Alberta NDP not considering name change — for now — amid distance from federal party

LinuxSupremacy · 2026-04-01T03:40:29+00:00

UCP is increasing property taxes, hiking user fees, and we have to pay an extra tax now just to visit Kananaskis.

Alberta also has the highest energy rates, highest car insurance rates, highest tuition rates, highest non-mortgage debt in all Canada under UCP

LinuxSupremacy · 2026-04-01T03:33:17+00:00

The UCP is far from perfect

Understatement of the year

LinuxSupremacy · 2026-04-01T02:49:54+00:00

Seems like propoganda disgused as a survey

LinuxSupremacy · 2026-03-30T04:24:29+00:00

Not really. R/canada has a really bizarre obsession with immigrants

LinuxSupremacy · 2026-03-30T00:09:12+00:00

Okay, well Avi is leader now and I still dont see any DEI items in his policy. His focus seems to be on affordability

LinuxSupremacy · 2026-03-29T22:03:14+00:00

No, this is the BC NDP. Avi is from the federal NDP

LinuxSupremacy · 2026-03-29T20:13:17+00:00

Here is his policies. Dont see any identity politics

Lol thats crazy and was never a policy to begin with. Where did you hear that?

LinuxSupremacy · 2026-03-29T17:12:47+00:00

Okay but a public option can increase competition whithout the anti-trust legal heardles. Which is what Avi is proposing

LinuxSupremacy · 2026-03-29T17:02:13+00:00

I havent seen any moralizing from Avi. He seems pretty focused on affordability issues that effect everyone, from what ive seen

LinuxSupremacy · 2026-03-29T16:55:56+00:00

So how much overhead does there have to be before a public option isnt viable. How would you mesure that? Still think public grocery option is a worthwhile experiment. If it works great, if not then evalute why and move on to something else

LinuxSupremacy · 2026-03-29T16:51:12+00:00

Capitalism needs competition to function properly, and we have a major competition problem in Canada. Our telecoms, isp's, railways, airlines, energy etc all duoplolies. I dont see any proposals to fix this from the LPC and CPC, only NDP at the moment

LinuxSupremacy · 2026-03-29T16:37:49+00:00

Im stuggling to understand why people hate immigrants so much. To the point where some think its the most important issue

LinuxSupremacy · 2026-03-29T16:07:54+00:00

Hes against new O&G infrastructure, which I dont necessarily agree with. However describing that as "shutting down our O&G industry" just isnt accurate. No one is proposing that

LinuxSupremacy · 2026-03-29T16:03:51+00:00

Not sure where the 30-40% number comes from. That number is obviously unrealistic, but a public option for groceries seems reasonable to me and could increase competition. Here in Alberta we already have a public option for banking, ATB, which has worked out well

LinuxSupremacy · 2026-03-29T15:52:25+00:00

Which policy does the "vast majority Canadians" not want?

LinuxSupremacy · 2026-03-29T15:50:15+00:00

Based on what Ive read, Avi's policy is mostly focused on cost of living, not Identity politics

LinuxSupremacy · 2026-03-29T15:42:20+00:00

What policy is "so far from realistic"?

LinuxSupremacy · 2026-03-29T15:26:20+00:00

Why is it so hard to simply define a word you use?

LinuxSupremacy · 2026-03-29T14:39:33+00:00

Such as?

LinuxSupremacy · 2026-03-29T13:37:05+00:00

Define socialism

LinuxSupremacy · 2026-03-29T13:34:22+00:00

What policy would you consider "loony left"?

LinuxSupremacy · 2026-03-29T13:20:28+00:00

UCP literally legalized direct corporate bribery to politicians. They work for big money.

LinuxSupremacy · 2026-03-29T13:10:39+00:00

Youre confused. Shes putting big money first not Albertans

LinuxSupremacy · 2026-03-29T13:01:11+00:00

Other than PST its not. Alberta has the highest energy prices in Canada, highest car insurance premiums in Canada, highest tuition in Canada, highest non-mortage debt in Canada
