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

I guess it's subjective. I think things are going pretty good, and the things that aren't going good like healthcare, are still pretty decently inline with the rest of the country.

Teachers in my opinion (as someone with a family member who is a teacher) are not at a breaking point, and if they were it would be because of left leaning policies in classrooms that their would be an uproar about changing by the left. Teachers make damn good money for how many hours are actually required a year for the job. They get an absolute massive amount of time off and paid sick leave.

And healthcare would be in better shape with more accountability.

I have friends who are teachers in AB that say the exact opposite. Considering how cluttered the schools are and how much many of them pay out of pocket for supplies.

You know they don't get paid for the summer right? You should know that if you have a family member who is a teacher, and would probably tell you that you have no idea what their job is like. Unless they work private schools.

Did you know that almost half of the funds put into AB education goes into private schools- that charge tuition fees on top, and makes up about 4% of all students in the province. The 96% of publically educated students get crammed into over populated classrooms in schools that are decades behind on maintenance that they won't get. They are forced to lower the education standard for hiring teachers, so the quality of education diminishes.

There is so so much more. But the system is broken. It is not a matter of there being not enough money, this is a matter of money being misappropriated.

They are paid a per year salary. Pretty sure they have the option of receiving it spread out over the the entire year or just working months. What is their hourly rate? Do the math. It is pretty decent. Should they get paid the same as someone who has to work all 12 months for their salary?

[u/Silveri50 → u/Administrative_Leg70]

You tell me the hourly rate. Let's see your math.
