Maybe you're disappointed to see the NDP actually FORM A GOVERNMENT in Alberta, but I'm quite pleased that it happened. I think that things like championing a socially progressive agenda, and emissions reductions, and renewable resources, are worth doing. And continuing to export oil to people who need it and will buy it from somewhere else anyway is a reality that anybody who wants to be premier of Alberta has to live with. Rachel Notley chose to accept that reality while advancing environmental issues in other ways. If that's just too far "off the reserve" for NDP supporters to accept, that might explain a great deal about why the NDP have been so overwhelmingly ineffective for most of their existence.
No, it was actually nice to see Alberta Conservatives get booted just for the shock factor, but who are we kidding? Everyone knew she'd be a one-term protest-vote premier. Wait, did you actually have hopes that Alberta would find some semblance of progressiveness??
And yes, she's slightly above the steaming pile of poop that normally runs the province, but at the end of the day, Alberta is what it is and no matter who governs it, they will be a slightly different shade of poop since they have to appease their constituents.
I'm surprised that you're disappointed in Trudeau... I didn't think you were ever on board the Trudeau train, even from before the election.
No, I wasn't ever a fan but I preferred him to Harper. Over Scheer, not really.
That's the 'disappointment' factor I'm talking about. Even people I know who voted Liberal feel disappointed in him.
