So I wonder what it would take for people to consider the Liberal Party provincially. As I've argued fairly well in other threads, the days of the stereotypes of conservatives cutting taxes and saving, and liberals taxing and spending, are far gone. The Redford government being one of the biggest examples of this actually. Cause I don't like this story but I was ready to throw in the towel with this government 3 months after they were re-elected anyway. But the Wildrose just don't seem ready to lead, or even have enough experience to be effective. It's not some of the crazy right wing things they've said and done which scare me the most, which were bad enough. But, in looking at their platform it became apparent that they have NO CLUE how a budget works. Promising all these crazy things, and yet saving money?

Unfortunately I think we've got too many Sun reading voters in this province that still think right wing = fiscally sound derp derp, left wing = tax and spend derp derp.

I'm not even sure the terms right and left wing really apply to any of the parties in a fiscal sense anymore to be completely honest.
