Correction Tom, Alberta's first woman Liberal Premier. The province will now have a clear choice between Redford and Smith.

Malta,

Alison is a true 'Progressive' but too proud to admit this. Last night she said the Conservative word... very pointedly.

Now we have an NDP government in AB.
Let's get an election on and install
premier Smith.

Now is the time to get rid of ALL of those who supported Gary Mar including our own MLA Lloyd Snelgrove. Remember this at the local nomination meetings before the next election. The PC party in Alberta needs a good shake-up...out with the Old Boys Club and in with some new blood.

Tom, I think you've got the capitals in the wrong
place again.
Shouldn't it be alison <b> RED</b>ford?

Ms. Redford has made a lot of spending promises? Education, healthcare, AISH, arts and culture......all worthy causes I'm sure, but where will the money come from?
Governments don't make money....they take it from you and me! More spending=more taxes?
With the world going into a global recession demand for our commodities will fall, unemployment will increase and the tax base will shrink? So where will all the extra money come from for this increased spending?
Allison Redford has her work cut out for her!

[Burbert]

FINALLY, a breath of fresh air, for STALE
old Albertie. Maybe the old fat boys club
will disappear inta the wood work. What a
fine, fine choice for the PC's ta make, at
a time when real CHANGE is desperately
needed. Congrats to Premier REDFORD!!!!

RE: policy

Pretty well a "boiler plate" set of policy objectives which could be adopted by any political party or candidate.

No meat...just 'potaters'.
