I know you're a little older than the average poster here. You probably split the difference between me and my mom. She is planting an NDP sign on her lawn this year and voting against Conservatives for the first time in her life. I think it's okay to consider yourself a conservative, but you need to step back and recognize the ucp has abandoned you. If you vote ndp, you'll be voting in a manner consistent with your values, I'm sure of it.

If you vote ucp, you will be responsible for causing hardship and hurt for fellow Albertans. As a business owner, I'll probably come out okay, though. Have been eyeing some new patio furniture for my vacation condo, so TIA if you vote ucp, I guess. I'm definitely the guy that needs government help.
Danielle Smith lives in my hometown and I've had some conversations with her over the years. What I do know is she wanted to be Premier in the worst way and was willing to do anything to get that. That I found odd because she told me before Covid that there was no way she was getting back into politics.

To be frank I don't trust her as a Politician. She said she wanted to get rid of the corruption but instead has made it worse. On top of that I don't believe she cares what voters say or want. It would be dangerous to give her 4 years in power.

I say circle jerk because it's basically posters agreeing with each other on how bad the UCP and Smith is.

Since when is acknowledging objective truth a circle jerk?

Because you have no-one posting support for the UCP and Danielle Smith. No arguing back and forth.

By that definition everyone agreeing that nazis are horrible would be an anti-Hitler circle jerk

Why is it always guys who have obviously never jerked one guy off that are the ones who need to reference something as similar to a bunch of guys jerking each other off?

Nobody is stopping anyone from posting kudos to the UCP or Danielle Smith for doing something good, and I am certain nobody would demonize them either.

I am also confused why somebody who also hates the UCP and Danielle Smith calls out everybody else for being a member of this circle jerk.

Most people I know agree with you, that they don't trust Smith. So I'm not surprised that the amount of people willing to publicly defend her here is at an all time low.

As CP's resident redneck, most of my friends just want her to implode and get kicked from the party before the election. There's just not much to talk about in Alberta Politics right now other than that, that doesn't make it a circle-jerk, but I agree it does make it boring.

Don't worry, with an election soon, the thread will spice up

Well Optimal Tates failed in the Canadian Politics thread.

Classic Yoho CBC bashing saying the CBC isn’t covering something then the immediate follow up is someone posting a bunch of CBC headlines. Now watch the thread go from discussing Chinese influence in our elections to the CBC

Well played Yoho.

I don’t think you read the original post. The point is to pay attention here rather than in the thread which already caught another person. We now have two people dunking on Yoho.

This is a game day thread now.

I'm guessing Yoho is just GGG's alt account.

Sometimes you have to lead to get others to follow.
