\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is a one-line summary of each of Tristin’s 8 points:<\/p>\n

Housing crisis<\/strong>: Canada pioneered turning entire cities into over-leveraged real estate bubbles, driving home ownership out of reach for ordinary people because prices detached from wages.<\/p>\n

Crime and justice<\/strong>: Soft-on-crime policies, catch-and-release bail, and activist courts created a revolving door for repeat offenders, leaving our streets unsafe.<\/p>\n

Harm reduction & drugs<\/strong>: “Safe supply<\/em>” and decriminalization experiments escalated addiction and public drug use, worsening overdoses, tent cities, and societal harm instead of reducing it.<\/p>\n

Euthanasia (MAiD)<\/strong>: Canada rapidly expanded medical assistance in dying into one of the world’s most aggressive programs, with soaring death numbers and cases pushing it as a tratement for poverty and disability.<\/p>\n

Healthcare system<\/strong>: Despite high spending, Canada’s “free<\/em>” system ranks near the bottom in performance among developed nations, with deadly wait times and dysfunction.<\/p>\n

Transgender policies<\/strong>: Canada went further than most countries with permissive rules on youth transitions, pronouns, biological males in female spaces, and related ideology in schools and institutions.<\/p>\n

Identity politics and “anti-racism”<\/strong>: Canada outdid even the U.S. in embracing divisive oppressed frameworks, including declaring itself guilty of an ongoing “genocide” against Indigenous people with little accountability.<\/p>\n

Censorship and speech laws<\/strong>: Expansive hate speech rules, online content takedowns, and bills like the Online Harms Act pushed Canada toward Orwellian restrictions, chilling expression and drawing international warnings.<\/p>\n

Canada took progressive ideas further and faster than peers, almost always with cascading negative consequences, turning a once-stable nation into a totally dysfunctional one.<\/p>\n

He’s right in saying that Danielle Smith is the only one finally acknowledging that things aren’t working, and is trying to reverse some of these pad idea.<\/p>\n

It’s still not enough to save Alberta, we need to divorce ourselves from the rest of Canada and their bad ideas.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
