Leopards ate their face?
92% of ~~votes cast~~ ridings won in Alberta this past federal election went to conservatives.
And we know that conservatives don't want pharmacare, disability support, aid for the homeless, childcare benefits, or anything else that would make life just slightly more survivable for certain demographics.
edit: for accuracy
Just to be clear, no, 63.5% of Albertan votes in the federal election went to conservatives. I agree with the rest of your statements though.

Yes, but since our current elections are based on ridings, conservatives were handed 92% of those seats.
But no matter what metric we go by, we're still talking about a majority of Albertan who chose this.
You say "yes, but" - your literal statement was:
Votes cast ≠ ridings won.
Reality is FPTP is cancer.
My OP has been edited for clarity. There's no need to continue arguing over this point, since we're still talking about the majority of Albertan voters allowing over 90% of their ridings to go to Conservatives.
