#VOTE ALBERTA

[beewitch4]

He's from Alberta!

He's never seen the ocean, Alberta is land locked

His first language is English, and while people do speak English in large Quebec cities, their FIRST language is normally French

Alberta has mountains for snowboarding he could drive to if he lived in Calgary

He has an old school uniform, meaning he likely went to Catholic school (he also crosses himself), Alberta has a large Catholic population

if I’m honest I’m kind of baffled that there’s anti-voting content going around. again. you cannot have forgotten so quickly how bad trump was and how hard the republicans tried to prevent you from voting. did you forget the russian bots??

Albertans will be hitting the polls on Monday to decide which party will form the provincial government for the next four years.

Candidates spent the last few weeks campaigning for your vote. With just two days left to earn votes, here is a last-minute voter guide for those who are still undecided.

The United Conservative Party, led by Danielle Smith, and the Alberta NDP, led by Rachel Notley, made key promises to improve health care, affordability and public safety in different ways.

Here’s a breakdown of what each party is promising Albertans:

I don’t usually get too political on this blog, but…

If you’re from Alberta, for the love of all that is good in humanity, please go and VOTE.

Danielle Smith wants to privatize healthcare, remove funding from programs that actively help people, blames late stage cancer diagnosis patients for not noticing their condition sooner, among numerous other terrible things. And true to the usual UCP bull, she cares more about money and oil and trades more than the actual people of the province.

She is a huge admirer of Ron DeSantis and thinks he’s doing a great job, which I’m sure anyone from the US and especially Florida can tell you is NOT a good thing!!

Please… if you want a premier that at least cares about people and not just money, vote NDP.

Rachel Notley is far from perfect, but she is a hell of a lot better than the alternative. She at least actually cares about people, and cares about the marginalized in our society. She may not balance the budget, but she will fund education, healthcare and other important things, rather than funnelling everything into a dying economy and ignoring the citizens struggling.

If you don’t want hate and cold disregard to rule our province for the next 4 years, vote NDP. Liberal, Green and any other party don’t stand a chance. This is UCP vs NDP, period.

Vote orange if you care about the people around you.

Thanks for listening. Let’s all cross our fingers that tonight’s vote isn’t the start of rights being taken away. 🤞🏻🤞🏻

I have accepted for a while that the UCP are going to win the election, despite it representing our decent into right wing madness, but I **NEED** my district to switch to ANDP because I cannot stand seeing Tyler Shandro's tiny smug face in government.

It's DOT DAY, Alberta! Remember to put ORANGE DOTS on things you love, and BLUE DOTS on things you want to see go away forever!

[vuutarros]

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

I can't go to sleep until I know the results of the election, but as long as I don't look at the results, I won't see that the UCP has fucking won again.

As of a few minutes ago, the UCP had won 43 of the 44 needed for majority, and were leading in 8 others.

I hate this province so much. I saw this coming, but hoped I was just being pessimistic, and reading the province in that light. I fucking hate being proved right, nothing good ever seems to come of that happening.

[endtimers]

jesus goddamn christ i Cannot Wait for my province to re-elect this fucking hag of a premier who wants to replicate The Kinds Of Freedom In Desantis' Florida :):):):)

[cosmereclysmic]

Listen I 100% agree with the whole "Brando Sando writes about how the world would be better if we just had One Good Person in Power and Everything Will Be Fixed and it's unrealistic" but my fucking god I wish we had One Good Person in Power and Everything Will Be Fixed. but I also know that's the devil talking. So.

[batmanshole]

not including the teritories due to poll limit. also if you could rb with your decision and if youre canadian or not that would be great

[laurelwinchester]

sorry i've been mia over the past few days. my entire province is on fire and i'm pretty sure the unhinged and disgusting premier tried to kill us all yesterday by refusing to do anything to help until after her fucking campaign party was over.

[allbeendonebefore]
