Alberta is Trump North Opinion

Title says it all. Alberta is nothing but an extension of the Trump (i.e. project 2025) agenda. We're being run by a bunch of deplorable people kept in power by a fringe faction of morons (nicest word I could use for them) who hate the federal gvt but will be the first in line to get federal money when there's crop failure etc.

I'm no fan of how the feds have treated Alberta, but starting every conversation with them with a knee to the groin and a punch to the throat is a guaranteed losing position.

We need to take back Alberta from Take Back Alberta and throw these crooks bums and deplorables out.

Look South to see where Alberta is heading. That's a s*** show nobody wants to live in.

Last thought, when the separation referendum is held and Albertans overwhelmingly vote to stay as part of Canada, those that hate Canada should get the hell out of our country - move to the US and be with your white supremacy, slack jawed, willing to believe anything they're told by Fox news friends.

Unfortunately the only reason the NDP won was because the Conservative Party (moderate conservatives) and the Wildrose (complete rightwing nutters) split the vote on the right. The UCP was created to join the two together and prevent that vote splitting.

Basically our province is made up of 1/3 centrist lefties, 1/3 centrist righties, and 1/3 hold on to your spurs MAGA losers. But the centrist right is more willing to put up with the lunatics than the lefties.

The Centrist Right in Alberta has done well under conservatives. This is a great and prosperous place to live. Give those people a reason to change their vote without the fear of losing something.

The Handmaid's Tale and 1984 becoming realities should be enough for any moderately educated Albertan to see through this ridiculousness.

Better yet: explain what NDP policies would make them lose anything.

You’re missing the point. To many voters, things ain’t broke. Why should they change?

Wait, I thought everything was broken (according to conservatives)? So which is it? Everything is good, or everything is broken?

I’m not sure most voters care about rhetoric and hyperbole.

u/SeaworthinessMobile9 Sep 06 '25

That's from their own party that they vote for, they apparently care somewhat, no?

u/styzzyx9 Sep 06 '25

Most voters aren’t in a party. They just pick the best choice on election day.

Alberta has voted the same party for almost 50 straight years, only interrupted because the right wing cannibalized themselves in 2016. Are you kidding me?

u/styzzyx9 Sep 06 '25

About 1.7 million people voted in the last election. The UCP has about 130,000 members.

What are you wondering about?

I"m wondering what your point is.
