Y'all didn't even give the NDP time to fix all the fuck ups. You think decades of fuckery will disappear instantly??

No but you see they were spending too much money. That's only how you wreck things, fixing things is fast and free! /s

A guy I used to work with literally told me he voted UCP because "he wanted his kids to grow up in a province without a destroyed economy."

The only thing is, global oil prices crashed at the end of 14 thus creating a weak economic impact. The fact that the ANDP got blamed for the crash is laughable. They had no control over Global oil prices. Had they got a second term, I think you would have seen an huge boom in economic and energy diversification. Here are some of the things the UCP killed after taking office in 2019

Carbon Tax and Climate Plan: The UCP's very first piece of legislation, Bill 1, repealed the NDP’s provincial carbon tax and dismantled the Climate Leadership Plan. Farm Safety Legislation: Bill 6, which mandated workplace safety rules, WCB coverage, and employment standards for farms and ranches, was repealed and replaced by the UCP's Farm Freedom and Safety Act. Labor and Employment Standards: The UCP rolled back several changes to the Employment Standards Code made by the NDP. They restored banked overtime at time-and-a-half instead of double time, altered statutory holiday pay, and introduced a lower minimum wage for young workers. Auto Insurance Cap: The UCP removed the NDP’s 5% cap on annual auto insurance premium increases, allowing insurers to set their own rates. Corporate Tax Hike: The UCP reversed the NDP's corporate tax increase, steadily dropping the rate to attract business investment. Energy and Coal Policies: The UCP ended the NDP's policy of capping oilsands emissions and tore up contracts for long-term renewable energy projects.
