It's time to talk about the right wing NDP shaming I see in Alberta. The NDP government took power after 44 years of PC's, and had their work cut out for them. They took power in the middle of a major recession, and were stuck with decades of infrastructure and health shell games
The PC's played hide the debt extremely well. Defer costs here, avoid upgrades there, freeze spending in another place. Shift costs to contracts instead of employees to make it look like labour spending was lower than it was. It takes money to fix that sort of mismanagement.
After 4 years, the NDP government has spent the money they had to to fix what needed to be fixed. They've done so with fiscal restraint in mind.
Wherever inequality was found, they worked to make certain they leveled the playing field. Minimum wages saw a 50% bump. Extremely outdated labor laws were brought up to the same standards other provinces enjoy.
Don't let the UCP old boys club gaslight you. The NDP has worked for the people, not for the rich, and they'll continue to do so if we give them that chance. Don't let someone shame you about supporting the NDP, they deserve that support. #TeamNotley2019 #abpoli #ableg
