Globally conservatives have decided they'd rather be sick and poor under a right-wing "daddy" government than rich and healthy under a left-wing "mommy" government.
There is this insecurity growing inside white people. They are starting to panic that their skin colour doesn't offer them the advantages it used to pre-2008. I think social media shows them wealthy people of colour and they're starting to internalize this as "all minorities are doing better than I am".
Albertans talk about alienation as if any of us living outside of Toronto or Vancouver don't experience the same sense of "people only talk about Toronto and Vancouver".
Meanwhile, Albertans routinely shit on Atlantic Canada, behave as if BC is just Calgary's port, and complain bitterly and non-stop about the French.
It’s disgusting how oil extraction has come to dominate the culture of Alberta and the CPC in general.
In reality the industry far less important than it’s credited for, and it’s incredibly mismanaged by the Albertan government. The oil extraction should be run by the province as a public benefit to enrich their population, like in Saudi Arabia or Norway.
The management should focus on maximizing long-term value and building up local industry to add value. Giving away so much of the value of an inherently limited resource is so incredibly wasteful and unnecessary.
Albertans ought to be outraged that the UPC and other right wingers have privatized what should be their fortune into the hands of few. But instead the propagandists have convinced them to be outraged their future isn’t being squandered fast enough.
The burden is on us to make this farce understood.
She’s a brainless fluffer for the oil industry. Alberta - always a race to the bottom with the “politicians” they elect. 🙄 I thought Ralph Klein was bad, but they topped that human failure with Kenney and now even worse then Kenney - Marlaina. Fuck it. I hope AB leaves Canada. It will be tiny, pathetic and landlocked, cause they won’t be able to take unceded Indigenous territory with them.
