Laugh all you want Mr. Gibbs.

Some of us don’t find it very funny what the Fed NDP and GPC did to the last election. They robbed Alberta & western progressives from federal representation by splitting the vote with their rhetoric about superior morals.
Maybe examining your rhetoric for its accuracy and stepping off the pedestal you’ve elected yourself to preside over the rest of us progressives might provide some clarity.

Get your head out of the clouds.

Albertan progressives have dealt with far right miscreants for 85 years. This is where they gather because of the oil wealth.

Maybe your political observations aren’t as astute as you like to give yourself credit.
Maybe your support for Fed NDP isn’t so wise since they stole the west’s voice. Was that by design, so conflicting narratives about climate change weren’t messing with eastern Canadian narratives? Or just an unhappy byproduct of disinformation campaigns?
We tend to see things a little more realistically out west when it comes to climate change and western Canadian progressive ideals. We prefer to have our own voice. But your party’s strategy removed that voice.

I am not thankful or happy for that outcome.
Rachel Notley, a long-standing Alberta NDP political leader, descending from another long standing NDP political leader, Grant Notley, went on national television to request Singh not exacerbate the climate debate. Yet here you are putting your two cents worth forward.
Are you forgetting the NDP owe their existence to and are a direct result of western Canadian alienation. The parent political party, CCF, being a direct response to being left out in the cold to fend for ourselves during The Great Depression?
Alberta put socialism and human rights concerns on the map in Canada.

You’d think eastern Canada could be a little more grateful for Albertan progressives who made it possible for human rights to exist.
Your arrogance is appalling. Your party robbed us of our voice and then condemns us to rejection because of the conservative electoral wins your party engineered.

And your response is to laugh.

I believe my point is made.
The Fed NDP don’t want NDP Representation in AB. They want compliant ideologues who don’t vary from the ideology and narrative or dare to address the economic realities that Cons have put us in for decades.
You’re one of the compliant NDP supporters. Dutifully condescending to Albertans, 2/3 of which neither deserve nor asked for this lot in politics.

What better narrative could CPC and Alberta cons ask for but an east/west polarity over climate change? I struggle to think of one.
You’re being played like a fiddle and it’s exacerbating the east west divide.

Maybe, just maybe, you could stop amplifying rhetoric and have the decency to listen to western progressives who are not singing the same song given to them by NDP leadership.
I’m not in control of that. You are. Just know, your condescension is not appreciated and not unnoticed.

For someone who worked in the political sphere, you sure haven’t a clue how politics actually works.
If you think NDP are working for your human rights and climate change action at the moment, you’re sadly mistaken. They’re working for official opposition in the next election. To a CPC majority.

They are campaigning. Because they’re broke.
