Thats thier right to vote for whoever they want, They're not in anyway being forced to vote conservative at all. Nobody is going to show up at someones house with pitchforks screaming for their head. Thats the idea behind a secret ballot.

I'd say that Liberal results in this province prove that wrong. They've decreased over the years instead of increased, that means they're bleading voters by not engaging.

Sure doesn't sound like attempting to put in meaningful dialogue, when both Ignatieff and Dion put it in their platform and it was followed by angry premier statements saying hands off. If its in their election plank then they intend to implement it without consultation at a provincial level.

In all honesty, I do believe that they are starting to do nothing in the Province. However, I believe this is a symptom rather than the problem. We've simply become a lost cause.

Then if they've given up on the province and refuse to engage the province then whats the point of voting for them, blind faith that if you vote for them they'll give you some crumbs doesn't sound logical.

No thats not Alberta's problem thats your friends problem, and I find that to be a lame excuse.

No, what I said was this:

They don't bend over for Alberta at all, and they don't care, You even said it yourself, they've given up on the province, which means they don't care about voter results, and they're not attempting to do anything to get a beach head of breakthrough.
