ALBERTA: Provincial Elections!

[PRC]

Option 1: Alberta Liberal Party

"Countries which out-educate and out-train us today will out-compete us tomorrow," says Alberta Liberal Leader Raj Sherman. "This is why the Alberta Liberals have introduced a fully-costed plan to immediately reduce tuition by $250 and progressively reduce it until it is eliminated completely by 2025."


Option 2: Alberta New Democratic Party

"Conservatives have delivered unacceptably low returns from our vast and valuable oilsands resources. It's time Albertans invest their prosperity with someone else" says Mason. "Liberals endorse the status quo. The Wildrose policy takes us further away from getting full value for our resources. New Democrats know that Albertans own the resource, so we'll do what it takes to get the most value, in terms of jobs and revenues."


Option 3: Alberta Party

"I grew up in a Canadian military family with three brothers and a sister. In 1982 I moved to Alberta, settling in Hinton in 1986 where I have lived ever since. Hinton has been good to me; I met and married Donna and have two wonderful children. My daughter Kelsea is a nurse and son Zachary is a second year apprentice automotive mechanic. I love camping, quadding, fishing, and golfing – enjoying everything Alberta offers. When indoors I am often reading, balancing outdoor pursuits with continuous learning."


Option 4: Alberta Social Credit Party

"Social Credit is more than a political party.  It defines an economic system that enables a society to provide for the needs of its members. Enough money is provided to produce and consume the goods and services they need for a good standard of living. The Alberta Treasury Branch will be mandated to supply this money and will become the economic engine of Alberta.  Individuals, businesses and governments will keep the billions of dollars that are now being paid to banks and foreign shareholders as interest and dividends."


Option 5: Communist Party - Alberta

"You have nothing to lose but your chains!"


Option 6: Evergreen Party of Alberta

"We acknowledge that human beings are part of the natural world and we respect the specific values of all forms of life."


Option 7: Separation Party of Alberta

"I would like to apologize for the inactivity of the Separation Party of Alberta and the lack of updates on our web site. I take sole responsibility for this. In my own defense, I would point out that Mr. Harper had taken the wind out of the sails of the Separatist movement by keeping his promises, something that usually doesn't happen in federal politics. Add to that, life has been great in Alberta for the last few years and it seems that people grow complacent and don't take the time to look at what is happening around them when their pockets are full of money and for most people, politics is boring. Well, many Albertans pockets aren't full of money anymore and we are looking at an economic downturn, the likes of which many Albertans have never experienced."


Option 8: Wildrose Alliance Party

"Albertans work hard, pay their taxes, and live within their means – and they expect their government to do the same. Each and every day, Alberta families make prudent and responsible spending decisions and save money for future expenses. Sometimes, this means making the tough choice to delay spending decisions and foregoing some luxuries until they can afford them."



Option 9: Progressive Conservative Association of Alberta

"Alberta is a blessed province, filled with a wealth of natural resources and energetic, innovative people. But ensuring the future of our province can be as fortunate as our past means we need a plan now to address opportunities and overcome challenges."

What's this?  The right-wingers got the only babes?

In their defence they are Canadian right wingers... so a bit to the left of your Democrats.

Globe & Mail's poll of the standings as of April 2nd, 2012:

[Razgovory]

Voted for the hottie.

[Syt]

I think I may have seen her (or someone looking rather similar) in a gangbang video once. I need to investigate.

[Martinus]

Are all Albertans fat and ugly or is this just the politicians?

Wtf. Is this a dating site entry or what? This does not present a single fact about that idiot's political platform.

Incidentally, maybe I'm slow this morning, but beats me if I could guess the political leanings of these people based on the blurbs that have been posted - this mostly seems like some general claptrap on how they love Alberta (which in itself should disqualify one from holding any job that requires a modicum of sanity) but no specific views are presented. Is this typical for Canada or are these blurbs posted ironically?

[Josquius]

Progressive Conservatives?
LOL. Oxymoron much?

[Valmy]

I don't know anything about that Wildrose party or its hottie leader but that quote makes me swoon so I voted for her.

[Drakken]

I call rigged polling : the Progressive Conservative Party is not available. 

[Barrister]

  He's right!

I'm pretty sure the blurbs are posted somewhat ironically, but like any 21st century democracy the parties try very hard to avoid identifying themselves with any particular ideology.

I am amused by how wimpy the Lettowist part of Alberta is.  Harper is ever so dreamy and keeps his promises.  Yeah that will build up rage against the Federal State.
