Except it doesnt, you’re just making shit up now.

Except nobody knows. You're making shit up, I'm talking about potential reality. You sound like a hair brained socialist trying to argue that socialism is good, it just hasn't been done properly yet. There is zero evidence that GSA's help in any way shape or form. However there has already been instances of risk caused by GSA's.

And besides any of this you're off down a rabbit hole to avoid the original post you made. Teens do not need any more protection from their parents than they do from their peers, and a GSA provides protection from neither.

Breaking News just announced in regards to the election,

Due to a very high number of expected voters, the province is asking that people who intend on voting for the UCP show up to the polls on Tuesday, April 16, and if you plan on voting for NDP or any other party to show up the following day, Wed April 17.

Hah. Didn't you try this during the municipal election as well?

UCP put a sign on my lawn after half-assly asked for permission yesterday. It only took half a day before my camera caught some random kid kicked it into the air lol. I think he's a GSA supporter.

Latest EKOS poll results are pretty scary if you’re wanting the NDP eliminated.

I'm not surprised. Alberta Provincial conservative politicians are some of the dumbest politicians you can find.

There's a big difference between popular opinion/voting intention and seat projects even withing the same polls. Have a look.
Voting intention (NDP around 30-35%):

Seat Projection (NDP around 4/29 = ~14%)


That Pollcast website hasn't been updated for a while, so it's possible that widespread public opinion has shifted more orange since it's last update. Not sure if they use those EKOS polls in their projections normally or not. Personally I wouldn't be at all surprised if the popular opinion has shifted slightly away from Jason Kenny's team.

While 2015 was a protest vote, there are still a lot of (millenial?) voters that don't understand economics, the ideal role of government and other critical issues. The NDP has a base with those people.

Or maybe they just don't want a slimeball like Kenney in power? I'm willing to bet there would be far more blue if Brian Jean were still at the helm. Would be a much bigger landslide anyways.

ah yes, the always critical "slimeball" issue.

Unemployment, capital flows, economic viability, fiscal policy.... "slimeball". Can't forget that.

Don't blame me, it's how people vote. Fuck it's how most people interact with each other every single day. A good face on a bad policy will win over a bad face on a good policy.

[ExtraSlow]

Lots of people who are well informed vote primarily on social issues. That's not a big, that's a feature.

Find me a political conversation on beyond that doesn't have left/right posters slinging mud at Trudeau, Sheer, Kenny, etc. Just one.

Fair enough. But those points are the least interesting in the discussion.

Kenney is a slimeball.

Giving the big wigs a tax break, while killing overtime for workers..

It's still a little dumb though.

The platform would actually allow banked hours to be paid at regular instead of time-and-a-half pay

So if I take a payout on my overtime immediately, I get time and a half, if I bank it, then decide a month from now I want the cash, I only get "time".

Who is this hurting or benefitting enough to put in their platform?
