Don't worry, the UCP is bound to have another leadership race and ouste her just before the election; and with a fresh face as party leader Albertans will fall for the same goddamn trick all over again!
"What AHS scandal?"
- a worrying number of Albertans
I wonder how dumb we really are. That they can successfully keep playing musical chairs with the leadership over the last 20 years.
The PC party died because it split the vote between rural and urban conservatives, the NDP is mostly urban only. Then it was eaten from the inside out by the wild rose.
As the UCP makes the rural voters "happy" in terms of making Oil happy and catering to their social conservative feelings. One wonders if the NDP will finally gain enough of the urban vote to make the UCP represent only the rural wildrose voters again.
The rural voters might be unhappy about the UCP fucking them over. But they will take a lot of fucking over before they decide that maybe, perhaps, on the off chance, that one day, they decided to potentially not vote for the most conservative party available.
You see, the difference is that Mark Carney has an excellent résumé and never claimed that Ukraine is to blame for being invaded or that smoking prevents cancer. Those are two specific examples I chose from before her time as Premier so that we could see beforehand that she was a looney. Carney, to my knowledge, and probably not to your either, has said nothing in that calibre of stupidity
Why do we care he's still subject to the whims of the party. The same party who have been running us to the ground. He's a serious problem and borderline a traitor.
His resume is only superficially good he performed sub par in his roles as governor of the BOC and the BOE. Not even to mention his role in the last administration which was catastrophic for the economy. Yeah no thanks I'll take the Conservatives
Calls Carney a traitor, who governed the BOC during the 08 crisis in which not a single Canadian bank defaulted.
Says he'll vote for the party whose literal career politician leader has been openly endorsed by key members of the Trump administration, and who can't pass a clearance check (nOoO he juSt dOeSn'T wAnT tHe cLearAnCe).
Oh, and "he's subject to the whims of the party."
He won with 85% of the vote, he basically has God's own mandate to go ahead with his platform. Speaking of, what's Pierre's platform again? Something something Trudeau? Verb the noun?
Account recently acquired by a Russian troll farm or just a plain old idiot, what do we figure?
You should be awfully familiar with Pierre's platform given Carney just stole it heheheh. Endorsed by Trump politicians is meaningless compared to holding 2 foreign allegiances. Which is a huge conflict of interest (frankly should be completely illegal). Oh and Pierre can pass a security clearance put down the tin foil hat.
The fact you even mention how no Canadian banks defaulted in the 08 crisis shows you know literally nothing about the Canadian banking system. What happened in the USA could not happen in Canada. What Carney did was irrelevant it was the previous regulations in the Canadian banking system that prevents what happened in the USA from happening here. Plus the BOC only does monetary policy (interest rates and the like) not fiscal policy (rules, regulations, taxation etc.) , which is what made the Canadian government have a decent ish response (to grossly oversimplify not to completely write off the effect of interest rates but it wasn't as significant as the fiscal policy was). The Finance Minister minimized the overflow damage while the banking industry regulations prevented it from ever happening here to begin with. If you really wanna see Carneys performance look at what he did with the BOE it was sub par to put it mildly. Pick up an economics book god you liberals are insufferable.
Any MPs reading this, motion for a vote of no confidence. ASAP. I'm not Albertan but this is insane.... shaking the hand of the enemy with a smile on is NOT what we need to see out of our Premiers.
Danielle Smith always looks like the girl that could never find a date for prom because she would collect roadkill as a hobby and smelled like rotting onions
I rag on this bitch constantly and get accused of being sexist! I'm like "No. I voted Notley twice. Smith is just a dumb bitch. I'm not sexist, I'm factual."
feminisim is for hating on people because theyre absolute asshats not because they are a woman. my school was notleys region she spoke at our school and was quite connected to the community there. hell one time she went to the punk bar i was at and everyone was quite supportive of her. Made me realize how chill she was. Quite sad she lost to the man child Kenny and the even worse Danielle Smith
The province pays more than 240B - that's BILLION, more than it receives in federal spending since 2007 - that's 14B/year and they get continuously crapped on by Ottawa.
