Alberta Politics & Government Thread 3.0

[PsYcNeT]

"Actually, our incompetent crony-capitalist government is smart and fair" is definitely a take.

Booked a blood test or ultrasound lately?

You guys are playing checkers.

Let me know when these concessions happen.

It's almost comical, I mean its the most basic red flags of a Scam.

Add “if we can get a better deal” to the end and you have a bullet-proof question. Meaningless, but bullet-proof.

Seems like a roundabout ploy to continue to prop up oil and gas/ensure funding sustainability for decades using Alberta pension contributions

Why are we interested in making 'the Feds squirm' and 'concede other points of interest'? This is just virtue signaling and dog whistling by Smith to her angry, uneducated, insecure voting base. Smith has been one of the most embarrassing, ineffective and dangerous premiers in the most embarrassing and resource-wasting party in Alberta history - and she's only been premier for a YEAR.

You're getting playing like a fiddle, Yoho. You gotta start thinking critically about the larger picture, and stop towing the party line like a sad, subservient, obedient puppet.

Please list what, specifically, Smith is doing "fantastic"?

Both things she is doing internally in Alberta and in relation to the Federal Government.

I won't hold my breath.

Hint do you think this could effect the Feds energy fetish in Alberta? There is only one language they understand and this is it. She’s doing a great job.

Notley would have pulled out the shovel to bury this Province herself and voters knew it.

Have the feds given us anything yet as a result of all this?

You guys realize that Bus Boobs could fellate a Liberal in an outhouse while stroking the Bible and Yoho would find a way to spin it to make Danielle look like an ardent defender of conservative values?

They (pronouns for sure) have a Danielle fetish. She can do no wrong.

You have to be trolling, right? Like, is this Sliver's alt account or something?

I never thought we could have a worse premier that Kenney, but Smith has proven me wrong.

Sounds like a mental disorder to me. Is she getting professional help? Perhaps people having delusions shouldn't be in these positions.



Also, she sounds like a hateful ####.

They understand more than hostility and virtue signalling. Your definition of 'great job' and mine are significantly different.

Not only is this completely wrong, but the fact that you (again) resort to whataboutism is shows that, again, you have no real answers for anything.
