FYI for non-Canadians - Alberta is often referred to as the Texas of Canada.
Lmao my town is in an uproar because there is no bussing for the high school, but my town literally voted to disincorporate (and won!) rather than pay a double-digit yearly increase on their taxes… to pay for bussing.
More and more it seems like people just don’t want to help pay for services that are extremely helpful. Yet when those services are removed, they get all uppity about it. It’s just like brexit. Stupidity on a massive scale.
As someone who lives in red deer, yup, sounds about right.
My fellow Red Deerians are political illiterates. My one friend works in admin for schools here. Or at least, she used to, but she lost her job after the party she furiously badgered everyone to vote for got in and cut the funding at her school, targeting administrators. Which they ran on.
It was the most Red Deer thing I ever saw.
Well i call it a win for childless
They didn’t cut the taxes bruh, they just started pocketing it instead of spending it on children. Everyone loses here, except for Conservative politicians.
