From what I understand the Wildrose Party has done really well with getting enough money. In fact they set records last year IIRC.
I didn't get to watch the speeches, but from reading your posts I'd venture a guess that she was being a politician tonight. Which I guess is to be expected.
Either way the Wildrose will get my vote. I'm sick of the PCs, or the way the current party runs things, and even if they change something I think they need to be kicked out to force out the big government idiots that seem to have infested a party that was relatively easy to support in the past.
It is too bad that so many people are caught up in the 'right-wing' craziness that seems to come up from the idiots down south. I think a socially liberal, financially conservative party would do well in Alberta. And I think because of our oil money a party that calls itself financially conservative could even spend a lot more than other fiscal conservatives would deem acceptable.
Hell, because so many 'social' issues are federal in nature, just about ANY socially liberal party could easily make it. They don't even have to be socially liberal. Just take a hands off approach to a lot of stuff simply because the federal government should be mandating it. I know that goes against my belief that power should be pushed to the provinces, but issues like gay marriage, abortion, education charter, health care charter need to be handled by the feds.
