I messaged my babes

[Hopperbin]

I said I grow wheat In a clean environment of western canada. Non gmo. Not sprayed with glyphosate. I ask for if there is a market let me know. Apparently they are not in the marketting of food.

[Hopperbin]

So I told her to clean the dust out of her house.
She told me to clean my house.
I told her to clean her house I said first.
I lost

[blackpowder]

I can guess what you're after and it likely has nothing to do with wheat.

Hopper, how can you be sure she isn't the result of some Aryan type experiment where she was conceived in vitro and implanted into a surrogate mother then put up for adoption when the funding got cut? Check out her genes.

[Hopperbin]

The geans gets us in trouble or keeps us alive. Hey we are off topic.

[Braveheart]

Why worry about it if you're moving to MB? You'll soon get more political drama here.

[BreadWinner]

Dreaming about the NDP in alberta is almost as real as the tooth fairy!!! I can't stop laughing at you lefties drooling over these poles. NDP getting in would be like Texans voting for gun control. Lol

Braveheart, I'm not worrying about it I'm interested in politics and concerned about the effect of politics on peoples lives. I may be moving from AB but we have friends and family here who will be affected.

I'm also keenly following the UK election to be held on Thursday which looks to be a sea change in Scottish politics with the SNP looking like they will take most, if not all seats. Talk about lunatics taking over! I'm concerned for family and friends potentially affected by such a change too.

Breadwinner I tend to agree with you, I don't see the predictions panning out for the NDP especially in rural AB. I certainly wouldn't waste a vote on the NDP in this constituency when there are bigger decisions to be made.

That was a worthwhile article all the same - if you can read it with an open mind and not be blinded by "right or left wing" ideology.

A numbers guy.

19 seats in Edmonton. Known result.

25 seats in Calgary. Result less clear. Likely PC but depends on who gets vote out.

Outside Calgary Edmonton - 43 seats. In Alberta Agriville members community. You know better than me.

Soapboxsusan, whoever she might be, has conveniently hand picked the questions.
I doubt enough ridings will go ndp and hope I'm not wrong. Alberta is far more urban paycheck than us hillbillys realize.
Interesting US statistic. Only 6% of private sector jobs are union so not sure if their power isnt overestimated by both the NDP and the rest of us.
Is todays ndp the same CCF that built a wall around Sask? Or can we use Winnetoba as an example. A pent up desire for a voice could lead them to try the more stunned ideas.
Either way thank a Trudeau for no Liberals to vote for. And thank Danielle for destroying any other opposition.
And maybe we deserve the ndp because we allowed the old boys free rein the last decade.

[charliep]

Perhaps the most interesting number in Alberta will be voter turnout. Over 60 %?

Alberta has an election with clear alternatives. Every riding will be fought out one vote at a time - participation is important.

[mustardman]

Majority govts become Arrogant and Entitled.

Albertans need to Stop electing majority govt.

democracy only works well when there is some opposition in govt.
Turf the bastards out and put in someone else but for gods sake don't give them all the seats. That's been done for 44 years and look where it's got you

[rockpile]

I won't attempt to predict the outcome. Despite what the polling firms indicate, the PC's internal polling is giving them 50 to 55 seats. And they've been very accurate in the past. A lot is going to depend on how Calgary votes and the oil patch is in hyper-drive warning of the "Socialist hoard". Personally, the only party that scares me are the PC's if they get re-elected. The biggest thrill for me though is that we are having an election where it's not a given or a slam dunk. Those only happen once in a lifetime in AB.

[mustardman]

I can't help thinking if Peter Lougheed was around he'd be voting NDp
This pc party is SO Far from his roots it's not funny

[rockpile]

I don't understand why no one will just come out and say it. The PC Party is bought and paid for by the elite in the Petroleum Club and the Banksters and the Gangsters! The rest is trickle down economics and by the time it gets to us working grunts, the only oats left to feed on are what's left in the pasture patties.
