Appetite for change...yeah too many Liberals..lol

[Wada]

I hate to say it, but as much as I like Alberta this may be a more than a justifiable reason for letting this province leave our lovely confederation. Do you suppose the dinasaurs in this province have some sway on the political scene?

[ryan29]

well there is now less liberal politicians in canada then there was yesterday , that is a good thing .

lets hope this trend continues . maybe dion's opposition will be the next one to get smaller like what happened to taft in edmonton . looks like voters got tired of an opposition that tired to tell them how bad everything was when in fact things were good .

How come people don't turn up and vote? How can these "dinosaurs" have some sway?


The opposition can't even launch an attack, they started a month before the election was called look what it got them.

You don't live here so you can't offer a justifiable opinion.


Despite what the left wing media tells you outside and inside of Alberta , Albertans are happy.

Thats all that matters.

[Wada]

I'm certainly glad that you are all happy, eh! Why in God's name would I want anything else.

By the way. The next time you feel the need to opine about the eastern part of Canada, remember your post and don't. Should you then I will have to contact my eastern friends in Alberta and have them tie you down and stuff you with jelly filled Tim Horton's doughtnuts until you puke.

As long as I get to "roll up the rim"...I hate Tim Hortons .

And single party democracy continues in Alberta.

Five parties ran...only one had the proper sneakers.


Should we ban the PC because 'they had their turn"?

Funny... there's only 2 parties in BC how come?

Yes, that's right, you heard it from the man. Make sure the Alberta House is 100% Tory! Opposition BAAAAD! Democracy BAAAAD!

It should be noted that there was only a 40% turnout for the election. That means a minority of eligible Albertans voted for the Tories. If there had been closer to 100% turnout, and every one of them was well informed, you probably wouldn't see this happening, and you'd at least have a more even mix of seats, which is much better for a healthy democracy. (Yes, I know it's not going to happen, which is both sad and stupid.)

If somebody would field an opposition in Alberta we might vote for them...you can't vote for a bag of hammers without the handles.

The WRA is an up and coming party and they did get a lot of votes for their first kick at the can.

At that point, it's not really a democracy anymore, is it.

Slightly less than the 40% who bothered to vote are happy. I don't think you can speak for the other 60%.

They have no reason to complain the lazy SOBs.

[ridenrain]

I don't like to see one party win all the time but instead of punishing the party that won, why not ask why the other parties can't attract votes? On one hand we have folks gloating over a decade of Liberal majorities and here their bitching about a decade of Conservative majorities.
make up you're minds.
