Smith doesn't care about Canadians, the economy or even Albertans for that matter (while healthcares is crumbling, Wildrose is way too busy grifting off healthcare privatization). No, her main priority is the mostly foreign oil industry people who overwhelming donate to her party & represent the real power in Alberta. Why?!? Because some Albertans hate the NDP, as the NDP expects Corporations to actually pay taxes in order for nurses, doctors, teachers or literally any public service workers to at least make what a guy dumping waste water into a river makes.
Unfortunately for some, the idea that having any respect for the people who literally save our lives, educate our children or protect our lives is WAAYYY TOO MUCH!!! Better to ensure that Smith can ALWAYS prioritize the Foreign Corporations lining of her Party's pockets, than to ever consider even a small amount of dignity for the people who actually hold Alberta together, because without them there'd be nobody to pump that sweet black liquid gold into all those foreign pockets?!?!
Over 70% of all oil industry is owned by foreigners & that money is removed from Canada & is minimally taxed, while most of the cleanup is mostly paid for by Canadians. If it was actually a national project, that Canadians mostly benefited from that would be one thing. However, most of the conservatives want Canadians to pay for all of the development and then take a loss so that they're foreign partners can get it on the cheap, while paying a minimum of taxes. TMX pipeline, with original purchase cost + build cost almost $40 billion and took 13 years to build with a projected loss of an estimated loss of 15 billion to taxpayers BUT at least Alberta is thankful for forcing BC to take its resource to tide water over the objections of almost HALF the population of Vancouver right?!?; I mean, Alberta never shuts up about how the Federal government PAID to ensure its main resource was accommodated over BC, the municipality of Burnaby, the objections of multiple indigenous leaders, multiple treaties of trade on carbon expansion, against the will of literally every single environmental groups & as a result, Alberta is happier with Canada than ever!?!?!
The system works.

Saw the "Muslim diversity" in the title and thought Oh yeah, there'll be some good old-fashioned classic Canadian xenophobia!
I live in a major city and I tried to explain to my friends from other countries that if you drive an hour outside of any of these cities that you will see what Canada is actually like, small-minded, cruel, petty, racist, xenophobic, homophobic and generally mean. The kind of people who complain about small businesses going out of their towns while drinking the world's worst coffee at Tim Hortons next to the Walmart that they just bought everything from. That's not everyone out there, but I'd say at least a hardline 30% and another soft 30%.
The other 40% are what makes this country amazing and are who our grandparents fought and died for in world war II, but unfortunately they don't vote as much as the people who are motivated by petty cruelty.
The system works.
P.S. I'm sure Poilievre will be PM soon and will accomplish nothing he's been talking about while things get worse but these same people won't notice so long as he's cruel to the poor, drug addicts and the mentally ill or disabled.

It's too bad they didn't get down on their knees & beg Rona Ambrose to take on the leadership & tell her they wouldn't make her endure the misogyny of the base, in order to avoid a Trump clone. Sadly, 2 election losses convinced the base that in order to win, they need to mimic a politician who uses ultra divisive tactics and then mimic that exact same politicians, literally word for word statements & general levels of "charm" to run in the next election. Now, against Trudeau who is not only a poor leader (throwing women under the bus for his poor choices)a failure as a admin (failures and scandals that are easily avoidable ) but more importantly just an irritating person (uhhh, umm, ahhh...) You would need to be a uniquely poor politician to lose to such an unpopular person?!? However, if you mimic word for word, a President literally threatening to annex Canada & ignore every constituency that doesn't agree with you. Well, that's an election you can lose?!?
