I won't be getting an NDP sign. I don't want any of these unhinged UCP supporters coming and trying to talk "politics" with me.

Which they do, I just wish they'd do it right now and leave the rest of the province alone. How can Conservatives support this? But oh, hey, Notley is scary.
Given the polls, why wouldn't she?

A vote for the NDP is a vote for Jagmeet/Trudeau, do you think Alberta would prosper with Trudeau in control of it? The fact that the provincial and federal ndp are the same party makes the NDP not even an option.

Actually sir, a vote for the NDP is a vote for Rachel Notley and the Alberta NDP. It is a provincial election!

Falling for the propaganda again, eh? I often wonder why people like you enjoy being swindled so much? Does it make you feel like you are on the "in team"? I'd be embarrassed if I was so regularly made a fool of by endless lies. Isn't it embarrassing? Do you admit this stuff in public?

Rachel Notley has no say, she just takes orders from Jagmeet and Trudeau.

"Holding membership of a provincial or territorial section of the NDP includes automatic membership in the federal party, and this precludes a person from being a member of different parties at the federal and provincial levels.

Unlike most other Canadian federal parties, the NDP is integrated with its provincial and territorial parties."


Look it up.

Weird that StickMan is suddenly most active during elections. Can’t wait for another round of the annoying drone of misinformation, “but TrUdEaU!!!” and the least thought-out political takes this board has to offer.

I doubt if signs on public property do much beyond brand awareness but in an effectively 2 party election presumably everyone knows who the parties are. Signs on private property are a stronger indicator of support for a party, not sure how much they move the needle in this election, if there were multiple credible parties it might tell undecideds which parties have a shot at winning.

That's a fantastic connection to the Liberals. Oh, wait...


It's also a load of fearmongering that you fell for. Notley wasn't at the end of anyone's leash the last time she was in office, so the thesis is easily disprove. But go on, keep eating the feces being fed to you. Meanwhile you'll support someone who thought she could just declare everyone abroad diplomats to get around covid rules, and that she had the pardoning powers of US governors. She doesn't even understand how our government works, and what there powers are, yet you are fooled enoguh to suppose she can be premier?

I see a lot of blue signs on private land and orange on public side in my area this morning. I am in the west if you were curious.

That doesn’t at all support your thesis that a vote for Notley is a vote for Jagmeet/Trudeau and somehow Trudeau would control Alberta.

What you state is a fact, however that fact does not support your argument.

Last time Rachel was voted in she turned out to be the devil. How quickly people forget.

Is this satire?


Be specific. What devil-adjacent policies did she implement?

Come on, it was pretty obvious.
The devil has a well known penchant for LED light bulbs and smart thermostats.

I'm actually starting to wonder if Stickman is actually a green party voter.
I mean, the only thing I can think of is that he is anti oil and gas and that's why he doesn't want to vote for someone who:

1) Worked with Trudeau to actually get an oil pipeline built (as compared to the UCP who spent $1.6 Billion to not build a pipeline)
2) Signed a deal to put oil on rail to get oil out of the province (that was then cancelled by the UCP at the cost of a couple hundred million, and further restricted oil egress out of the province.

If you're anti oil and gas, I can totally see why you would think Rachel Notley is the devil.

I mean, why would anyone who is pro oil industry vote for someone like Rachel Notley who has spent her own political capital to try to get our oil to market, when you could vote for the UCP who spent actual real capital to every effectively reduce our access to market?
