I don't like this WRA policy to basically legalize hate speech in the name of protecting free speech rights. Groups like the Aryan Guard can already go out and say horrible things and spread hate as long as they choose their words wisely, do we really want an Alberta in which there are no limits on free speech whatsoever?
In every other way, the WRA seems like they will basically replace the PC's. Smith will probably be pretty incompetent as well. I have met Dr. Swann multiple times and I think he's a stand-up guy, but I don't think he would do a better job of leading the province than the other candidates (although I guess we don't know who the Tory candidate is just yet). I will not vote in the upcoming provincial election. It's unlike me, but I can't bring myself to give half a crap about any of these guys.
