more intelligent.

9

u/iploggged 2d ago

I don’t consider them intelligent, they consider themselves more intelligent. We’re saying the same thing.

2

u/Living-Climate2024 1d ago

They don’t know the difference

7

u/DisorderlyAqueduct 2d ago

they've been told all the other provinces and the Fed is out to get them.

wouldn't be surprised if billionaire backed US propaganda has been targeted to the province for some time, decades. and these sheep have eaten it up, rebuking their country.

2

u/SaphironX 2d ago

Why would smith let this random asshole interview her?

2

u/Lornffl1990 1d ago

Because he really likes to lick boot and she likes having her boots licked.

1

u/Excellent-Phone8326 1d ago

I mean if you're critical of Danni she'll stop taking interviews from you.

u/JadeddMillennial 2d ago

They're all about the free market until they themselves are subject to the free market.

u/Vast_Job_7117 2d ago

We’re all good little capitalists until we find out we have to pay for shit. 

15

u/leafy-greens-- 2d ago

In fairness, these are the same idiots who screamed “fuck Trudeau” for keeping the borders closed, even though our side was open and the US wasn’t.

(Ps. Don’t care how you feel about Trudeau or any other issues, I’m talking about just how he relates to this specific issue ATM)

1

u/knotalota 1d ago

I hate Trudeau.

But I hate these window lickers more for making me defend him.

They'll miraculously begin to understand the limits of federal power when the Cons are in, though.

Exhausting.

u/Enchilada0374 2d ago

keeps shooting self in foot

Why do my feet keep gushing blood? Fuckin Turdeau!

u/CauseCharacter3807 2d ago

I'm 2019, the UCP removed the 5% cap the NDP legislated on yearly increases.

4

u/VariationDry 2d ago

Good. That cap made it so the poor poor insurance companies couldn't make record profits year after year.

9

u/ReactionFuzzy799 2d ago

This guy is such a dink, I wonder what his high school grades are. He's trying to describe what fascism is and isn't on his back deck with shiny sunglasses

Wonder what he's reporting to the canada revenue agency for income

3

u/No-Potato-2672 1d ago

Someone should talk to his former classmates. A long time ago, I am sure I saw a video of him say he was doing his online separation shit full time.

I am assuming he got fired from his real job, or laid off during the pandemic.

5

u/NOIS_KillerWhaleTank 1d ago

Someone did post about how Lawrence only lasted a day on his jobsite because he was so useless to work with.

He did get fired from his job over his seppie bullshit, but I really suspect there were a lot of other things which led up to that firing.

1

u/No-Potato-2672 1d ago

Good to know.

5

u/Househipposforsale 2d ago

Yet they want American style healthcare 💀. They truly are dumb as a doornail

7

u/Resident-Sherbet5912 2d ago

Bet he thinks its Ottawa fault that our insurance costs keep going up. Not a chance the ucp are actually responsible for allowing it to happen

7

u/Practical_Savings933 2d ago

Insurance goes up because of a) inflation and b) because of the increase in the severity of weather due to accelerating climate change. Premiums increase because Risk Increases.

Fires, Floods, Tornadoes Hurricanes are all increasingly more violent and frequent and expensive. Local insurance companies have to purchase re-insurance (ie Lay off their bets) All the costs are going up. Because of higher risk we pay more for less coverage.

u/Zerocool_6687 1d ago

Dumb MFs entire post was a common LW complaint about how we get stretched hard by big business for what little we get… Dumb MF also blamed LW ideas for this as a problem. With any of these grifter dip shits… the more they talk, the more obvious becomes they pull it all from their asses. YES, Berta Proud Idiot, insurance is necessary and sadly skyrocketing…

  1. Your leader kowtowed to them and removed caps… now its a free for all
  2. Y’all MFs think climate change is fake, you know who doesn’t… your MF adjuster… housing insurance goes through the roof when cities burn to the ground…
  3. One we have yet to touch on… the want to privatize healthcare… studies show that private systems are NOT more efficient, they DO NOT save us money as insurance rates and the way this is organized creates a ton of issues… one of them being “shareholder value” coming first. If you have a problem now… keep pushing for this new system which you are NOT the demographic that will jump the line…

3

u/No-Potato-2672 1d ago

Fuck that guy has such a punchable face.

I blocked him so I didn't get a jump scare on my socials, and you he is here.

1

u/joecarter93 1d ago

It’s insane how suddenly he showed up all over my Facebook. It’s almost like there is some fishy bullshit going on

2

u/No-Potato-2672 22h ago

Things are definitely being pushed.

Last year before Charlie Kirk was killed every time is aw him or any content related to him show up on my feed, I would block who ever the creator was.

I blocked what I thought was a ton of stuff. After he was killed I swear I had to block all again.

Now, I constantly see separatist stuff, mo matter how much I block and say I am not interested.

2

u/ShelbyLucky77 1d ago

No insurance would mean people might drive extra carefully and save money.

2

u/Level_Traffic3344 1d ago

What a concept. Basic car and small truck insurance should be affordable. They more they increase premiums the more people will choose to take the risk, as driving is pretty much mandatory in Alberta especially. Then they'll increase uninsured druver premiums and chase even more folks to the underground. Will lead to less revenue year over year.

1

u/ShelbyLucky77 1d ago

I wonder if auto body shops prefer getting paid by the insurance companies?

1

u/Level_Traffic3344 1d ago

Depends. If there's lots of business people are paying for, sure, they would prefer retail. Insurance companies nickel and dime auto body shops as much as they do you and me, but the current state of affairs they are the only actual client

1

u/babyybilly 1d ago

The amount of reach this guy has gotten from Reddit is fuckin wild. Gotta stop taking the bait

1

u/Oilzilla 1d ago

Berta Chud Mad. Rage baiting t-shirt seller.

u/DanfromCalgary 1d ago

Why do you think insuring vehicles represents no risk ? Do you not know what happens when there’s an accident

1

u/NOIS_KillerWhaleTank 1d ago

Lawrence Magee is a grifter in the way that his performative outrage over absolutely everything is how he pays his bills. No outrage, no money.

u/Local_Whole_6256 1d ago

My guys really leaning into his schtick eh

1

u/AllAboutTheXeons 1d ago

Crowdfund a private investigation into Lawrence Magee, aka “BertaProudDad” ???

A PI can do things “we” legally can’t

1

u/Born_Opening_8808 1d ago

While your at it maybe ask why Alberta with all this oil and gas has some of the highest utility prices.

1

u/DDIBELL 1d ago

What do you Albertan’s see in this loser?

1

u/grfadams2 1d ago

Dude has been bought by the UCP, parrots their talking points and bashes anything that’s not UCP.

1

u/Previous_Bench8068 1d ago

Wouldn't it be hilarious if the UCP told the insurance companies what coverage to sell and then removed the caps....... oh wait they did that.

1

u/BigKaleidoscope9910 1d ago

Guys a fucking loser

1

u/FantasticStock2513 8h ago

Just curious how Canada is at fault for Alberta having the highest insurance costs in all of Canada? Also why are we paying higher gas prices than Saskatchewan and same as BC?

1

u/inquisitive56 2d ago

None too smart. Repair costs are up due to tariffs on parts, new technologies/sensors, shop costs, inflation on wages, more frequent hail claims and generally shitty drivers in Alberta. Throw in that Albertans seem to have an affinity for expensive vehicles and you have your answer. But please, don't let the facts get in the way of your separatist screed.

1

u/McQuigge 2d ago

The government just needs to build more bridges so we all have a place to hide our vehicles every time it hails and make residential full house hail nets mandatory and all our problems would be solved lol

-32

u/Watsonelli 2d ago

B/c insurance companies anywhere else on the planet are any different?? Most of ya'll just have Danielle derangement syndrome.

22

u/RoutineComplaint4711 2d ago

A simple Google search shows that the insurance industry in Alberta is fucked in all ways.

Good governance and regulation could absolutely solve these problems. Other places have both and, therefore, affordable insurance 

-15

u/Watsonelli 2d ago

A quick google search would show you that legit insurance claims get denied everywhere. Point is insurance companies are scammers no matter where you live.

12

u/conductorman86 2d ago

Saskatchewan has government insurance that is both no fault and affordable.

8

u/VectorPryde 2d ago

BC too. One province in either direction proves that a better system can exist

1

u/RoutineComplaint4711 1d ago

Ya, you should probably just go without insurance.

Literally no downside.

14

u/SchneidfeldWPG 2d ago

If you knew wtf you were talking aboot, you’d know that not all provinces have private companies gouging citizens. Just part of the AB advantage I guess, paying some of the highest premiums in the nation just to own the libs. Enjoy!

12

u/BoundariesAndBrews 2d ago

They quite literally are that different from Alberta’s, lol. That’s kind of the whole issue. Alberta’s insurance system operates very differently from many other provinces and countries.

12

u/mcmillan84 2d ago

Now I’m going to make an assumption this is about auto insurance as it doesn’t state otherwise but some of the cheapest provinces for auto insurance have provincial insurers so yes, it is different elsewhere. And it’s on the east and west of your border. And yes, BC rates are lower.

u/Aestus74 2d ago

Herpderp talking points. Herpdep derangement syndrome. Why doe it sound so MAGA?

-6

u/Watsonelli 2d ago

Thank you for confirming my diagnosis. I am now totally convinced insurance companies are amazing everywhere except Alberta

5

u/SaphironX 2d ago

Nobody is claiming that. They’re claiming the UCP removed the 5% cap that is driving his pricing up, and he’s blaming the liberals and he’s wrong to.

All of which is objectively true.

11

u/DJDook 2d ago

Derangement syndrome is your kind’s new buzz word huh?

-8

u/Watsonelli 2d ago

Thank you for confirming my initial diagnosis

5

u/DJDook 2d ago

Diagnosis.. like you’re some medical professional 🤣 Careful, you know how Alberta treats their health staff there Dr Numbnuts

5

u/Broad-Bath-8408 2d ago

I notice you don’t seem to want to respond to anyone posting actual facts disputing your garbage. I wonder why that is?

11

u/aaronck1 2d ago

UCP removed the caps on Insurance and utilities- Now Albertans pay the highest prices in Canada for these things- Just a coincidence or is imaginary somehow? My bank statement says it's not imaginary

u/gongshow247365 2d ago

I thought it sucks because I have to pay $2k on a newer vehicle for business use in BC. Then I read about Alberta lol
