I’m all for raising the level of political discourse, but I’m sorry in advance, I have to call you out Dion. This is partisan complaining.
As iggy pointed out, you’ve been trotting out the “fear and smear” stuff with delight against the NDP for years (literally!). Anti-Notley fear mongering, bringing up the past, it’s literally been your bread and butter as a poster regarding Alberta politics.
The UCP has used “fear and smear” already, the PC party had a clinic with it in the last Federal election. No mention from you, which is fine, but poses the question as to why you would stay silent unless it’s the NDP. Not only that, but accusing the NDP of resorting to US style politics doesn’t make a lot of sense either. It’s politics. It’s been around in Canada for as long as I can remember. Let’s not pretend it’s out of the norm or something a party “resorts” to. It’s happens in every election.
I get it, Kenney is your guy and you’re UCP/FP or bust. But pretending you care about fear and smear in general or trying to paint the NDP as some unique offender just doesn’t seem that believable when you’re been a big fan of it for so long before the NDP stepped up.
