Luvin the fact since they took power:

Lost my tuition rebate which was going to pay off the last bit of my debt

Have to pay more for the bus because they just decided they didn't want to anymore

Watched as my field was cut down by the government telling the WRHA to cut their budget.

Watched as my own place of work was cut down by the above.

Currently watching the unions fight themselves for the honor of being the one union the government laughs at, ignores so the union can shrug and go "eh whattya gunna do?"

Like even/if we get rid of Pallister there is no way in hell they are going to rebuild the gutted healthcare industry. This is just our future now.

But hey now I get to save literal cents on purchases! WOW

itll get fixed somehow, hallway medicine got fixed somehow. we need massive capital improvements to every hospital in the province

the Red Deer hospital has been begging for an expansion for years now, but we got government funds to build a new $90m courthouse because traffic court had to be moved to a local hotel.

There's so loving much wrong with that, it hurts.

I've spent 3 days in the Red Deer emergency room waiting for a bed, but was lucky enough to have a doctor with the forethought to classify me as a c-diff risk which got me a room with bed and a toilet.

My friend got their house key cut for me so I can let their dogs out while his wife works 16 hour shifts back to back at a hospital that's going to close in a few weeks and just lol forever at this ad.

I saw those tweets being passed around fbook and made a mental note to check it out later because I thought there is no way that could be loving real. No way they could be either that tone deaf or petty....

So I started reading Clearing the Plains today. I'm looking for particular information, so I'm kinda reading most of it quickly, but I found a cool fact that I think meaningfully recontextualizes the relationship between Indigenous Peoples and early fur traders: Most of the early fur trade, the Europeans were taking on what was basically second-hand clothing. They wanted the soft underfur of the beaver pelts, but lacked the technology to easily remove the harder, protective longer fur. This meant that the Europeans mostly bought fur clothing that had been worn for several years, long enough for the protective longer fur to have worn off.

I know signs don't really have much to do with voting, but I am happy to see a lot of Alberta Party signs instead of UCP everywhere. And I don't mean in a "split the conservative vote" sort of way, I mean in a "if the NDP loses I would much rather have the AP in power than the UCP" sort of way.

wabs been really good lately, hes constantly shoving everything back at the pcs and delaying the worst of their bills to get them into the news. the ndp is actually leading the PCs in Winnipeg 36-32 which would probably mean a minority government for one or the other if an election was held today

I imagine with respect to the die hards it's not about changing their minds, but just discouraging them. Making them less likely to vote. And I guess there may exist some number of people who would be more likely to vote for Scheer if they perceived him as quiet, screwed down, and generally competent.

Yes but the Liberal messaging right now is mostly "What do you want, Scheer to be Prime Minister?" it's not an accident that they want him more involved in the story.

This is an all Liberal scandal, there's no need for him to pipe up and extra seriously demand Trudeau resign some more.
