A Guide to UCP “Conservatives”
With the Lougheed PCs gone the UCP turned elsewhere to fill out their ranks.
They picked up misogynists, homophobes and racists (Charles Adler
calls them the knuckle draggers), the “brand name” conservatives who
think the UCP is an extension of the Lougheed conservatives because they
share the word “conservative” in their names, the victims who’ve bought
into Kenney’s paranoid view of what’s happening in the oil patch and
the me-first conservatives who think Notley has done a good job in
difficult circumstances but don’t like the fact she raised their
personal income taxes and implemented a carbon tax (more taxes!!).
