Right-wing propaganda works by triggering anger using strawmen and half truths. Anger shuts down logic, so people make emotional decisions, join the tribe, and later defend the lie as if it were fact. It feels true because the brain protects the tribe before checking evidence

Right-wing propaganda triggers anger so people react fast, not logically. It uses simple tricks like strawmen, half truths, scapegoating, and fear priming. Once angry, people join the tribe, defend the lie as truth, and stop checking facts. Emotion comes first, logic comes last

Conservatives keep cutting and underfunding health care because they want it to fail and push privatization. When you starve a system, wait times grow. It takes years and way more money to fix the damage. BC even had one of the world’s top systems in the 90s when it was properly funded

Canada loses either way with Poilievre’s stunt. His pipeline motion is not real policy. A yes vote weakens consultation. A no vote weakens confidence. It is a trap designed to divide the country instead of build anything

Private builders slow down when profits dip, so the market alone cannot fix housing. Wab Kinew’s gov steps in where the private sector fails, using tax credits, public builds and nonprofit housing to keep supply growing. Manitoba is getting affordable homes built while others stall

Smith killed renewables to protect fossil fuel profits. The UCP freeze wiped out cheap wind and solar, driving up power bills and shielding gas plants from competition. Alberta lost billions in investment so their fossil fuel friends could keep cashing in

UCP’s tax cuts were sold as job creators but the facts show the opposite. By 2022 Alberta handed oil giants 4.3 billion n they cut more than three thousand jobs, raised executive pay and boosted dividends. Corporations got richer while workers paid the price www.parklandinstitute.ca/job_creation...

Conservatives get many working and middle class people to vote against their own economic interests by making them feel instead of think. When people are angry or scared, they stop asking questions. Slogans replace real policies, emotions replace facts, and voters defend choices that hurt them

Capitalism has been broken and corrupted by right-wing economic policies that reward those who exploit and extract the wealth created by the working class

Alberta is falling behind. From 2014 to 2024 hospital spending per person fell thirteen percent while Canada rose thirteen percent. Staffing and beds dropped. Since 2019 school funding per pupil is down twenty percent. UCP Ministers admit they crushed the teachers strike to hide underfunding

Alberta schools are the most underfunded in Canada. Since 2019 funding per student dropped sharply while enrolment surged, leaving classrooms overcrowded and supports collapsing. The UCP keeps cutting while pretending nothing is wrong. Our kids are paying the price

The UCP pushed private health deals linked to a connected businessman already tied to missing medicine and conflicts of interest. They fired the AHS CEO investigating it, blocked questions, and stonewalled for months. You do not hide this much unless there is something to hide.

A health procurement scandal tied to UCP insiders keeps getting buried. Conflicts of interest, missing medicine, fired officials and months of stonewalling. You do not hide the truth if nothing is wrong. Alberta deserves answers not a government acting like it has something to cover up

Smith passed a law blocking pensioners from suing AIMCo for its reckless 2020 losses and made it retroactive. It overturns a court ruling and shields AIMCo and the Crown from liability. If Alberta leaves CPP, Albertans would have no recourse if their pensions are mismanaged

Private builders slow down when profits dip, so the market alone cannot fix housing. Wab Kinew’s gov steps in where the private sector fails, using tax credits, public builds and nonprofit housing to keep supply growing. Manitoba is getting affordable homes built while others stall

Canada tried Poilievre’s “get government out of the way” model in the 1990s when fed and prov gov's stopped building social and co-op housing. Builds collapsed, rents exploded, homelessness soared and speculators took over. The math is clear: when government stops building, Canadians get priced out

Smith killed renewables to protect fossil fuel profits. The UCP freeze wiped out cheap wind and solar, driving up power bills and shielding gas plants from competition. Alberta lost billions in investment so their fossil fuel friends could keep cashing in

Jason Kenney killed a forty four year coal ban in the middle of COVID and Danielle Smith quietly revived it after the election even though most Albertans oppose new mines. Their job claims are false, selenium risks are real and it looks like the UCP sold out Alberta to wealthy coal interests

UCP’s tax cuts were sold as job creators but the facts show the opposite. By 2022 Alberta handed oil giants 4.3 billion n they cut more than three thousand jobs, raised executive pay and boosted dividends.

Admiral Alvin Holsey retires after reportedly facing pressure for questioning the legal basis of Caribbean strikes. A trailblazing four star officer, he chose principle over position by standing for lawful command and constitutional duty. His decades of service and integrity deserve our gratitude

Conservatives get many working and middle class people to vote against their own economic interests by making them feel instead of think. When people are angry or scared, they stop asking questions. Slogans replace real policies, emotions replace facts, and voters defend choices that hurt them

Capitalism has been broken and corrupted by right-wing economic policies that reward those who exploit and extract the wealth created by the working class

Mockler: It's honestly humiliating that other countries are treating our president like a child, like a baby. It's like if I created a peace prize and I gave it to myself. I'm like, I'm just going to keep this medal on all night. Our president is an actual child

Garbage collectors create real value by keeping cities clean, safe, and livable. Wall Street speculators mostly shuffle money without producing anything we need. Yet the ones adding real value earn very little, and the ones moving paper around get rewarded the most evonomics.com/why-garbage-...

Norway used left wing economics to tax oil properly, keep public ownership, and save for its people, building a two trillion dollar fund. Alberta took a right wing path, kept royalties low, let corporations take most profits, and saved almost nothing for its citizens

Norway and Alberta had the same oil opportunity. Norway taxed profits properly, kept public ownership, and saved the money, building a $2T fund. Alberta extracted more oil but saved almost nothing because governments kept royalties low and spent it. Equalization wasn’t the barrier our choices were

One admiral refused an order he believed was illegal and resigned after 40 years. Another carried it out, insisting it was fine, and is now under investigation for doing exactly that illegal act. Now the first is called back to testify as the fallout rolls downhill onto everyone in the chain.

Fraser Institute data shows Alberta fell from third to last in per-student funding, with real cuts of 15 percent while other provinces boosted support. The UCP froze spending, let costs soar, and pushed education into crisis. Smith keeps claiming she funds schools, but the numbers expose the lie

Smith is handing coal firms $238 million on just $61 million of actual spending because the UCP caved to heavy lobbying from foreign-owned coal companies and their investors. Instead of defending taxpayers, they folded and paid out huge settlements while giving nothing to teachers

Public auto insurance saves drivers up to $2,000 in SK and MB and $1,500 in BC, while Alberta’s private system is the most expensive in Canada. Public or regulated power keeps prices low elsewhere, but deregulated Alberta pays the highest electricity rates. Right wing Policies only help big business

Tanya Fir exposed what the UCP really thinks of teachers and critics. On a leaked voicemail she mocked a respectful constituent and called the next callers “motherf***ers.” This is the same MLA who chose a known bigot as her campaign chair. Shows UCP’s hostility toward anyone who challenges them

The UCP handed a private firm tied to Marshall Smith $30 million in public money while claiming they must cut healthcare. This for-profit outfit runs multiple taxpayer-funded programs with zero transparency. It looks less like recovery policy and more like rewarding political insiders

The auditor general says the UCP blew more than $100 million on a reckless lab privatization scheme, hid records, blocked evidence, and even destroyed documents. This was ideology over facts and taxpayers paid the price. Alberta deserves accountability, not coverups

Alberta is spiralling. A judge ruled the UCP’s separation push unconstitutional. Bill 14 lets UCP block rivals, shield ministers, and control referendums. Now Elections Alberta is probing alleged straw donors tied to Sam Mraiche, whose family holds government roles and wins major contracts

Mike Ellis calls investigations when they help him politically but stays silent on claims of corruption, inflated AHS contracts and wrongful dismissal that may reach the Premier’s office. Albertans deserve answers. Did this pattern of looking the other way extend to his time as a police officer too?

Right wingers swear that taxing the ultra rich or cracking down on speculation will make the wealthy flee and tank the economy. Yet again, reality proves them wrong. Trickle down economics is just taking from workers to protect the wealthy, and the facts keep exposing it

Conservatives avoid real policy debate because their ideas collapse under evidence. So they rely on lies, straw men, loaded statements, half truths and constant anger to keep supporters loyal. When a party depends on emotion instead of facts, it stops being a political movement and becomes a cult

UCP ministers admit Smith broke the teachers’ strike to avoid arbitration because an arbitrator would expose Alberta’s underfunding. After inflation and enrolment, per student funding has fallen about 20 percent since 2019. Smith lied, crushed bargaining rights, and gutted classrooms.

Since 2019 the UCP reversed Alberta’s diversification, cutting efficiency programs, pausing renewables, and doubling down on oil even as agencies warn of a major surplus ahead. By undoing diversification, they left Alberta exposed and helped set up the next oil glut recession which will be in 2026

The 08 crash showed what happens when government “gets out of the way.” The U.S. cut rules and the system collapsed. Harper preached the same, yet Canada was saved by strong Liberal banking regulations he opposed. He benefited from the very rules he claimed were holding the market back

Trickle down economics The UCP squeezed AISH by freezing rates and clawing back income, cutting real support for disabled Albertans while handing billions in corporate giveaways and subsidies to their donors. They took from those who have the least to reward those who already have the most

Conservatives claim Bill 9 censors religion, yet none can name an example that doesn’t involve using scripture to attack another group. Bill 9 targets hate, not faith. The only reason they oppose it is because it limits the extremists they quietly rely on

Every non-partisan report says food prices rose from global supply shocks, climate impacts, transport costs and a strong U.S. dollar. Not deficits. If Conservatives disagree, they can show which expert report says otherwise

Nenshi asked Smith why she hired five relatives of Sam Mraiche, whose companies got huge government contracts, and why she claims she barely knows him. Smith dodged every question. The conflicts of interest are obvious, and shutting down the probe only makes it look worse

Alberta needs an FDR style New Deal policies, relying on one volatile industry keeps the Alberta stuck in boombust. Large public investment in clean energy, housing, tech, and infrastructure would create stable jobs, grow the middle class, attract new industries, and make the economy resilient
