Alberta Politics & Government Thread 3.0

[Roughneck]

Always exciting every time the Premier gets behind a microphone.

Is ‘exciting’ the right word?

C'mon she said it twice. Like what the hell was that. Did someone prep her with the word celebrating?

Don't know if posted as the thread moves quickly, but 338Canada's most recent update of March 11th paints an increasingly bleak picture for the NDP's hopes.

A full term of Danielle Smith with a full "mandate" is going to be frightening

I hate how stupid people are. How many punches to the face do you need before you try something different?

Yes .. but this time, it WILL be different.

It must be an amazing coincidence that all of these things that Albertans have been asking the government to do for years are suddenly "in the works". Body cameras for cops, O&G might actually have to pay their taxes...



Even more startling is the fact that none of them will actually be implemented before the election, but we are being asked to take it on faith that the UCP will come through on every single one of them.


How dumb do they think we are??

Dumb enough to also fall for the handouts that all expire just after the election. People are fools. It's amazing to watch them all get dummied by this imbecile in charge. Morons following idiots. Hope everyone enjoys paying for their family doctor visits and watching tax dollars get diverted to woo woo "medicine", while all the advice of experts get ignored so they can force through Libertarian(selfish) policies that are incompatible with a functioning society.

To their credit, Albertans have consistently shown ourselves to be dumb as #### when it comes to politics.



The most gullible voting bloc in the country, year in and year out.

Not at all. Opposite actually. They are one of the few Provinces that critically think when voting for both Provincial and Federal candidates.

Speak for yourself.

How can you say that? They vote for the same ones every year with little exception. That's over a 100 year sample size.

This is Yoho you are talking about here, look at his comment history and the threads/complaints about his bias/drive by comments.

The absolute hilarity it takes to say Albertans think critically when it's the same result over and over. For decades and decades.

Quebecers have figured it out. And politicians pay attention.

Exactly this. How do you expect any concessions to treat you better when you always just hand the politicians votes without accountability. It's stupid.

This has to be the most ill-informed, inaccurate and laughable post in recent CP memory. Imagine living in a myopic bubble like this.

Looking at that chart, what happened in the beginning of December that I am not recalling?

Quebecers put their votes up for sale. They know what the gig is.

Even Ontario, BC, and the Atlantic provinces do a better job of playing the game.

Alberta keeps walking into a wall and keeps thinking the next wall bump will be different.

The fugin NDP have an encyclopedia’s worth of terrible UCP action to target, yet they insist on using the most limp, impotent clip of Daniel Smith being a knob as their primary message?

Like, ####, Jesus guys, you have billions of dollars of tax dollar waste, thousands of pissed off rural residents feeling ignored and outraged, rampant back door nepotism in government contracts, literally hundreds of examples of what the UCP has done that is not in our best interest.

So let’s use a clip of her spitballing her stupid ideas to a webcam? We don’t need you to make a boogie man, just use what they’ve already given you. No wonder the NDP aren’t looking like a win, they are doing a brutal job this campaign.
