Gerson is about as centrist as it gets. Not sure who she'd vote for - I'd guess AP, but following Alberta politics as closely as she does, I imagine she just hates everybody (for good reason). She is frequently just as scathing against lefties and makes compelling arguments supporting Alberta against misconceptions from the rest of the country.

Personally, I find her very balanced and can really relate to her. When I am around conservative people, I hate them. When I am around progressive people, I hate them.
