The Conservative party now is like what the Liberal party was 30-40 years ago.
Really, they are not as different as people like to think. In fact, people change parties all the time. I'm not going to look it up, but wasn't Ralph Klein even in the Liberal party at one time?
At the risk of offending some people, I personally think that part of the Conservative party's stronghold in Alberta is just engrained into the culture of the province. It has less to do with politcal issues, and more to do with maintaining an institution.
