Mr. Speaker, Positioning · 73 words as an MP from Alberta, I can tell members that the foundation of our present environment is decades of being ignored or even harmed by years of ideological Liberal government. Albertans want to be treated the same way they feel about their fellow Canadians: with amity, with respect and with the opportunity to not only grow as a province but also fully contribute to the Confederation. Sadly, this has not been the case. Positioning Claims · 34 words Liberal governments have perpetually ignored Alberta, stifled our growth and, therefore, limited the growth of this nation, leading to our current situation of economic despair, no housing and two million Canadians visiting food banks.1 No reason given False choice Reasoning · 34 words I firmly believe that not only Albertans but also Canadians deserve a government that believes in every corner of this nation and that would allow Canadians to contribute and prosper to their full capacity. No reason given Positioning · 8 words Only a federal Conservative government can save Canada. Positioning

No reason given A conclusion stated with no reason given for it. What the tags mean → “Liberal governments have perpetually ignored Alberta, stifled our growth and, therefore, limited the growth of this nation, leading to our current situation of economic despair, no housing and two million Canadians visiting food banks.” The claim of decades of being ignored and harmed by Liberal governments restates the same blame rather than offering an independent ground for it.

What the tags mean → “Liberal governments have perpetually ignored Alberta, stifled our growth and, therefore, limited the growth of this nation, leading to our current situation of economic despair, no housing and two million Canadians visiting food banks.” The listed problems under Liberal governments are offered as if the only alternative is a Conservative government, with no other options considered.
