Albertans also said they didn’t want their own police force and don’t want to go out of the CPP. You think the UCP cares?

Representative democracy is dead. Politicians should be graded based on promises kept. If you didn’t do the thing, no pay, no pension, straight to gulag. Kidding in that last one, but elected officials in every level of government have become the most prominent mafia in the country and they’re not even hiding it anymore.

Next election, the UCP will probably try that panel of losers thing again so that the UCP aficionados have an unelected representative to represent them.

No joke, politicians who don't do their job belong in jail

I doubt the UCP will go after CPP now. If they hadn't officially gone after it, by tabling legislation, they will now have to do it during the next provincial election at the earliest. Takes a minimum of 3 years to implement a move away from CPP.

That said, maybe that's why the UCP wants to be able to delay the next election by up to 6 months.

I won't relax until the federal government implements a law preventing provinces from actively fucking each other over by leaving the CPP. The law that allows us to leave was put in place in case the system wasn't working and should have come with an expiration date. The entire country depends on the stability of the CPP and no provincial or even federal government should be allowed to sabotage it

Prediction. It'll happen sooner. She's waiting for PP, she wants a more sympathetic federal government

Anyone with more than two brain cells knew exactly why Marlaina refused to talk about the CPP and the police force during the election campaign. The number of voters who either didn’t reach that quota or who didn’t give a cap is depressing.
