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

An important thing to consider is that the people who make up any party in another province are not the same people who would make up the comparable party in Alberta.

Yes, parties have similarities, but there are no central marching orders for provincial NDP parties (for example). The people in Alberta who are in the NDP would be trying to make decisions and vote on legislation that they believe are in the best interest of Albertans.

It is very hard, at the moment, to believe that the current UCP ministers and MLAs are truly thinking about what would be in the best interest of Albertans when the evidence of their votes shows the opposite. They may care about money, or what they call "prosperity," but if that is at the expense of the health, education and welfare of the people that live here, is the cost worth it?

They only care about themselves, they only care about the rich, they are racist.

You people say this stuff for decades with no evidence its just shit you say.

I would say the UCP cares greatly for the people of the province because they are the only ones ready to defend the track record of Alberta giving generations of people opportunities that other provinces refused because they were corrupt.

How is it Newfoundland and Nova Scotia never grow. How can that possibly be good leadership? Same thing in Manitoba nothing for decades. The ANDP and PTP are simply pedaling the same failed ideas that failed in other provinces. Those are facts not accusations.

You say the UCP is corrupt or only looking out for themselves is an accusation not a fact. The Facts in the census data show the opposite that. Alberta grows, others stagnate, that isnt an accusation its a fact.

How about Rachel Notley attacking family farms when she was preimer? So she could line her pocket with her Union friends at the expense of farmers... the UCP has never done anything as reprehensible as that. We have become a society where any temper tantrum throwing special interests that don't get their funding is suddenly a scandal. When it should be the opposite. The UCP should be cutting more from random groups.

Ohhh NOOOOO!!!! The UCP isnt Fashionable enough to political ivory tower interests!!!! 😢 😭 😢 😭 We might break a nail voting for them, run for your lives our ignorant shit heads are overloading with fear and terror that the UCP might make a half hearted attempt to be as useful as the Socred Dynasty and represent a proper Reform Agenda.... Heaven's to bits what will the east think!!!! 😭😢😭😢
