Alberta is falling behind. From 2014 to 2024 hospital spending per person fell thirteen percent while Canada rose thirteen percent. Staffing and beds dropped. Since 2019 school funding per pupil is down twenty percent. UCP Ministers admit they crushed the teachers strike to hide underfunding
Right-wing propaganda works by triggering anger using strawmen and half truths. Anger shuts down logic, so people make emotional decisions, join the tribe, and later defend the lie as if it were fact. It feels true because the brain protects the tribe before checking evidence

Right-wing propaganda triggers anger so people react fast, not logically. It uses simple tricks like strawmen, half truths, scapegoating, and fear priming. Once angry, people join the tribe, defend the lie as truth, and stop checking facts. Emotion comes first, logic comes last

Conservatives keep cutting and underfunding health care because they want it to fail and push privatization. When you starve a system, wait times grow. It takes years and way more money to fix the damage. BC even had one of the world’s top systems in the 90s when it was properly funded

Canada loses either way with Poilievre’s stunt. His pipeline motion is not real policy. A yes vote weakens consultation. A no vote weakens confidence. It is a trap designed to divide the country instead of build anything

Private builders slow down when profits dip, so the market alone cannot fix housing. Wab Kinew’s gov steps in where the private sector fails, using tax credits, public builds and nonprofit housing to keep supply growing. Manitoba is getting affordable homes built while others stall

Smith killed renewables to protect fossil fuel profits. The UCP freeze wiped out cheap wind and solar, driving up power bills and shielding gas plants from competition. Alberta lost billions in investment so their fossil fuel friends could keep cashing in

UCP’s tax cuts were sold as job creators but the facts show the opposite. By 2022 Alberta handed oil giants 4.3 billion n they cut more than three thousand jobs, raised executive pay and boosted dividends. Corporations got richer while workers paid the price

Job Creation or Job Loss?: Big Companies Use Tax Cut to Automate Away Jobs in the Oil Sands
The biggest oil sands companies received $4.3 billion in tax cuts from the UCP’s “Job Creation Tax Cut.” Then they eliminated thousands of employees from their payrolls.

Conservatives get many working and middle class people to vote against their own economic interests by making them feel instead of think. When people are angry or scared, they stop asking questions. Slogans replace real policies, emotions replace facts, and voters defend choices that hurt them

Capitalism has been broken and corrupted by right-wing economic policies that reward those who exploit and extract the wealth created by the working class
Garbage collectors create real value by keeping cities clean, safe, and livable. Wall Street speculators mostly shuffle money without producing anything we need. Yet the ones adding real value earn very little, and the ones moving paper around get rewarded the most

Alberta schools are the most underfunded in Canada. Since 2019 funding per student dropped sharply while enrolment surged, leaving classrooms overcrowded and supports collapsing. The UCP keeps cutting while pretending nothing is wrong. Our kids are paying the price

The UCP pushed private health deals linked to a connected businessman already tied to missing medicine and conflicts of interest. They fired the AHS CEO investigating it, blocked questions, and stonewalled for months. You do not hide this much unless there is something to hide.

A health procurement scandal tied to UCP insiders keeps getting buried. Conflicts of interest, missing medicine, fired officials and months of stonewalling. You do not hide the truth if nothing is wrong. Alberta deserves answers not a government acting like it has something to cover up

Smith passed a law blocking pensioners from suing AIMCo for its reckless 2020 losses and made it retroactive. It overturns a court ruling and shields AIMCo and the Crown from liability. If Alberta leaves CPP, Albertans would have no recourse if their pensions are mismanaged

Canada tried Poilievre’s “get government out of the way” model in the 1990s when fed and prov gov's stopped building social and co-op housing. Builds collapsed, rents exploded, homelessness soared and speculators took over. The math is clear: when government stops building, Canadians get priced out

Jason Kenney killed a forty four year coal ban in the middle of COVID and Danielle Smith quietly revived it after the election even though most Albertans oppose new mines. Their job claims are false, selenium risks are real and it looks like the UCP sold out Alberta to wealthy coal interests
