JFC Alberta, you need to get that shitheel out of office.
I can't believe she was elected. She crossed the fucking floor and what 8 years later all is forgiven and she's elected.
It's all about tribalism. All of it.
All of her politics are about signalling that she's a good member of the tribe, and aligning those tribal boundaries with the interests of her donors. So we get a mix of Great Value Fascism with oil industry pandering as a result.
Crossing the fucking floor is a neon flashing sign she's not a member of the tribe. It's a sign that she'll backstab and sell out at a moments notice.
For me it wasn't just that she crossed the floor, but she was the leader of the official opposition that crossed the floor and took 10 MLAs with her, effectively kneecapping the Wildrose Party ... and then had the gall to excuse it away by saying she "was naive and Jim Prentice sold her a bill of goods" (source).
She is as scuzzy at it gets.
I mean, she was elected by a whole 1300 votes.
