Born and raised Albertan here. (A Thread)

I lived my entire life in a 1-party state; the #Conservative one.

My whole life, the same cries: "We're just not being represented! No one listens in Ottawa"
Can we talk about the real problem?
It’s not #Trudeau. Not this time.
Let’s ignore #Trudeau completely, this is bigger than him.

I want YOU to do a gut check.

I mean it.

Take a good, very looong look at the #CPC.
When we had to do 'belt tightening' due to the global recession, no life lines were laid down 'just in case'.
It wasn’t even considered.
We struggled under @stephenharper. It wasn’t easy.
Where was the fiscal prudency, or the governance foresight to ensure we didn’t fail? what if, and when the Alberta economy faltered? What plans were made?

It’s not like it’s a mystery. The price of oil fluctuates. Wildly even. We ALL KNOW THIS.
It’s a joke in Alberta how much the prices move when we’re producing it only blocks from the pumps.
Do you remember the past 20 years? It wasn’t the 'golden years' but it certainly wasn’t the silver pocket lining either.
It was a lot of work for little gain.

And that was WITH a #conservative federal and provincial government.
Want to be taken seriously in Ottawa? Try bucking the trend.
Try making the #Conservatives actually work for YOU.
Try holding them ACCOUNTABLE.
Break the mold that has kept you in place FOR SO LONG.
Try casting a ballot for another party. Any party.
And hear me out here: STOP SENDING THE CPC TO OTTAWA.
You're not getting represented because you don’t NEED TO BE.
You literally don’t matter.
In fact, the #conservatives could run a Rubber Boot in #Alberta or #Saskatchewan and it would have 10k more votes - and be just as effective as the #CPC has been to date.

It'll probably cost less to have a boot in office though.
Besides, always voting for 1 party, really, it may as well be called #Communism and the last I checked that just isn’t a conservative value.
Want real change in Alberta?
Want real representation for the West?
Want real results for your Economy?

Try changing yourself.
Try changing your vote.
Doing the same thing isn't working anymore.
