Conservatives get many working and middle class people to vote against their own economic interests by using emotional propaganda. Anger and fear shut down logic, and slogans replace policy. People vote based on feelings, then defend those choices even when the policies hurt them

Private builders slow down when profits dip, so the market alone cannot fix housing. Wab Kinew’s gov steps in where the private sector fails, using tax credits, public builds and nonprofit housing to keep supply growing. Manitoba is getting affordable homes built while others stall

Canada tried Poilievre’s “get government out of the way” model in the 1990s when fed and prov gov's stopped building social and co-op housing. Builds collapsed, rents exploded, homelessness soared and speculators took over. The math is clear: when government stops building, Canadians get priced out

Smith killed renewables to protect fossil fuel profits. The UCP freeze wiped out cheap wind and solar, driving up power bills and shielding gas plants from competition. Alberta lost billions in investment so their fossil fuel friends could keep cashing in

Jason Kenney killed a forty four year coal ban in the middle of COVID and Danielle Smith quietly revived it after the election even though most Albertans oppose new mines. Their job claims are false, selenium risks are real and it looks like the UCP sold out Alberta to wealthy coal interests

UCP’s tax cuts were sold as job creators but the facts show the opposite. By 2022 Alberta handed oil giants 4.3 billion n they cut more than three thousand jobs, raised executive pay and boosted dividends. Corporations got richer while workers paid the price

Job Creation or Job Loss?: Big Companies Use Tax Cut to Automate Away Jobs in the Oil Sands
The biggest oil sands companies received $4.3 billion in tax cuts from the UCP’s “Job Creation Tax Cut.” Then they eliminated thousands of employees from their payrolls.

Admiral Alvin Holsey retires after reportedly facing pressure for questioning the legal basis of Caribbean strikes. A trailblazing four star officer, he chose principle over position by standing for lawful command and constitutional duty. His decades of service and integrity deserve our gratitude

Conservatives get many working and middle class people to vote against their own economic interests by making them feel instead of think. When people are angry or scared, they stop asking questions. Slogans replace real policies, emotions replace facts, and voters defend choices that hurt them

Capitalism has been broken and corrupted by right-wing economic policies that reward those who exploit and extract the wealth created by the working class
Garbage collectors create real value by keeping cities clean, safe, and livable. Wall Street speculators mostly shuffle money without producing anything we need. Yet the ones adding real value earn very little, and the ones moving paper around get rewarded the most

Norway used left wing economics to tax oil properly, keep public ownership, and save for its people, building a two trillion dollar fund. Alberta took a right wing path, kept royalties low, let corporations take most profits, and saved almost nothing for its citizens

Norway and Alberta had the same oil opportunity. Norway taxed profits properly, kept public ownership, and saved the money, building a $2T fund. Alberta extracted more oil but saved almost nothing because governments kept royalties low and spent it. Equalization wasn’t the barrier our choices were

One admiral refused an order he believed was illegal and resigned after 40 years. Another carried it out, insisting it was fine, and is now under investigation for doing exactly that illegal act. Now the first is called back to testify as the fallout rolls downhill onto everyone in the chain.

Fraser Institute data shows Alberta fell from third to last in per-student funding, with real cuts of 15 percent while other provinces boosted support. The UCP froze spending, let costs soar, and pushed education into crisis. Smith keeps claiming she funds schools, but the numbers expose the lie

Smith is handing coal firms $238 million on just $61 million of actual spending because the UCP caved to heavy lobbying from foreign-owned coal companies and their investors. Instead of defending taxpayers, they folded and paid out huge settlements while giving nothing to teachers

Public auto insurance saves drivers up to $2,000 in SK and MB and $1,500 in BC, while Alberta’s private system is the most expensive in Canada. Public or regulated power keeps prices low elsewhere, but deregulated Alberta pays the highest electricity rates. Right wing Policies only help big business

Tanya Fir exposed what the UCP really thinks of teachers and critics. On a leaked voicemail she mocked a respectful constituent and called the next callers “motherf***ers.” This is the same MLA who chose a known bigot as her campaign chair. Shows UCP’s hostility toward anyone who challenges them

The UCP handed a private firm tied to Marshall Smith $30 million in public money while claiming they must cut healthcare. This for-profit outfit runs multiple taxpayer-funded programs with zero transparency. It looks less like recovery policy and more like rewarding political insiders

The auditor general says the UCP blew more than $100 million on a reckless lab privatization scheme, hid records, blocked evidence, and even destroyed documents. This was ideology over facts and taxpayers paid the price. Alberta deserves accountability, not coverups

Mike Ellis calls investigations when they help him politically but stays silent on claims of corruption, inflated AHS contracts and wrongful dismissal that may reach the Premier’s office. Albertans deserve answers. Did this pattern of looking the other way extend to his time as a police officer too?

Right wingers swear that taxing the ultra rich or cracking down on speculation will make the wealthy flee and tank the economy. Yet again, reality proves them wrong. Trickle down economics is just taking from workers to protect the wealthy, and the facts keep exposing it

Conservatives avoid real policy debate because their ideas collapse under evidence. So they rely on lies, straw men, loaded statements, half truths and constant anger to keep supporters loyal. When a party depends on emotion instead of facts, it stops being a political movement and becomes a cult
