I don't think the prisoner's dilemna is applicable at all in this situation.

The Liberal government cost my uncle his house, so unless you are saying that the Liberal government is going to compensate him for that, then you are out of your gd mind if you think any Albertan affected by that is going to vote Liberal. I don't care if it is close minded, it is the absolute reality of the situation.

Would you personally be willing to "forgive" a party that wipes out your hard earned work over night?

Lets look at a little calculation of just how much money the Liberals cost my uncle because of the NEP.

His house was worth $250,000.
Let's take an average interest rate of 5%.
30 years ago.

The Liberal Party directly cost him $1,080,485.59.

And you want him to vote for them?
