Things to remember about UCP as we head towards what (I hope) will be their last full year in power:
1. They lie about everything, all the time. Big and small, Crucial and inconsequential, blatant or sneaky, overt or by omission. Lies, lies, lies. 1/8
1. They lie about everything, all the time. Big and small, Crucial and inconsequential, blatant or sneaky, overt or by omission. Lies, lies, lies. 1/8
2. None of them are here for you or me. They want us to vote for them and donate money to them, but they don’t care about us. At all. Any performance of care or concern is to avoid losing votes or money. They only care about their rich donors and themselves. 2/8
3. There are no ‘good ones’. There are some who are less egregiously horrible, maybe, but every one of them kept silent and did nothing as the 4th wave took off. Every one of them reads the papers Kenney hands them in the legislature and retweets their lies & bragging. 3/8
4. They have disdain for Albertans. The entire tone of their responses to constituents (when they can be bothered) or to opposition MLAs, who ask questions in their duty to represent other Albertans, is rife with contempt and arrogance. 4/8
5. They act smugly superior. Their words and actions suggest that they consider poverty, misfortune, disability, or providing public service to be character flaws, and that only they and other wealthy, privileged Albertans ‘deserve’ a certain quality of life. 5/8
6. They are hypocrites. They take credit for oil prices going up while still blaming NDP for what happened when prices declined. They criticized the curriculum the PCs & NDP were completing as ‘secretive & ideological’. Their curriculum is the definition of both. 6/8
7. The #ableg is being run like a frat house. Actually that’s an insult to frat houses. The juvenile trolling online, their ridiculous videos, inane slogans like ‘Alberta has its swagger back’, drinking and party boy shenanigans are cringe-worthy embarrassments to Alberta. 7/8
No matter what they do or say going forward, none of these things are going to change. A new leader won’t fix it. An improved economy (by good fortune, not due to their actions) won’t fix it. This government dysfunctional and inept. Don’t forget. 8/8
Like this, for example. 👇 The small town where I grew up had one ALCB store and it seemed to be enough. I think there are 5 liquor stores there now for the same population. One is in what used to be a very nice, locally-owned bakery. Bread & circuses.
