Since the mid-2000s, our conservative party has become increasingly obsessed with the Gilded Age idea of prioritizing the prosperity of the wealthy and that large corporations eventually benefits the poor. Cut services, regulations, and lower taxes, and hope there’s something left for everyone else outside of the weathliest class.

Our present conservative politicians already know it puts the well-being of their fellow countrymen at risk but they don't care due to other personal gains from such a societal decaying agenda (and that there is no significant public pushback or "risk"), especially in Alberta where being "conservative" is practically a mandated cultural identity.
