We know from experience the UCP does not care about the Alberta citizens so they have even less concern for the environment. Liberals support environment protections and protection of citizens rights and services. It has always been this way. I have serious concerns re our Universal healthcare in Alberta that is being dismantled before our eyes. Services that were covered are no longer covered. Services that were offered are no longer offered. It boggles my mind that Albertan’s complain about the price of gas in Calgary fir example where there can be a big variation in pricing re prices in one community and drive 5 minutes away and it is less. They have the options to go a little further away. Yet none of them say anything about our healthcare we are guaranteed as our right

and services being delisted. They cost far more than a few pennies on a litre of gas. The priorities in this province are backward.

It will be up to us to make them keep their promises. As Crowsnest says, can’t wait to press

Vote efficiently. Chris Spearman in Lethbridge, absolutely! But Heather McPherson attended the stop the coal mining rally in Edmonton. Part of the NDP plan you omitted: We will put in place an ambitious nature plan to halt and reverse biodiversity loss in Canada. This includes passing a biodiversity accountability law informed by an expert panel with measurable targets for protecting at least 30% of high-carbon, high-biodiversity lands, freshwater and oceans by 2030.

I’ve been a staunch NDPer all my life and I have never voted for any other party but the NDP.

This time around, however things are different and there is not a hope in hell that the NDP will even come close to getting 10 seats, let alone winning government and so I’m not going to waste my vote on an NDP candidate when I can make sure that the Liberals take office as opposed to the Conservatives.

After this election, I will go back to the NDP and help them rebuild into a stronger, better party than they’ve been for the last 15 years but right now is not the time.

This election is far too important to keep our country safe from the machinations of the orange idiot below the 49th parallel!

And to be honest, if Carney had actually become the leader of the Green party or the NDP party, I would’ve voted for them because Carney is the reason everyone is voting Liberal!

He is the only leader of any political party in this country that understands the complicated ins and outs of economics, as well as having a great deal of experience with economies and with foreign leaders !

Agree about Carney, but there at least two ridings, possibly three in Edmonton where voting Liberal will get a Conservative elected. NDP is the strategic vote in a handful of ridings.

Then vote for them. That’s the whole point of voting strategically. Anything but Conservative.
