Marilyn Gladu constituents are throwing their election signs supporting her in the trashcan.
Does she deserve this?

@MarcNixon24 I believe she deserves worse but that’s up to God.

@WeAreCanProud This is the equivalent of asking which premier is the better woman. We all know the answer, but some will still be confused by the question.

@WeAreCanProud I saw a recent video of a long line up of almost 200 citizens applying for level entry job! I can tell you that doesn’t happen in BC. Meanwhile Danielle is travelling to d US to attend trump party on tax payers money

@beachmagoo @albertaNDP @Frazzling I mean, I would support this. How is this not the way we do things already.

@albertaNDP @Frazzling Democracy means everyone’s vote counts.
Proportional representation please Alberta.

You don’t get to call yourself pro-democracy while rewriting the rules to stay in power.
An independent commission did the work. The UCP’s job is to accept their recommendation.
Anything else is blatant Trump-style gerrymandering.

@shrike_red53927 @albertaNDP What policies does Nenshi want to implement?

@DistinctlyNot @CalgaryDave Finally a leftist with some common sense.

@CaloriePowered @CalgaryDave Good fucking riddance if they want to leave.

If you know NOTHING ELSE about Canadian Politics, know that this alone is why Alberta needs out.
34 out of 37 opted to go blue in the federal election.
By all rights, a mega supermajority.
0% of them have any say, federally- and if they do, the needs of Quebec and Ontario come first.
There is no fair deal we can make with the present framework- where 92% of the will of the province is consistently ignored, while people at the opposite end continue oppressive lawmaking, regulation, culture, and views towards Alberta.

@JSJamato Yeah this is an Alberta thing. Not a Canadian Federal Government thing. Have fun fighting for the Rez that the independence movement doesn't want anything to do with.

If floor crossing truly went against democracy, we would not be voting for individual MPs at all, we would be voting only for parties.
In Canada, we elect a local representative in each riding, not a fixed seat for a political party. That means the person elected is the MP, and they are accountable to their constituents, not permanently bound to a party label.
When an MP chooses to cross the floor, the election result is not cancelled, and no votes are erased. The same elected representative continues to serve the same riding. What changes is the party they sit with in Parliament, not the fact that they were chosen by voters.
If democracy meant locking MPs to a party forever, then voters would have no real choice beyond selecting a party list. That is not how Canada’s system works.
Floor crossing can be controversial, but it exists because MPs are elected as individuals within a parliamentary democracy where accountability happens at the ballot box, not through party handcuffs mid term.

@BobBaker666 @turtletole94 @CalgaryDave Just my opinion. Not fact. Let's sit back and see how my estimation looks in a year or two.

@aurorabennu @mrsunshinebaby You’re describing what should be. Not what is.
English

@mrsunshinebaby People don’t vote for people like sports teams. People vote for policy. The politician could be a rock and we’d vote for policies.
This is not democracy.
English

A dozen more would basically cement a "leave" vote for Alberta, so I hope 20 more do so.
Fuck this maple shithole haha.

🚨 BREAKING: CPC MP Marilyn Gladue just CROSSED THE FLOOR to the Liberal Party. Mark Carney is now one-seat shy of a majority government.

@DistinctlyNot @CalgaryDave Land has money. People who live on that land might try to control that money. When those people vote to leave that money leaves with them. You’re right land doesn’t technically vote. If values were assigned to voters based on GDP and potential how much is an eastern vote worth?
English

@SawyerBoyle @CalgaryDave lol your biggest cheerleaders Berta Proud & Theo Fleury are all over him.
English

@nuttyskadork @CalgaryDave Why do people constantly bring up MAGA in Canadian politics.
English

@CalgaryDave Hey fuckface, just because we wanted a Conservative Party doesn’t mean we wanted any American maga bullshit.
English

@Over9000Jon @CalgaryDave So if the state of our country after 10 years is this… It may have been productive to listen to the 10%. Just saying.
English

@CalgaryDave can you explain how you think in a democracy a block of 10% of a population will have a significant impact on a vote
