Despite the usual msm (crappy) liberal spin from Yahoo, the PC's have been in power too long, they are from what I read from my Canadian friend "Conservative in Name Only", Wildrose Alliance is the real conservative party in this Albertan Election, and if Wildrose and Danielle Smith pull it off this would be a political earthquake!~
Let's hope it happens.

I’d have to go with Wildrose after the Progressive Conservatives passed a law to regulate private conversations AT HOME between parent and child. (banned parents of homeschooled kids from teaching that homosexuality is a sin)
I am a Texan, but I keep tabs on Israel, South Korea, Venezuela through news and blogs.
I hope they do what the Liberal (conservative) Party in Queensland Australia did the other day
Alberta is the place to do it.
You’re right. I’m on my local constituency board and was VP of communications for the Wildrose party as a whole shortly after it got up and running.
It’s more analogous to the old federal Reform party which is now much watered down as Harper’s Conservatives.
Wildrose is just common sense conservative, whereas the provincial Progressive Conservatives are, indeed, CINO’s - the new leader, Redford, actually said she wants to change the province to, basically, make it less conservative and more palatable to the elites in other parts of the country and the world.
Nothing else needs to be said.
Well, that and she has a glass jaw and is a typically liberal hypocrite - saying she wants to take the high road in the campaign and then going negative immediately, with misleading info about Wildrose. Danielle apparently said Redford doesn’t really like Alberta much (hence her wanting to change it into her version of what it should be), and the howls of outrage were immediate and loud.
They also ran the first negative ad, claiming that because Wildrose will repeal a .05 “impaired” driving law that allows for police to convict you on the roadside with no presumption of innocence (and that’s the part, not the drinking and driving part, that Albertans object to), spinning it as “Wildrose is okay with drunk driving.”
You can just about smell their fear. It’s delicious! And it’s about time!
cheers,
