It shouldnt be difficult to run this province. we have enough money to do whatever someone would want. Klein wasnt perfect, but he was Winston Churchill compared to what we have now.

This is pretty much the opposite approach that Swann is going to take. If that is what you are looking for then Swann is the wrong guy for the job.
Nehkara- I am not sure you are ever going to find that alternative in Alberta because, as much as Slava will try to have us believe, there just is not the support for the type of party that you want in Alberta.
We constantly see it in provincial and federal elections that Albertans do not support left leaning parties.
Even with the terrible job that Stelmach did during his leadership campaign, the election campaign and since he has been in office the fact that he has the Conservative name is enough that he will enjoy big majorities.
