If you look at the Green Party's record, you will see that they have never run a governmental deficit in the entire history of the party. Nor has the Rhino party. Hence, they must be even more fiscally responsible than the NDP. 
Gotta be a world record for the most times anyone has said "math" in a post.

Even their leader can be cast in that light. (how does your tiny brain parse that he supported Prentice then ran for leadership of a spinoff party?)
Did Brian Jean "change his mind" in the last year? Perhaps the party "changed its spots"? And that's ok with you, it seems.
But someone voted in democratically, for another party that you obviously hate, also claiming to have changed since last year, you don't cut the same slack.
How hypocritical do you appear? Riddle me that, Omega.

Suddenly it dawns on me, how the simple minded justified voting NDP. Ain't life a beeyatch. Obviously I hate? Are you challenging Omega or rugatika? I am confused. Do you need another beer? Perhaps some Mary Jane? Let me know I will be sure to push for the NDP to raise minimum wage so you can afford either or both,finally. Do we have any other NDP voting braggarts in our midst? Please speak up democracy proves you are right.

Data is hard, I know.Especially when it doesn't agree with your bias.
Anyway, you gotta suck it up. The NDP are in, and in 4 years, we'll see where we are.

Well ya I voted NDP, I say this not to brag but also not to hide from the truth. I don't think you need to push the NDP to raise minimum wage, seems they're pretty decided on the matter regardless of either our opinions anyways. It's unfortunate there is so much fear mongering here.

I enjoy you veryvery much Mr Orangeyorangey koolaid guy.
I added the Mr. because it seems that you crave the respect of your peers and I don't want you to feel slighted.
You is kind
You is smart
You is important
Not a riddle

"Challenging" them? No. I'm not in the habit of shouting at mailboxes.
(heh, again with the personal attacks, rather than addressing the argument.... try and ramp it up a notch or two if you're going to try to insult, ok? You're coming across as pretty lame.)
So you're saying only simple minded people choose not to vote for proven incompetence, or for a pack of turncoats?
Given that the NDP platform was close to what Lougheed ran on/implemented in 1971 (oh, wait, no. The venerable Lougheed waited 10 months to bring in his budget) you guys sound like your grandparents, whining about the demise of the Social Credit, and how unsuited the new PC's were.
But hey, if you've got Stockholm Syndrome, no amount of reason or facts will sway you.

Your responses are good.
But you are not user friendly.
That is good.
Your contribution has been similar to what I post.
No answer just observation.
You are a good player.
But I suspect you have burned more than I have.

Hal, I am shallow and weak.
I know my limitations.
As a troll I will post, it is my privilege.
Please respect others.
It’s the internet all can see.
Keep posting.

Many years ago I owned and operated several businesses in Manitoba. When the party in power changed to NDP, we ended up selling our businesses and headed west to Alberta. They can suck money out of the economy faster than businesses could fund them. Maybe a move to Sask!

You all have your opinion as do I but what I don't understand is how some of you can be so ignorant towards the new government but can't acknowledge the crooks that have been in power for so long. Maybe I'm wrong but reading posts on AO lately sure reads like a bunch of whiners.

There is an easy solution don't read the posts and it won't bother you..or if you care to really know investigate what happened to other provinces that had to suffer the orange serge....but I guess its just easier to whinne about the whiners.

If you mean in general political bent, yes.
Why is that relevant?

It's another way of saying 'political philosophy'.
Across the world, there are many different political parties that operate on the basis of different perspectives on the world and society. There is an area of study, called "Political Science" that pertains to analysis of how societies choose to govern themselves.
NDP is the colloquial short form of New Democratic Party, which is used to identify a general political philosophy in Canada, but has national and regional variants. (ie. New Democratic Party of Canada, or of Alberta, etc).
HOWEVER, in other countries, parties with this political philosophy do not call themselves NDP, and instead go by other names.
So, yes, I have lived under the philosophy of the NDP party, but have not lived in an area governed by a party with that name until the last few hours.
I'll be charitable to you and further explain that I didn't find it that tough a place to live. In fact, it seemed to work pretty well. So well, in fact, that I'm supportive of that philosophy here in Alberta as well.

I'm very interested in knowing what line of work you're in - and if there's room (a teat available) there for me ?
I've been contemplating the last few days and have decided that it's about time I take a break (been working my guts out now for over twenty years !! ). I'm thinking about joining the AUPE worker ranks and finding out for myself how the entitled class lives ...
so move over - I'm ready to join the collective, and hoping you'll recommend a BIG JUICY TEAT for me to enjoy the next few years 'cause I plan on taking as much as I can get out of the system for myself and I don't give a truck about what this province is going to look like for future generations - from now on IT'S all about ME and the time is NOW !
Welcome to the new ALBERTA !!
