    That vote increases funding to the area for progressive outreach and causes. You won’t change the entire province with a wole new order but you are part of showing that Alberta isn’t a lost cause to the left.

    Seriously, this shows left wing lobbiests, charities, politicians, etc. That they can do something in the province. In the end all it may mean is easier access to insulin pumps or less cuts to medical services but that definitly matters.

    It’s easy to look at the big picture and grow hostile but your vote does matter.

      I understand what you’re saying, but a 50 point margin is definitely in “lost cause” territory.

      I do try to remind myself when seeing results like this that there are still thousands of people who aren’t inbred hicks though.
