LOL @ Jason Kenney being on the list. I'm surprised they didn't include Rob Anders as well.
This is Nellie McClung's to lose, IMO. Although I have just learned she wanted to sterilise stupid people. Thus, she probably won't get much support from Edmonton voters.

Yeah... I've been to his house in Owen Sound and I'm pretty sure I wasn't in Alberta at the time.

Elisha Cuthbert? Paul Brandt? Jason freakin' Kenney?
Why even publish moronic picks like that? Are they trying to out-stupid the Sun - personally, I don't give them much of a chance, I'm pretty sure the Sun is some kind of alien experiment in letting chimps run a newspaper.

Gotta give this one to King Ralf. What a beauty.
The fact that Mark Messier is even nominated makes me sick but nice recovery nominating Iggy

Does Michael J. Fox count as an Albertan? I see he's not on the list...

Jack Daines, FTW. I met him once, he was a cool dude. An amiable, no BS type of rancher, immediate respect for the man...
Leslie Nielson? was'nt he from Edmintin?Edit: apparently from NWT... http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000558/bio

I nominated Bob Edwards. I doubt the Herald will acknowledge him though given the legal battles between Edwards and the Herald.

Yeah some of the choices up there are pretty dumb. I wonder if someone from his family wrote in Jason Kenney. What's that all about? I mean I see celebs being up there (not that I agree with it) because our society is so celebrity-centric, But Jason Kenney? Wow. Not an important politician OR a celebrity.
I had forgotten that Chong and Fox were Albertan. Surprised they aren't on the list, though the first one I could see why.
And correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Cuthbert is Albertan. I know she lived here for several years, but I don't think she was born here. I thought it was in Ont.
