What contemporary fiscally prudent NDP governments can you point to? Horgan in BC, Romanov/Calvert in Sask, Doer/Selinger in MB. All great governments.

What imprudently NDP governments can you point to? BC in the 1990s, BC today, AB under Notely, Bob Rae in ON. All disasters.

Now this guy's nickname is literally Spendshi. Does that sound like a fiscally prudent or fiscally imprudent NDP leader?

1) What exactly was a disaster about Alberta under Notely? In what ways was she worse than what we currently have

2) Hey guys, Conservatives are calling Nenshi Spendshi. They have no ulterior motive to making up a nickname that aligns with how they want to paint him. So it must be true that he is a terrible financial disaster waiting to happen. Oh, by the way. I refer to Danielle Smith as "Danielle, the worst thing to ever happen to this province fiscally, socially, and reputationally".
Seriously, does someone who's nickname is literally that bad sound like a prudent leader?

Romanow not Romanov. A small thing, but something that Premier Romanow clapped back on when somebody else made that error. One is Ukrainian, the other is Russian.

I refer to Danielle Smith as "Marlaina" because that is the name on their birth certificate and I haven't had the time to inform their parents that she would like me to call them by their Woke name.

I also use them/their as their pronouns because I also haven't been given permission to use their "gendered pronouns".

Super fiscally prudent:

We haven’t had a conservative government in this province since the first 4 years of Klein.

That is likely the only conservative government this province have ever had.

The remainder of Alberta’s governments have had per capita spending amongst the highest in Canada and led Canada in providing services. Other provinces have had to make harder decisions in regards to taxation and PST.

Alberta has used oil and gas to subsidize our low tax rates and high spending. We only believe we are fiscal conservatives when in reality we have always been and still are high spending socialists using debt to bail out low oil prices.

We get social conservative baggage without fiscal conservatism.
