The death knell for public health care in Canada. Having grown up in Alberta, the public system saved lives in my immediate family. Maybe even mine.
Watch albertans maintain their diehard majority support for the UCP.
That "diehard majority" was a few thousand votes in the most recent election. The one before that, they actually weren't the majority - Alberta had an NDP government.
Insisting that Alberta is eternally UCP will only help make it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
they are busy gerrymandering the new district borders so that they won't need the majority vote to stay in government.
Gerrymandering can push the needle but it can't hold back the tide. It can actually backfire if the projections that the gerrymanderers were working with turn out to be inaccurate, since it's specifically "betting" on a particular arrangement of votes.
It's also not happening yet. The party voted for it and is now trying to gerrymander for sure, but the courts do not favour the UCP on this matter saying if challenged it'd be likely the UCP loses marking it unconstitutional. Especially with the separatist PsyOP going on I don't get the impression the currently employed judges like UCP very much given their comments lately.

How many non PC/UCP governments has Alberta elected since 1965?
One.
Pretty specific cutoff date there. Look at the full history of elections in Alberta, there was a run of PC governments in that specific window that you've conveniently specified but before that the political landscape was completely different. And in recent history too, it's unstable.
But if you want to write the province off and permanently leave it to conservatives, that's a choice I guess.
The last federal election was about the threat to Canadian sovereignty. 92% of Alberta seats went PC.
Not if I can fucking help it.
And very little to no protesting. Nobody fucking cares.
This is why Alberta is a drive by province.
I know I'd GTFO if I ever lost the career I have here. Sure as shit won't retire here.
Manitoba and BC are good places to retire!
Manitoba is where the majority of extended family lives so that's where I'd go I figure. Wab Kinew won't be leader in 29 years from now but hopefully NDP still is :p
