All this NDP talk

4. I think that Rachel Notley is intelligent and competent. Several years ago I ran Melissa’s Road Race (Half marathon in Banff). At the start line, I there was a lady beside me and I thought, “Wow! She sure looks like Rachel Notley… Damn! It is Rachel Notley!” Anyway, she had hired a trainer and worked towards running a half marathon at almost 60 years old. She ran a great time too. I was impressed.

To be clear, there are lots of things that I don’t like as well. And a lot of things that I really just don’t know. Like, do certain provincial policies matter when an American president can, with the swipe of his pen, veto a pipeline on his first day in office?

To be honest, I hate how democracies are designed on dividing up the population. It’s the best political system that we’ve made so far, but it’s still a crap system. Perhaps AI will fix that for us in a couple hundred years! Lol! I guess I’m just trying to pick the perceived lesser of two evils.

Fair enough I can’t say I am really in agreement with your points but I didn’t start this thread for a debate. I only wanted to understand the reason people are choosing their stance
