ALBERTA BULLSHIT METER . Level 1 – Smell What it is: That faint, unsettling aroma. Your BS detector just twitched. How it feels: Nothing outrageous, just a tiny whiff that makes you go, “Hmm…” Level 2 – Dried Cow Patty What it is: An old, crusty talking point they keep re-serving. How it works: Like “cutting red tape” – it’s been dry for ages, but they hope you’ll still trip over it. Level 3 – Fresh Cow Patty What it is: Brand new spin, fresh from the source, and still steaming! How it works: Think “record investments” while funding quietly shrinks. It’s sticky, watch your step! Level 4 – Dysentery What it is: It’s gone viral! This BS is everywhere – your feed, your TV, work talk. How it works: Like the Alberta Pension Plan push: relentless, unavoidable, and makes you feel sick. Level 5 – Calf What it is: Sounds innocent enough, but this little calf is growing fast. How it works: Like “Alberta should handle its own policing.” It’s gaining traction, and it’s got a kick you won’t see coming. Level 6 – Steer What it is: This one’s a full-grown steer – big, powerful, and charging. How it works: Like “we’re being treated unfairly by Ottawa!” It’s got serious momentum and is pushing real changes. Level 7 – Buckin’ Bull What it is: Hold onto your hats! This bull is bucking wildly. How it works: Flip-flops, gaslighting, and outright lies. They can’t keep their story straight, and it’s a dizzying ride of contradictions. Level 8 – Stampede What it is: Full-blown chaos! The BS is a flood, and you’re caught in the stampede. How it works: Push polls, twisted news, and everyone’s being subtly nudged to agree. It’s hard to think straight when everyone’s running. Top left note: “Note: ‘Bullshit’ is used here in accordance with its academic definition. — See Frankfurt (2005), On Bullshit, Princeton UP”

With all the BS flying around in Alberta, I figured it was time we had better tools to measure it.
So here it is—the Alberta Bullshit Meter.
From faint whiffs to full-blown stampedes, this scale tracks just how far the spin goes.
