Leader Circle

Nobody from the Wildrose intends to have a referendum on something like this. This is just fear monger stuff from the pcaa.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildrose_Alliance Danielle Smith identifies herself as a fiscal conservative and while she believes in libertarian principles,[41] the party is home to many social conservatives.[42] Opponents have attempted to paint the party as being extremist; former Liberal leader David Swann, in congratulating Smith on her election as leader, argued that Albertans would be "uneasy" with the "rather extreme, socially conservative, economically irresponsible vision of the party".[43] Smith stated that controversial social issues such as would not play a part in the party's election platform.[44] Two task forces were created in late 2009 to help build party policy. The energy task force was announced first with the mandate to review the government's controversial changes to the provincial oil royalty scheme and the process for energy transmission, both of which the Wildrose Party argues has damaged Alberta's economy.[29] The second task force was created to scrutinize the pay and benefits of MLAs and government employees.[30] The party plans to launch additional task forces early in 2010, including those focused on agriculture and health care.[45] Election reform is a focus of the Wildrose Alliance. The party proposes to set fixed election dates rather than the current format which allows the Premier to call an election at any time. It would allow more free votes in the legislature and would seek to elect the province's Senators rather than have them appointed by the Prime Minister.[46] The party also plans to introduce a bill giving voters the right to recall their MLA.[47] The Wildrose Party proposes numerous changes to how the province delivers health care, which it claims will remain compliant with the Canada Health Act, as well as controls on government spending.[44] The party is also critical of international climate change treaties, believing corruption and politicization have surfaced in the scientific peer review process, thus climate change science remains inconclusive.[45] Opposing politicians have criticized the Wildrose Party's policies as vague and undefined (including the topic of gun ownership),[48] while supporters have praised the party under Smith as being "refreshing".[44]

The Wildrose are an actual "conservative" party. The PC's are a Liberal type party, lead by a Liberal/NDP type leader!

The latest polls. http://www.electionalmanac.com/ea/alberta/

I think the closer to the election we will see wild swings in the polls. If the scandals following the PC's catch up to them, we might see a shock come election day!

I read that she is some kind of theater actor and just trying to make a name for herself. "All employees of the Senate are expected to serve the institution in a non-partisan manner, with competence, excellence, efficiency and objectivity," Kinsella said. "The incident raises serious security concerns which the Senate will fully investigate."

This stuff is about as useful as the BQ party. While our democracy is flawed, mostly because of the ME generation of selfishness, it is the same in most of the democratic world. What is happening here is no different than what is happening in the US or England. What you are suggesting is foolish and a waste of time. It proves nothing and does not make a difference. My simple statement is: get out and vote for the best party for Canada! Let the results decide. Ignore the BS that the MSM is spouting and listen to the leaders & the local candidates and vote for the one who sounds like they have the best plan. Those who don't vote or leave a blank ballot are fools!

A typical trait of trolls everywhere! I am sure Greg has warned him before!

You're missing August's point. APTN has become(if not always) irrelevant to Canadian TV. Forcing cable/satellite subscribers to have a channel they'll never watch is ridiculous. They know their funding may be in jeopardy so the best way to take focus off yourself and build ratings is to find(or engineer) a PMO scandal!

How about you have some respect. His name is Stephen Harper. Nobody is bashing your leader.

Not really leaving out the Bloc, they would be included into any Coalition that Ignasty forms. It's hard to tell them all apart when they have each others heads up their anuses!!

She just adds one more idiot screaming at Harper. She was rude and interrupted at every opportunity and made no sense during the last debates. She should absolutely be punted from the debates. If she is invited, so should the Rhino party, Marxist party and every other FRINGE party.

Not the meeting I was referring to. The meeting I meant was when the MSM decided how to cover up their bosses"(Ignatief) intentions.

So you WERE at that meeting.

You're distracted people from the CURRENT facts that Ignatief would crawl into bed with anyone who would give him the PM seat. Harper's sins from 7 years ago are irrelevant. You must have been in on the meeting with the MSM when they figured out how to handle Ignatief's latest attempt at Canadian fame!!

It's tough to be the only party who does not have a media outlet who skews the facts to make them look better as the Liberals so obviously have in the MSM. I can't wait for SUN news to start telling some truth in Canada for a change.

I did not like the moderator he seems left slanted to me and when Harper was attacked, which was often, he would let him respond only 1 in 4 times, but anyone else was allowed to respond immediately. JOKE! Also, he asked the question " do you think the Conservatives despise the arts?" or some sh*t like that. WTF was that. He would ask pointed questions that made Harper sounds like the devil! I think Harper did pretty well holding back from lighting the rest up, although I wish he would set Layton in his place. I guess he knew that Layton is not a real threat and the Liberal party is the only threat. Elizabeth May proved to be the freak she truly is, she spouts off about some foreign report about Canada, WTF do the foreigners know about Canada? She talks about Sweden and Germany and they are both aging countries slipping into pure socialism with huge debt and no youth to pay for it. Bad examples that only win the "sypathetic" vote. She talks about the environment like she lives in the forest and recycles her own sh*t for food. She should have been excluded from the debate and sent to a PETA meeting wrapped in mink pelts. Layton is a man about nothing. He plans on spending the EXXON tax cuts on artsy fartsy feel good parties to puff himself up. He has no fiscal common sense and avoids the real truths about the economy. Tommy Douglas would be embarrassed to have his name associated with Layton. Layton needs to go back to selling some cars. Gilles Duceppe is only about Quebec and I would never vote for him, but I like him in the debates. His command of English is better than Dion's and he is good on TV. He has a sharp wit and I enjoy watching his expressions. No point in talking about Dion, he is just a simple joke and the type of guy who would get beat up in high school..LOL. Harper won the debates, but I don't think it will have any affect on the votes. Harper needs Quebec and women for a majority, otherwise, we'll be doing this again in another year with Ignatief vs Harper!!

I agree with you for a change dobb. It will be massive. Dion comes off as a whiney punk and Layton was blasting him every chance he got.

Harper

You be surprised how many people give a DAMN!! IF the Harper want to continue with this war then better make sure the families of the military get the best treatment when either coming in a casket or are injured! How dare the PM say that they would recieved whats REASONABLE!! No way, they get the BEST treatment that money can buy and if he doesn't want to do it that way then he can join the unemployment line because this country will not stand for anything less!! Tell that to your leader!! Well, that being said topaz, would you be okay with spending $50,000 dollars on every funeral? What if the auto workers union was shorted some money to help support that, would that be kosher for you? I'm sure ole BUZZ might not like that. How about the Ontario teacher's union get shorted some dollars to help fund this, bet that would be okay. So don't come here talking shit and think that there is no end to what the gov't should spend on this. If it was no holds barred on funeral expenses, the opposition would still be pissed. Come down off your soapbox and be reasonable. It sickens me that this is the work of some newspaper or scumbag opposition that probably called come of these families to confirm what O'Connor said. What a bunch of ambulance chasers. Truly disgusting, just for some media spin!!

Every screw up that this turnip(Dion) makes...is just a greater chance of Harper getting his majority!! Hopefully Dion will get caught humping a sheep. Maybe he'll step down & let "Mr. bilingual schools Trudeau" take over...LMAO.

Again, how does having 45,000 loyalists help the Conservatives in an election? Versus 5000 Libs....seems kinda obvious right?

Same category as the shooter in Virginia? Yeesh. And I thought Williams overflowed at the mouth. As far as the rest of your rant on the Liberals, Dion has said he would remain committed to the Atlantic Accord. It was the Tories that reneged on that deal. The Tories did not renege on that deal, that is just media spin, but you're a left winger so why would I expect less. Williams is a loud mouth pain in the ass and wants media face time. If Williams was any good, the Newfies would not have 15% unemployment!

Given Williams' popularity, this helps Dion in that province. Williams is a boob who would hump his own sister if he thought it would make him popular. He and that idiot shooter from Virginia Tech are in the same category for me...stop giving these idiots publicity!!! Dion could care less about NFLD, Dion just wants to lead and continue the Liberal tradition of doing nothing for the people, but stay popular while doing it!

Harper might be scoring points with the right wing crowd but it doesn't look great to the casual observer. This justification that the Liberals did so we can do it is not what Harper argued when he was opposition. He said he would do things differently. We saw from day one how he really wanted to do nothing different. Welcome Mr. Emerson. And now Harper's shoot from the lip style shows he really isn't rising about it all. The Liberals lost votes for their stupid campaign style of attack ads. It took some time but eventually regular supporters voted elsewhere. The Conservatives will play to their base and lose the soft vote at some point. Their stock is up today according to Strategic, so maybe it'll gain that "soft vote". Strategic
