messing with pensions, ripping apart healthcare, converting to Bitcoin, pitting sides against each other is pretty ####ty for the rest of us

When people's lives suck they're more and more willing to blindly believe any nutjob that claims to have the solution. It's a tale as old as time

Their economy is in the toilet, has been for years, and successive left wing governments have failed to improve it. I suspect people are starting to vote with their wallets.

You have no idea of the pension numbers if they are any better or worse for Albertans but just seeking info about it should be discouraged at all costs.

Imagine thinking that voting in libertarians is "waking up."

Anyways, this is a smart move by the Liberals and will likely go further than PP's plan to try to fight municipalities.

Translation: Don't fight it when Milei, Trump, PP, or any other far-right government head shoots their load into your mouth. Gargle with glee.

Of course, believing those numbers again relies on a person not understanding how compound growth works, as even tiny discrepancies between real and reported CPI increases eventually blow up into gigantic discrepancies over a long period.

Somewhere along the line a key component of the majority people's political identity is that they feel like victims.

I don't think it is a right wing thing or a left wing thing, its just a north American world view building phenomenon.
