UCP will get crushed but since there are like 3 other Conservative parties in Alberta I have to assume one of them will win.

Albino Squirrel posted:I don't see anyone but the ucp or ndp winning here. No splinter con party is gonna attract the full right wing spectrum and there's no vote splitting on the left here anymore. I was surprised to see the Liberals making a rally of sorts in recent polls. Still like 5% but still, imagine hating the idea of the NDP enough to vote for the Alberta Liberals lol

AB election is too far off for me to comfortably say the UCP are toast. Albertans suck. After the latest polling my riding came out as "leans NDP" because it is full of loving rich white single family households and I kind of hate it.

Furnaceface posted:Hickory Sticks Manitoba. Probably by a disturbing landslide. With Pallister gone, the Cons will be able to go "See, we're good now! It was all his fault" all the while continuing his policies, and continuing to hammer on the "Kinew is a woman-beater" button, especially now that the Con premier is a woman. Part of me wishes the crazy lady did win, despite the horrible damage she would do, just so people remember that the Cons are not good for anyone's interests by the time the next election rolls around (still hoping for the hail Mary joke ending where her request to the Queen's Bench for another (intra-party) election results in the Queens Bench ordering a new provincial election).

Arc Hammer posted:Talked to my brother about the minimum wage increase. This is what he replied with: If I'm following his logic here, this nebulous 'social reform' should fix the job marketplace so that employers have to offer good wages to get people. Putting aside that that is kind of happening right now, if this kind of magic happened why would you need a minimum wage at all? This blather about reform just sounds like a smokescreen for his real views that he just doesn't want 'burger flippers' to have a decent life off their wages. Femtosecond posted:For some reason I'd thought the BC government already did this ??? Maybe what I'd read before was something at a more informal level? (ie. "we're talking with the Health Minister about blah blah") Sounds cool and all, but I would be extremely concerned that the redirection to services is still supposed to be done via the police showing up. From the quotes you can see that they're concerned about thresholds and 'danger', even for this small step. If it's no longer a crime to hold then there's no reason for police to be involved. Given how poo poo the VPD is I expect them to either threaten/harass drug users or just do nothing.

Sashimi posted:Ontario maybe, because the opposition seems perfectly capable of loving up the easiest lay-up of an election. I think the NDP have zero shot in Ontario, unfortunately, because Bob Rae did a (not actually) bad thing 30 years ago and so nothing can get better ever. Del Duca might have a shot if literally anyone knew who he was.

The year is 2090 and the ONDP finally appear poised to sweep into power on the back of a young charismatic leader. Opening line of a Toronto Star op-ed a week before the election: "I feel the excitement too, but on the 100th anniversary of Rae Days we need to ask ourselves if we can really trust the NDP with power"

Noblesse Obliged posted:My bigger issue is that there’s no metric for inflation that is meaningful to regular people. It’s decided upon by those who use it to benefit capital over workers. This is the list of things included in the CPI: https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/62f0014m/62f0014m2021015-eng.htm and the weightings are here: https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=1810000701 Certainly there are objections to be made with how inflation is calculated, but claiming it excludes "food, shelter, energy" is just plain wrong.

There are way more of them than you'd think, which definitely doesn't bode well for our healthcare system in general. McGavin posted:I hope this is another one of those times where Doug says something stupid and is forced to change track a day or two later. I think it's vaccination or rapid tests multiple times a week, so I don't think the union is going to cave on the exemption.

TBH most hospitals have mandated it anyway and based on recent court decisions have legal backing so it's just him taking the most cowardly route.

ONDP are dead in the water because that's where they want to be. They didn't turf Horwath after she lost to Ford with the Libs having imploded -- the best chance they'd ever get to win. Keeping a loser like that around means aren't serious about winning elections and are just cashing cheques at this point. And yeah, any hospital worth a toss has already mandated COVID vaccinations.

Yeah, just Ford doing his Ford thing. Every hospital around has mostly already fired or suspended their non-vaccinated employees, so Ford is just taking the easy route of not having to take a position since it's been done for him. Here's a link about that latest Blanchet-Kenny slapfight. https://edmontonjournal.com/news/politics/alberta-legislature-government-equalization-referendum-debate-ucp-ndp Pretty funny.
