I like Ed, I have met him several times over the years, on business and at party functions. I think he will serve us well.
I do hope that Morton plays an integral role in the new cabinet.
His talk of reworking the RCMP role in Albrta is not an issue of the RCMP not being a good force....it is about about the disproportionate amount of funding Alberta makes to the Federal force. Que has its force, as does Ont. This has been part of the reform debate and was a prov PC issue back when the bank accounts of Alberta were near empty. How a strong economy hear makes us forget the debates of the Getty and early Klien era and how to deal with a then overwhelming prov deficit...and slow economy..
As an opiion piece so eleoquently put this past summer...."the stone age did not end becasue they ran out of stones"....the bouyant oil economy will not last forever and when it does slow...watch out.....
I would suggest Morton as Intergovernmental Affairs Minister. While 56% in the same poll sunday said Harper has done an excellent job, the liberals will get a bump in the polls with there new leader in Ont and Que as was shown in the other poll.
Morton, though demonized as a radical by the fear mongerers, if working in the Caninet under the big tent leadership will keep some of us more conservative/libertarian members of the PC party from finding a home in the Alliance and splitting the right wing vote to then lend more support for the Liberals.
As a northern farmer I am proud to have another northern farmer running the province. Eddie, like our last premier, will called by his first name and not his last, and I think he will endear himself to Albertans for his sincerity and integrity. As a smart leader I am sure he will surround himself in Cabinet with the help he needs....Oberg, Hancock, Morton, and a lot of other capable MLA's that have been with him since the beginning including Knight, Goudreau and other good rural and urban MLA's from around Alberta....
Good luck Eddie..lead strong and be strong...
