Alberta politics getting interesting

Now that Premier Ed Stelmach has fallen on his political sword, the dynamics have completely changed in Alberta.

If the Tories, as I suspect they will, choose a more genuinely small "c" conservative to lead their party it means the next Alberta election will pit two pro-free market parties against each other.

Just imagine: two parties competing to see who will cut taxes the most, who will make government smaller, who will do the most to protect individual freedoms.

Now that's my kind of election!

And if that does happen it will be because the Wildrose Alliance Party stood up for conservative principles.

In doing so it changed the focus of debate in Alberta.

Yep. Show the other provinces how real elections and campaigns should be won.
Less cat & mouse horse racing and more policy grinding goodness!

Monte Solberg is a dud.

I know the Wildrose Alliance is a free market party. Who is the other one you are referring to? It sure ain't the PC party.

Anyone want to bet that it's the same guy writing "Monte Solberg for premier"?

Despite my jab, Monte WOULD be an interesting choice for premier
