Well yeah, I mean, they had probably planned to get new AR-15s with that money. Now they have to waste it on their kids.

You know this is a story from Canada, right?
But I was voting for policies that would hurt other people, not me!!!
That will never not be funny
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.
Because it's extremely easy to convince people to make conservative decisions, but they have to actually be paying some level of conscious attention to get behind progressive ideas.
people really hate being warned about the consequences of their actions.
"you can do whatever you want, and we'll tell you it’ll be ok" will never not win votes.
OP needs to change the title. We don't have a "Democratic Party" in Canada, or even in Alberta.
Apologies my ignorance, I am not from Canada. What do you guys have?
NDP and Liberal parties, which are politically very similar to each other. Closest analogue to them is the US Democrat party but the Democrats in the US are more neolib than either Canadian leftist party - although Canadian politics tends to trail US politics by a few years, so they'll get there lol.

We let Murika test the shit for 5 years then follow suit even though you can clearly see it don't work
FYI for non-Canadians - Alberta is often referred to as the Texas of Canada.
Also, 'Democrats' in this case is referring to the Alberta branch of the New Democratic Party.
Which by national standards is the most conservative NDP in the country.
