VIDEO: How The Left Plans To Win the 2019 Alberta Election
Recently I attended a Progress Alberta event titled ‘Emergency Town Hall: Why Progressives Can Win in 2019’. This event had four notable presenters and I was very pleased that they allowed me to record the event. Personally, I found sessions 3 and 4 (below) on how the left has to respect the United Conservative Party and Jason Kenny to be the most interesting.
The ‘Coles Notes’ version of the night would be:
- Calgary will be the only notable battleground in the 2019 election
- Alberta is far more left than presented in the media
- Jason Kenny is a machine that must not be underestimated
- The left has a natural role in governing that is not understood or accepted by the general public
- Conservatives own the media, including social media
- I find it amusing that every side thinks the other side controls the media
- The center cannot consistently win elections, which could be extended to ‘people need a common enemy to rally around and that means left or right’
