At least she survived the full 4 years. Can't say that about any other conservative government since Klein.

I'll take a few bunts over someone who tells you the ball is actually her ancestor, and the rules of baseball say she is supposed to run the bases clockwise.

of course she did. The only surprise is she backtracked before the election. I thought she'd wait until after.

I'm enjoying the UPC supporters self-congratulating themselves this morning. I don't think that was the slam dunk that you guys seem to think it was. Basically the result is that Smith was a complete moron, not that she did anything amazing.

Are you saying the rabid UCP base can't look at things in a rational way.....

I understand that sentiment, but just can't not vote.

Careful guys. Some here might think you’re being too mean to conservatives and vote UCP instead of NDP.

I'm sorry, I find that to be such a cop out.

I have traditionally been a Conservative supporter, but I am voting NDP.

I am hopeful that it might awaken the Conservatives Movement to move the #### away from the fringe Conservatives like Smith and back towards a party like the PCs.

A lot of good people died just so you could vote, throwing away that freedom is beyond stupid.

I'm in the same place. I'm hoping for an NDP win followed by a purge of Smith and TBA. It would be nice to actually have 2 sane options to choose between when voting.

Well… that might be a bit of a reach.

Vote for sanity. Vote for truth. Vote for the rule of law. If you want someone to vote for next time, help destroy the UCP so that it happens quicker. They need to understand this isn't acceptable, and they are not the bearers of the Conservative flag.

If you never reach you will never get off that slippery slope. A little hyperbole can get you there.

I know when great grandpa died on that beach he was screaming "WELL AT LEAST MY GRANDKIDS WILL BE ABLE TO VOTE! MY DEATH WILL NOT BE IN VAIN!!!!!.......YOU BETTER VOTE SONNY! EVEN IF ITS INSIGNIFICANT!! AND SOME BLACK QUARTERBACK IN THE FUTURE BETER NOT BLOOODY KNEEL AT THE NATIONAL ANTHEM....GOOD THIS HURTS."

I guess he wouldn't have talked in geezer talk using the term sonny because he was probably 17, but whatever.

Yoho and Stewie991 - it's up to you conservative types to take back control of the your side of the political spectrum. The UCP are bordering on christofascist policies, which will be extremely bad for the future of this province; help bring your team back to the progressive side. Yoho is clearly duped / brainwashed, but there might be some hope yet for Stewie though.

I gotta say, I didn't know that the plan for the NDP was to phase out natural gas in 12 years. That does seem incredibly fast to me.
