Will be interesting to see what the fall referendum plan morphs to now with the oil price spike. It was always just meant to distract from the deficit, but the deficit will be lessened now, if not eliminated. They’ll probably stop talking about the vote entirely over the summer.
The provincial ANDP needs to show it has a plan to keep growing the economy in Alberta. They are not loud enough about the economy; they often find themselves attacking the UCP for their record on social issues, which I don’t think is going to work in Alberta.
If the ANDP were loud about defending oil and gas or even had new industries they promoted vigorously with credible evidence that it would lead to job and wealth creation, they’d have an actual chance of getting elected. It’s the same thing in Saskatchewan. It’s not enough to promise a couple of tax cuts and to make vague promises about the cost-of-living. Talk about housing development; create new educational grants for the trades; say you will remove barriers to competition in the grocery and telecommunications sectors; most importantly, find big projects and promote them and/or agree with ones in place with your own spin. The ANDP is operating at such a political deficit when it comes to the economy, but it’s not even like the UCP is that good: the NDP are just that quiet and mediocre on the topic.
Classic Albertans.
A strong majority say the province is on the track but will still continue to vote for the party that brought us there.
This is the most Alberta thing ever.
„The current conservative government is on the wrong track… so I’m voting for them again.“

I have lived in Alberta for 30 years and I will never understand the mindset of the average Albertan. If Rachel Notley would have announced a projected $9B deficit they would have burned her at the stake. The Libertarian authoritarian Smith does it and it’s crickets
I suppose it’s weird to dislike what the party in power is doing but voting them into power. But Ontario has Doug Ford, so who am i to throw stones?
> Among decided voters, the UCP leads with 48% versus 36% for the Alberta NDP. At the same time, 60% say Alberta is on the wrong track, and only 31% say it is headed in the right direction.
Make that make sense. A majority of the province thinks that the province is going in the wrong direction, but also supports the party that’s been directing it for the last 40 plus years. I know it’s not literally the definition of insanity, but doing the same thing and expecting different results is also not the action of someone who’s mental faculties are working properly. I’d really, really, really like to know what is causing this disconnect.
Unfortunately, this article doesn’t provide answers as to why.
I often say that the infuriating thing about the US is the Democrats inability to counter MAGA, continuing to roll out weaklings like Sanders, Schiff, and AOC. The same goes for Alberta. It seems ripe for someone to topple the UCP and their corrupt hateful separatist enabling agenda, but we seem to have nobody capable of mounting a decent alternative. We’ve become a two party province with the UCP and the NDP, even though the Progressive Tory party, formerly Alberta Party seems like a reasonable alternative. Their platform calls for fiscal responsibility with social reliability. Sounds like a winning formula but here we are…..
We do not like coal mining in the rookeis!
We hate oil companies not paying us for access to our lands!
We hate that oil companies are not paying taxes to our rural municipality!
We hate the price of fertilizer going through the roof!
We hate that there is no diversification of the economy!
We hate that we have over loaded rural hospitals!
What shall we do? VOTE UCP! The only ones that can fight the evil NDP and Liberals!
Respectfully, Alberta, how is this accurate?
Is this a bad poll?
How could 60% of people dislike the policies of the current government but then still want to vote for them.
That makes no sense at all.
60% feel their province is going in the wrong direction, but would vote for the government currently driving Alberta in the wrong direction? Can someone please make that make sense?
