That's the verdict of Calgary Sun columnist Paul Jackson, in a column he wrote on April 1, 2007:
Why now? I just happened to stumble across this journalistic masterpiece, and found it funny. Besides, given the positions of the Alberta Liberal Party and Alberta New Democrats on federal-provincial issues, Jackson's comments are totally justifiable.Back to Alberta and our 36-year rule of the Progressive Conservatives.
Isn't it about time it's over?
Is it not time we got some fresh blood, and some new ideas at the Alberta Legislative Assembly?
Well, I don't think we are going to get any out of Premier Ed Stelmach and his team.
So what's the alternative?
Where is Alberta's Mario Dumont and ADQ?
It's certainly not Kevin Taft's zany Liberals -- every one of them gristle from ear-to-ear.
It's not Brian Mason's socialist New Democrats -- every one a bonehead.
What then, has happened to Hinman and the Alberta Alliance, which under former leader Randy Thorsteinson, hauled in 9% of the vote in the 2004 provincial election.
Where have they gone to ground. And why?
Have a pleasant day.
