Treating politics like team sports is about the stupidest thing possible. The people in charge here owe you nothing, and I guarantee they do not have your best interests in mind. We all lost on Monday, some of us are just too ignorant to realize it.

The people saying good riddance to doctors, teachers, and others considering leaving... go live in the woods. You like the smell of your own #### so much, that's the best place for you, animals. Sociability is literally the defining characteristic of the human race over other species, yet you are basically incapable of it.
Good riddance!

Such a pathetic post, strong arming people into only voting one way or you’ll leave.

Heres the quarterly update on Physician resources in Alberta if anyone wants the actual numbers. Which I know no one does!

"To put this in perspective, report 4 (Summary of Inflows and Outflows) reflects an inflow of 137 physicians during the fourth quarter. Offsetting the overall inflow of
physicians was an outflow of 76 physicians. Please refer to Report 4 for further explanation on the inflows and outflows that occurred during this quarter."

Almost exactly the 2-1 ratio that was stated earlier on migration

So your counter to my simple and true statement that reddit and this forum is left leaning, is to go to Telegram or 4chan? Quite progressive!

I feel so S.A.F.E. in Alberta...

Sad. Angry/Annoyed. Frustrated. Embarrassed.

FFS. Even though I expected this result tbh, I maintained hope that it would go a different way. Now I'm just frankly disheartened.

Going into political news "hibernation" to try and keep sanity.
Went to the mountains last night for a mtn bike ride to remind myself why I live here.

I would agree that a lot of sub-Reddits are left leaning, but this forum is definitely NOT left leaning. I would say there are a handful of left leaners here, but for the most part I think the majority of posters are central, not left. If you think CP is left leaning, you need to check how far right you actually are. Voting NDP this time felt more to me like voting for the Redord PCs than an actual left wing party.

Man, how many times do I have to ask you to read the ####ing post you're replying to? I did not say once I was leaving. I'm not leaving. I know there are professionals leaving. My family's doctor left last year and specifically blamed it in a letter to all patients on the situation with the provincial government.

I am not even trying to say you should vote a specific way. In fact, please feel free to read all my posts in this thread or lay them out. I never once say that you must vote the same way I do. What I did say frequently yesterday was that if you vote a certain way, you can't be offended by being labeled a supporter or the same as people within the party that you voted. That's asinine and childish- you can't absolve yourself of the responsibility of your choices.

This infuriates me of course.

Trust me I didn’t think you were a doctor I was responding to your posts general threat of specialized workers leaving.

I dearly hope that you nor anyone you love develops cancer or another disease in the next 4 years. But if that does come to pass, I hope you remember the utter foolishness of your statements.

Hey I voted NDP, we are on the same team!

This forum (not necessarily CP overall but off topic) is most definitely left leaning. Smith going extreme right with Trump style conservatism may put more people to the left of whatever Smith is, but it does not in any way change that.

Perhaps you should learn to write then. Punctuation would be a good place to start, if you're taking advice.

Also, if you haven't yet established that we know each other in real life, you're far more stupid than I thought.
