Dear Editor,
The latest announcement to hit the airwaves was the announcement by Ted Morton, Minister of Finance, that he is resigning to seek the PC leadership.
As a leopard never changes its spots why would Mr. Morton, the politician who has zero respect for the courts or justice system, think for even one moment that Albertans would even give him a remote thought?
His feeble attempt to discredit the grassroots integrity of Danielle Smith was at best pathetic. In his wildest dreams, why would he ever imagine a grassroots centre of the road Wildrose Party ever consider joining hands with a far right wing conservative whose policies and beliefs are further right than Genghis Khans’?
However I predict: Beware of industries’ dark horse candidate Jim Dinning.
Since the early 2000s, starting with Ralph Klein’s deregulation dream, his sellout to big powerful industries has brought Alberta from government running the province on behalf of all Albertans, to firstly the big oil and gas industries and then added the huge electric industries.
It is clearly the right time to totally reverse the political scene in Alberta and elect a new government that is truly endorsed by the every day working people and their families, to fairly represent all of the people (perhaps by allowing MLA’s to vote freely their conscience) and to restore the property rights of all landowners to protect their ownership from the earth’s core to the universe (perhaps by a new made-in-Alberta constitution); while helping to reduce unneeded electrical capacity, also sewer and water and soon to be air taxation.
