Big Day for Alberta and The Great Wide West - Let’s Predict

Alberta election results:



Blessings and Prayers for rain!

We can enjoy the moment. For now.
The Alberta Student Votes program had a NDP majority. My sister has kids in Sherwood Park Catholic Schools and she's sure the seperate system will be eliminated in time. 2 Albertas.

At least we have a functioning two party system with a representative urban rural split.

Commies really?

A good example is Anne McGrath, national director of the NDP. In the 1984 Federal Election she ran in Edmonton-Strathcona under the Communist Party of Canada banner. Then there is the left wing faction of the NDP, the Socialist Caucus. They advocate for the nationalization of much of Canada’s industry. On and on. Can you find me an example of someone high up in the Conservative Party with a history in whatever the proud boys are?

Yes the indoctrination continues. We have a short window to really push this back or at least arm ourselves with rock solid legislation against this BS. fckin Kenny wasted 4 yrs of doing nothing, now its all on smith in 4 yrs.

I trust chuck is packing his bags as we speak.

The Sask NDP looks practically normal to Notley and Singh. These guys aligned themselves with these woke causes and harming of our primary industries. I dont know how you could possibly vote for dismantling of the economy. People are right out to lunch in this country. O&G brings in $200B into our federal coffers. Like what the hell would replace that.

Maybe in 4 yrs we will all be gay and woke and living on the govt handouts.

In the Alberta country side, anybody who dares to have a centrist point of view will be called a commie by the right wingers. LOL

Most republicans in the US think Canada is a full socialist country! Even Alberta.

Look at Saskatchewan. Run by a more centrist Conservative Sask Party

The province owns the utilities and a provincial insurance company and is mostly well served by some of the lowest utility and car insurance rates in the country.

In any case Alberta looks pretty divided with the NDP taking the cities and the UCP the rural ridings.

The popular vote 45% vs 52%. Looks like there are a lot of "commies" in Alberta too!

Smith will have a hard time keeping all the UCP factions happy and will likely be dumped like former leaders.

the NDP has a path to a victory in the next election if Smith goes off the rails again and again.

[blackpowder]

No, you will be 4 years older, that's all.

Do you know anyone in a city?
Centralized control. Safe and blameless.
Thousands have no family doctor. None can afford out of pocket anything.
Removal of the easiest to blame.
How in the world did Singh's haranging of Weston clips play over and over?
Think like a Chuck. Business can never be trusted.

Danielle Smith had negative attack pieces almost daily published on CBC, CTV, Global. Political commentators like Duane Bratt ran her down consistently. I am actually surprised she did as well as she did.

Is their an urban rural political divide? Absolutely. Not only in Alberta in my opinion. In Canada our Parliament is controlled by the major urban centres, few of us in the countryside agree with the policies, that is the reality.

Just thankful that elections AB could not find a road to cheat nutly into power last night. Giving thanks foir old fashioned paper ballots and cardboard boxes. What was up with the slow count? Need to see audits of the early vote. Everybody was dreading a repeat of the 2020 election nightmare when you went to bed knowing that Trump was re elected (even the cbc had called it for Trump by 11:30 mountain time) to wake up to the nightmare of what has been going on stateside since.

[cropgrower]

Great outcome , and CC will get to see his beloved Danni on TV lots for the next 4 years ! Him and the fake news media can go back to attacking PP non stop now again , looks like the special rapper may get booted from his cover up job today ,singh is calling a vote

[sumdumguy]

The MSM only interviewed NDP - what a bunch of ars-holes!

You have finally seen the light Chuck.

We could probably get you on the sign crew for the Sask Party for the next Provincial Election.

You could stop at all the places you have been putting up NDP signs and explain this to them. Maybe even point out they won't take away health care and give everything to big corporations with no benefit to the taxpayers?

But I expect you don't have many left on your NDP faithful route as they are literally dying off.

Some on here say you can't change and never hear anything we say.
You've proved them wrong!

I wonder how all these pop-up parties effected the result. Who are these pop-up parties?

No such thing as a 'centrist". Only far right vs wrong. Now that she has a mandate, Premier Smith should do something conservative like firing 10000 bureaucrats for a warmup. Was watching an interview with Dr, William Makis (led cancer treatment at the Cross for a number of years) regarding how corrupt Alberta Health is (thanks for nothing nutly). Premier Smith had mused about disbanding the college of physicians and surgeons of AB. Now is the time to do this. The whole covid fiasco showed clearly that this organization can't police itself.

I said the Libs were on level with the Greens but I see they aren’t even half the Green Party 😅

[Taiga]

Don’t worry too much about the kids, people generally turn more conservative as they start working and paying taxes. Productive people anyway. Unfortunately lots of loser adults that gravitate to socialist systems.
