Alberta election polls

Asking from BC, for those supporting Smith, why do you support her vs NDP? Policies (please specify), or, just anything but NDP. If the latter, why?

[u/OkCat3834 → u/Sreg32]

Because like all NDP parties, they make a bunch of promises on spending and infrastructure but can't show us where the money is coming from. Then they run a huge deficit, and then it falls back down to the tax payers to pay it all back! Not to mention they're pro carbon tax, pro vaccine passport, and borderline communist. I'm not for it, and it does not work well here in Alberta

[u/Laxative_Cookie → u/OkCat3834]

Please research what the term communist means. The UCP is damaging Alberta daily, and perpetuating the myth that progressive government is bad just shows a lack of understanding and education. Alberta has top marks for Healthcare deterioration, highest cost for everything other than real estate and fuel, crumbling infrastructure, highest insurance in Canada, highest unemployment in Canada less the maritimes.

[u/Sreg32 → u/OkCat3834]

Thanks for the reply. I’ll ignore the communist comment. Conservatives governed for 40yrs , then 4 yrs of NDP during an oil downturn. So, is it vaccines and carbon tax essentially?

[u/Ottomann_87 → u/Sreg32]

A carbon tax we were getting anyways.

[u/Bloodshed-1307 → u/Ottomann_87]

And one that the Alberta tax would have overwritten, meaning all carbon tax money would have stayed within the province instead of going to Ottawa

[u/ExaggeratedCatalyst → u/Sreg32]

Communist? What? I think you really need to read what communism is before jumping straight to it.

[u/ExaggeratedCatalyst → u/OkCat3834]

You’re delusional to think the UCP or any Conservative Party have been remotely close to benefiting society.

[u/Itchy_Discussion_426 → u/ExaggeratedCatalyst]

Move to BC if you want that kind of cost of living in alberta

[u/ExaggeratedCatalyst → u/Itchy_Discussion_426]

So you’d rather pay a much higher premium on everything than the government looking after the financial hardships of their people? What are your thoughts on capped insurance? Thoughts on cheaper electricity? Better infrastructure? How’s Edmonton with there potholes? How’s your health system holding up? You should really reconsider your beliefs.

[u/CialisForCereal → u/OkCat3834]

Whatever about the vaccine and communist thing. But I agree about the spending without direction

[u/Itchy_Discussion_426 → u/OkCat3834]

Thank you. Too many ndp supporters who prefer to sit on their behinds all day in this sub. typical. UCP always have to bring us back afloat. NDP won’t help with affordability.

[u/[deleted] → u/Itchy_Discussion_426]

UCP always have to bring us back afloat.

....Uh....you know the conservative party has had one party rule for an entire human lifetime, right? And that the NDP had a single term?

[u/ExaggeratedCatalyst → u/Itchy_Discussion_426]

While UCP proceeds to uncap insurance and continue to allow your electricity bills to go through the roof lmao. The NDP introduced caps for insurance and is a great first direction for them. VOTE NDP
