And even if not politics, this country is so big. If you get a chance to live somewhere else, do it. There's so much more than just one province. Life is too short to stay in one place IMO.
I've lived:

>GTA
>Moncton
>Halifax
>Various other areas for 3-6 month stretches

I've seem a fair amount of the country thanks.

Three family physicians, two psychiatrists, one cardiologist, one gynocologist, and two registered nurses. Most during the UCP tenure.

I'm not saying everyone does it for politics, but some people do. You seem to not be grasping this concept.

You might just have to accept that people do things for different reasons than yourself.

We done? Or shall we keep pissing in each others cornflakes?

I'm not "pissing" in your cornflakes.

I completely grasp that people move for all sorts of reasons, politics being 1 of those reasons. But in my life all my moves &/or my families moves have been financially/job motivated including emigrating to Canada when I was young. This holds true for many of my friends/family.

I posted earlier that for years I had no thoughts of moving from Calgary, but now I have had those thoughts & it is a reflection of the political climate in Alberta.

I'm not sure why you are so pissy this morning, but I hope you day gets better as it progresses.

People who bitch about other people moving or who want to move is bizarre. It's their life, not yours, and benchmarking them against yourself and your own opinions about why you personally want to STAY is a useless, fruitless exercise / waste of energy. Not everyone has your life and nor should they.

People are free to do what they want. If you want to move, then move. People that say “If this party wins the election. I’m moving.” come off like a spoiled child screaming and stomping their feet because they get what they wanted. We mocked several celebrities for doing the same thing before Trump got elected. This is no different. Nobody wants to hear this stuff. Put up or shut up because anything else is just whining because an election didn’t go the way you wanted.

It’s not people who are bitching about “if this party wins.” That party is already in power. It’s based on what the party itself has done and has plans to do.

You’d have to have your head in the sand to believe celebrities threatening to leave over Trump is a remotely good analogy to healthcare workers threatening to leave over the UCP. Pay attention.

Don’t threaten. I have no power to change the governing party. I don’t want to hear your threats. Just move!

Seems to be a few things you don’t want to read lately. May I recommend just… not reading them? It’s an incredible solution to your problem.

I bet they even have a part in Twitter! All of those WS and TPM articles that Yoho posts are all part of their plan to spew disinformation about the disinformation and throw everybody off the tracks of the real culprit - the WQXJGTFLMNOP!

If the NDP wins the next Alberta election I won’t be jumping for joy but my life will go on largely unchanged.

We’ve been here 25 years and have discussed moving for a variety of reasons over the years. Politics is one factor in our evaluation but never enough to push us over the edge.

This time may be different though. Not specifically UCP policies, but if a plurality of Albertans elect this conspiracy and anger-fueled party (if they win) then this is not a province we want to live in. I’m already sick of the coarse yahoos; a Smith win will only embolden them.

So yes, government policies have a limited reach and governments have a limited life, but their impact on society can be much larger. I look at the US pre- and post-Trump. Sure there were things in motion already but he was a massive dose of fire accelerant for the decivilization of society.

This coming election is really going to be a sanity/intelligence test for the Alberta electorate. I mean, it should be a slam dunk, but the fact that it isn't is already concerning.

I wouldn't worry. Bumbles basically invited a bunch of liberal votes with the "Alberta is Calling" campaign, all looking for cheap houses, jobs, and no PST.

He's effectively the ringer to guarantee an NDP victory. Jason is basically the Hulk Hogan of the NWO.

The third man, brother!

For the most part all of the talk about the WEF, is just a dog whistle way of saying Jews.

Hmm, shadowy cabal of international bankers, business people, and power brokers that are trying to secretly run the world?
We've all heard this song before, it's just a different tune this time.

The winds of all of "this" have been around for some time and I believe that Bannon joining Breitbart and it's use of turning the web and Trump into a weapon are to blame for really fanning the fire. Social media, especially the private groups on facebook and yahoos monetizing youtube also to blame big time.



Smith is no better, I am not exactly sure about her motives but I do believe she will do and say anything to cling on to something and a paycheck. The fact is the she probably knows that like Redford, she in not employable by any sane organization. Desperation is dangerous and as I understand it she is desperate.


That aside, for all of the shots she takes at Ottawa I would really like to know how much Covid relief she and hubby received personally and into numerous companies...that $40k per company can add up.

Millionaires and Billionaires have a disproportionate amount of economics and political power you say?
Why don't we vote in a government that decreases taxes to help thwart them!
