The upcoming Alberta Provincial Election is tomorrow, May 29th, and it’s somehow still anybody’s guess as to how the individual ridings and overall party seats will pan out. There has been record setting early voting, so every vote counts!
Rachel Notley and the New Democratic Party are once again the main contenders to dislodge the stubborn deertick of a ‘Conservative’ gov’t that has for decades been bamboozling woefully disinformed Albertans out of their resources and hard earned labour. Far too many conservative cornflakes have been convinced that ‘pwning the libs’ is so edgy that they miss that ‘the libs’ aren’t looking pained for just themselves, they are feeling sorry for them too, the average working UCP’er, for being so stupid as to cut off their own noses to spite everyone else’ faces.
The New Democratic Party have put forward a plan that won approval from a locally respected economist, Todd Hirsch. The United Conservative Party’s campaign is now attacking that experienced economist’s credibility, instead of his conclusions.
The ucp’s ‘plans? Well they are alarming, nebulous, and tortuously designed to hit all the right notes on their elaborate dog whistle. Do you hate the gays? Do the words ‘socialism’, or ‘communism’ make you automatically angry, even though you really have no ideas whatsoever about what they actually mean?
Do you feel that ‘the only way theY (the NDP) can win is by cheating, and so you would feel obligated to hunt every last one of them down and hold them accountable if they are determined by elections Alberta to have won?
So, I'm going over the data for a column about oil/gas during the @Alberta_UCP's 4 years.
*1.5x as many jobs lost as @albertaNDP
*Capex only 50% of 2014 peak
*No new pipelines or shipping capacity
*Higher O&G emissions

Alberta has had a horrendous wildfire season so far, at times with 20,000 folk evacuated from their communities… some still are. So,
when you talk with your friends and family today about the election…show them this thread!Danielle Smith INCREASED her own office by 23%, schemed to quietly give away $20,000,000,000 to profitable oil and gas companies…but gave $0 to help prevent wild fires in Alberta
Did you know Danielle Smith is an avowed fan of Ron DeSantis? And here’s “UCP candidate Chelsae Petrovic saying the quiet part out loud again…”
Take Back Alberta, a group that as good as made the outright fascist claim that they were responsible for removing the former, legitimately elected, Albertan premier Jason Kenney and replacing him with Danielle Smith in order to wreak their unwarranted revenge on Alberta Health Services, appear to have read “A Handmaid’s Tale” like it was a DIY manual for replacing democracy with a theocracy.
A vote for the UCP is a vote for further destroying Alberta’s publicly funded healthcare system:
Unfilled residency spots suggest 'there is no Alberta advantage,' says AMA president
I’m in a social media group with 1000s of AB doctors discussing exit plans if there’s a Smith UCP win.
A reminder: Danielle Smith, Leader of the United Conservative Party of Alberta says to the now convicted hateful preacher Artur Pawlowski in an 11 minute call regarding his then upcoming court case,
"Leave this with me"
“Contact with ministry appropriate.” — Premier Danielle Smith
And yet,
Former premier Danielle Smith is found guilty of contravening Alberta’s Conflict of Interest Act by Ethics Commissioner.
Artur Pawlowski is a theo-fascist performance artist in the guise of a preacher. And he is not calling for friendly, reasoned political discourse, as evidenced by his most recent conviction. Just because Danielle Smith’s conflict of interest in Artie’s case was only a failed attempt to undermine Alberta’s democratic institutions by the UCP leader, then premier of the province, doesn’t minimize the threat such criminal behaviour represents. Everybody knows that ‘if at first you don’t succeed, and aren’t held accountable for trying...’
It appears that under a United Conservative Government a perp’s odds of successfully procuring provincial politcal leaderships’ help in their legal battles may increase greatly the closer their friendship and proximity to Rob Anderson is.
Ms. Smith is threatening the CBC for reporting her own words. In her best duckspeak: ‘I lied, so you can’t quote me because I am an unreliable source.’
Here’s a link to the recording in question.
Any decent person would have stepped down long ago, Ms. Smith especially, considering how she attained her position as leader of the party. It is astounding that she has the gall to hang on until after the election, but even so there is so much more to the story than that in Alberta.
This diary has the shortest list of the longest list of FU’s by the current, most unrelentingly unrepentant, and unbelievably corrupt Conservative gov’t in Alberta’s 40+ year history of Conservative governments.
Don’t be a self immolating Duff racing to the bottom of the barrel Alberta, if you haven’t already, vote for your local New Democratic Party representative on May 29th!
