[A Formerly Proud Canadian]

The Progressive Conservative government of Alberta, lead by Premier Jim Prentice, has just called an election for May 5. Though called 'conservative', they are more like Liberals in the Province. Obviously, they expect oil prices to remain low for at least the next 18 months otherwise, they would not have called an early election.

Forty four consecutive years in power for one party is a bad thing. The crony capitalism in this Province is ridiculous. The Wild Rose Party is still attempting to recover from its leader and many members defecting to the PCs, but hopefully, it can win enough seats to at least create a minority government in the Province.

44 years and its still more liberal than we are

I still cannot get over how the members Wild Rose Party within the legislature just folded up & joined the P C caucus a few months ago now.
