From her statement...
"That is a reality and a dilemma in public life. It is necessary to be bold and confident, but there is always reluctance to look ahead and to face challenges as well as opportunities. It is easier to look back, to what we know and understand. Moving forward is more difficult, particularly in a province as blessed as Alberta.
The work I am returning to now helped me see the world as a place where one should always aspire to do the right thing. I was appointed by the United Nations as one of the Four International Election Commissioners to administer Afghanistan's first parliamentary election. I have had assignments in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Namibia, Uganda, Vietnam, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and the Philippines. I had the privilege of working in many places where people had a choice to look forward or to look back. For them, the past offered no solutions, no prospects for a better quality of life. Whether they liked it or not, they had to embrace change, believe in the future, and find a way to make it better than the past."
God, what a self-centered, ignorant bitch. Even resigning in scandal, she can't help but pat herself on the back. I swear, if I saw her in person, I'd use many bad words, but one very bad word in particular.
