I may not like Stelmach but at least I know that he is a savvy political vet who will most likely make concessions or at least try to bring in Dinning and Morton and their supporters back to the PC party.

If he were a average joe farmer I think that Alberta would be in for some tough times ahead even with all the oil revenue pooring in.
The thought sends a shiver down my spine... brings back bad memories of what Grant Devine and his gang of average joe farmers did to Saskatchewan in the 1980s. And this is from someone who IS a conservative.

On the other hand, If you go to Stelmach's web site, his Agriculture policy statement is the only one with any meat in it.
