I think it's time for some Alberta election results clarification here.
I see this rhetoric passed along all the time that the majority* of the province (outside of Edmonton and a few pockets in Calgary) voted to keep the Uninformed Clown Party in power. I feel like this rhetoric stops us from banding together as a province and ousting these Mango Mussolini dick riders. Observe:
Riding | UCP Votes | NDP Votes | Vote Difference | Voter Turnout |
---|---|---|---|---|
Calgary-North | 7927 | 7798 | 113 | 56.8% |
Calgary-North West | 11,921 | 11,778 | 149 | 69.7% |
Calgary-Bow | 13,175 | 12,552 | 623 | 69.0% |
Calgary-Cross | 7533 | 7019 | 514 | 50.5% |
Lethbridge-East | 10,998 | 10,362 | 636 | 62.0% |
Calgary-East | 7123 | 6423 | 701 | 45.2% |
Morinville-St. Albert | 13,472 | 11,728 | 1,744 | 66.1% |
```
The UCP have an 11 seat advantage over the NDP but only just. All 7 ridings here had vote differences of less than 2,500. 6 out of 7, as you can see, were less than 1,000.
We currently are past the 18 month period necessary to wait to start the recall process. I want to start the process because I'm sick of our premier making Albertans as a whole look bad, not only to the rest of the country, but now on a global stage. Unfortunately, this is a huge task and I don't live in a single one of these ridings. Even with that said, I will help in anyway I can, including canvassing door-to-door in St. Albert if need be.
Edit:
Ousting Danielle out of her riding would be foolish and simply wouldn't happen.
Suggesting that we could oust 11 MLA through the recall process is delusional. Hell, 2 or 3 is going to be a challenge must less 7.
But trying to do the recall (whether successful or not) isn't actually to try and topple the UCP government but I'm more wanting it to be our way, Albertans way of making it very fucking clear that we do not support this bitch to both the provincial government as well as to the rest of Canada. By sitting around doing nothing when we have a resource available (even though that resource is stacked not in our favour) we're basically saying that this represents all Albertans.
