Jim Lahey Posted May 14, 2011 Report Posted May 14, 2011 I'm a fiscally conservative guy and I don't like Alberta's tories. In theory, I'd like a different center-right party running the province, but I'm not too sure if the Wildrose Alliance is a good choice. They're heavily criticized by the media, but I think Edmonton's newspapers are garbage (especially the Journal). I'm having a hard time finding out their real policy ideas online, I was wondering if you guys might have any insight. I don't want anything too far right... not yet anyways, I'm still University. My father, who isn't the most reliable source, says that they speak for the rural population and will help them at the expense of Edmonton and Calgary. I don't trust small towns, and farmers in particular. In Alberta, I think health care and education are quite fragile... health care especially, so I don't want anyone too far right damaging those institutions. In general, I'm a big fan of high taxes and extensive government services because I'm a cocky jerk and like to think that Albertans don't need hand-outs from the governments to get by. Thanks for any input. Quote

MiddleClassCentrist Posted May 15, 2011 Report Posted May 15, 2011 Troll time. Yeah, Jim is just another Controll. So many of them around... Good lefty trolls are few and far between because the con-trolls just duck out of any debate where facts are brought up. Quote Ideology does not make good policy. Good policy comes from an analysis of options, comparison of options and selection of one option that works best in the current situation. This option is often a compromise between ideologies.
