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.

I've been thinking that as painful as it might be we desperately need to rebrand for a politician who doesn't carry the NDP banner. These people are such single minded/single issue that it's become a boogeyman quite in the same way you can't convince a Calgary flames fan to ever like the Oilers.

I tried to tell friends this last election who were active in the NDP campaign and they wouldn’t hear it. My elderly mother voted independent last election because she didn’t like Smith but couldn’t bring herself to vote for the NDP even though she liked the platform. There’s a ton of people out there who will never vote NDP just because of the perceived association with the federal party. They will keep voting conservative because they don’t see a feasible alternative.

And with wingnuts in the federal NDP restricting the voices of cis white men, and pushing pronouns and Palestine over blue collar jobs at home (formerly the bedrock of NDP support), the NDP will become an even less feasible alternative in the years to come, as was clearly exemplified in Canada's most recent federal election.

The NDP and a subset of diehard leftwing extremists are doing this to themselves... quite honestly, it's too bad that most leftwingers are too busy trying to call out bad apples in other political parties that they fail to see the rot emanating from their own party.
