All you have to do is look at that photo for your answer: Ranchland, horses, cowboy hat, blue jeans, wire fences, mountains in distance... all that was missing was a pumpjack spewing oil and two guys shooting revolvers in the air to complete the caricature.
Typical garbage from a paper with the audacity to run an article that "Alberta moves to the present" when Redford became our first female Premier. The article itself was sheer stupidity. The Wildrose hasnt even won yet, how can one even begin to predict Election 2016?

I presumed that the party would control the photo used by the Globe in these circumstances. However, as you point out, that may well not be so. If I was wrong (please keep in mind that I refuse to admit that I was wrong unless forced to in the face of overwhelming evidence!), I will happily take back my criticicms of the photo and patiently await another opportuntiy to criticise the Wildrose Alliance.
