Making life affordable
The Conservatives have offloaded the cost of public services onto the backs of regular people.

Political donations from big oil and other large corporations have a corrosive effect on democracy. Liberals and Conservatives, the primary recipients of those donations, put the needs of these donors ahead of the needs of ordinary families. Alberta’s NDP would put an end to political donations from unions and corporations. (more...)
