What are the chances logging trucks/companies pay for "Conservation" passes? I hadn't really picked up on how Orwellian a name that is for it.

Sorry, but this helps prove that the extreme left is as scary as the extreme right.

Literally just today a twitter user followed by Danielle Smith herself posted that he's going to hunt down NDP supporters if the UCP loses the election, and you still find a way to "both sides, many sides" this? Really?

"People love what I have to say. They believe in it. They just don't like the word 'Nazi'. That's all." - Stormfront (Aya Cash), The Boys, Season 2 Episode 8.
It's a bit too insane how parody plops out truth.

What I see is he was looking for a point to disagree with. And it took that long into the article to find it.

If you read the twitter thread they are cutting Maclean creek in the next 3 years.
I don’t think the sawmill company is dumb enough to clear cut moose mountain trails. So I think it’s likely a decoy to show they are giving something back through consultations with the public to protect the rest of the forestry plan.
In general forestry is pretty easy. Leave 100m of trees between used areas and clear cuts and the majority won’t care.

Yep. I am fairly certain industry and work related reasons is exempt.
Double checked and yes they are exempt, it's just us plebes that have to pay ...although I still haven't bought one as a protest shhh don't tell anyone.

Hopefully that means lots of younger people voting. If anything is gonna help push the NDP over the top, it'll be the 18-35 crowd.

And to further my point.. no I’m not. People can be so consumed by their own political beliefs that if someone questions or disagrees with them.. they are immediately vilified.
But thanks all for assuming that I didn’t fully read or understand the article. I agree with most of the points, have questions about a few and am offended by 1. I guess that makes me a UCP diehard to those who can’t contemplate meaningful debate and discussion.
What’s the cutoff to avoid the wrath? Does it have to be 16 of 16?

I don't know what the cut off is. But apparently the cutoff for labelling the Alberta NDP as "far left" is only one.

You have to think that high voter turnout is good for the NDP

At the voting station I attended I was the only person out of maybe 25 that looked under the age of 60.
