I know and that is a common thought even amongst Alberta Liberals. Truthfully though we have been distancing ourselves from the Feds for decades, and where has it gotten us? I am of the mind that we should actually stop pushing them away (if you can believe it!).
I totally believe that after the success in Buffalo last night that we can duplicate this in other ridings next time around. It was labour intensive, and we had to work incredibly hard...but the voter turnout actually increased as a result in that riding! (How many others is that the case in?).
