Alberta's UCP or It won't matter
Three out of the eight people contesting the UCP leadership refused to comment on the Roe vs Wade ruling handed down by the corrupted SCOTUS. Alberta's federal Conservatives were openly cheering the result in Alberta. The stain of right wing extremism is spreading through Canada's Conservative Party. A lying scheming Poilievre is encouraging the advance of religious extremism, it is his only hope. Canadians are not Americans, not by any stretch of the imagination. The extremist right wing congregations in Canada are the ones who set up the border blockades. But Canadians are not the dim bulbs so common in the Trump base, willfully ignorant and proudly stupid. The attempts to advance the extremism under the guise of "freedom" backfired completely. The only piece of feces that is still pushing that agenda is Canada's mini-Trump wannabe, Poilievre. That the extremism is part and parcel of many of Alberta's right wing political parties is well known. That Albertans have consistently rejected these extremists is less well known, but we have. The Wild Rose is a very unsuccessful political party despite the oil company money and support. The conservatives managed another term by absorbing that brand into the new UCP but that is over. The split between the extremists and the not so extreme is the new reality in Alberta.
And they are both on the way out, permanently, in the next election Women are equal citizens in Alberta despite the religious who contend they are just "vessels" for sperm. Poilievre's wife may really believe that she is just a vessel for his sperm. Poilievre really believes that our laws should reflect that he and wife both believe she is just a vessel. Poilievre is willing to put it to a vote and conservatives need to vote and be clear. That vote will not be made by a corrupt court created by corrupt politicians trying to enshrine corruption. Canadians have choices, Americans don't, we have a successful third national party, Americans don't. Canada's main political parties garner most of the votes and about two thirds of votes are left of center. The Conservative plan to become the "Republican Party North" hasn't worked and isn't likely to work. It will be no more successful than the Conservative plan to create a "Fox News North". The Conservatives actually planned on having bikini clad women delivering the fake news. Canada has an extremist, right-wing and paranoid People's Party, it is where Poilievre belongs. Poilievre's viewpoints deserve no prominence, Canadian women are not vessels for his sperm. Albertans are going to elect a government that focuses on the well being of Albertans, not on oil companies. We are going to keep getting vaccinated in Alberta. We acknowledge climate change is our greatest challenge.
