Yes and your political leanings aren't bleeding through whatsoever there.

I don't know. She didn't follow through on much last time that was hit on in her campaign. Wasn't a massive detriment, but she proved to be somewhat incompetent. Also impressively poor with PR.

Being a good person doesn't necessarily always translate to good leadership or political prowess. But maybe she's learned a few things from those experiences. If she prevails, I hope that's the case.

Whichever way the election goes, I'm neither hopeful nor confident in either outcome based on the experiences we've had with both candidates.

Not to turn this into the Alberta Politics thread, but...

Here’s a look at some of the party’s key platform planks:

A Resource Owners’ Rights Commission to review the royalties oil companies pay to the province, with any amount earned above the current rates going into savings.

A boost in the corporate tax rate to 12 per cent from 10 per cent.

An increase in the minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2018.

More tax brackets on high earners than the Tories are proposing: A 12 per cent tax rate on income between $125,000 to $150,000; 13 per cent on income between $150,000 and $200,000; 14 per cent between $200,000 and $300,000 and 15 per cent over $300,000. The NDP also plans to roll back the Tory health levy.

The creation of 2,000 long term care spaces over four years.

A ban on both corporate and union donations to political parties.

I don't know if they hit their goal of 2,000 long term car spaces - but she completed the rest of her election planks.
