Good grief.
In regards to bringing up what a candidate said in their past being an actual part of what they believe today, then the UCP should be splashing this all over the province.
And that picture is WAY WAY more recent than the Kenney video, so i must conclude that Notley and Phillips are actively working against getting ANY pipelines built, therefor they should automatically be disqualified from being elected to represent Albertans. Right? |
Woosh.
The point was that fear and smear is used by all major players, not that it is valid, nor that criticism of actual current governing policy is “fear and smear.”
I think neither Kenney’s decades old statements nor Notley’s standing at a protest should be used against them, but to take issue only with one party doing it is partisan nonsense.
The sooner we can realise both leading parties are engaging in some pretty stupid and unhelpful misinformation and fear mongering, the sooner we move away from this sort of partisan bickering. Complaining when the “bad guys” do it while letting it slide when your side does it is just dishonest imo. Either take issue with it as a whole, or don’t.
When we become fanboys for a political party or a leader, we gain a skewed view of reality. That’s not a place you should want to be coming from when making a decision.
