“These were far and away the issues most strongly identified by Albertans during last year’s [highly engineered and manipulated] Alberta Next panel town halls and online submissions….[because the UCP knew that stoking these issues would play well with the misinformed far right part of our base and we need them on board if we want to win any more elections and continue our campaign to dismantle all of Alberta’s cherished institutions and impose rule by authoritarian Christian nationalists and oil corporations.]” There, I put in the parts that she is thinking but was too dishonest to say out loud.
