I'm in Ontario where we helped a lying, dimwitted, former hash dealer, and one-time Trump admirer become premier because people foolishly thought, "Cons have to be better than the Libs, right?". And gifted him 3 elections. If the cavalry is riding-in, it's not coming from Ontario.

Ford used voter suppression masterfully. He has some of the evilest henchpeople in his backroom. Election in dead of February? 4 week campaign? Reporters who are the partners of his key staff? All that after passing legislation DEFUNDING opposition parties and restricting their fundraising.

And yet Ontario is still ahead of Alberta on the intelligence scale in politics. Gives you a sense of how low Alberta is.

Careful there. There is a slice of hardcore Christian Righties calling the shots in that party. NO ONE IN EDMONTON voted for her and almost half of Calgary didn't vote for her. We bring Calgary into the Edmonton fold and it's over for her

I live in the Edmonton area and we did not vote for the lowlife Danielle Smith. We despise her and her government. Everyone I talk to is horrified by what she is doing. Banning books is a Hitler/Trump move. How do we stop her? Especially those who didn't vote for her uneducated, hateful party.

Look into the local school board elections and municipal elections that help decide on school policies and age restrictions. To help vote against a bill brought up that you think is bogus. Email your local federal&provincial representatives about concerns call their offices they document all these

This is the key. And have conversations with those people on the right you can. You won't change minds immediately, but planting seeds may eventually bring them around.

Absolutely. Which is why criminals in power make sure to cut education, and fill the void with propaganda. They are true evil, and we must - MUST fight back. And insist on education, fairness, and above all: Truth. 🙏

We've got a different issue in Ontario - apathy. The vast majority of us stay home on election day for Premier. Choosing an actual Liberal to lead the party instead of Doug Ford in a red jacket might help, too... www.tvo.org/article/we-g...

Not to praise Ontario, which is a disappointment politically, but only to show how low Alberta can go.

Literally less than 25 percent of eligible voters voted for our big, Shiny Boy, and people keep just not showing up at the polls because they're like no way we could change this. It's pathetic.
