There is no winning back people dumb enough to vote for the UCP. They have already shown they don’t use reason, intelligence or their own self interest to make decisions. They are far too stupid to waste time trying to change.

C=NG.
Can't believe so many of you people stuck with those deplorable UCP candidates.
I expected as much from the south of Alberta, but hoped for better from you.

Hey at least your voting base is engaged. We have Developer ######bag Dougie running things over her and it's a gong show. 29% turnout last election. The Greenbelt and Ontario Place are eating him alive.

And Toronto is going to elect Olivia Chow as our new mayor after 8 years of Tory land. Progressive politics are alive and well when people get out and vote!

Everyone is ignoring the 3rd most important question of the election

Will Larry Heather get more than 100 votes?

Objectively, why would anyone support Danielle Smith? What’s the rational reason? She’s a proven liar and fraud who failed every elected position she’s held (and believe me, the details of her school board trustee ouster are worse than the reports).

I’m counting at least 6 seats in Calgary that I’ve seen so far that are currently UCP leading that I’m guessing the NDP will end up winning.

I think it's fair to say to the average Albertan, they only care about branding, and aren't politically sophisticated enough to care about policy. They're not stupid, just ... not curious.

If you’re just going to keep going like this, there’s really no reason to attempt to have a discussion.

And again with the personal insults hurled towards anybody who doesn’t share the same viewpoint as you. Pathetic.

I’m not searching. Come on you can spell it out.

The current results are that she gained a bunch of seats and Smith lost a ton. But because she held on to a majority people think she is a success somehow?

It was just too difficult for the NDP to win 20 coin flips.

Everyone who doesn’t understand how UPC won now understands how a lot of Albertans don’t understand how Trudeau gets elected
