New party in Alberta

[GDR]

Never heard of the sacrificial interim leader. So he's a Sunday morning radio bible thumper. Big damn deal.
Certainly dont trust any after the floor crossing. Like Jean. Kenney more sellable to urban.
And ya, bigger city and union voters carry it anyway, but just maybe, the carbon tax extravaganza could sink it.
Ever wonder if some arent jealous of 'rednecks'?

Nathan Cooper is our MLA, prior to that worked for Bruce Rowe's office when he was MLA. I've met with him a couple times and been to a few info sessions he has hosted.

He is young but very eager in the politics world. Pretty down to earth guy, typical party bs but I think is level headed enough to think for himself. He will do fine. I expect to see him go places in his career.

The ndp just grasping at straws, pathetic as always, the anti gay crap was 8 yrs ago when he interviewed a fellow on his radio show at the time in a different job. Really frustrating to me that they call for him to step down over that and also one of Jean's first official comments was about how Kenney didn't attend gay pride events so that makes him a better choice. If gay rights is our one big political issue that's gonna sway the most votes give me a break.

Infrastructure, economy, education, social programs, taxes, administration, government assets, laws, policing. The list is endless of things that affect us all, but wait a minute let's worry if you've forgotten to paint the ****in side walk rainbow colors in front of the constituency office!

GDR, all good points. The NDP will do everything to make the next election about social issues instead of economic issues because they know they will lose big time if the election is about the economy. The chirping about Nathan Cooper by the NDP and in particular Sarah Hoffman is without merit and makes them look desperate. As for the choice between Jean and Kenney, I have yet to talk to someone who likes Kenney.
