What do you figure?

How influential is the AIP in your neck of the woods?

Very in my area, for the federal government this should be of concern.

I have yet to see a lawnsign in the Highwood riding usually almost totally
Tory . Major sorta scandal , the former WR / Con ...guy Wayne was bumped
by the UCP and given to the association chairman WJ ...major shit storm of
sorts ....
The AIP guy Dan ? , local boy is reving er up .
The dippers are MIA , it's wait and see.
I have read the AIP platform , to sensible for the locals I think .
Unlike the NDP not one person with a beer box on their heads ...
Seeing as we are somewhat in the shitter already, wouldn't it be
interesting if they carried the province ......I can just imagine Shiny
blaming that one on Harper ...

Me and wifey went for a drive around town and seen a few UCP signs but seen twice as many AIP signs.

BUT..the dippers had signs all over the place.

This tells me one thing.... They are friggin' desperate and running scared.

I was in Stony and Spruce Grove yesterday, lots of lawns with UPC signs. And lots of NDP . But the NDP signs where on city land, did not see one on any private. Didn't notice any AIP, but wasn't paying attention to that neither, I will now. I would vote for the AIP if I thought they could get in, but I worry it would split the votes and allow the NDP up the middle, can't let that happen. $:-\$

I am in Pincher Creek, in the Livingstone-Macleod riding.... We actually have three good men running, for the NDP, UCP and AP. The NDP guy, Cam Gardner, is a well respected rancher. Personally, I am undecided at this point. As far as signs, I travel frequently along #3 and up #2, and have to say I have seen more NDP signs so far.... But signs and polls may not reflect what happens on election day.

I’m sorry but with all do respect, anyone associated with and or agrees with the NDP and their philosophies is inherently flawed. They may be a good person but they lack the capabilities to understand the basics of what it takes to make a nation work.

I concur, unfortunately there is quite a segment of the Canadian
population that believes that getting something for nothing in an on
going deficit is a viable form of successful government .
Proof that we are totally screwed between the ears , is that our current
empowered socialists actuall forewarned us that a large long term
Trip in the red was coming and still Canadians elected them.
Just look east to the 3 Rd. World province of Manitoba , 16 years
Of full gulag , now unable to raise it self from the mire .
I honestly believe that a third wold war is inevitable , mostly on
religious grounds again ..
It is seriously important that we divest ourselves of as much socialist
influence as possible in the next 2 years .

It will be somewhat interesting to see how many gullible fools waste their
vote on an idea that a separate province will somehow flourish.
Is our armed forces large enough for the drama queen to put Alberta under
Marshall Law. Throw ourselves on the mercy of the Donald , the State of
Alberta would be one one of the richest in the union ...
Can't wait to see the Netflix movie.

Good grass roots Conservative initiative here.

It's a step in the right direction, as always the prove is in the action , not the words. But at least he's not afraid to bring it up as a election issue.

OL_JR · « **Reply #31 on:** March 29, 2019, 09:55:24 PM »

I really hope those that are thinking of voting for independence give their head a shake, maybe two. We can't afford a split vote. I know it's old news and stating the obvious but if you take the time to add up the conservative vote last election the NDP would be in the distant minority. I know they like to govern with that kind of arrogance of being an elected majority by popular vote but they really are an accident and it would be devastating for it to happen again. The big money doesn't have confidence in Alberta right now, it's been scary and it's getting scarier. I'm hearing of a lot of cutbacks, hours, wages etc. The NDP can fly the pro oil flag all they want but nobody that has real money to spend seems to care.

Notley will be gone.

Pretty safe to say that now.
Edmonton still shows that she is ahead in that lefty crap hole of a city.
What Kenney needs to do once in power is to punish that socialist nest led by Don Iveson and shut down most of the funding from the Province.
He will just misappropriate it all and spend it on LRT anyway.

Look at the latest poll:

I yearn for the good old days when the NDP would get 1 or 2 seats.

Rachel Notley 2017 - We are going to "carefully and compassionately tighten our belts"

Rachel Notley 2019- " Ahhh, **** it"

AxeMan · « **Reply #36 on:** April 03, 2019, 05:19:33 PM »

So the NDP, Rachel Notley and her big henchwoman Sarah Hoffman, are keen on slinging mud.

They are digging as deep as they can to find anything they can on the homophobia side show to try in desperation to change to focus on the campaign away from the economy, debt, and carbon tax.
While the people of Alberta have very little appetite for this crap, that is all they have.

Just yesterday they dug an old audio clip from 2013 on Mark Smith from Drayton Valley - Devon UCP candidate. They were hoping the lefty media would drool all over that and make it into a "Bozo Eruption" or "Lake of Fire" incident.

They better look out. If Kenney wanted to sling mud back, there is plenty of mud in the NDP swamp.
Remember that sexual misconduct scandal last year within the NDP that Notley covered up and wouldn't release the names and did an internal party investigation only.
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/ndp-misconduct-allegations-investigation-1.4910779

Well, I can tell you the 2 NDPers. It was Deron Bilous and Heather Sweet. A couple of real pieces of work.
The allegations in the scandal are quite disgusting. Extra marital affair and drugs involved. Did they get caught boinking in the office?
The Rebel was the only media outfit that went after them:

The thing is most Albertans don’t care what your preference is either way. If your homophobic thats fine if your not that’s fine, it’s a non issue for most.

Drove home from the west today,, predominantly UCP posters up all the way, a few commy up. Mostly on intersection corners not many on private property, says a lot right there. A few more Notely and Boyd posters up in the spirit river area, the Notely gangs homestead range I believe.

AxeMan · « **Reply #38 on:** April 04, 2019, 07:32:22 PM »

My opinions.

Kenney wins the debate hands down.
Prepared, knowledgeable, real solutions.
Defended the attacks well with factual info. Held Notley to account with facts and shot her lies down effectively.
An effective politician that knows how to fight loud mouth fakes like Notley and Trudeau.
He will get his chance, better not blow it.

Notley was pathetic. Loud mouth attacker that kept butting in on everyone.
Couldn't defend her dismal record. All she did was blame past governments.
Tried to ignore the economy and debt and harp on social issues. Failed on that.
She was put on blast by everyone on the economy and the carbon tax. She had little defense, a failure.

David Khan was irrelevant. He came across as arrogant and ideological.
Kept repeating that the Liberal party is the only party that can do anything right and that he is a constitutional lawyer. Said that at least a half dozen times.
Also kept saying he speaks for Albertans.
I see shades of Justin Trudeau in him.

Stephen Mandel was also mostly irrelevant. He was actually the most humble of the bunch, but his ideas are completely impractical.
As much as I hate his guts as the 2nd worst Mayor in Edmonton's history, he did okay.
At one point Khan attacked him and he asked Khan what he had been smoking. Khan looked the idiot.
He is an old crook that failed and is just relying on whatever charm he thinks he has left in him.

Kenny certainly held his ground. I do like how he made the whole issue on his minister a non issue. He ignored it as he should and it died out same as it will come election time to everyone other than the socialist idiots. 10 x the debater that the bumbling Jean was.
