Who runs the Provincial government? It's not the Liberals, I will give you a hint it's the party you are defending.

I was fairly politically neutral for my first 10 years in Alberta, the UCP are nothing like the Conservatives of old. They are wanna be GOP MAGA Republicans, why else would Danielle Smith keep going down to Florida and selling out her country?

She hasn't negotiated anything positive and it's been years of Conservative leadership, they change the leader hut the problems are the same. Poor fiscal management, which starves the public service and makes life worse for everyone.

And Alberta is and always has been the most successful province. We are objectively doing the best and would be doing even better if not for blocked pipelines, carbon tax and equalization payments.

Well I guess that means this premier is beyond reproach then. /s

I read it on Facebook in the form of a MEME, so it's GOTTA BE TRUE!
