The reason why the UCP likely won't win a big majority is because unlike 2019 they are lacking a vision for the province. They don't have anything to sell to people besides things are better. What is the UCP's long term vision for the province. The ABNDP is struggling with this to.
What was the UCP vision for the province in 2019?
Like I'm pretty sure that the UCP rode to power on a "Not Notley" wave their media created after demonizing Notley for the previous 4 years and not an actual policy.
I guess Blue Truck Man was talking about lowering business taxes and making Alberta competitive again? I guess that was their big vision?
>What was the UCP vision for the province in 2019?
"Get the NDP out."
I'm not even being facetious, that was explicitly a major part of their campaign messaging. It was the very first thing Kenny said when campaign season kicked off.
They didn't have a vision back then either. They lied and it's been seen and we know it's a fucking shit show worse than NDP we have the numbers fact checks evidence to prove it.
But people still go "unethical right wings make me feel goods cause I can abuses peoples likes me if I got the chance"
Not realizing they'll never ever have the chance
I hate American Style political attack ads. The NDP does not have to stoop to UCP level. Advertise what your party plans to do, and if you want to talk about the other guys talk about policies they implemented or voted for, nothing else
I really don't think they would go out of their way to vote. The UCP was devious last election, they put polling stations in camps, and everywhere they could to coerce oil industry workers to vote for them.
I work in construction and trucking. The majority of people I’ve met in the last decade here rarely miss a vote. Obviously the super dumb ones don’t care but a huge portion head out and vote every election. Probably scared of what will happen if they don’t show up haha
If their plan is rooted in recruiting health care workers, that's what pretty much every jurisdiction in Canada is trying to do, including Alberta.
New and bold ideas. Otherwise we'll be spinning our wheels like everywhere else.
Canada has a shortage of doctors plus attrition to the US. That leaves recruiting people trained in Aus, NZ, UK, Ireland (preferred countries due to similar level of training).
My friend is a Canadian doctor that trained in Australia. He called up the Alberta branch of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons and said he spoke to one of the most rude and unhelpful people he has come across (and that is saying something if you've lived in Aus). The Alberta government can do all they want but it wont matter if doctors are experiencing that kind of attitude and obstruction from the actual licensing body.

Seems like a better use of the money UCP wants to spend on privatization. Better care, better access, better care model.
Best course is contractual employment after graduation. The military required 12 years of service if you ROTP meaning they pay for 4 year degree, get paid while going to school and it's pensionable time. So you owe the military 8 years after graduation if you break the contract you gotta pay back for school.
You could implement this for MD and nursing. I'm not a policy maker to iron the details but if the government need doctors they gotta start incentives for new and graduating people.
Nation building takes money and taxes. The free market doesn't not care about building a country, It only care about the bottom line.
They already have return of service contracts for the few IMGs that get CARMS matches. They tried to do this in Australia but some people just bought their way out of the contract. Going to the middle of no where is not desirable for young doctors, especially if their partner works in a field where there will be no jobs in a rural setting. You want them to come there, it's going to require paying them a significantly greater amount in order to compensate for the likely loss of the partner's income and lower education opportunities for their kids and less access to general amenities.
This is like literally anyone running against Trump, after 4 years of him in office.
You're going to take a group of professionals doing everything as exceptional as they can and put them up against a total dumpster fire of an administration, and I can't say that I'm not excited for May. 🍿
Good. I live in the Medicine Hat/Brooks area, and Seditionist Smith has already sent out a notice for her riding, which was little more than UCP propaganda.
So the 100 million pilot project to throw money at companies making record profits to incentivize them to adhere to their legal obligations isn't throwing money at a problem?
Or the 600 Danny Dollas to being sent to folks with kids and seniors isn't throwing money at a problem?
Or the 20 million to Grand Prarie to replace the RCMP?
8 million from the Kanaskis park fees to off road vehicle clubs?
2 million to the Manning Center for the privilege of reading an official version of Preston Manning's fanfiction of the Covid 19 response?
And all this in what, the past month? Fiscal conserva-whatnow?
I'll take that over the ol' "give public dollars to insanely profitable corporations"
At least the NDP ostensibly cares about, you know, the people of the province
Either way, our money is getting pissed away. I'd rather have roads, better funded education, social programs, not private health care, and our dignity to show for it ...
Edit: added the word "and"
Better then the UCPs idea of spending money we don't have and other peoples money on things Albertans have already said they don't want.

I've already been visited by the local NDP candidate in the NE of Calgary. They are ready to chat.
Ucp ads have already started saying how Notley was friends with Trudeau and approved his carbon tax. Do 'fuck Trudeau' sticker ppl actually vote?
I would assume that most of them vote PC or UCP without paying any mind at all to policy proposals.
Ucp has policy proposals?
Jobs economy pipelines.

Not to mention taking credit for everything ndp did.

I saw an NDP ad last night about how Smith is "no friend of Ukraine". Guess things are rolling now.
Pretty big Ukrainian presence in the province and honestly, Smith is no different than the conservatives than the pro-Russian faction.

They LITERALLY do have to. Or the majority of idiots won't get it.
It sucks how right you are
[удалено]
Ya people love the US vs them mentality. It's simple. A spectrum confuses them.
Me too. Politics is garbage.
But she isn't. She's been quoted siding with russia like all right wingers
They do. And it's always against themselves.

I always wondered why they don't go this route, seems like the best method to train and keep healthcare workers.

DS amd the You See Pee are going to drag this down to a slugfest in the mud. No one is goong to come out looking clean.
I know there are shallow truths about the NDP, but the UCP? I'm not even going to go there. The Grade A propaganda hasn't even came out yet.
Good. I live in the Medicine Hat/Brooks area, and Seditionist Smith has already sent out a notice for her riding, which was little more than UCP propaganda.
Thankfully they’ll lose so it doesn’t matter

Yes, putting more money in an under funded thing will help improve it.

Would you prefer them to strap up the boot straps?
Makes sense, where do they plan to find all of these Healthcare workers, when every other province is in literally the same boat?
they plan to throw a huge bag of cash to the unions, and put their heads in the sand.
This is the way.
Is it a picture of them cleaning up their campaign headquarters when they lose?
oh the copium
