What's the Matter With Canada? HOW THE WORLD'S NICEST COUNTRY TURNED MEAN.

Our Member of Parliament is always front and centre prior to an election, but due to the lack of interest in this election he and any candidate for that matter are nowhere to be seen.
There isn't enough interest locally to arrange a candidate's forum !!
Some local beef producers, myself included, sat down with our MP last spring to discuss the crisis in the beef industry, and his response was that it was just a market correction ! The Conservative party protects their MP's by making it very difficult for anyone to challenge them for a party nomination, so getting new blood in the party is difficult until members retire.
I don't think any of the opposition parties offer us a better choice so I guess Conservatives will rule once again in Alberta. If the party doesn't make too many more gaffes I have a hunch they will end up with a slim majority Canada wide.

I would like to make a correction to your original post Farmer's Son. The Liberal are not a Left Wing Party, they are a Centrist Party. "Campaign like New Democrats and rule Like Conservatives." There is only one serious Left Party, the New Democrats. The Greens are also Centrist on all but, the Environment. If their is one thing I know almost as much about as Landowner rights its politics; that's why I am apolitical, I vote on the single most important issue to me at the time based on the party or the candidate's position on it. This time its global warming so it makes me an ABC voter; Anybody But Conservative. I don't like their Ag. policies much either, but thats secondary.
