Forget about uniting the right for the moment. Maybe it's time to start talking about uniting the left again!

Alberta's Tory façade is cracking. Whether it breaks remains to be seen. One thing's for sure, the next two years call for strict Opposition message discipline!

A strong case can be made that the results of yesterday's Leger poll are much more likely to be a true reflection of voter intentions in Alberta than a group of polls touted by the Wildrose Party.

Alberta's mighty Tory dynasty has released its first TV ad in the 2012 election season. It's not very good.

Even if NDP poll numbers have increased startlingly, it would be difficult to portray the Alberta NDP riding the crest of an Orange Wave so big it could threaten to dislodge the mighty Tory behemoth.

Alberta's media keeps pushing the same old story about the Wildrose Party challenging the Tories. In fact, no one is challenging the Tories. But the NDP seems to be challenging the Wildrose.

If present trends continue, it is entirely possible that the Alberta NDP, and not the Wildrose Party, could emerge as the Official Opposition after the next provincial election.
