She missed her opportunity to blame one of those NDP lightbulbs for starting the fire.

Ya, the list is just so long and hard to keep track of. There was that twitter account that was putting out daily posts with new items that the UCP did over their short tenure to erode the quality of government and the quality of life of Albertans. I would really hope that AB Resistance would publish a wiki of sorts to document all of the transgressions of the UCP on their site.

Considering that an 'amateur' was able to expose so many of their grifts, I feel strongly that if we had a real ethics commissioner that couldn't be replaced by the politicians that they are meant to watch over, then there would be numerous investigations into bribes and kickbacks that would result in the end of the UCP.

The number of rumours around golden parachutes being given to UCP members over the new coal mine is disgusting to consider and I am sure the Oil & Gas industry has equally paid for the UCP to pander to their industry over investment into renewables (or any future industry).

Didn't they also just change the rules so the Oilsands companies could just dump their tailings water without all of the fuss?

At a time when these companies are prioritizing profits above all else and are actually being pretty horrible to Albertans (laying off thousands over the last few years) deregulating and making it easier for them to do bad things to the environment is not the responsible move for the government that represents the people.

That article says nothing of the kind.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
