    FYI for non-Canadians - Alberta is often referred to as the Texas of Canada.

    Lmao my town is in an uproar because there is no bussing for the high school, but my town literally voted to disincorporate (and won!) rather than pay a double-digit yearly increase on their taxes… to pay for bussing.

      More and more it seems like people just don’t want to help pay for services that are extremely helpful. Yet when those services are removed, they get all uppity about it. It’s just like brexit. Stupidity on a massive scale.

    OP needs to change the title. We don’t have a “Democratic Party” in Canada, or even in Alberta.

        NDP and Liberal parties, which are politically very similar to each other. Closest analogue to them is the US Democrat party but the Democrats in the US are more neolib than either Canadian leftist party - although Canadian politics tends to trail US politics by a few years, so they’ll get there lol.

    Well yeah, I mean, they had probably planned to get new AR-15s with that money. Now they have to waste it on their kids.
