I just try to ignore the high volume of low quality posts from those who are not interested in engaging in a discussion and focus on posters who I find intelligent and insightful.

Michelle Rempel said some very important things in her post. She was thoughtful and honest, whether one agrees with her or not.
Note Raj Sherman is trying to get the same exemption Michelle Rempel was given. Given his history in the province, I think he should be given a chance. While he wouldn't sit well with those "racist conservatives" (which clearly exist), he has been a champion for values I find quite consistent with my own. I have no intention of buying a membership to vote in the election, but if I did, I'd give him consideration. Might not vote for him, but I would like to hear on how he would approach health care. Would he just spend money or does he have other ideas? Its a huge issue.

I like MRG but just could see a Rempel leadership ending up similar to Kenney and Prentice - federal politician who doesn't really live in Alberta and has limited leadership experience swooping in to save the day and then completely mismanaging everything. Perhaps an unfounded concern.
Sherman is an interesting cat - I'd like to see him in the race as well.
Leela Aheer is great so I hope she can gain some traction. Toews also seems like a reasonable guy - maybe he can be an Albertan Brad Wall.
