The mess we are in as a province is at the hands of many years of bad governance, not just the last 6. Tack on the fact the the feds never sought to take our national energy situation seriously for the past 15-20 years and you have our current situation. The biggest annoyance I have with politics, especially in Alberta, is that it's so "what have you done for me lately" and there's zero long term agenda/plan. We had a 40 year PC dynasty that did nothing to truly build for the future of this province. We had multiple years of federal governments who didn't take what Alberta had to offer the country seriously. And now with politics becoming even more fractured, with soundbites and posts on twitter being more important than parties trying to work together, I don't see any improvement in the future.

I'm rambling on a bit for sure. If the Conservatives came out and said they will force through an energy corridor, complete a national pipeline, and build massive lab and vaccine facilities in the next 4 years I would vote for them in an instant. That to me would be worth whatever social garbage we'd have to endure for 4 years. Of course the cynic in me says they'd never follow through anyways, and it'd be a wasted vote regardless.

Definitely feeling a little hopeless with this country's politics. And not that it matters, but last election I voted NDP provincially and Conservative nationally. Rambling post over.
