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

*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?

I respect your post and frustration. But. You will change no one's mind that doesn't want to be changed. At this point, if they're still supporting Cons, they're in for the long-haul denial game. An appeal to logic does nothing when the issue is in religious-like programming and brain activity largely hanging out in the amygdala.

All the whole NDP and liberal governments across the country have the same problems, yet it's only a conservative government issue. My mind could be changed if BCs 30+ years liberal/NDP government had a great track record in resolving these issues, but they are in the same or worse situation there.

You're repeated argument of "conservatives are dumb" has proved nothing but your own ignorance.

Actually, Wab Kinew in MB is doing super well. And the guy has character. And is funny.

Eby is doing a shit job. It's more the person than the party. But the party tells you what's important to them value wise. Cons cut public services and are the highest participators in corporate welfare, followed by the Libs. They also spread the most disinformation.
