Its really easy to not GAF about Health Care and Education when you can afford to get it from wherever you want.
Smith's Libertarianism nonsense sounds great to people at the tail-end of their lives with enough wealth that it doesnt matter.

I don’t think rural ridings have too much electoral power or at least not an unfair amount, rather it’s the small to mid size cities that should align closer to Edmonton and Calgary who are still falling for Lucy holding the football.
The rural ridings aren’t going to move to more moderate views until they’re forced to.
