What ought to be concerning is that groups with relatively radical views are organizing to control mainstream political parties, library boards, etc. They're doing it through legal democratic processes but it's under the radar for most people. The problem is a lack of organized pushback.
Case in point: Take Back Alberta. I suggest that instead of bemoaning this we should organize a CP jihad to vote against them at the next UCP AGM.
What are their views?

100000000% this.
You cannot change the system by complaining on a message board. You have to work within it, to change it.
I know people hear hate the UCP. And by and large they definitely do suck right now and are moving in a bad direction, but the ONLY way to change the paradigm in Alberta, where the UCP is going to be the majority party 9/10 elections, is to become a UCP member and vote and change the party.
