Yoho, when you have nightmares, are you usually being chased by Rachel Notley?

I know he’s incredibly easy to make fun of but I don’t think enough of you entirely understand that the more you react to Yoho’s posts the more he posts more of the same thing. He’s got nothing going on, this is it, negative reactions are as fulfilling as positive reactions to him because they’re all he can get.

Again, I know it’s easy, but anything that encourages him to continue posting the same trollish nonsense seems bad?

Instead of complaining or giving him an audience, I encourage you to click this link and press Yes.

I’ve never used the ignore feature until today.

Is it just me or is that not a huge red flag that the system has failed?

Has there ever been a more embarrassing time to be an Albertan?

It's not good.
Please though, all Albertans, be careful not to fall for the canard that the system is broken and must be privatized to be saved.

I don’t know why people crap on Yoho’s posting, I think that he/she provides the invaluable public service of reminding UCP voters who like to consider the party’s ideology as “not so bad or better than the NDP” exactly what kind of folks their party needs to appease in order to get enough votes to win an election because corporate welfare and anti worker policies aren’t very appealing to the average Albertan.

My hope would be that it might eventually lead some voters to pause and reconsider their positions. Maybe I’m being naive, but worse case scenario I still get to be entertained by Yoho’s posts based on my own personal opinion of their content’s quality.

I've been on this forum for almost 20 years now, I've never used the ignore feature before. Even the members who I disagree with the most I'll still read their posts just to try to understand their thought process. But Yoho doesn't have a thought process, it's empty re-tweets with zero thought behind them and zero effort made to defend their arguments. It's no different than the Russian bots that astroturf Twitter and Facebook. I put him (or it) on ignore last week and nothing of value was lost, though it is annoying when people keep quoting him/it

I think that is by far the best article I've ever read from the Sun.

It was pretty embarrassing to see the lengths many Albertans would go to, to lie to themselves.

I'd like to point out that until Yoho directly addresses that he's not a bot, the case for him being one is building exponentially.

And if he's not a bot, he totally votes NDP.

I know this is an AB Politics thread and I don't think AB is handing this winter surge of cases or the overall health system well, this does seem to be a big issue in Canada across the board.

Our Canadian healthcare system is literally falling apart and it has been from before Covid but it's getting worse. I am really really wondering where the federal government is on this and why there has been such little actual action or leadership??

This is a prime example just like with Covid, lockdowns and other things where the Feds let the Premiers do the heavy lifting and they sat back and handed out chq's and programs mostly.

I mean surely there can be a handful of areas where the federal government can take a hand and show some actual change and impact in some capacity for now and the future? It's not even about spending money but reducing barriers entry, streamlining, thinking outside the box, changing immigration rules or certification etc.

The same thing is happening with the supply chains and general inflation. We get talking points about how concerned they are with things and how they are investing in the middle class etc but is anything actually happening of value?

It's wild what is happening in this country across the board

Is this a surprise? The beginning of the pandemic didn't really go well and Smith has somehow out crazied Kenney and Kenney was crazy.

or from Gunter.

He did a good job writing it, and seemed to keep personal bias out of it.

At this point, if Yoho is a person, I think he is the reason that clickbait articles are written. Many times they have been shown that it does not really say what the headline states. Yet he keeps posting things thinking that the title actually has meaning and proves his standpoint.

LOL can you imagine if this actually happened? Where the Feds took the reins and made all the provincial decisions?

Hahaha the UCP and all Conservatives would be going absolutely bonkers. Justin Castro has taken over!

And I absolutely LOVE that Yoho liked your post. That's just pure icing on the cake.
