Which just all comes down to electing the right Candidates regardless of party.
I know this is a pie in the sky idea for someone who is currently mired in it. And I am sure in the future i will be completely jaded and worn down. But for now, I wanna believe!
Edit: Maybe I'll have to change my name to Wastedmidlife soon.

I mean… I’ve also said kind things about Bernier and PP before the two put on their dunce caps, so you could argue I’m generous in giving the benefit of the doubt to politicians to a fault.
Which should also tell you something about exactly how bad Smith is.
You also need to understand that disqualifying the UCP for this election doesn’t mean nobody from the UCP ever gets an opportunity to earn my vote again. But as long as Smith is the leader, I will not vote for anyone that helps that person become the legitimately elected Premier.
It’s naive to believe that people shouldn’t think of the bigger picture when electing an MLA. If the MLA is fantastic but voting them in secures leadership for an incompetent, toxic loser, now is that a win for anyone?
Parties change from the inside when they lose elections, not when they win them. There’s no debate on that.
