Unfortunately, an appeal to the environment will never work with Smith’s voter base. It needs to be framed by their concerns: business, economy, and costs.
Oil is becoming less profitable, and the longer they stay focused on it, they fall further behind the rest of the energy industry. They were poised to be leaders, but they’re selling the future of their economy for a quick buck now.
Smith’s voter base has no true issues, ideals, morals, or concerns. They have “I Vote Blue”.

God why did I choose to live in this dumpster fire of a province?
Coming from the neighbouring SK dumpster fire, I think it helps to remember that most people aren’t defined by their political stance. While there are a few who definitely are, which only helps us to know who to avoid, most people can still be good neighbours and friends while our governments prefer to run our provinces into the ground.
Oh buddy I moved to AB from SK lmao. Yeah people are generally nice, just clueless when it comes to politics. I have a trans/gay friend who voted for Sask Party a couple years ago and when they told me I was like wtf. Worse yet it came out that their specific representative was very homophobic and transphobic…
Before this person had voted.
I think some level of research should be essential before you vote, but there’s no way to enforce that. So I urge everybody I know to research before they vote so that they can make an informed decision.
Aren’t conservatives supposed to be, y’know, fiscally conservative? Why turn down a more affordable option for power generation?
