Living in these provinces is really just having us like: “WHERE’S THE MONEY LEBOWSKI??”
Brag about the surplus but it just disappears
I hope people are seeing that a hurricane is not normal here and we’re at the turning point of needing implement change now. Change should’ve happened way before this but, unfortunately, some people need drastic disasters to be the final push for them.
My mom is definitely similar to yours: girl-boss and was raised with the mindset to never cause problems, never argue, just be a doormat. She’s absolutely terrified of conflict, especially if it involves me. One time when we got our EPCOR bill (over $1000) I got angry and was outwardly stating my disdain and need for revolution; she immediately freaked out thinking that I’m going to get arrested for just talking shit in my own house. She’s the type that says “that’s just how it is” but she is supportive in me making changes. When it comes to family matter she silently supports me when I argue, but if it’s something state related she’s scared I’ll be detained or worse.
When the NDP were in power here in Alberta I think people may have been to confident that we’d stay orange come next election. But the UCP somehow managed to take power again even after the 40 years of conservative fuck ups; they really campaigned on the NDP doing nothing. Now with the absolute shitshow on display that is the UCP (and cons in general), the immediate steep decline since taking office, seems to be pushing even the most devote cons to the “left” (even though Notely is not a leftist) while the UCP scrambles to garner support with the “Alberta sovereignty” and “Ottawa bad” folks. Some people (convoy sympathizers especially) have unfortunately fallen for that message. But others are seeing that, actually, the whole system is fucked.
I think Politicians aren’t scared of the people enough considering they’re willing to let their whole province get demolished by a hurricane and just shrug it off; like no matter how bad it gets the people won’t do anything about it.
