What does it take to admit a new state? Please tell me this couldn’t happen, I don’t want to be American.

Really, that’s it? Damn. I bet we’d be a blue state, though, so maybe that’s a disincentive for that particular weird post-2016 thing.
Alberta has the record for the longest time with the same party in power, it was a conservative party from 1971 to 2015 and they beat the previous record that they previously held that was another conservative party from 1935 to 1971.
Alberta’s NDP is conservative compared to the NDP everywhere else!
Alberta and America have both changed a lot in the past decades. The rural areas would probably still be (light?) red, but most of the population is in Calgary and Edmonton, and they’re not going to go for no-joke Republicans that think the election was faked by a global cabal of pedophiles.
The Alberta NDP is a bit like the Liberals in other places, I’d say.
I’d argue that SoCred wasn’t conservative. It was anti-capitalist, for one thing; although it wasn’t really socialist either, but kind of it’s own thing.
Who’s the
prime ministerpremier of Alberta? What % of the total vote did her party get?I rest my case.
We don’t have a prime minister. Our premier won by just 1300 (well-placed, it’d be more if they were outside of Calgary) votes in a province of 4 million. I rest my case.
The title is the same in french, sorry about that
That’s a lot more than 1300 votes. Maybe your province leans towards the far right more than you want to admit, 52.63% of the popular vote going to a COVID denier that called those who got vaccinated Nazis and lied about having first Nation ancestry, that doesn’t look good to me…
No, I was pretty involved, so I’m sure about this. I was told 1309, to be exact, distributed across the close Calgary ridings.
In rural areas, it wasn’t even close, so that drives up the UCP numbers quite a bit. People are crazy loyal to anything labeled “conservative” out in the boonies, it’s not even a question of policy (which is why they’d vote Republican). Still, if you look at the popular vote numbers, 52.6% isn’t exactly a landslide. The NDP were a hair from winning.
As for the far right, that stuff is brewing up in conservative parties all over the Western world. I seem to remember leaving bodies in dumps being the centerpoint of the Manitoba campaign, and the leading party federally is full of MPs that supported the trucker convoy. That’s not an excuse, but I think it’s a stretch to say that because people narrowly voted Danielle Smith in, they’d be okay not having government healthcare, which I can’t imagine a Republican candidate would abide.
PRIME MINISTER OF ALBERTA?? lol…
Clearly a Danielle Smith supporter because you don’t know anything and wouldn’t dare let your lack of knowledge stop you from talking out your ass.
I’m shocked at how stupid your comment is.
That’s a little over the top. Or was that the point?
In french the title is the same, guess we can ignore everything I said because I made a mistake in her title! 😱
So no, I’m not a Smith supporter, far from it.
So you’re blaming the French title instead of admitting not knowing her actual title?
Yeah, I’ll ignore everything you ever say going forward as you clearly do not care about being accurate.
Your voting record over the last century says otherwise.
You whippersnappers and not understanding the social credit party!! Why, in my day…
Sure, we’re a conservative province in Canada, but in the US we’d still be to the left. We, overall, like having free healthcare and access to abortion. I swear the rest of Canada thinks we’re illiterate sometimes. Bro, I saw what happened in Ontario, get off your high horse.
