Smart move by the conservatives. They were in real jepardy of losing the next election with Ed at the helm.

A high-ranking source says Premier Ed Stelmach will announce today he will resign as premier after the legislature session and won’t run in the next election.

Good riddance.

I wonder if the rest of the PC caucus will be standing behind him with rapiers pointed at his back?

Bittersweet for the Wildrose Alliance - they are going to claim all kinds of victory on forcing him out, but the PCs with a strong leader can regain lost ground. And if the Alberta party can strip the Liberals of any support, the next election could be real interesting.

Sort of feel sorry for the guy as he was obviously promoted way past his capabilities. Maybe a decent MLA, who knows. But He does not possess the political acumen needed to run this or any other province.

Yup, but the tweets coming from the presser are painting a slightly different picture than that.
