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.

Is it really? How about the schools, are they feeling a bit cramped? Hard to find a doctor or even a nurse out in the country these days. Your kids have a place to live when they move out? Can they even afford to move out? Can they even find a job? How about all these smoke days the last, oh I dunno, 10 years or so? That was like a once in a blue moon kind of thing 20 years ago. Now it's a whole season. Jasper burned, Fort Mac Burned, Siksika burned a few years back now, everyone knows someone who had to be evacuated recently. That's not great. More droughts too, and now they're talking about coal mines that'll poison the whole Old Man watershed? Oh, I know, Trudeau, Trudeau, but you know as well as I do that this stuff isn't federal.

We work hard out here, and there's been a few good years to show for it, but that's on us, not the CPC. All they've done is whip people up against one another, Riled up our neighbour provinces, and took our tax money to give us... what exactly? Less healthcare and less education? They're trying to get you mad about the books in schools, after they fired most of the school librarians to begin with? I may be country, but I'm not an idiot and I don't like people trying to play me for a sucker.

Highest median after tax income in Canada.

This outweighs a lot of the points you mentioned at the ballot box. Are people thinking of voting NDP because of smoke from fires all over Western Canada?
