Alberta was the only place where a Right Centre platform would work. That is no longer the case with the influx of out of province workers.

It worled well with Mike Harris in Ontario.

After he stepped down, his replacement started doing the same thing Honest Ed is doing now - finding it difficult to replace a highly effective leader and trying to buy the mindshare of the electorate.

There are a severe lack of politicians (of any ilk) with vision.
