Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

That is great news.
Was there ever any doubt? Maybe in the minds of the MSM walking dead.
Effin eh!
I do hope this was with paper ballots.
At least for appearances sake, perhaps Mr. Nenshi will partake in similar after his NDP party of AB loses badly in the next AB general election.
Good. It’s time for the political incels like ‘take back Alberta’ and ‘1905’ to STFU.
Conservatives like to argue. They always want to put a fine point on the topic. The Take back Alberta group wants to beat you over the head with their bibles.
Another one?
What’s with the religious bigots on this forum. First GYM, and now this.
Let’s get one thing straight. Not a damn Christian anywhere wants to “beat you over the head with their bibles.”
Like anyone else, Christians have a lifestyle. Our guide to the way we live happens to be the Bible, but I don’t know of any Christian that will impose the bible on anyone. Yes, we profess the faith. Yes, we encourage non-Christians to convert, but WE DON’T F0RCE OUR RELIGION on anyone. We respect free will. That is an important tenet in our faith.
The Take back Alberta group wants to beat you over the head with their bibles.
Funny, that. I’m not religious, yet I’m an active supporter of & participant in TBA. Along with many others.
The question I have for you, abtrapper, is what have you done to ensure that the gov’t listens to the people, instead of the other way around?
Agreed, and I too am a supporter of TBA. One quick look back at the 3 so-called conservative leaders that preceded Smith would tell you that TBA is a necessary response to ensuring the party and its leaders don’t wander off, pandering to ridiculous or rights-threatening tangents.
And so what if TBA has a Christian basis to it – it’s what ultimately underpins foundational principles like parental rights and common law. How has it been working out so far abandoning those principles and replacing God with state? I’ll take the kind of practical accountability and influence TBA has exercised, and I do so without even considering the religious aspects.
Good agm. Smith articulated her government’s position and policy achievements well.
35 new policies passed by members that ought to push smith toward the right more consistently.
Morning news headlines: Nearly one in ten party members unhappy with Smith’s leadership.
Color me one of those 10%. With a budget 20% higher than anything Red Rachel ever spent, with no movement to address the actual problems within healthcare & education (both are middle & upper management heavy), with no action to actually stop this Globull Warmening horseshit (I could go on), there is much to be unhappy about with Smith.
You have named yourself properly. You can’t turn a ship on a dime.
Maybe not a dime but Can you turn a ship on $73.3 billion?
Thank you for the insult, Fart.
When [spit] Progs get into power, change is visible & immediate. However, when the “right” takes power back, it takes decades to see results, if any. Curious, that. I guess when you have no desire to change the heading, it’s damn the torpedoes & full speed ahead. Right into the iceberg. Whaddya s’pose that dark shadow looming ahead is?
A friend & I had this very conversation a few weeks back. What it boils down to is the best way to remove a band-aid: rip it off or take your time & feel each hair get pulled out.
Me, I’d take care of the tough policy decisions immediately (sans wasting time striking subcommittees to identify the issues, they are apparent & so are the solutions), with successive actions easier to take. Measure the results for the next year or so & spend the last year of the mandate campaigning on the success of my earlier work.
It’s as difficult as you make it.
Well, with a 91% approval rating from party members, Smith has a solid mandate. She can now implement more conservative policies which will drive down budgets. She can start with cutting a 100 thousand government jobs added by Notley.
It looks like the social engineers (who are never held accountable for any deleterious results from their ‘successes’) may have taken a bit of a hit tonight.
Now, a nonbiased study, if possible, needs to compare Alberta youth suicide rates to another ‘more Woke’ jurisdiction’s youth suicide rates over the next few years.
Excellent news! I wish I could live there in Alberta, with a sensible premier, but they have awful weather. I am steeped in NDP hand-out voters next door or in my neighbourhood. It is hard to feel good about having Eby in power again, as he has a lot of bad legislation in the queue.
BC=bring cash, but the weather and mountain views are fine and worth it.
Alberta has changed drastically from the good old days. The Social Credit Party formed government in 1935 and stayed until 1971 when they were replaced by the Progressive Conservatives under Peter Lougheed.. Ernest Manning was Premier for 25 consecutive years! The PCs held sway until 2015 when the ndp defeated them. Since then millions of people have moved here bringing their secular politics with them.
Alberta retail politics is not what it was and it’s not going back to what it was. The ndp have a solid 40% of the voting base. They come within a whisker of winning every time out. One slip up next time and you’ll have the purple jesus to contend with. The ndp could care less about faith based politics.
TBA is out of step with retail politics in the Province. They want to go back to the Manning days. Their efforts will harm what is left of conservative politics, split the conservative vote and have the socialist hoard come up the middle.
People should believe in what they want, but how do those beliefs square with retail politics? How will your beliefs translate at the polls? Take a look at the US election. See a Christian there? Certainly not Harris and Trump? He’s never seen the inside of a church or the inside of a bible for that matter. His retail bible sales notwithstanding. Trump is and has been a NY liberal all his life. Not a conservative bone in his body.
Have at it.
