Couldn't agree more. I'd vote for him provincially in a heartbeat. In fact, in the last federal election, the fact that Matt Grant would have been my MP had he won was what really tipped the scales for me to vote for the Trudeau Liberals, given that I was unimpressed with Trudeau during the campaign and debates.
Problem is, during his federal run, Grant was strongly tied to Swann and the AB Liberals, and I got the sense that they wanted him to take over the party as Swann has to be on his way out. Don't get me wrong, I like Swann and have voted for him every time I've had the chance, but if Grant hitches his wagon to the non-viable dying entity that is the AB Liberal Party, it'd be a waste of potential.
