Alberta politics

Has it occurred to anyone that former Alberta Premier Alison Redford, MIA since March 23, is doing her duty -- to her party, anyway, if not to the voters of Calgary-Elbow?

Yesterday's boozy little incident has the potential to do more harm to the Harper Government than scandals in the Senate, unfair elections acts and unpopular pipelines galore. Here's why.

Alberta Conservatives' entitlement problems run deeper than one politician -- and even one level of government!

Whether the government wants it or not, health care and the catastrophic role of Alberta Health Services is going to be an issue in the next election -- bad news for leadership candidate Ken Hughes.

Alberta's NDP said the party's legislative caucus will focus on the government’s attack on public service pensions for the rest of the legislative session.

The defeat of national embarrassment Rob Anders by former provincial cabinet minister Ron Liepert last night in the race for the Conservative nomination in Calgary Signal Hill marks the end of an era.

By sawing off the third leg of the three-legged stool they've sat upon for 43 years, Alberta's PCs have became a party that offers nothing to anyone and something to offend everyone.

If more candidates don't come forward soon, the Alberta PCs may have to adopt a 'negative option leadership candidacy' policy or risk an extremely boring race!

The Tapcal Fund originates in the fundamental belief of the Alberta Conservative elite that the rules are for everyone else.

Every day the list of promising leadership prospects no longer interested in becoming the last Progressive Conservative premier in Alberta history gets longer.
