It should be a problem in every Province and I know its 'gauche' to say 'change the name and colours' but if you want to get elected here?
We have people who have respect for Notley, regardless of the fact that she's gone now, but I remember when the Federal NDP released the 'LEAP Manifesto' and its like you could see Notley's eyes bulge out like a Looney Tunes cartoon and announce:
"Uh, we have nothing to do with this. Do not associate us with this."
Nobody should want to be associated with the Federal NDP least of all if they want to be elected in Alberta. They're viewed as Liberal Lap-Dogs.
If you're going to try and elect someone why elect the Lap-Dog rather than the Lap that they're sitting in?
