I just watched the leader's debate on Global.
It was interesting. Up untill an hour ago, I was a jim dinning supporter.
I thought he had the best plan for education: now I think you can stick a fork in dinning- he is done like dinner! (very punny, eh?
)
Jim Dinning rambled on and on. At some points he was incoherant, and he did not directly reply to any question asked of him. He was very nervous and very unprepared for a crucial debate. Even though Dinning lead after the first ballot, this debate has virtually crushed him. He made a mess of the sheets!
Ted Morton looked alright. But he is super right-wing. I disagree that privatization of healthcare will solve Alberta's healthcare problems. If you are a doctor fresh out of med school, you are not going to help "Joe Average" in the public system, you will go where the most money is. Hence, the majority of Albertans will lose access to quality healthcare with privatization.Ted Morton scares me.
Ed Stelmach looked confident. I think he won the debate by a mile, and I like his plans for municipalities. I am not sure yet, but I think Stelmach earned my vote. I need to research his policies a little more though, before I put the "x" on my ballot.
What do others think?
