However, dont confuse support for the federal Conservatives as being autmatically supportive of the provincial Conservatives. I am not at all enamoured with Kleins Tories, and unless the next leader can convince me otherwise, my vote in the next election will be going to the Alliance.
However, I would argue that Klein's Tories have generally been good for Alberta, where the Federal Liberals have done more harm than anything else.

You see, the thing is, provincially, the party in power right now is the Progressive Conservatives which really isn't the same as the federal CPC at all. The Alberta Alliance party is probably closer in doctrine to the CPC so, you kind of just ate your own shoe leather there. I'd say you are automatically supportive of provincial *conservatives*, just not Progressive Conservatives.
