By the time they left office in 2019, the NDP were governing this province just fine.

I truly don’t understand what is hard to understand about that. We live in a province where there are two viable options. People make posts saying one option is better than the other, and you chime in with “well they’re not perfect actually and not amazing!” Like… sure, but why do you take any praise of the NDP, especially given the comparison to our current government, as people lauding over their incredibleness? Why is praising the NDP at all offensive to you, and why do then just bail out of every conversation accusing it of being some “whole thing” or whatever instead of just offering up anything else?

You guys aren’t doing Alberta politics properly. Dig in, pick a side. Ride or die.
