...the inevitable

[Horse]

I dont want to sound like I am the only one paying attention but just how does one get change in politics when all the old guard take the stand they do all the while with thier head up thier you know what, As for dining who left politics and sat on the board for trans alta just after dereg and the trans alta fiasco in south america.
One thing about him we wont have to wait to see how crooked he is.

horse, I don't think that Dinning will get the rural support, with the exception of the areas close to Calgary. Ted Morton is a credible candidate with a mind of his own, he may finish a lot higher in the vote than many people think.
Oberg is a scary thought, he wants municipalities to borrow money to build bridges on primary highways, then hope like hell the government pays them back !! Our local MLA has been spewing the same idea.

Regardless of whether or not Dinning wins, he will have to give both Stelmach and Morton a fairly good cabinet post and they will have some clout. As it stands now, agriculture is not on anybody's agenda even Stelmachs with the exception of making the usual comments about how the government supports Agriculture etc.

Well horse personally I never vote for the Tories(except Ralph the second time out)! I have never voted Liberal or NDP in my life and never will.
My own MLA is pretty much useless in spite of being a so called cabinet minister...which sort of proves you could run a fence post as a PC in Alberta and still win!
So for me it will be a vote for the "radicals"...read that as the Alliance!
Probably a waste of time but I value my right to vote a protest!
All I ask from any government is to be fiscally prudent and decent managers...which seems to be a pretty big wish list in Alberta and Canada!
