I think this really is it. It would be naive to think that the PC party, which up until this election was the only real right wing option for Albertans, did not have any socially conservative people running as candidates.
I do think the emergence of the WRP would have 'drafted' many/most of those people, especially those at the far end of the spectrum, so if I was a betting man I would say that the concentration would be higher there, but clearly some remain within the PC party.
Even if it boils down to someone not being smart enough to understand what things are appropriate to say during an election campaign, you can still take something away from it.
