There is nothing conservative about the UCP leadership candidates

Those of us who were proud to be brought up in a conservative family world find it hard to believe what the Reformers have brought to the table. 

Not one of them is smart enough to suggest we should be following our hero Peter Lougheed in collecting proper royalties and taxes and running this province properly like Lougheed did and Alaska and Norway are doing. 

In other words there is nothing Conservative about them. I can’t find any true conservatives who have any intention of wanting to elect any one of these fake conservatives running for leadership of the UCP. If the stupid comments being provided by them wasn’t so dangerous it would be down-right hilarious.

Brian Jean suggests that we stop collecting oil royalties, but can’t explain how he will replace the lost revenues. He doesn’t care what it will do to Albertans and our already huge financial mess created by previous fake conservatives.

Danielle Smith has brought back the Alberta Sovereignty Act which suggests we completely ignores Ottawa’s rules and regulations and puts seniors at risk of losing their Old Age Security payments, Canada Pension Plan payments and Public health Care benefits and she doesn’t care what it will do to us seniors. 

Travis Toews, as our finance minister, can’t prove to our Auditor General where he spent $4 billion of taxpayers money that was intended to help fight Covid. Why would anyone want anyone of them as our premier? All they provide is a worse financial mess for our children to deal with.

 After watching Jason Kenney wanting to kick out our RCMP for daring to investigate his party now we see his pal Pierre Poilievre wanting to destroy the careers of around 7,500 young Canadians by scraping the CBC for daring to criticize the brand of stupid politics he plans to bring to Canadians. In other- words if you don’t agree with Reform Party Stupidity you don’t belong in their world.

It’s obvious that Poilievre’s plan is to bring Donald Trump American-Style Republican Politics to Canada. 

Why else would he be praising his pal Jason Kenney for the COVID mismanagement nightmare he created in Alberta, while he praises the truckers for the mess they created in Ottawa and Coutts, and bashes Trudeau for wanting to ban assault rifles and handguns to protect Canadians against the gun violence stupidity we are seeing in the U.S. 

Apparently he doesn’t care about what it has cost taxpayers or those that have lost their lives.

 Where is the intelligence in that?
