- Not All Albertans are Conservatives.
Could someone tell both Moore and Butts but especially Moore that some Albertans vote NDP. Today many of us are dead set against separatism and know this is divisive and a tragic rupture for our province. But the record needs to show that Jason Kenney and Danielle Smith have both contributed to this situation. Danielle has much difficulty with the truth and sadly I think she is sowing the seeds for this disruption and Albertans will be left having to pay.

Podcast Addict42 months agoPeter- Keep er’ up!
Truly love this podcast and the shows of Dr. Stein and Friday’s Good Talk. In a world that seems upside down, love this podcast in that it brings consistency in high level of smart dialogue that helps in my understanding of this complex world.
