Gave up on twitter a while ago, finally found Bluesky (slow to the party).

Albertan, Work in the natural resources sector (O&G, Mining, Forestry). Politically engaged (not an auto-con) don’t believe everything I read on the internet!

Edmonton, AB
It’s a great play by the Carney government, no private company will step up in the face of weakening demand.

Absolutely worth looking into. We’ve seen staffers parachuted in with more loyalty than experience, often political operatives with little subject-matter knowledge. Transparency around hiring practices in the UCP is long overdue. A full audit of qualifications and appointments would be eye-opening.

I’m sure if you look back through the mists of time you will find the Fed NDP or its members have thrown their support behind dictatorships. I know, I know, I’m also grasping at straws.

Something else to consider, many AB NDP MLAs would not consider themselves Fed NDP’rs, despite the association

Correct, my die-hard con colleagues “all parties are the same, blah, blah, blah.”

I’m sure some on the right will try to turn this into a big deal, but in business it happens all the time.
