Good try though.
Having crap policies at the local and federal levels are symptomatic of the same issues...

You wanna talk about federal issues, fine, let's talk about federal issues.

Are the following not results of having Albertans in charge?

- Relaxed gun control laws.
- Copyright laws where digital locks supercede fair use.
- Unprecedent use of omnibus budgets (the opposite of transparency and accountability)
- Government found in contempt of parliament.
- Government that was unwilling to engage in economic stimulus until threatened with a non-confidence vote.
- Punishment-oriented crime bill that based on experiences in other jurisdictions will be an ineffective waste of money.
- Loss of judiciary discretion for marijuana crimes.
- Inefficient tax cut (GST).
- Structural deficit created by vastly increasing non-cyclical spending.

I posted the school board thing because it was news, but there's a long list of Conservative transgressions we can talk about instead - and all of them are because we have Albertans in charge.
