Politically Homeless

An individual who feels disconnected from all political parties, believing that none accurately represent their views or priorities. This term often applies to those who feel let down by existing political opinions, finding no party that aligns with their values or vision for the future. This particularly applies to individuals currently living in Alberta, Canada.

Thoughts and Prayers

A phrase often used as an insincere or superficial gesture, implying concern without offering tangible support or action. This phrase is particularly used by public figures and officials, in response to tragedies or disasters.

“During the out-of-control wildfires in Jasper, Alberta, the premier, Danielle Smith, offered 'thoughts and prayers' to those who had lost their homes, but many residents felt this was an empty gesture without any real plan for recovery or assistance."
