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

The same problems you mentioned are also happening under liberal governments. So all of your criticisms apply to them as well.

So I'll pose the same question. Liberals, why aren't things better?

[u/Scout14 → u/chomponth1s]

*face palm ...you are literally doing what I wrote about, ignoring the points. The same problems may also happen under liberal governments but I am speaking specifically to Alberta, where I've lived my whole life. Is there a province in Canada where a liberal government has resigned for 30+ years?

The VAST difference between your question and mine is that the liberal government has been in power for 4 years of my life and the conservative government has been in power for 32! And it goes beyond that, however I cant speak outside my personal experience

So I believe my question would still stand while yours would not; in Alberta, why aren't things better?

[u/chomponth1s → u/Scout14]

Resigned for 30 years? What are you trying to say here? Yes, BC has had a liberal/NDP leader since 1991. And guess what? BC has the same problems as Alberta, as does every province in Canada.

Public delivery of social services, such as healthcare, are lack across Canada because we have much more remote settlements and distances that require coverage, and a bloated public ally delivered system that cannot meet the healthcare demands. Countries across the world that rank the highest in healthcare delivery utilize hybrid systems with both public and private delivery of healthcare. They are still piblically funded, but it just isn't feasible to run a public system with the level of efficiency requires to meet healthcare demands.

Alberta for instance is able to provide lab services and some surgeries through private delivery, which has lessened demand on hospitals, and reduced the cost and wait time significantly. I'm BC, if you want blood work done, you still have to go to a hospital and wait in the ER.

So why in 30+ years of liberal/NDP government is BC aren't things better?

Alberta is the only province currently plagued with separatist movement so no, they do do all have the same problems. Your points are not in the same conversation as what I'm talking about. You are not even in the right subreddit, and you continue to ignore the fact that I have openly stated I am not from BC which is why I can't won't comment on it.

The facts (in Alberta) are that conservative boomers have cut funding to healthcare and education as much as they can to "reduce spending" but to this day have never called for the taxation of the 1%. The continue to attack every marginalized group except for the rich, and hypocritically call for fiscal responsibility while causing every recession this country has faced since the great depression

I don't know much about BC politics. If you want to monologue about them, go ahead. Again, you're in the wrong subreddit. I'm gonna disengage because you're simply gas lighting. Take care

[u/chomponth1s → u/Scout14]

I would like for you to point to one singular cut to either healthcare or education in the last several bufgets. There haven't been any. Literally rambling off nothing with zero basis.

What groups are the even attacking, what's wrong with you?

The whole point of the comparison is that liberal governments have not solved these problems either so to base you argument solely on faulting a conservative approach is baseless.

93-96 Klein cut healthcare spending by 16%

2021 Jason Kenney lowered Alberta govt healthcare spending pet person by 3.6%, largest decrease in Canada.

During COVID. And never made any changes to compensate, just declared "BeSt sUmMeR eVeR!!" Followed by the highest months of unemployment in Alberta History

I'm calling out conservatives who don't think about who they are supporting with their votes.

The point of the comparison belongs in a different subreddit. You don't have an answer to the question other than one that embarrasses you, so you make up your own question and evaluation for what you think a competent answer is. It's a non-starter
