Of course they were the only polling station in the riding to favour NDP (except for "Grande Cache Community Health Complex, Whispering Pines Lodge" who voted 8-3 in favour of NDP).

Fair enough. I did lump in the ~4000 voters in Jasper along with the rest of that riding.
And it's not like 1 seat would change the government. This really comes down to a failing of a lot of Alberta voters who think that the UCP is still the PCs of old. Hopefully enough of them are getting educated about the countless scandals and ways that the UCP is making their lives worse.
There are hundreds of examples so you really have to figure out what things piss you off the most. For the people of Jasper it would be... the UCP letting Jasper burn to try to make the Federal Liberals look bad.
For me it would be....
- Wrecking our healthcare
- Attacking our public education and rolling out a horrible new curriculum that was plagiarized from Virginia
- Deregulating electrical companies so that my electrical bills can skyrocket
- Deregulating insurance companies so that my insurance bills can skyrocket
- Stealing our money in the CorruptCare scandals
- Illegally enabling a coal mine to go ahead
- Spending our money to put stupid billboards up in Ontario telling people to move to Alberta and then blaming immigrants for our population growing faster than our services or housing industry
- Giving jobs to UCP grifters who get voted out of government so they can keep grifting off our tax dollars
- All of their efforts to fight the freedom of information act so it is harder to hold them accountable
....and more
It used to be that scandals would cause politicians to resign or for a party to oust them. Now they just flood the zone and tell us to apologize to them.
