Being an immigrant from another province where 3 parties have run the province in the last 20 years and 4 (or was it 3...) different premiers from the same party in 10 years, I don't have too much faith in any elected official at any level. The next always seemed to be worse than the last...or a better liar, as it may be. Same thing happened here as in BC, Stelmach wasn't elected by the people just like Ujjal Dosanj and Glen Clark if memory serves me right.
Don't get me wrong, I vote...therefore I can bitch
