Anyone supporting the UCP on these issues isn't using common sense.
Wokeness.. Good lord.. Anyone saying wokeness an issue is just looking for things to cry about, which is funny because they are typically the ones saying society is too soft.

I think some people are down playing just how prevalent and how far reaching some woke/social issues are in today's society and some people are speaking out. Some aspect of those policies are long overdue, needed etc but some have gone off the deep end.
A recent government environmental report for the federal government's pledge to plant 2 billion tree's by 2030 is pretty much a joke. Something like 1% of the progress has been made because of government bureaucracy which includes things like a comprehensive gender/LQBTQ study.
When people see the crime, the drugs, the meth heads, the social problems downtown and on transit, on the balance of probability more people see a "lock em up" approach or a tough on crime/mandatory drug treatment as a better overall approach to safe supply/treatment only when ready. Wither or not that is the best approach, I don't know. I just think certain things are human nature. If you or your family were a victim of a serious crime, are you asking why was this person out on bail/not in prison or are you wondering if this person had access to safe supply or if their gender/BIOPIC analysis was conducted for their bail review?
CNN is launching a series next week called " What happened to San Francisco??" Looking at the issues about how this great American city has become a filthy nightmare of crime, drugs, homelessness and mental health issues.
So yes, I do think some Alberta voters are very concerned with the UCP, Smith and the overall performance but might be more concerned with the potential policies of the NDP on some social/woke style issues. I am sure the reverse is also true.
