Rank how you feel about these folks:

Mine:

Trump (despise)
Notley (dangerous, mostly incompetent but likeable, get her out asap)
Trudeau (neutral, slightly negative, could be worse)
Nenshi (neutral, slightly positive, starting to overstay his welcome)
That's an odd list of people to rank. It's like your trying to imply that because Trump is terrible all these leaders are terrible.

Trump - dangerously incompetent powered by a Party that is actively trying to make the rich richer at the expense of people's lives

Notley - run of the mill incompetent. (Paying people to change light bulbs) but not as bad as people think.

Trudeau - Solid ally for Alberta Oil, his speeches give Alberta the political cover to enact a carbon tax that barely touches the industry and approve pipelines, needs to cut spending though.

Nenshi - Policy wise I agree with most of what he does. He needs to shut up though when he's wrong. Solidly back his method of negotiating with the flames.


With Speer for the cons seeming like an idiot it will be tough to vote against Trudeau in the next election. Chabot is not an alternative for Nenshi, and you just know the wild rose are going to screw up the unification vote. So in the case of 3 of the 4 the alternatives are not better right now.

With Trump anyone or anything is better.
