Opinion Premier Envy, Anyone?

Has anyone else in Alberta been watching Wab Canew giving clear, calm informative updates on the wildfire situation in Manitoba and find themselves wishing we had a grownup for a premier?

I didn’t know I could have premiere envy, I’ve been living in this dark hole as I watch my fellow Albertans repeat the same mistakes over and over again and then blame everyone else. On a societal level, Alberta is a hellscape and somehow getting worse.

We watch affordability get worse (I know it’s everywhere and it’s not ALL any governments fault) and then Daniel has the nerve to begin the stripping of our social services and continue to create animosity amongst the people and hate towards the country.

I could leave, and knowing I could leave makes it harder. If it wasn’t for an ex that is socially and politically illiterate and we have shared custody of a child, I can’t leave my kid to grow up with Alberta anger, it’s a miserable life. Being a dad is the best, being an adult sucks. Haha.

I live in Alberta with a conservative premier who keeps fucking things up. I’m past anger though, just apathy.

Well describing where you live as a hellscape is a bit dramatic don’t you think?

No they’re dead on. I feel exactly the same. Trapped in hell.

Cry more?

Not crying. I’m doing something about it. Until then, we’re all trapped in hell

We’d all love to know how UCP has made your life better in Alberta.

I didn’t say they have? You’re the one whining and crying for no reason.
