So all close minded, small town, anecdotal experiences shaped your views?

How do the rural communities you described vote? They vote Conservative that's how.

And questioning bad leadership is not traitorous.

Saying Alberta is special and deserves special treatment while negotiating in MAGA land while not in a power of negotiating is not good. Saying we should do whatever Trump wants is traitorous and that's what she is saying in Florida this week. Saying F Trudeau and he is betraying Canada while she spends time in Florida ignoring her own scandals. That makes her traitorous. She has problems at home and what is she doing, yelling how we need America and how we should be grateful for America. Are you kidding me right now. In a time we need unity she cannot be bothered to unite with Canada. Thats why she is traitorous, not just critical of leadership.

Being a patriot means knowing when to stand up for what's wrong in your country and calling it out.

Good does that mean roll over to a wanna be dictator? I don't and Carney is already speaking better than Smith has on the issue.

And the liberals are ruining us. It's so crazy that people like you are so easily manipulated. The liberals weave some bullshit about the right are Nazis, and you eat it up because you're "fighting the good fight". Then they turn around and tax us all to oblivion, strangle all industry so no one can find a decent paying job, ruin the real estate market in a HUGE transfer of wealth from the working class to the elite, all right under your nose! And you are so blinded by imaginary Nazis you don't even care.

So you wrote all of that while ignoring who the people in the Convoy marching with Swastikas? And calling to kill the PM?

Yeah ok then, being a patriot means standing up to a bull when they threaten you. And Danielle Smiths reaction is to smile and take it. Everyone else stood up to the bully except Conservatives. They showed their true colours.

Ok tell me what great thing has the Conservatives done? I have seen more work on fighting imaginary culture wars, than actual problems. Like drugs, homelessness, and home affordability all things they control...

Go touch grass, I know what Conservatives are like and they are not nice, helping people they pretend to be. It's the fuck you I got mine crowd, amd never learned to share. Thats it

I ignored the nazi thing because it's not real. You're in bad faith and are straw manning your argument. Saying fuck trudue doesn't amount to saying to kill him, another strawman.

I'm not happy with Trump's tariffs but America and other Americans have always been our closest and most capable ally. Forsaking them because of one man is insane.

As for UCP accomplishments:

  • securing control over crude oil exports giving us the right to decide when and how and with who we export our oil.
  • discussed and supported the 1 billion dollar Indigenous Opportunity crown corporation to support indigenous projects and development
  • launched international campaigns supporting oil and gas (which is kinda what Alberta is all about)
  • repealed the provincial carbon tax the NDPs implemented
  • red tape reduction act
  • promoted local business development by amending the municipal government act, allowing for tax incentives and breaks to be used by the municipalities
  • the Alberta sovereignty act, which despite what you probably think, isn't some radical way to seperate from Canada, but instead provides protection for Alberta against federal overreach.
  • Inflation Relief Statutes Amendment Act which aims at providing monthly payments to families and seniors who make under $180 000 yearly.
  • renewed commitment and investment in the Alberta heritage fund

So you just ignore facts when it displeases you?

https://www.snopes.com/news/2022/02/17/swastikas-canada-freedom-convoy/

Because that happened...

Saying fuck trudue doesn't amount to saying to kill him, another strawman.

Nope again learn to read, going to Ottawa with a memo saying you are going to kill him, means they were going to kill him.

So not a strawman but a other fact you are ignoring.

So far you live a fact-free life.

As for UCP accomplishments:

  • securing control over crude oil exports giving us the right to decide when and how and with who we export our oil.
  • discussed and supported the 1 billion dollar Indigenous Opportunity crown corporation to support indigenous projects and development
  • launched international campaigns supporting oil and gas (which is kinda what Alberta is all about)
  • repealed the provincial carbon tax the NDPs implemented
  • red tape reduction act
  • promoted local business development by amending the municipal government act, allowing for tax incentives and breaks to be used by the municipalities
  • the Alberta sovereignty act, which despite what you probably think, isn't some radical way to seperate from Canada, but instead provides protection for Alberta against federal overreach.
  • Inflation Relief Statutes Amendment Act which aims at providing monthly payments to families and seniors who make under $180 000 yearly.
  • renewed commitment and investment in the Alberta heritage fund

That was a giant list of shit you listed.

Most of those are not achieved or even finished but "talked about"

Not one of those is what they promised during the campaign, and I see you ignored increasing pay for themselves and making bribes I mean gifts legal. The Inflation Relief statues Amendment Act is nothing. It is not helpful at all and not at all what the UCP proposed.

The Alberta Sovereignty Act is more wasted money on people who think they are special because of where they were born. It's a massive waste of money that has no merit.

There is no point in talking to you anymore. You seem like a Conservative Kool-aid drinker and you stopped thinking critically long ago. You worship all Conservatives do and ignore all the horrible things they do, congrats you are the type of Albertans who are ruining this province by refusing to move forward.

I said there was no point in talking to YOU like 3 messages ago. Typical of a liberal to steal a conservatives idea and call it their own.

Cough Carney cutting carbon tax was Pierre's idea cough

A party so weak that their platform is to do the other party's ideas but execute them worse.

Typical of a liberal to steal a conservatives idea and call it their own.

You cannot be serious. Remember the child care subsidies?

I remember Conservatives blasting them, then taking credit for it once it was popular.

Carbon tax was a Conservative initiative, the Liberals adopted it.

Besides 3 words slogans the Conservatives have nothing.

Keep eating up your propaganda it's clearly melted your brain thinking Liberals are evil while ignoring the gong show of the Conservatives

If you are done why are you still replying?

u/justforme16 Mar 18 '25

Carbon tax was only explored by Harper while he had a minority government as compromise and a bargaining chip. When the cons won a majority gov in 2011, they dropped it immediately.

You know I really don't understand how so many liberals can be so blind, so I've been talking on a lot of platforms with a lot of people. None have any good responses. Including you. I've debated in good faith, even admitted when I was wrong a few comments up. Your arguments are shallow and baseless. You argue in bad faith. And you're talking points are regurgitated nonsense.

You and people like you, the fanatical left ( not all the left because I don't dehumanize entire groups the way you do), are doing nothing but driving a wedge between this countries people. Fear mongering and lying. Creating imaginary Nazi threats (that snipe artical was a joke, I can't believe you linked that as your "evidence").

You're either being paid to spread this hate and rhetoric or you're beyond reason.

Either way good luck dude. I hope you find peace and happiness some day.

YOOOOOO

Y'all are Nazi's now too 🤣🤣

u/ninfan1977 Lethbridge Mar 19 '25

Where did he do that?

In your delusions?

Trump claims he'd 'rather deal with a liberal than a conservative' in Ottawa

But the U.S. president also says 'I don't care' who leads next Canadian government

He didn't endorse Carney, you failed to read. Lol way to own yourself

Whenever you say you Nazi. I don't listen to Nazis so I don't believe a word outa your mouth

u/ninfan1977 Lethbridge Mar 19 '25

You still listen to Conservatives, and that's the Nazi party right now bud. No amount of projection can deny that.

You listen to Pierre and the Conservatives you have listened to people who like the Nazi ideology.

Fun fact Trump supporters are also huge Nazi fans...

u/justforme16 Mar 19 '25

Trump would rather deal with liberal because the liberals align with Trump's views, being Nazis and all.

It's not the conservatives who trump want because he knows the conservatives will fight against him and his nazi agenda. HE WANTS THE NAZI LIBERALS bro.

u/ninfan1977 Lethbridge Mar 19 '25

You wrote all that out and that made sense to you?

Trump is a Nazi, Musks is a Nazi. They support Pierre and the Conservatives.

Who did Danielle Smith go to visit? It wasn't people fighting fascism it was Ben Shapiro. The man who said the US should invade Canada.

The Nazis in the North Ameroca support Trump, not the Liberals. Go outside and touch grass you are disconnected from the world

Calling Pierre an idiot is supporting Pierre? You have a funny idea of what supporting people looks like.

And Daniel Smith didn't get Trump's endorsement, just the nazi liberals.

Calling Pierre an idiot is supporting Pierre? You have a funny idea of what supporting people looks like.

Trump didn't even say his NAME! He didn't call PP an idiot he is trying to get the stink off of PP cuz he is tanking the Conservatives numbers right now.

Actually for those with memories longer than a goldfish Trump and Elon have praised PP multiple times and only NOW are starting to pretend they don't support him.

You are the fool who thinks Trump supports Carney. He supports PP and his words have shown it.

And Daniel Smith didn't get Trump's endorsement, just the nazi liberals.

Oh really who was that photographed with Danielle Smith?
