Alison Redford, former Alberta premier, resigns as MLA

Back to the UN , the favourite Liberal hang out.

I thought you said you were from Alberta. She's a Progressive Conservative. Thanks for the offer, but you can keep her.

What a disappointment she (and her party) are.

With luck Albertans will be smart enough to toss the lot out in 2016 and avoid letting the Wildrose boobs take their place.






Not the sharpest knife in the drawer are you JJ?

Redford should have been held accountable by the voters in 2016 but that right was taken away from her own party and those behind the witch hunt that brought her down. Now everyone's looking to Danielle Smith and besides being Fucking Hot unless she can turn water into wine she's no different.

Worst politician in Alberta's history. And one of the worst in Canada's history, almost as bad and slimy as that gaggle of crooks passing the Adscam cash around that Jean Chretien surrounded himself yet. Odds are that Redford had to abandon the severance pay because the PC's will need to use it to reimburse the taxpayer for all the costs of the flight shenanigans.

Another thing not mentioned, yet, is that the $10 million paid to a law firm that had her ex-husband as a partner to go after the tobacco companies is also under RCMP investigation as well. I've never seen anything in my entire life as an Albertan like what Redford did in her three years in charge. Not even the Principal Group debacle or any of Klein's bozo eruptions were as bad as what Redford's done. Truly disgraceful and it'll take a long time to recover from it.

In the game of political corruption she is still an amateur compared to the provincial Liberals in Ontario.

...and as usual, we get "the other guy/party did it first or worst" argument.

Standard fare for ANY political discussion.

By Alberta standards this is probably the worst it's ever been, judging by how the current interim premier is seriously thinking about calling in the Mounties on the activities of the former premier.

The difference being that I'm not even remotely defending her actions. She is probably the worst in Alberta history but still not in the same league as McLiar, Wynne and their thieving ways.

The best days were of King Ralph as he was Alberta's Rob Ford, you knew what you got unlike Redford who was a Diva and should have been held accountable by the voters not run out of office by a witch hunt.

Sorry, but no.

The best premier was Lougheed - and Klein can't hold a candle to him.

Lougheed created the Heritage Trust Fund and began saving for the future, while Klein raided it constantly to keep taxes low and pissed away our resource royalties to pay for election promises. And that's not even counting his bozo eruptions like throwing change at the homeless or treating people on AISH like crap.

Redford is undoubtably the worst premier we've had since Brownlee (maybe ever), but Klein was a disaster too. He only survived as long as he did because he was a redneck like many here in Alberta.

He's a conveniant Canadian mopping out a Taco Bell Arizona. The first time he shits himself when a concealed carry walks by, he'll be calling for an RCAF pick up faster than a Palistinian Canadian!

So, today the AG report on her spending will be released. Premier Hancock got a look at it yesterday, which is why he said the RCMP should investigate, and the CBC saw parts of it last week. Which is why this whole mess started to begin with.

About time Alberta Politics got interesting.
