As someone in the construction industry it's nice that my field's only mentions in the entire long form document are in relation to housing (and mostly condos there too) and first nations water access But hey cannabis can get more attention than infrastructure why not

Within the context of Alberta, have the Albertan NDP hosed up in any major way? I know the pipeline is bad, and people were mad about health and safety on family farms but setting that all aside I'm curious if there are particular issues where the government clearly hosed up something that would justify giving them the boot. I realize that's not why they're losing in the polls either, I'm just trying to get a good sense of what the government's done since they first took power.

They got elected with a vote split, with the U(in name only)CP it was always going to be an uphill battle.

That farm safety bill was only "bad" in the sense that it forces farmers to have insurance for their workers and (apparently) kids can't be relied on for operating heavy machinery now. I don't know how much of that last part is true, but I have family that farm and they thought it was good legislation so probably just the usual sensationalizing and demonizing of the "socialist government" stamping on are freedoms and poo poo

No, no, Hal_2005 reliably told us that it was the death of the Albertan family farm. You're not suggesting they would just go on the internet and tell a lie, are you?

The last Amber Alert in Alberta was fine, my phone buzzed once for the initial alert, once for the update, and then when it was cancelled. I made a note of the plate and make/colour of the car in case I saw it. It was not an imposition on my life in any way. Also I wish all of you would stop being so negative about anything. It's not healthy, and honestly it's infectious. I felt like poo poo all yesterday, and I posted some inappropriate things as a result, but after sleeping on it and going to work and having a good day, I feel much better. Whatever CM said and whatever CM did, it was a product of profound illness and it's neither useful nor healthy for me to get angry about it. I hope the guy is alright and somehow manages to get back on his rocker.

Is it just me or do Sheer and Nunes look like they were cloned off the same single-cell Conservative? I was going to find images of each of them, but somehow the google seach of just their names seems to have illustrated it well. Spoilered to help minimize the exposure to raw bland.

So as of right now, Elections Alberta has a pretty small amount of candidates up on their website. None of the parties have 87 candidates up atm, the most a party has is the NDP with 54, next is the Alberta party at 52, Independents, which the majority/all? is literally the Alberta Independent Party, they can't even link to the right website for half of the candidates on the site, have 47 somehow ???? the UCP at 45, the Liberals at 12, and 1 Freedom Conservative party candidate. Not to get hopeful in hell province but there are technically 3 conservative parties running with e:two of them at least fielding greater than 50% of candidates. However, the latest poll from Ipsos showed the following: quote:Vote: The United Conservative Party (UCP) starts the campaign with 17-point lead over the governing New Democrats. Currently, 52% of decided and leaning voters say they would be most likely to support or lean towards the UCP. The NDP are next at 35% support, followed by the Alberta Party (4%) and Alberta Liberals (3%). Other parties garner a combined 2%. These results exclude the 19% of Albertans who are undecided or express no preference. I doubt many people even know about the Freedom Conservatives or Independence parties. Polling in this province is kind of loving dumb and unreliable plus FPTP but this isn't like the 3 horse race of 2015. Weird BIAS fucked around with this message at 03:48 on Mar 20, 2019 |

THC posted:Other than not taking the opportunity to drown the oil patch in a bathtub, I think they’ve run a pretty good government Yeah it's this. I maintain they dropped the public interest ball by not hiking fossil fuel royalty rates, but I mostly understand why they chickened out. They've been scandal free, delivered on the things they said they were going to, nothing overly radical even. It's textbook good government, but everybody hates them because they're leftists. Honestly I think most people in Calgary would happily support them if they took any time to be interested in politics, but they don't. People here still think the economy is in a recession.

lol @ the bitcoin begging in her bio now. I don't know how well being a neo-Nazi contrarian pays these days but if she's out seeking bitcoin donations it's probably not much. It could just be my personal feed, but I feel like I'm noticing a real pushback against white supremacist shitheads these days. Anti-racist Canada, the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, the Yellow Vests Exposed people are all doing round the clock duty on pointing out what these troglodytes are happily saying and I'm also seeing more pushback against softy mainstream media outlets that aren't calling a Nazi a Nazi. I don't know how hard the press gallery will push back against people like Scheer and Bernier, who have knowingly lied about things like the UN migration compact, or about how their parties curiously attract white supremacist candidates and supporters for some reason, but more and more people seem upset about it. Not sure how that'll translate come election time, of course, but it's a good sign so far.

It's not just you, that sentiment is definitely gaining momentum. In fact, it's so important that the liberal justice committee just (yesterday) voted to embark on a study of that exact thing because it is much more pressing that that silly snc lavalin fluff.

Ugh, the cronyism surrounding everything going on with SNC is another matter entirely and people are equally fed up with that, I think. Clearly the Liberals are trying to brush it aside, and the total clownshow that the House became during the budget yesterday is a result of that, but let's not pretend that the issue of hatemongers gaining more mainstream acceptance isn't serious or real. We can and should throw the book at both the crooks at corrupt companies and at the loving Nazis.

The government is big enough that it can and should be discussing both of these things at the same time. The brains of the public, on the other hand, are not, and it's pretty foul how they're offering us one worthwhile discussion specifically-timed to distract us from the other.

Has there been any analysis on Scheer's chicken little act? Everything is an 11 outta 10 on the outrage scale. "Omg what is Turdeau doing trying to negotiate with a total stud shark like Trump? He needs to roll over before he destroys the economy!" "Omg the LIEberals gave up so much in the deal. ARE FARMERS! Spineless!" I honestly just completely tune him out in a way that I never could Harper. I'm genuinely curious if his addiction to outrage turns off the general populace or if people are largely eating it up and we're destined to assimilate completely into American political culture

Silver Spooner posted:Hey fun fact (that everybody in here probably already figured): Ontario doesn't have a spending problem, it has a revenue problem. This has been the case since the Harris government, all those fun charts and graphs that compare spending and revenue across provinces consistently have Ontario at or very close to the bottom of the pack. The big problem narrative-wise is that Ontario is simultaneously the biggest province with the largest population and GDP, and the province with more or less the lowest levels of per-capita spending and revenue. This makes it really easy for opponents of "big government" to pull out huge numbers and say "look how big Ontarios debt/deficit/spending is! We need to cut cut cut" and the numbers are billions of dollars so people get scared without realizing that those billions of dollars are actually pretty small compared to Ontario's economic base, and on a per-capita level are significantly below comparable provinces.

It's disgusting that the Liberals are using "only we can fight hate" as a distraction. The scandal itself was, I thought, stupidly overblown. Whatever the merits of my views on that, the distraction they're using now is disgusting. An absolutely cynical attempt to save their own bacon at the expense of increased polarization of the country, turning hate crime into an "us versus them".  The Conservatives are similarly guilty. The way the Liberals are handling people coming from safe third parties is pants on head stupid. The Conservatives could have said that, and gone with "This is pulling resources away from refugees who are in unsafe countries." Being totally true and a damning criticism of the Liberals wouldn't do the trick, though, because they're trying to scoop up anti-immigrant voters. Jagmeet is prejudiced against close talkers. Come on Elizabeth May. Drop the opposition to wifi and save the country.
