Perhaps the Wildrose have some thoughts on how to get things moving?
Of course, they would have to be able to voice them without sounding like a bunch of petulant children. Not to mention that "cut taxes, cut spending!" isn't a particularly helpful suggestion.
Perhaps the PC party have some thoughts on how to get things moving?
Nope, haven't heard a peep from them. Of course, if they had ideas on how to get things moving, they probably wouldn't have been booted out of office in favour of a party that is normally unpalatable to most Albertans. I guess Albertans weren't enticed by health care levies and spending cuts.
Their former leader didn't have any ideas either. Hell, he was so out of ideas that he stepped down on election night. Their new leader... who is he? Oh right, the rambling moron that also shares the legacy of having lost an election to someone so progressive you wouldn't believe Albertans voted for him. What ideas has he offered up?
It seems our government and legislature as a whole is a giant failure. I think Greg Clark might be the only shining MLA out of a bunch of garbage, because it actually seems like he does his job. Unsurprisingly, he's also been tweeting his parties ideas for how to get things moving.
The NDP may be painful to witness considering that raising taxes during a recession is tantamount to insanity, but I'm optimistic that their policies will win out in the long term, particularly the carbon plan. I'm glad that we have a government that is concerned about the future of the provinces economy, and is actually willing to stick to their guns and implement tough changes. We didn't have this before, and I don't think I need to elaborate on how well that worked out for us.
There's nothing that can be done to oust them from power, so it would be nice if people stopped pouting and politicking and actually started coming up with ways to make a difference.
