Huh?

While I unfortunately agree with the Journals overall idea (uhh, lets vote for the lawn gnome farmer from east of Edmonton to lead this province), the difference between the LRT in Calgary and Edmonton throws that idea out the window.

I dont think any sane person would call Edmonton more conservative than Calgary (present city council aside).

An HSR between Edmonton and Calgary would be the smartest investment decision the Alberta governement would have made since Lougheed started the Heritage Fund. Its just unfortunate that it has taken 33+ years to hopefully come up with the next plausible decision.
