If only people had been warned about how this would happen. But no, "Smith will moderate her views and govern differently than what she told us she would," bleated the delusional fools.

Lol this is quite the reach pulled from that article to prove your point. A bit pathetic really.

I wonder if the result would be different if the election was repeated today. I think we’d have an NDP government.

Had a family member visiting from out east, wasn't feeling well, went to the ER, diagnosed with a tumor on her brain, in hospital for four days, surgery at foothills Wednesday, released from hospital yesterday. Staying out west due to some radiation treatment.

Our Healthcare system isn't perfect by any means, but it works, and works well. I shudder to think what will happen as Danielle Smith and her childish libertarian fiends will continue to do, dismantle the public system bit by bit then claim it doesn't work, fooling a generally ignorant Alberta voting population.

UCP would legislate what the 'truth' is so no one can challenge them on truthiness.

The Breakdown

How wild is Alberta politics?

The ethics rules that Danielle Smith is in the process of erasing were brought in by Jonathan Denis.

And Rob Anderson said they didn’t go far enough.

Betcha didn’t see that coming!

There is no reasoning with them. At a dinner with a friend yesterday and she mentioned she had a conversation around this with another person. The person said they would inoculate their children, but won't vaccinate them

Most people aren’t anti vax they are anti whatever that was for Covid that you had to take every three months to supposedly work.

I don’t think many people doubt the effectiveness of measles , polio, and mumps vaccines.

Actually, the majority aren't anti-vax. They took the vaccines because they are rational and believe in science. And it worked. Saved millions upon millions of lives and not having to weigh down the healthcare system with unnecessary symptoms and hospitalizations.

It's the anti-vaxxers and freedom nutbars who mistook COVID vaccinations as tyranny and helped clogged up the system even worse.
