Do you want to come with me and chat with LGBTQ youths about what impact this has on their lives so you can get a sense of the seriousness of the situation? Or should we ignore them until after TMX and Line 3 are completed?

That’s an interesting question as we know that unemployment and reduced prosperity lead to increases in property crime, domestic abuse, suicide substance abuse and a host of other social issues.
So if you were to agree that under Kenny Line 3 and TMX are more likely to operate sooner than under Notley a utilitarian case could be made that more harm is reduced by electing a UCP government.
Now there are a whole bunch of flawed premises in my argument above but in aggregate economic prosperity leads to better social outcomes. So one could ask you how much crime and domestic abuse must people endure to ensure there is a law written on paper that #######s who out kids will find ways around.
Anyway I don’t think you can vilify people for voting UCP. This issue should be part of many considered.
