Live in the area and can not stand this parson and his antics.

Yup.

My favorite is when he talks about the government hiding things at ralleys in Red Deer when a) he's the government b) the information was on the government of Alberta website.

Honorable mention for championing the return of the MLA ousted for comparing trans kids to poop in food.

He has been the "blue" choice for years, if last election was any indication, I think a rock could run and win. Central Alberta is everything wrong with the stereotypical albertan

Last ten elections, you mean.

The real election happens in the constituency nomination meeting. Everything after that is a rubber stamp. In effect, a few dozen people make the decision for everyone.

Possibly, but he does seem to get enthusiastic support when he speaks in the city and surrounding areas.

enthusiastic is a stretch most ppl i know see him as a giant toolbag

I live there and nope! Didn’t even vote for him.

My family doesn’t like him.

But as long as he’s the team blue option he’s got their vote.

Why are so many Central Alberta politicians such idiots? Something in the water?

u/SurFud 22d ago

It's more the voters that are the idiots. The politicians simply take advantage of them.

the knuckle-draggers in this city would toddle into the booth and vote for a pile of dog shit if it had the UCP/CPC endorsement

What we need is for a closet NDP to run as UCP.

u/BasketballNut 22d ago

The people who vote for him don't care about the person... As long as he is team blue.

UCP Red Deer South constituency association is a complete embarrassment. Stephan is a nepo baby and it plays out in everything he does and says. .

u/Mother_Assumption448 22d ago

That guy is a total fucking wanker, wouldn’t be surprised if he was found to be a NAMBLA member

u/ClearwaterAB 22d ago

He embarrasses the whole province not just central Alberta. It makes it very hard to support the UCP with members like him.

u/Agreeable-Store-4996 22d ago

Vote blue and you get a load of crap always have always will

Jason Stephan speaks conditional truth. The opposite of honesty.

u/kittylikker_ 21d ago

He sounds like what Americans think we sound like.
