As the federal election campaign unfolds, a concerning pattern is emerging in Western Canada: some high-profile conservatives retreating from national coalition-building in favour of grievance politics. @drjaredwesley.bsky.social writes.

I don't understand why Albertans don't vote strategically. When it appears Carney will form the next government, why wouldn't you vote to ensure a place at the cabinet. Sitting on the outside, complaining that the rest of the country doesn't understand you gets you no where. PP is misleading you.
The dumbest thing! People will vote Con no matter what. Even when Harper was PM, what did the province really get? They don’t have to do anything for votes that are already guaranteed.
Conservatives like to claim wokeness and exclude DEI from society. They had shifted from any progressive policy and when their views are not inline with that of the general population, they bitch and moan. Nothing but snowflakes, is what had happened to conservatism in western Canada
Im so fucking sick of Alberta’s Fascist Traitors. They aren’t Canadians - they hate Canadians.

maggots
who believe their personal failures are somebody else's fault
b/c that's what the extreme Right feeds them
so to part them from their money and get their votes.
They LIVE on their 'victimhood'... which is FED by their dirtbag Leaders in order to get Elected and cash the big Gov't paychecks.
Great email however you might be waiting a while. My experience is Danielle and her cronies are very good at ignoring emails (I still write though). I did hear that if you cc an NDP MLA they have to keep a record of the correspondence vs file 13.
Just sent mine off. This pisses me off. My husband spent 20 years in the military all in Alberta. Both him and myself have lived our whole lives here. If you are an MLA supporting succession resign and do it on your own dime not my taxpayer dollars.
Right!!! The guy who runs this party is a lawyer and supposedly has been going to Washington to meet with “officials”, to get a message to Trump, that there is a “movement” in Alberta to join the US. 🤮
Yes please spread the word!! Even though it’s a federal election, I think Albertans should know this info. Danielle Smith and Pierre Poilievre are in each others pockets. It could sway some people from voting CPC? 🤷🏼♀️
There are so many adages: bite the hand that feeds, shit the bed one sleeps in etc. Grievance politics achieves nothing in the end except isolation, and we're seeing how that plays out south of us. They would rather be top dog in a small yard than pull the sled with the team.
This is the western conservatives knee-jerking to the Ontario polls. It seems a little premature to be pointing the figurative shotgun at your own junk, but go ahead and fill yer boots.
Manning is ALL about 'grievance politics'.
He's the 1 who brought TeaBaggers
to Canada... called them 'Reformers', they became ReformaCons, recruited Stephen Harper, and the rest is painful history of LIES, poisoned public discourse,
DAMAGE TO CANADA
giving us PP🐍
Now he's PUSHING separation, fkr.
The thing that has unfortunately changed for Alberta separatists ( which is really a "let's join the U.S." movement )....
Alberta separatists have to now sell the idea of joining a nation led by a crazy man intent on destroying its economy, destroying its knowledge base, destroying its reputation.
She thinks because she got so much support in her leadership review, that Albertans love her (it was fixed btw).
She has done so many things she didn’t campaign on that I think she’d lose hands down if there was an election. She is NOT listening to Albertans.
Alberta and Saskatchewan are only 2/two Western Provinces.
BC and Manitoba are also Western Canada and WE DO NOT AGREE WITH THE OTHER TWO Governments who are close to being Traitors to us. AB and SK need to realling start thinking who they elect.
This isn’t exactly new. Grievance politics has been a staple of Alberta conservatives for decades. It’s their main schtick. It might be front & center or in the background, but it’s always been there.
A Jim Prentice ride is what they need. Jim is who fucked conservatives of Alberta, and made the deal with the Devil. Kenny just took the free ride and fled when times got tough for him.
When will Albertans realize, Alberta conservatives is what is harming them. Not Ottawa.
No matter what the federal gov does It will never be enough for Alberta. And I feel they are colluding with the regime to the south. They don’t seem to understand that destroying Canada will not give them anything.

Every Albertan should see these names and know that their MLA voted against Canada.
Message your MLA and ask them why they aren’t a patriot.

Still, there may be some Americans with a bit of money left. But our wealth is almost all in the hands of a few.

Carney is closer to what the conservatives once were than what they are today.

They want to be rolling in gold and other riches.
