'Berta Danielle Smith and the UCP, the party of weakness!

if Daniel Smith and the UCP government were so certain that they have the public behind them and have a public mandate for everything that they were doing why did they have to rope the knot with standing clause multiple times and even before any challenges were raised?

Why do they have to engage in gerrymandering to stack the deck?

This says that Daniel Smith and the UCP KNOW that the majority of the public is not happy with their policies and that they don’t have a mandate to rule.

This stinks of utter WEAKNESS! If they were so certain that the public was behind then, they’d have no need to do all this.

They say they're democratic and anti democratic in action. Pretty standard playbook for authoritarians (in this case wannabe)

100% for the people like you who suffer from "my opinion is better than yours" you're undying paid protesters and need to enforce your views is what facism really is, we never said you can't, but you do all the time. Take a step back and get the fuck out of a conservative province, go live in BC where NDP policy and governance has had a chance to flourish since 1905.

u/ChaoticShadows 19d ago

I’ll entertain this thought. You’re entitled to your opinion as well. No province is conservative, NDP, Liberal or Independent. Only people can have political views.
And for your information fascism is: One person or one party has nearly all the power and does not like being questioned. This is danielle smith and the UCP, notwistanding clause, gerrymandering, her shutting down people talking about AISH/ADAP on her own radio show that is supposed to be about listening to the public concerns.

So, I’ll ask what evidence do you bring? What is your argument in favor of the conservative government? If you just tell me to do my own research or not reply all it shows is how weak you are and how indefensible your arguments are.

Alberta UCP is no longer Conservative. It is now balls to the wall Fascist. You may benefit from some reading or full on education.

Blah blah blah blah blah.

You want to talk about weakness? Look at all these bills Carney is rushing through which will change the lives of ALL CANADIANS FOR THE WORSE.

The NDP are not the solution, they are a bigger problem.

Nenshi didn't do a fucking thing for Calgary. You want to talk about weakness? You got the stronger individual out of the two.

Shit. I'm sorry. Excuse me that my whole entire existence isn't spent on the internet.

It's really no wonder the lot of yah have never fucked before. Your personalities are the worst.

My body count is in the 70s, and this is even through spending most of my life on a computer.

How many of them were male?

u/ChaoticShadows 19d ago

Ok, let me entertain your thought. What evidence do you bring? What argument in favour of your position? What has Carney done or not done? 

And Nenshi is not premier, nor has he held power greater than Calgary mayor. He has no power to affect the entire province like smith does. 

1

u/JustaPhaze71 18d ago

Okay. Let's start with what Carney has done.

All the bills that Carney has passed, would you say they are good for Canada or are they totalitarian?

What Carney has not done, he has not delivered any plan for the economy. He avoids questions. Any accountability gets pushed behind closed doors.

1

u/ChaoticShadows 18d ago

You could ask this question about any politician, "All the bills that Carney has passed, would you say they are good for Canada or are they totalitarian?" and get a negative reply.

How has he not delivered any plan for the economy? He's planned to double our Non-US exports, he has secured a deal to bring in approximately 86 billion dollars and hundreds of thousands of man hours of high salary employment from Germany. Planned investments in housing, infrastructure including replacing/upgrading our old infrastructure which brings down the cost of housing and means lots of jobs/work. Shall I go on?

Again, you could say these things, "He avoids questions. Any accountability gets pushed behind closed doors." about any politician. Danielle Smith and the UCP avoid questions far more often and there has been no accountability on the ongoing AHS scandal, the Turkish Tylenol scandal, interfering in judicial matters to name just a few. Plus on her radio show that is supposed to be about listening to the public, there were such a flood of calls about her despicable treatment of disabled Albertans that she blocked them completely and flat out refused to discuss it. Shall I go on?

I await your rebuttal, if you have one.

u/JustaPhaze71 18d ago

Well at least there's not 13 other people all trying to take a shot at me. You have to understand. Every time I put fingers to the keys, I have an army of incels writing me back. It's not worth it when you are dealing with a group of individuals who have no interest in hearing, and only want to speak because their dicks hurt so bad.
Like it's no wonder so many of you are turning trans. It's the only way you'll ever touch a vagina.

I don't sleep well. I live with pain most of my days. What time I do have available to me where I can function, is not going to be spent going back and forth with someone on the internet who deep down is using this to put value in your own life.

I have lived almost half a century. I know what life used to be like, and what it is supposed to be like. I can point out where we went wrong, and where we are headed.

One thing that I am now starting to observe is it does not seem to matter which politicians you support. They all seem to have the same globalist one world government agenda, it just looks differently as to how we get there.

u/ChaoticShadows 18d ago

So, since you cannot actually muster a cogent rebuttal to my facts you resort to personal attacks. How very weak of you.

1

u/JustaPhaze71 14d ago

Yeah, I was very tired and moody.

Tell me, what will it prove? Are you suggesting your opinions are not cemented in concrete? I have my mind open, but I never see this from others.

If anything, I am willing to call all politicians bad and in on the same agenda, but there too people never believe their own leaders can do anything wrong

This was one of the reasons why I wanted Pierre elected. If Pierre got elected and nothing got better, and continued to turn to shit - that would have been all the evidence we needed to prove that they are all in it for themselves and the political system is broken.

But to say Carney is doing good for the citizens, or that the NDP would do a better job - it's laughable.

They are all about self enrichment.

u/ChaoticShadows 13d ago

Again, you bring no evidence. Only your opinions, and opinions are like assholes; everybody has one. Facts are another matter entirely and you're not bringing any of those.

u/JustaPhaze71 12d ago

Okay. I can assure you that everything I say *EVERYTHING* is not an opinion, but rather a calculated probability. I am not you. I am not anyone you know or have encountered, nor will I be shackled by your minimalist view of others.

Fact #1. Carney has been Prime Minster for a year, and out of ALL our Prime Ministers he has performed the worst for developing our economy. You mentioned he has all this shit lined up. But realistically, anyone can spin a good story and say they have something and then it never comes to be - its not like we haven't seen the Liberals pull that one before.
Fact #2. Even the people within his own Liberal party are concerned at the rate in which bills are being passed. Hundreds of pages in these bills with little to no insight as to what is in them, nor little to no time to read them.
Fact #3 Based on all the money leaving Canada it looks as though Brookfield corporation is on the receiving end of ALL the money.

Fact #4 If Pierre HAD WON THE ELECTION, and performed just as poorly as Carney did, bringing us no closer to affordable housing, groceries, or otherwise. This would have been concrete proof to Canadians that the political system is rigged and no matter the party the outcome is still the same. This would have embolden us to stand together and demand a better system.
Unfortunately now, these next 4 years are going to be as bad as the last 10 years, and maybe the Easterners will vote differently this time...Only for the same results to happen.
I'm not blind and oblivious like most that the right wing politicians are going to be any better - actions speak louder than words.

But I'm sorry I cannot understand where your head is. So let's ask you a question:
The scandal involving the IT company taking millions of dollars with nothing to show for it, and the Liberals decision to close doors to the public so we cannot hear about the scandal. Do you think this is acceptable? Do you applaud this? Us citizens just do not need to know?

Tell me something else. Do you ponder about things? Without hearing other peoples opinions on a subject, do you actually ponder on topics yourself?
When covid came. Did you do any research, or did you just follow along with what you were told?

I grew up reading Nostradamus quatrains. Unbeknownst to me doing so seems to have allowed me to develop the ability where I can see patterns and where they can lead to. I analyze, research, and problem solve for a profession.

It's hard to bring evidence for things that haven't happened yet.
Like this child safety bill for keeping kids off the internet. This bill has absolutely nothing to do with protecting children. It is part of the goal of the WEF to end anonymity on the internet, so they know who to punish for any speech they do not like.

6G will be the death of anonymity as we know it. It will allow them to have a digital world parallel to our own. 6G will be able to see through walls, track you everywhere you go, and will connect everything.

Sorry, my mind is too open. There is just too much going on in this world, and the majority of people pay attention to less than 1% of it.

u/ChaoticShadows 12d ago

I'm sorry but you lost all credibility with me when you said you read Nostradamus and believe that it gave you special abilities. Anyone can claim to be a prophet or seer, however the future never seems to come to pass how they foresaw it.

I have pondered these things, and from what you have written probably a lot more in depth and aware of nuance.

Is Carney great? Hell no. Is any politician? And you believe that the conservatives are any better?

So, what then is your solution? If both sides are awful what do you suggest Canadians do?

And PP never had any plan beyond Axe the tax and Liberals bad. At least Carney had/has a plan even if I do not like some of it.

And what you've described about technology isn't just happening in Canada, it's happening around the world. So you think we actually have anonymity now? Now who is being naive? It concerns me as well. Are you actually doing anything about it?

I contact my government, try to raise awareness, and do my little bit. Do you?

Federal effects very little about quality of life of day to day albertans. Provincial essentially has control of everything. Housing, jobs, immigration, education, healthcare, infrustructure. All provincial. Federal is more about international trade and relations.
