The democratic race is fascinating and darned tough to call. <BR/>Up here we currently have a choice between middle-aged white guys.<BR/><BR/>dfBag Lady - Honest Ed's diction compels me too, but it's because he spoke Ukrainian first.<BR/><BR/>Yes, Reb, there may be some hope from the newcomers, but they're here to work and they've got jobs because of the conservatives. Just ask the PCs, they'll tell you. Ralph personally put all that oil in the ground.<BR/>In an ideal world the Greens would win and I'm sure they're running Fuzzy Bunny Universe just fine. Here our best hope is (or once was)the liberals knocking down the PCS.Leah J.

Although, with this influx of people from other provinces there just might be a chance a slim one, but a chance never-the-less.<BR/><BR/>Was listening to the fellow from the Green party the other night - yes, some of those would be great changes, but, really, how the hell are you going to be able to afford to implement them?Rebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05318594769530526005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1892083748555571767.post-73691887867993034252008-02-13T09:18:00.000-07:002008-02-13T09:18:00.000-07:00dfLeah - the Conservatives were really just the So...dfLeah - the Conservatives were really just the Social Credit Party with a new name, so we've pretty much had the same party running the province forever.<BR/><BR/>In spite of Ralph's bad points, he had charisma, while all poor, bland Ed Stelmach has is really good diction. I tend not to be able to hear what he is saying because I spend so much time listening to his very exacting pronunciation.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and as far as a ruling body goes - the Bag Lady thinks it isn't going to matter one damned bit who is in power - they are all corrupt and none of them will honour their campaign promises!the Bag Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17434610508260994331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1892083748555571767.post-87266259322834802142008-02-13T07:35:00.000-07:002008-02-13T07:35:00.000-07:00It's interesting to hear about Canadian elections-...It's interesting to hear about Canadian elections--we get virtually no news here about what goes on up north.<BR/><BR/>While I suspect you may have heard we're having some primaries down in the states.<BR/><BR/>Hope the elections go better than expected.Crabby McSlackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12108791388350253344noreply@blogger.com
