I don’t watch much news on TV, so sometimes things sneak up on me. Yesterday, I was on Alberta Prime Time’s political panel, and as I was yammering on about methane they ran some B-roll of Brian Jean. It took everything I had to keep talking and not shout “What is that on Brian Jean’s face? IT IS FANTASTIC.”
The bearded hipster look has been co- opted by the alt right, so he’s right on brand. This happened about 4 years ago everywhere else, so the fashion trend in Alberta is right on time.
So, the spoiled little rich girl masquerading as Premier jetted off to Dubai without Alberta's energy minister. Wow, just wow. Curiously, it reminds me of Milton's "A dog starved at his master's gate, forecasts the ruin of the state."
Thanks for the link, Lisa. The Best of Alberta Politics survey is always looking for new special categories. I think Brian Jean might be in a league of his own for #ableg facial hair. Lol.
Hahaha, good one Lisa; I was also taken aback by it but not favourably; I prefer the trimmed style....good news from Dubai though too eh? If I read it right Denial and/or Alberta got the "fossil award?" Nice to see them singled out but Curly Joe must have been a bit miffed.
Lisa: Brian Jean looks like he'd fit in on an episode of Grizzly Adams, with that beard. On a more serious note, he was against Danielle Smith for ruining the Wildrose party, and now he is supportive of her. Personally, I do not see Danielle Smith remaining as premier. I just don't.
BeardWatch2023 begins, its like smoke from the Vatican--if its shaved it symbolizes the election of a new party leader...
That beard needs its own chair! It is so over the top that I have to agree with you that it is a huge act of rebellion. But, get the Beard a chair!

Interesting take, hope you’re correct. Personally I do not like his beard but if it’s a revolt, I’m all for it.
My aunt was a civil servant in Ottawa; once she said there was a rumour that Allan McEachen planned to run for leader because he'd had a new haircut.
Excellent post! The bellwether beard. Love it!

grows by the day. a Pinocchio beard???
He looks a bit like "HERO" from Player's Navy Cut. Too toxic for me.
MLA Jean looks like a Mountain Man. Unfortunately, from some of his statements, he does not know very much about our mountains or where the coal is.

You made me laugh through the pain!
Well folks I have a stronger statement about the beard. I hate it!! Too much beard.
I think Brian Jean's beard is hideous. Needs a good trim.
