Opinion Alberta Election. Just saying!

By Romeo Honorio

The Alberta Election is on May 29, 2023, and the tempo of political campaigns is high and flooding the province. Both parties are actively fielding their operatives to engage and connect with all the ethnic groups in the province.

As expected, one party will be talking about its accomplishments, promises and vision. The opposing one will be spewing all the reasons for their opponents’ demise.

As a concerned citizen, I’d like to share several quotes you may want to digest. You may find it truthful, comical, and insightful.

In every election, your vote counts. Let’s vote with our conscience.

Our vote should reflect our values, beliefs, and character. Just saying. Enjoy!
