Finally, I would answer questions about this plan.


There is already a mob of peoples bashing Smith, the NDP don't need to waste their breath repeating gotcha. They need to prove that they are a party of economic stability who plan to use that stability to improve public institutions like education and healthcare.

The NDP need to do two things: Get their voters to the polls; keep the UCP fence sitters at home.

Negative ads work best for that. Many UCP fence sitters really don't want to vote for this train wreck but probably cannot bring themselves to vote for the NDP. So you remind them how much of a bag of ***** the UCP are and hopefully keep them at home.

Your plan is just giving the UCP ammo to bring out their vote

Well I want the average voter to completely change how the consume media, and increase their level of engagement beyond the surface level.

Oh I also want the Flames to win the Stanley Cup this season.

Care to guess which one I think is more likely?

My plan is not backed up by any polling or media consumer data. I would get laughed out of the board room.

But then be negative. Not ‘oh, we can’t afford a doctors visit!’ How about ‘we can’t afford to poison our children for foreign wealth?’ Or ‘we can’t afford to be burning $5billion on a dark horse’? Or ‘we can’t afford to reduce red tape by adding bureaucrats’ or ‘we can’t afford to run around like a chicken without a head creating and spouting whatever rules we want to have to reneg them when it’s apparent we’ve no idea what we’re doing.’ I don’t know, it’s like they’ve chosen the most toothless ‘attack’ ad imaginable, so they’re going to get the disdain from those who don’t like them while letting the NDP off the hook for their garbage.

I'm pretty sure if you just said, "look, remember 2004? All we have to do is get in and anything can happen!"

All the Matts are out on Twitter saying that we have Tylenol for "years to come" thanks to Smith. It has a 2 yr shelf life.
Also, somebody please explain the concept of Time Value of Money to the brilliant economic minds in the UCP government.

So, will you be able to go into a pharmacy and buy this medication off the shelf? No, I guess it won't be with the other meds, you have to ask the pharmacy for it. And it's a lower dosage than other brands, so the pharmacist can help you with that. Curious on a direct cost comparison based on size/dosage, but I suspect that won't come out looknig too good for it.

Quote:
  • The medication will be stored and sold from behind the pharmacy counter. Pharmacists will explain how the medication’s strength, dosing information and dosing device vary from the supply parents may be familiar with, and provide them with advice and information to determine the right dose for their child.
  • Parents and caregivers are also encouraged to read the package instructions carefully to determine the correct amount to give to children.

Yeah, I can't see too many people going to the pharmacy and saying "I don't want your normal children's tylenol, give me some of that weaker, more expensive Turkish stuff you've got hidden behind the counter that you have to train me on before I use it"

Hopefully, they didn't order the Turkish coffee-flavored tylenol because that won't go over well with the kids. But I wouldn't put it past the UCP.

Danielle Smith should take a couple of bottles with her afternoon tea.

Also, these are Smith's light bulbs, but worse. If you are going to complain about NDP and their light bulb thing, be ready to have Turkish meds tossed in your face.

Wow. @ABDanielleSmith has been caught lying to Albertans again.

She claims that all of her advocacy for her $20 billion handout has been in public. Lobbyist records prove that was a lie.

Quebecers have figured it out. And politicians pay attention.
Calgary could turn their position in Alberta politics into a jackpot given they basically control the entire election

Woof. The NDP really punted their speech at the Rural Municipalities of Alberta Conference. Pretty disappointing showing from them.
