The Alberta girl weighs in ....

Well, it will be a while beofre Alberta passes it, but as for Klein - he is looking to lead the PC's to a win, then step down within the year. Things could change just with that...

Considering that the PC's have been in power since 1971 (yes, really - even Don Getty as premier couldn't f**k it up) and that Alberta has only had 4 parties ever be in gov't (and no repeats - really), it says that Albertan's will put up with a lot of crap internally.

1905 - 1921 - Liberals
1921 - 1935 - United Farmers of Alberta (pol. party)
1935 - 1971 - Social Credit (they won NINE elections!)
1971 - present - Progressive Conservative (to date, the PC's have won nine as well and looking for #10 at the end of the month)

There is a growing dislike of Klein's stance on many things, so it will be interesting to see how the provincial election rolls out at the end of month. (Thus my heistation to move back).

Cheers,
Shala
