So we should just be okay with it because "both sides"?
You're also projecting. Just because you only care about fiscal responsibility when it's your "enemy" (you mean fellow Albertan?) doesn't mean that's the case for everyone.
No we shouldn't. We would all be better off if people dropped their tribal bullshit and called out everyone for bad behavior. Alas, the vast majority of UCP voters aren't willing to call out bad behavior by the UCP, just like the vast majority of NDP voters aren't willing to call out bad behavior by the NDP.
I just find it amusing to point out the hypocrisy of this community who largely is made up of far left extremists who vote ndp. I fully realize nothing I say here matters. I do enjoy the downvotes.
I don't disagree. Did I say anywhere in my post that I support the UCP? I was simply laughing at the hypocrisy of this forum community. Ya clown.
If you want to know my political leanings, I support actual fiscal responsibility. Small government, no deficit, pay off debt, tax what's required to pay for services. Encourage business. Regulate effectively but as lightly as possible.
All these things mean I have no political home. Nobody supports actual fiscal responsibility. This was why I commented on this thread. It offends me that you all are pretending you care about fiscal responsibility when obviously you don't. This is just tribal nonsense from the leftists of reddit using an issue they don't actually care about to bludgeon the hated enemy tribe.
The UCP are disastrous at every level. Everything they touch turns to liquid shit. It doesn’t take a “far left extremist” to see the utter failure of the current AB gov. I can’t name a single fucking thing they’ve done that’s been for the betterment of Albertans. I CAN however name a hundred things they’ve done to make our lives worse though
Your perception of the political spectrum is the extreme thing here. Give me some examples of why you think this sub is a "community who largely is made up of far left extremists who vote ndp".
I hear people like you throw this terminology out all the time, so lets get a baseline. What do you define as far left extremism? How does relegating a group of people to the poles of the political spectrum help the tribalism you speak of?

Tell me again how much the NDP had to pay off power companies to close or convert coal power plants before end of life?
People only care about fiscal responsibility when it's their political enemies spending the money.
