grassfarmer, although we like to think we are rural, we do need to remember that there are urban centres within our constituencies that are made up of many people who do not follow rural issues, or care for that matter.
I think the Premier did make some necessary steps to address the EUB issues, the acting chair cleaned house at the EUB, and overturned the AltaLink decision, so that, in itself showed leadership in my opinion. The
WestEnergy decision at Rocky Rapids is going to the court of Appeal, and if the decision is overturned or found to be flawed in any way by the courts, I would suspect that there will be more changes to the ERCB mandate.
The turnout in the election was dismal to say the least, but it is certainly comparable to the very low turnout and complete lack of interest in the October municipal elections. The people that have issues get out and vote, and one thing for sure the PC party got their vote out this time around.
