Immiserating people until they are willing to accept privatization is the plan in Alberta, and to a greater or lesser extent every other conservative run province. With their recent win, the UCP will certainly make that a reality in Alberta. I feel for my former neighbours, and I hope more people can see the light the next time around.

It's so sad how obvious it is, and yet people seem to fall for the rhetoric of private health care. The cons in Alberta have proven to be a complete failure time and again when it comes to running health care and education. If this were a business then share holders would have kicked them out long ago, and yet somehow they keep getting voted in.

The only glimmer of hope I have is how orange the cities are. Though I kind of agree with The Beaverton that the Alberta NDP is just a traditional conservative party.

Yup. Absolutely the same thing happening ontario. And people fall for it.
