Sigurdson is doing nothing except toeing the party line. He is not standing up for agricultural producers and has been a complete failure on this issue.

What party do you intend to vote for in the federal election on April 28?

Have you gone to the CPC website and read their platform and policies? Highly recommend. Smith was not kidding when she said that Poilievre's policies are closely aligned with Trump's.

Any true Conservative would vote for Carney. The reform party running under the CPC banner is fomenting hate and division, and taking advantage of people's post-COVID economic frustration and misunderstanding of how governments should work. Poilievre is hoping that Trump style politics will work in Canada and that all the same people he hates will vote for him if he promises to take away the very supports and policies that make our country strong. We are a sovereign nation and Poilievre and Smith have openly said they want to do MORE trade with the USA, making us MORE dependant on the crumbling nation to the south of us, while PM Carney is out there, boots on the ground (to use PP's slogan) establishing more trade relationships and ensuring our European allies are behind us when it comes to supplying military equipment and support to ensure that we stay Canada Strong.

Why are you living in a community so close to the Alberta wilderness if you're not able to live harmoniously with the wildlife? Don't like the deer eating your flowers, then plant snapdragons or foxgloves, or something the deer won't eat. Alternatively, put up deer fencing around your garden area. If you are not populating your garden with deer resistant plants, you are part of the problem for cultivating attractants and are the sole reason the deer are in your garden in the first place.

Danielle Smith's "Breitbart Moment" when she says that she's spoken with the Trump administration about our election and that Poilievre's policies are most closely aligned with that of Trump may have just been the push that undecided voters in Alberta needed to back away from the federal CPC party even if to just make the decision about who they WOULDN'T vote for. Smith has publicly admitted to encouraging foreign interference in our federal election and certainly hasn't helped Poilievre at all.

We need to vote for our country and I believe that Carney is the best man for the job at this point in history. He understands crisis economics, he has the insight and connections to ensure that we are covered by our EU trading partners, and I like the lack of showmanship but common sense he represents. He's spicy enough to be fun to watch dealing with the media scrum. His comeback to Rosemary Barton the other day when he was doing a presser from Canada House in London and she was drivelling about the non-existent issues with his blind trust was brilliant ending with, "Rosemary, look inside yourself".

If Laura Secord could crawl 20 miles through the Ontario bush in 1813 to warn of an American attack, we can shop local for the duration.

Good grief! Selling this nonsense and cowardly hunting practice as conservation? One of your UCP cabinet ministers is the owner of a guided hunting outfit catering to rich Americans...Conflict of interest, perhaps? Additionally, you've made it legal for 12 year olds to use firearms UNSUPERVISED now. What could possibly go wrong?! The prefrontal cortex responsible for decision-making and understanding consequences isn't fully formed until humans are 25. This entire UCP party is an illustrated exercise in bad decision making in real time. Honestly, it's embarrassing watching what new and corrupt self-enrichment scheme and subsequent self-congratulatory news release we have to plow through face-palming at every move this government makes daily. Disgraceful and shameful "governance" all around with Slithering Smith and her clown car of a cabinet.
