2023 UCP Alberta election

Things look bad now, but I think if a government can focus the mind on this issue like Australia did, we can turn things around. Unfortunately, politicians of all stripes would rather play silly bugger and beat each other rhetorically rather than fix large existential problems. I mean, look at healthcare. That has been a raging dumpster fire for decades that has only been getting worse, while everyone acknowledges it’s broken and needs to be fixed. But everyone would rather use it as a cudgel on their political opponents. That’s where the incentives are.

If Poilievre is serious about fixing this, I’ll be pleasantly surprised.

The problem every politician has is that of first getting elected. How much bad news are people willing to hear? How many oxen can be gored?
