If you need a shorthand for the Findlay-era BC Conservatives, they're what happens when SoCred voters are largely shut out of power for a few decades, and spend the intervening years watching Fox News.

When Danielle Smith and the #corruptUCP bitch about the courts, just remember that for most of the last half-century the judges in #Alberta have been appointed by one party state Conservatives (and their Socred relatives before that). 🤷♂️

I'd say you can still find a very faint echo of SoCred thinking in the Western Canadian provincial right wing parties, in that while they are opposed to day-to-day government spending, they're relatively fine with government largesse going to big capital projects, especially if those are roads.

#UCP-MAGA thinks we are THIS stupid.
#UCP are a universe removed from the conservative pragmatism that rooted Alberta with the UFA, SoCred & PC govs. #UCP are ideologues only interested in shouting about problems to tell you whose to blame. They improve no lives & do harm to many. #ableg #abed

Just popping in to say that multicultural was a made in Alberta idea, first pushed onto the national agenda by Socred premier Harry Strom at the 1971 constitutional conference and enshrined by Peter Lougheed in provincial law here, long before the Feds adopted it.

Union organizer and NDP leader Neil Reimer once found himself on a flight with a number of SoCred cabinet ministers. He passed a note up to the pilot that said something to the effect of "if this plane is going down, please do not save it on my behalf."

Worse, he was a socred.

This sounds like the sort of thing you’d expect to hear from a SoCred in 1930s Alberta, or maybe Ireland in the 50s or India under Nehru….

That's a generous view. I'm more inclined to think not. I think the successors of the Socred backroom boys and girls are chomping at the bit

the current "NDP" is more Socred than the "Liberals" who were in power before. That's how fucked up it is out here right now.

The Conservative Liberal Alliance Party(the Clap) is back on the “Baskin Robbin’s 31 favour” BC political menu.
How many parties are now centre and Right centre in BC? I swear I saw SoCred signs in Clinton last election.

At the pace B.C. politics is currently moving, you'll be somehow electing a SoCred government or something by the time the actual election rolls around.

Nor Christy Clark. Having lived under her “reign” in BC, she is in no way, shape or form a Liberal. Out here, she was just a Socred in fancier shoes.

Ahh Alberta. My grandmother joked on her dying day that she was still waiting for Socred funny money from Bibble Bill. (Wodden nickels she imagined)

Correct. We went to SFU together and she “manned” the SoCred table at lunchtime in the AQ. She ain’t no Liberal.
