It should come as no surprise when you tell them that the UCP are allowing bigger gifts, and they'll just tell you it's "the cost of doing business".
Essentially, this is a party that would campaign on 2+2=5 and their base (including their urban supporters in big cities) will tell you how you're not looking at the full picture if you think that's wrong or you're un-Albertan for doing so.

It's amazing how many conservatives would rather just tow the party line and let things self-destruct in the background, not question anything (because you can't question the blue party in Alberta) and delude themselves thinking this is the same PC party it's always been. You nailed it - the spin doctoring is pervasive, because blue.
