Life expectancy, socio-economic mobility, rates of poverty or hunger they have to ignore just about every other metric that one could use to measure peoples quality of life to come to this conclusion.

It solves the issue of people who own companies in the field of healthcare being connected to members of the UCP, so when they privatize these services, it's those same members who benefit. This is the kind of policy that really pairs well with legalizing gifts to MLA's from private corporations. link

These folks want to make more money, and they have the influence they need to make that money. In 2025, I can't help but wonder why any company would ever invest in trying to build a good sustainable business when lobbying a corrupt government is a sure thing. Why would anyone with the capital ever risk losing that capital when they don't have to?

Nothing new here, Alberta is currently under a kleptocracy. So they'll be repeating this same process with private surgeries. The UCP learned one lesson, their base will allow it, so they might as well do it again.

It was only a complete disaster for the taxpayers, for the UCP and their connected cronies, they all got lots of money. That's who this was for, so it won't be any surprise when they keep repeating this mistake while ignoring every available statistic that measures the success of these kind of policies.

Always felt it very disturbing that the Alberta Bill of Rights makes more sense under American law than Canadian law. I know it's more an instance of Alberta conservatives unable to distinguish the two countries legal/political systems due to their reliance on American propaganda to support their positions, but the optics are bad.

I thought there was a source for it, but think I am mistaken, so I deleted just in case.

Pretty sad the folks going around claiming to be champions of common sense don't even understand a extremely basic concept like "the dose makes the poison".

Well funded backers have created a social media campaign that's impossible to ignore on sites like Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, Youtube, and Canada's largest traditional media company being bought out by Chatham Asset Management, which set the editorial mandate for every paper under it's banner to support the party.

Plus, he's playing by a different set of rules. His supporters won't punish him for wasting taxpayer money with these by-elections, and the CPC can afford to just run election campaign after election campaign.

End of the day, there is a lot of money going into making sure CPC talking points sound like their speaking truth to power, the fact it's the powerful funding this campaign seems lost on many. But as long as they have people looking left or right, they're not looking up, and thats what really matters.

Could be worse, but it's a gamble. The big companies are just set up to get the rug pulled out from under them by creative young programmers who have a better understanding of this technology. Let's be real though, I feel like this policy is designed for marketing the LPC to young less crazy conservatives. Instead of the CPC being pulled back into our shared reality, they've pulled the LPC into the griftosphere.
