I did warn having Danielle Smith on QR77 was a detriment to democracy, and that her spreading lies and misinformation would lead to unfit people getting elected because not everyone fact checks radio shows, but they sure do nod along when she says taxes are too high, and the US does things better. She sowed the seeds of descent and I made no bones about how bad I thought that was. I didn't think it would actually be Smith.
I've also pointed out how bad it was for the PC's to allow a reverse takeover by the Reformers, and that that was exactly what the Wildrose were doing in Alberta. Well they did it. So forgive me if you think this is all hindsight, it is not.
Many also warned against Conservative "slate" candidates in municipal elections, and it's fortunate those warnings were headed. Look at the corrupt disaster those folks have been. Even their choice candidate for mayor has turned on them.
And since GGG says it's like a boy crying wolf, I've voted for PC's, Liberals, Greens, Alberta Party...the first time I ever cast a vote for the NDP was Notley's first term. Just because the warning signs have been flashing for a long time, doesn't mean our pointing it out is crying wolf. I get what he's saying I just don't think it applies. I'd love for there to be a respectable centre right party to vote for in any level of government. There currently isn't. And we aren't going to get there by voting for the next best thing, which is what people seem to think.
Maybe, just maybe people who pay close enough attention should have their warnings heeded instead of brushed off.
