Just in case anyone was thinking Brian Jean is the visionary future leader of Alberta. I'd encourage everyone to write Mr. Jean and let him know what you think of this.

Now I'm in a quandary.....never voted anything but right wing all my life but I strongly agree with the Ndp direction in the Castle and wish they would expand it.

Well, even though I'm one of those socialist lefties I'll help you out. First, you can start by writing a letter to Mr. Jean as one of his voters stating that if he were to roll back all the changes that he would lose your vote. Second, if he does not change his stance and the WRP merges with the Conservatives you can buy a membership and support another leadership candidate - one who will not roll back the changes. Third, if you haven't already, fill out the survey stating your support for the changes. If the majority of the people who fill out the survey support the changes then no politician in their right mind would continue to say they'll roll them back. If all that fails I guess I'll see you at our next meeting, comrade :D

^ What this socialist scum said.

 

Jason Kenney has started the process of unifying the two right of centre parties. I've had some great conversations with Jason about this topic and he's more interested in a thoughtful approach on this issue. Brian seems more interested in parroting what OHV groups tell him to say. There are going to be lots of opportunities for conservatives to make their mark on this issue - let's just hope the mark is a positive one.

I think you'd have to be pretty naive to think the NDP will secure a second term. I'm planning on doing what I can to shift the conversation within conservative circles to a place where better stewardship is a point of priority.

Based on? your hopes?

Don't be so sure that there aren't a whole bunch of us lefties who think that at least two terms are needed to accomplish much.

I'd be hard pressed to see another NDP mandate, there was a lot of anger votes that went there way, that wont in the next election..

 

Hoping they at least realise that, and dont give easy-outs to the next party on things like the Castle. They're already backtracking a litle too far for me

Based off objective political analysis. I don't disagree that many changes have been for the better and it will probably take multiple terms to institutionalize some of these changes. That doesn't mean it's going to happen.

TOO POLITICAL!

Correct. Thank you. And amidst all the other messes they will have to clean up, I am hopeful it is higher on the agenda as well. This province needs to quit ignoring the environment and taking it for granted. Responsbile management and resource development is crucial at this point in time.
