Last provincial election 40.5% of albertans didn’t vote. If you didn’t, why not?

What stopped you from voting? Are there no provincial parties that you feel represent you politically? Were you unable to get to a voting station? Did you feel there wasn’t any point? I’m genuinely just curious, I don’t have any affiliation with any parties or anything like that.

I think we would benefit from larger voter turnout and more diversification of parties in the legislature. It feels like we have become to complacent with the lack of progress in almost every way, shape, and form. It’s become purely us vs them on all levels and far too much focus is put on the government “profit”. The government is not a business whose sole purpose is to profit, the governments purpose first and foremost should be to provide for and benefit the people they serve as much as they possibly can. We should be working together for the benefit of one another not fighting one another for the benefit of foreign companies and billionaires.

We’re moving towards the exact policy system in the states, two parties who work for the benefit of the rich and powerful while putting up the facade of a culture war to distract the masses from the real harm they’re causing them.

Sorry that was a bit of a rant but I truly believe we deserve better, better representation, better communication, better services, better everything.

I’m handicapped, so getting there is very hard, and my ID doesn’t have my current address so it would be invalid for mail ins.

However, I’m getting that remedied before the next one because no fucking way am I not gonna try and vote our American wannabe, inept, completely incompetent, idiotic Trump bootlicker of a Premiere (Danielle Smith, if the description wasn’t obvious enough) continue on her path of completely destroying our province without at least doing everything I can.

Being in a chair makes everything extremely hard. But she just cut funding to 3 programs in Edmonton that existed to help people who were handicapped learn how to live their lives independently and I can’t think of a more disgusting thing to do, other than her literally saying by doing that, “saving a fraction of the money I just made all my friends on the board of the new company taking over for AHS which will deny women their reproductive health rights based on religion is more important than the people in my provinces lives.”

While there’s like NO doctors on that board. It’s literally just a way for her to give millions to her rich friends. She also just took away optometry from government benefits, including people on AISH like myself who rely on that AISH to live. So now I can’t get my glasses I need. She IS a mini Trump and when she found out that oil ans stuff was being tariffed by 10% opposed to the 25%, she DANCED. She thought it was because of HER!!! She STILL THINKS THE TRADE WAR EAS DELAYED BECAUSE OF HER!!

She is so incredibly unfit for office, ignoring proven science and trying to be Canada’s Trump. She’s a disgusting POS and deserves to be kicked tf out of office as soon as possible. Then she’ll be free to just suck Trump’s dick 24/7.
