But when they do get into power they either have no idea how to govern or all of the bumper-sticker level of ideas collapse. But they can never change course and admit they were wrong because they never stop playing the game. It's a sad, shallow, hollow existence. I feel sorry for Yoho mostly because he doesn't have the capacity to understand how deeply pathetic it is. I worked with someone like this and he was always saying things like "it's the best day ever" or "I'm doing great" but whenever you'd scratch beneath the surface it was clear he was miserable, angry, ignorant and had no tools to escape his sad life.

Yeah Yoho isn't doing that great. He is on here trying to convert us like we are idiots with his rightwing propaganda to no avail. It prob works on on the Rebel and Calgarysun.com. Talk about a big waste of time. lol

Rachel should be fired for not changing her party name.

You understand that she can't just unilaterally do that, right? She'd need to get a consensus from party members to do it.

I kinda wish we could see an alternate timeline where they did change the name but still lost the election just to see what your reaction would have been.

Online survey for feedback on their plan to destroy healthcare in Alberta. Have your say! It's better than that APP one, anyway.

Dunno, we're a 160+ suite tower and there's no such thing here.

You’re supposed to. Our 100+ unit building has it.

You seriously think she can win another election with the NDP name and the dumb Calgarians who live here? lol

She lost to both Kenney and Smith! That is as bottom of the rung as you can get. Well other than Anders.

Well did she put it up for a vote? Like seriously if she told Jagmeet to eff off into the sun, burned the orange in a pallet fire, how many more votes would she have gotten?

Well, I'm not about to go give myself more work by asking building management why we don't have one, so ...

Considering how close they were last time I’d say it wouldn’t be a shock.

Answer me this Johnny, do you think their election funding might take a hit if they separated from the national party?

Prob not. Do you think those funders would donate it to the UCP instead? lol

Burn the orange!!!! Eff the orange!!!

You’re sounding a little bit unhinged.

Honestly, the changing names or colours will do no good and it’s a hare-brained idea that has no chance of success. You’d have to essentially erase the party name from existence and then bar any of the former MLAs to run for election under the new party name, because they’d still be associated with the NDP. So what’s the point of this? If voters were really reluctant to vote for NDP last election, they could have gotten behind the AP instead. It’s not a name thing. Can this idea just die already?

When you change it of course you try to unite with the AP and a few, not many of the non-deplorable UCP MLAs.

You have to get that Jagmeet stink off.

I can hear the Smith propaganda coming from this vague survey...

SO MANY ALBERTANS ARE CONCERNED ABOUT HEALTHCARE, WE NEED TO FIX IT. (We didn't asked them what they were concerned about)

That's completely set up to be answered by "Do not worry! Our plan will fix those things!"

I largely answered the questions by acting like everyone's dad when they touch the thermostat: DON'T TOUCH IT, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING WITH IT AND YOU'RE GOING TO NEEDLESSLY COST ME MONEY.

You’re saying that you think the Federal NDP would continue to aid them financially if they disassociated with the party?

I’d be interested to hear how you came to that conclusion.

I've lost track of how many times the conservatives have changed their name.
