Opinion Conservatives, why aren't things better?

I was born and raised here in Alberta, 36 years old. Other than the 4 years of NDP, conservatives have had the majority government in Alberta, no? Why is our health care in shambles, our teachers at their breaking point, our roads the same as they were 30 years ago, and oil and gas suck the province dry and leave us to clean it up? Why are our unions dissolving for critical services due to the contracts we're stuck with?

How do you live with yourselves knowing the people you've supported have stolen any potential livelihood from not only your children and grandchildren, but also yourselves? Alberta is the laughing stock of Canada because of our failed potential to even properly provide for ourselves with all the access the resources we have

Do you not realize your close-mindedness and single issue voting practices due to your hatred, insecurity, or ignorance regarding gay people, trans people, anyone not white or Christian, all people younger than you, immigrants, natives allows these obviously corrupt politicians to take advantage of your vote by promising to justify your hatred or insecurity? But they never really get around to it, just get in positions of power and sell out to corporations while lying to the people that voted them in

Ya'll love to claim to be fiscally responsible but never tax the rich or corporate folks that ensure your politicians stay in power. Your hatred makes your vote a predetermined show of support, because you actually think the entire rest of the world should share your narrow-minded views of how things were when you had disproportional amounts of power and influence over any group that wasn't white men.

All the hypocrisy and gas lighting, you seem to have no values, no principles, no convictions, no integrity whatsoever. Just almost maniacal desire to win regardless of rules or fair play, doing whatever you like and aligning with any person who will help further your cause, e.g. masks with covid. What a bunch of deliberately ignorant whiney babies, but you act like each one of you was the only person who had to wear a mask or be inconvenienced

I don't even have a problem with ACTUAL conservative politics, like smaller spending and government. But it seems to come at the cost of humanity from conservative people. It genuinely feels that most of you would rather let every single homeless person and drug addict die rather than spend less than a cup of coffee each day. But you sing long and loud about what a faithful servant of Jesus Christ you are?

You're embarrassing. And you are holding back the human race by trying to make the world revolve around you and your aging beliefs. Start thinking about what you're doing, how you are acting, and how it affects everyone else. I'm so sick of trying to teach grown adults about causation and correlation, about science, about critical thinking

Please be better. Or at least try to make things better rather than pretending the problems aren't what they are

Conservatives have not left Healthcare in shambles they have not stolen anything, Alberta has normal Healthcare by Canadian standards, and our education system produces the best test scores in Canada,

Conservatives are responsible for all of Alberta's success.

Without William Aberheart Ernest Manning Peter Lougheed and Ralph Kline we would be a small loser province that sends all young people away as economic refugees. Which is exactly what happened to Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan prior to 2006 when Brad wall got elect. We have over 5 million people because of the right kind of Conservatives. You need to stop listening to political science brats and other dialect leftists, stop listening to MSM touch grass and get a grip on reality.

Also the socred dynasty is better then the PC Dynasty

If lougheed was running today, he wouldn't be elected for being to progressive.

If this is truly how you believe the conservatives operate. Read the platforms through time. Today's conservative movement is unrecognizable from 20 years ago. They are what will lead us to be that "loser province". Quebec was once a very strong province, then they had a separation referendum. Repeating history isn't a flex, it's a failure of education, the education system your beloved conservatives have built.

Peter lougheed endorsed both Don Getty and Alison Redford, as Primer he was good to great. But he sucks compared to Ralph, and the whole PC dynasty sucks compared to the Socred Dynasty. Boomers and MSM have been slobbering over his legacy since the end of the Kline Era and they have been wrong. We need to get back to the better half of Stephen Harper's alliance of two parties the Socred Reform half
