Danielle Smith is working hand-in-glove with private insurers to push health privatization in Alberta—and it could spread across Canada

It sadly doesn't matter. Smith could slaughter a school bus full of infants on live TV and she would still win the next election.

Conservatives, both Canadian and American, operate in a post-truth mindset where facts no longer matter. Their manufactured hatred for "the other side" will drive them to act entirely against their own interests and wellbeing entirely out of fear or just to spite their perceived foes. This is further amplified by the conservative tradition of attacking education and free press so people can't even learn the truth if they wanted it.

We can see it very clearly with the MAGA cult in the US. They are in so deep that the only way they will ever get their heads out of their ass is to lose everything they've ever held dear and even then it might not be enough.

They need to be what gets lost.

We need to bring the consequences to them. If these elections are not being cheated, then democracy is failing. Our choice is, we accept it and become the victims in a world of stupid brutes or we do what’s right for the future of whoever had children.

Living in their future is worse than death and death is coming regardless. The choice is clear.
