They'll start taking about it again in three years in time for the next provincial election. They know beyond any doubt that it's a dumb idea but it whips up their base and that's all that matters to them.

First decision of common sense the UCP has maybe made.

Quietly letting it drop after the election?

Saying it's still on the table so they can grab more headlines next election?

I hope common sense prevails.

Lol it's Alberta, let's not get too carried away.

Considering how unpopular this was with everyone, and that includes their base, I can't say as I'm surprised.

Now to see if they follow through on pulling out of the Canada Pension Plan.

Thanks. I thought the numbers at the end of the URL might be tracking information so I stripped it. I thought I tested the new link but... I dunno.

At least Lemmy lets you edit a post link, so I was able to fix it.
