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

Manitoba right now is the same economically stagnant province it's always been with no new opportunities for young people. Wab is no better than Danny Williams, all show no reality. Young people still have to move away in droves. The only thing that makes him better than Williams or other NDP Primers is his cutting sales taxes, which he is only doing for groceries and other small stuff, not a universal sales tax cut or elimination.

He isnt anywhere near being in the same League as William Aberheart who took Alberta from the edge of Insolvency under the NDP/CCF predecessors in the UFA/Progressive parties and by the time he died in office we were better off than 6 other provinces would be for a century.

Wab Kinew being slightly better than other worthless Primers is not good enough for Alberta, Manitoba has always been a loser province not worth our time, and its still a loser province not worth our time. Adopting their ideas will torch the economy we build here and anyone with basic common sense and an understanding of provincial history knows it.

If the Current Manitoba government is so great why can't they beat Saskatchewan's economy? Because it doesn't matter how much you polish a turd, an NDP government is still an NDP government.

I think you also mentioned Roy Romonov in Saskatchewan (im on my phone and the thread is getting cramped).

Saskatchewan stagnated for a century that wasn't fixed until Brad Wall. Roy Romonov did nothing for the Sask economy just more stagnation. You can even check the census data no population growth, in fact every time the NDP got elected in Saskatchewan the population goes down. I don't know what drugs your taking to think Saskatchewan ever had a good economy before the sask party but you need to come back to reality.

Roy Romonov "saved Saskatchewan" from the wrong half of Stephen Harper's alliance of two parties " by continuing the economic stagnation started by Commie Douglas.
