Smith will never voluntarily resign. She's all about the power. And, honestly, I don't think she gives a %$#^ what the policies are. She just cares about staying in power and right now these are the policies those who are keeping her in power want.

As someone who is not originally from Alberta, I find it extremely strange that, except for that one blip, Albertans NEVER vote for anyone else. I mean, I guess if you want to be like Russia it makes sense, but ... weird.

I think with a popular, well spoken leader and how the UCP has treated even their own supporters there is a *chance* they get voted out next election. But I'm not counting on it. It's sad. I've lived here for years and have built a life here, but it's becoming more and more unbearable.
