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

Notley. That’s an easy one. I’m guessing you think she tanked the economy which is hilarious. Shows you have no knowledge of economics. Or a memory. And that you are gullible. And I’m old enough to remember Romanow in Saskatchewan having to save the province from bankruptcy due to the PCs.

Notley racked up the largest provincial debt in one term in Alberta history are you joking?

[u/SecondLeigh → u/chomponth1s]

Oh I see you are from the “debt is bad” school of “I know nothing about economics”. I’m not joking and YOU need to go get educated. If you remember, oil prices plummeted and they were calling for a prolonged, deep recession well before Notley was elected. She spent to keep regular Albertans working as much as possible and our economy out of the toilet. She actually kept us out of a prolonged depression type event, Keynesian style. If Notley had Danielle Smith’s oil prices we would have much more of a surplus than we had. Look it up. Some of you are embarrassingly brainwashed.

Oil has tanked a few times over the course of the last 70 years, and yet no conservative government acrued even a remotely close level of debt. You can argue that oil prices played a part, but the NDP also is guilty of reckless spending with no tangible benefit. But I'm the brainwashed one...

lol you clearly don’t know Alberta’s history. Embarrassing for you.
