Health Care

Maybe it will join as Gonzalessa in honour of the former (and still unemployed) US AG

Liepert, you're a bastard and a crook

Yay, cabinet shuffle here....  Lieperv is now Energy Minister and instead of just screwing with the health care system, is now able to crash the entire (practically) Alberta economy!

I should be glad that the Alberta Conservatives have lost approval big time during the Stelmach adminstration, and probably won't survive the next election, but the likely successor is the further-right Wild Rose Alliance.

Wild Rose? What a strange name for a far right party.

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

Time to start a campaign to show how the rose is an official socialist symbol?

[Aggie]

Official provincial flower, and strongly considered the provincial symbol by the masses. 

The provincial Liberals (no relation to the federal Liberal Party, which is much-derided in these parts) should have jumped on that name.  They've considered a name change but to paraphrase AB Liberal leader Dr. David Swann, 'thinking voters will look past the name to the rationality of our platform'. 



Which is true, I suppose.  Liberal support in this province may actually be a fair indication of the percentage of thinking voters out there. _{(I voted Liberal in the last election because I highly approved of the candidate, not the party - he won in my riding because he's a damned good guy despite being a politician)}
