Let's be honest
Politics is not a favorite topic.
But there are some very important things we need to chat about.
Grab a coffee, and let's talk!
Politics affects everyone
Over the last several years I have uncovered two reoccurring themes:
1) Almost everyone hates 'the government', more to the point, politicians
and,
2) Many don't know which politician or level of government does what.
Here is a quick review!
Hate the government? Which one...?
Municipal
Provincial
Provincial
Mayor and Council
Provincial
Provincial
Provincial
Premier and Member of the Legislature (MLA)
Federal
Provincial
Federal
Prime Minister and Member of Parliament (MP)
So what is the problem?
Well...
There are several problems that, for the most part, can be boiled down to three main points:
1) As part of the British Commonwealth, the Westminster System of government (which we are under) hails from the monarchy and, therefore, is very top down. That does not sit well with most Albertans.
2) To maintain power, Ottawa favors the east over the west. That isn't a complaint, it's just a fact backed by 120 years of proof.
3) The federal government always refuses to stay in its lane, or even do its job properly.
Many will say "okay, lets fix it!" Except the Canadian system of government is working exactly as it was designed to. How can we fix what isn't broken?
