The benefit could add $200 a month for people struggling. But the UCP government will deduct it from its own support.

    Just to be clear, no, 63.5% of Albertan votes in the federal election went to conservatives.

    Yes, but since our current elections are based on ridings, conservatives were handed 92% of those seats.

    But no matter what metric we go by, we’re still talking about a majority of Albertan who chose this.

      You say “yes, but” - your literal statement was:

      92% of votes cast in Alberta this past federal election went to conservatives.

      Votes cast ≠ ridings won.

      Reality is FPTP is cancer.

        My OP has been edited for clarity. There’s no need to continue arguing over this point, since we’re still talking about the majority of Albertan voters allowing over 90% of their ridings to go to Conservatives.

        Reality is FPTP is cancer.
