Imagine being an undecided female voter in Calgary or even a rural riding just outside the city limits and watching Smith and Notley go head-to-head on access to contraception in the debate. More of this from the NDP, please.

Or how the NDP government indexed AISH, Income Support and the Alberta Seniors Benefit to inflation (CPI), the UCP government de-indexed it in their first budget, then re-indexed it three months ago...

Meanwhile if you watch this clip, the first shipment of our 5M bottles of Turkish Children's Tylenol (that wasn't labeled in English or French, nor did it have childproof caps) have finally arrived at a cost of $70M. (+10M in shipping} But don't worry, we're going to stockpile 1M of those for next flu season and try to sell 4M of them....somewhere to recoup costs.
Conservatives are better at finances. Right.

Fiscal conservatives. Right.

But I thought Yoho said this meant Smith was actually doing something. I mean, I guess he's right?

I'm not a fan of using dollars as the outcome for most health expenditures because if we're going to be honest, the dead people are much cheaper than people who live to be 90 in a home. In this case though, birth control and decreasing unwanted pregnancies carries a big savings

Maybe the women of Alberta can get some kind of royalty credit for birth control?

They must have paid for tracking and chosen the express option. Standard delivery without tracking was probably going to get here in 2025.
Don’t worry about the cost, think of all the children that can now have their fevers reduced with karşı ilaçlar üzerinde!

The socially-backwards contingent of the UCP thinks birth control is satanic, promotes promiscuity and goes against God's Plan actually, but they'll handwave Smith's answer to stick it to the libs or something

I just received a quote to ship the contents of a five bedroom house from Turkey to Canada by sea: ~$25,000 CAD (takes 13 to 19 days).

On the Turkey point, wasn’t the UCP under Kenney complaining about Canada doing business with places like Saudi Arabia or allowing places to do business with Russia? Doesn’t it seem weird for the same government to give Turkey almost $100M?

It distracted people from their refusal to promote masks during flu/rsv/COVID season. Money well spent.

Oh man....Remember the "LEAP" Manifesto? That was a good time.
People like to decry stone-aged conservatives while the 'progressives' were advocating that people quit their jobs to make their own shoes.
Notley was at least one of the ones smart enough to distance herself from the Leap fiasco.
