Even though I'm a total PC/Conservative supporter, I think 44 years of the same party running the show can lead to some serious bureaucratic 'rot' and a change up was probably needed.... not to mention the Wild Rose + PC vote split was a disaster. It'll be interesting to see how this helps shape the political landscape for the Federal election..... will Alberta be less of a lock federally for the Conservative party? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/canadian-election-tomorrow-may-5#post-2168967 Wed, 06 May 2015 13:17:25 +0000 sunny 2168967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>15 years ago, if you had told me that the NDP would one day win a majority in Alberta I would have laughed in your face! Can't believe that Alberta went from being a super right wing province to electing the NDP! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/canadian-election-tomorrow-may-5#post-2168807 Wed, 06 May 2015 10:54:05 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 2168807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Alberta!

I voted NDP and was optimistic for an opposition or maybe even minority government... BUT wow. A LANDSLIDE majority. I don't think anyone was really expecting this. </p> <p>I'm cautiously optimistic! </p> <p>From everything I've been reading, people do seem to think it may have an effect on the Federal election. Who knows though, gotta wait and find out, I guess! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/canadian-election-tomorrow-may-5#post-2168390 Tue, 05 May 2015 23:14:03 +0000 Freckles 2168390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Grace: I doubt it- federal election is a whole other ball game. I also don't think people are dissatisfied enough with Harper's PCs for it to change like it did with the Liberals. I'm in major shock about AB though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/canadian-election-tomorrow-may-5#post-2168369 Tue, 05 May 2015 22:45:15 +0000 ALV91711 2168369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow! </p> <p>@Grace: There is a lit of talk about Hiw thus will affect the federal electro. Guess we will find out soon enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/canadian-election-tomorrow-may-5#post-2168352 Tue, 05 May 2015 22:23:08 +0000 Grace 2168352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: Is anyone not shocked?</p> <p>I wonder if Alberta going NDP will have an effect on the federal election. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/canadian-election-tomorrow-may-5#post-2168348 Tue, 05 May 2015 22:19:31 +0000 Freckles 2168348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: Are you shocked??? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/canadian-election-tomorrow-may-5#post-2166968 Mon, 04 May 2015 20:58:40 +0000 .twist. 2166968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: Thanks! I've read that article, it is totally informative. :) </p> <p>lol. Canada. So apathetic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/canadian-election-tomorrow-may-5#post-2166764 Mon, 04 May 2015 17:03:18 +0000 Freckles 2166764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: this is a great site that breaks down the parties: <a href="http://www.thecanadaguide.com/political-parties" rel="nofollow">http://www.thecanadaguide.com/political-parties</a></p> <p>They are similar in that they are both socially progressive. I identify more with the Liberals because they believe in free markets and aren't as anti-corporation as the NDPs have been known to be. NDP has definitely changed over he years though...and I'm hoping people don't see them as a party to be afraid of. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/canadian-election-tomorrow-may-5#post-2166736 Mon, 04 May 2015 16:26:25 +0000 .twist. 2166736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: Ha! So, I'm not the most politically savvy person around, so please correct me if I'm wrong, but don't the Liberal &amp; NDP have similar ideologies? I have taken the political compass questionnaire and I seem to end up in a pretty liberal position, but from everything going on, I am really fond of the NDP right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/canadian-election-tomorrow-may-5#post-2166731 Mon, 04 May 2015 16:22:20 +0000 Freckles 2166731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never thought I would say this (coming from Liberal ON) but I'm really hoping for a change to orange in this province!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/canadian-election-tomorrow-may-5#post-2166684 Mon, 04 May 2015 15:38:14 +0000 .twist. 2166684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hey fellow Canadians! </p> <p>It's that time, only a year early, to vote! How are you all feeling about the election this go around? Are you voting? Are you confident in your political parties? Let's have a discussion! </p> <p>Here are the latest poll results as far as who might take the majority government after tomorrow. From the polls, it looks like we are going to have some major changes from PC to NDP. </p> <p><a href="http://www.tooclosetocall.ca/2015/05/final-alberta-2015-projections-ndp.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.tooclosetocall.ca/2015/05/final-alberta-2015-projections-ndp.html</a></p> <p>I'm, probably, overly optimistic right now. :D </p>
