A couple things I heard today which I found interesting...
* Jessica Chawrun, the PC Alberta Communications Manager, replied to an email stating that the funding for new schools and existing schools is a priority and definitely not surplus dependent. The PCs can't make up their minds on this one and seem to change their version depending on the audience they're addressing.
* I heard tolerance defined today as "requiring us to accept views against which we are vehemently opposed." A dictionary definition suggests tolerance is "a fair, objective, and permissive attitude toward opinions and practices that differ from one's own." Tolerance cannot be acceptance only if it adheres to one's one opinion or worldview. I think Smith's response to Hunsperger reflects this position more accurately than the outrage from Redford.
