The assumption by the NDP is people can't change and the past will certainly prove to be true. Zero room that they could be wrong. Or all apologies should be ignored. Imagine if we were all judged on stuff we did years ago? Would you be upset that people ignored any changes you may have made just to make you look bad? All in an effort to score political points.
Then there's the hypocrisy in the NDP govt where they are protecting 2 MLA's guilty of sexual misconduct. If it happened in the UCP, Notley would be telling the press they should be removed from the party. She clearly has double standards.

I would also say that "fear" in this context is usually based on something that very likely would not happen, but when the UCP is campaigning on removing Bill 24, that's again just stating facts.

Notley telling people they will need their credit cards when using the new Cancer centre is fear. Or the fact we are going to end up with USA style health care should Kenney win.

I get it that you don't think these issues should matter in comparison to the other "more important" aspects, fair enough, but it's not smear and fear

This is not a case of what I think but more about what voters are indicating. If it was important I would think Notley would have the lead in all the polls and in the end win this election. In past elections it would have killed the UCP but it doesn't appear it's going to happen in this election.
