The former Alberta finance minister did get one thing right in his Calgary Herald article: If Alberta is to survive its current bust it's going to need a sales tax.

Voices from the ancien regime: Jason Kenney has published a list of 50 former MLAs who support him.

Alison Redford may not have intended to, but she smashed the mould. Alberta politics will never be the same again. It all started five years ago today.

Ye shall know them by their friends … and some of Jason Kenney's are pretty interesting to contemplate.

It's been almost nine months now. Surely it's time for Alberta conservatives to get up to speed on how this democracy thing works!

It is hard to believe that much non-partisan, independent academic scholarship takes place in the atmosphere encouraged at the University of Calgary's School of Public Policy.

If interim PC Leader Ric McIver is serious about rebuilding his party, he needs to start listening more carefully to what former premier Ed Stelmach has to say.

A sales tax? In Alberta? Alberta Premier Jim Prentice has obviously taken former finance minister Ted Morton's advice to heart that "this fiscal crisis is too good to waste."

The PC Party board of directors voted on Saturday to have all their candidates nominated by the Ides of March. After that, a vote is bound to follow quickly.

Yesterday's bungled Bill 10 brouhaha reveals Alberta Premier Jim Prentice is just another politician who puts his pants on one leg at a time … backwards.
