I should hope what happened 25 years ago is not the be-all, end-all for political choice in this country, especially with a generation now removed from that entire incident.

For why I am anti-Liberal is pretty simple I don't agree with any of their positions (if the Alberta Liberals have any position other than the PC's are bad.) I am fiscally and socially conservative. From a background perspective it probably doesn't make sense considering my parents are left wing leaning, I lived overseas while in Junior High and attended a Swiss boarding school. Not exactly the red neck upbringing that I tend to get accused of when people hear my political views.
Honestly I never heard much about the NEP growing up so that didn't play a role at all in my dislike of the Liberals.
