I know it's not popular in Alberta to say anything positive about the Liberals because of a bad government policy from 30 years ago enacted by politicians who are now either retired or dead, but you have to give credit where it's due. The previous Liberal government did a great job with the economy and budget, work that has mostly been continued by Harper's team (I give him a pass for putting us into deficit spending again because of the recession).

it will be interesting to see if Ignatieff repeats his previous statements that the NEP was a mistake in this campaign with the rise of Trudeau light
Trudeau light is going to be hammered for his mistake on wanting the government to soften language on the brutality of honour killings
