Not at all. Although I am a Conservative (didn't vote UCP last election) I never believe in directing full blame for everything to voters. Heck even most people in politics at the local and federal level are not even to blame, it's the inner circle and the power brokers.
Yes the UCP is not doing well at all, I have expressed serious reservations and concern to friends of mine in cabinet.
Most voters of any party usually just vote for an issue or two or go with a candidate that happened to stop by their home , business or gathering space.
Only the people who are really into politics, policy and the inner dealings really pay attention. The NDP lead by Singh was beyond a disaster and a sad sack of patheticness during his entire tenure. How many voters in Alberta and Canada would make the connection that the AB NDP and feds are really different? How many people knew that the BC Liberals are effectively a conservative party?
I am old school and prefer to go after politicians as opposed to going after voters
What a joke. Everything the UCP are doing you were told they were going to do. Most people who voted for the UCP couldn't even tell you why they voted that way other than they believe orange team = bad.
You're absolutely correct, many Albertans are far too ignorant about politics to know who they were voting for, or voting against.
Even with all the absolutely terrible things the UCP are doing, they will probably still win because this province is full of whiners who think everyone is out to get them. It's been that way since the 80s. The crying here never ever stops.

Unsurprisingly, not a peep of this news on the second use of the NWC anywhere on calgaryherald.com right now lol
That's outrageous.

Tab for the Dynalife fiasco put at over $100M. That's a lot of lightbulbs.

Among the key findings in the report:
Minimal records were kept of important discussions between AHS executives, the minister and the health department —including those where key decisions were made.
Neither AHS, nor the department, followed its own processes to prepare a business case for outsourcing community laboratory services.
AHS continued with the procurement despite knowing that the goal of cost savings was likely unattainable. AHS did not evaluate the assumptions and accuracy of DynaLife’s financial proposals.
Between 2013 and 2023, Alberta taxpayers paid $125 million in incremental costs for government-initiated laboratory procurements that were either abandoned or unsuccessful.

There is one now, but you have to go to Local News and scroll waaaaayyyy down to find it. It was on the main page this morning but the lead was about the ‘recall Gondek’ councillor. It’s insane that this isn’t the headline. Insane but yes, completely unsurprising.
