It’s win/win for the UCP. It either helps get them re-elected or if it doesn’t they’ll just attack the NDP for failing to fix the fiscal mess they created.

Still wondering when we're gonna get back that $1.4B from that failed pipeline bet. Could have used that capital to at least partially fund the arena at the time. Yoho, Danielle's your political master - why don't you ask her?

Get it back? I'm not even certain it has been paid out yet.

But she is against tax dollars for arenas...would this be the first time she has said one thing and done another?


Yet somehow, people will still vote for this deceitful weasel(my apologies to weasels).

They also seem to have a listening comprehension issue. Do they just assume no one will actually listen to her words, and instead take the 15 word summary as gospel? Oh..wait. Right.

I doubt the UCP believes half the pandering, mustard-soaked poop they're currently spewing from their sweaty faceholes right now. It's just election time. If they win, all those embarrassing positions will come right back front and centre, guaranteed. They're just trying to seem likeable to centrist and small C conservatives.

Enough with the weasel slander!!!!




The UCP are mosquitoes. Ugly, annoying, blood suckers. They provide some very slight value to the ecosystem, but we would be fine if we just left the pollinating to the bees.

Summer is awesome...except for the mosquitoes. Alberta is awesome, except for the UCP. A vote for the UCP is a vote for mosquitoes.

Too bad that's all you have Yoho. Internal polling is getting worse. Isn't it.

It will be more like shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic. Smith was just a puppet for the far right wing of the party and nothing will change when they lose. She sold her soul to the party for a chance to be Premier and she will soon have to face the reality of what she did.

Serious question. Smith has forced me to volunteer for the NDP this election.

I live in Calgary Buffalo and pretty sure Joe Ceci is ok with volunteers and his chances at election. Do any of you know any NDP MLA candidates in Calgary who are needing more hands on deck?
