So then we found another speech therapist.
Yippee.
Oh yeah, they told Nexen to fuck off. So there's that.
brought in a carbon tax to buy "social license."
That poll is misleading. But I won't be surprised if increased number people pick NDP to do health workers a solid.Quote:

Did a substantial number of the religious conservatives die of covid? Hopefully, so we can remove that portion of the fringe.
Would Peter Lougheed policies be too left for Conservatives today?Quote:

This is when a "voting intention" poll would actually be a reasonable indicator of public sentiment.
Didn't even need to be collaborative. Simply spending the money made available by the federal government for Covid spending (while whining about not getting enough money from the federal government in transfer payments) would have been better, yes. Could have done it while still bashing them.Quote:

You were paying for a private speech pathologist and they took their certification away?Quote:

Their handling of the pipeline file was very weak in my opinion, particularly when they were willing to do so many things to appease the Feds (which they still did, without obtaining anything in return).
To be clear, I don't think Stelmach or Redford did a great job either - but at least they didn't pile on as much debt or grow spending unsustainably without much in the way of positive ROI.
I don't think it's anything other than a sentiment indicator. It's doubtful JK will even be leading the UCP into the next election so it's quite obvious this isn't actually predicting the next government - but certainly reflects that the UCP have allowed the NDP to be strong competition compared to any other period (I still view 2015 as nothing but Albertan's biting off its nose to spite its face).Quote:

Rookie mistake from JK
The problem for JK was that a big portion of his base are morons that couldn't strategic vote their way out of a wet paper bag. Think rural yokels. These people weren't and aren't willing to support good covid policies.Quote:

Why stop at Sr.?
Also the ndp is a travesty for AB. It's mind boggling that people support jagmeet for PM
Oh Jr. did the same thing. I'm shocked CERB stopped. Probably be back though in a couple of months.
If we get an NDP Premier AND an NDP Prime Minister, then we'd finally have enough social license to expand oil production and build export pipelines, right?
