The Social Credit Party sounds like they know what they're talking about.

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

That would certainly make the election more interesting, were it to go viral during the campaign.  :D

I don't understand what the PCs are doing.  So far their campaign is just releasing one bland announcement after another.

Wildrose is surging in all of the PCs strongholds.  They should be running some vicious attack ads against Wildrose for having no experience and being full of kooks.  Have they just plain forgotten how to run an election campaign?

How would they?  The last time the Alberta PCs faced a serious challenge was 20 years ago from Lawrence Decore's Liberals, after Getty tanked the province.

But surely they have some strategists who worked for Harper's Conservatives?

Perhaps the problem is that they in fact have strategists who worked for the federal Liberals instead.

Based on the compass:

PC - 60%
LIB - 58%
NDP - 49%
WR - 48%

It's a SoCred joke. Major Douglass's whole economic philosophy/theory was summed up by A + B.

It was gibberish of course.

Wiebo Ludwig died...

Anti-oilpatch activist Wiebo Ludwig dies at 70

Controversial Alberta anti-oilpatch activist and convicted bomber Wiebo Ludwig has died, his son Josh has confirmed to CBC News.

Ludwig, 70, told CBC News last October that he had cancer of the esophagus and was not interested in undergoing chemotherapy or radiation treatment.

"Generally, they just extend your life a bit on all of those," he said. "And if that's all they're doing, I would just as soon sign off earlier."

Josh Ludwig released a statement Monday night saying his father had "entered eternal rest at home and surrounded by those he loved dearly."

Ludwig has long been a controversial figure in the Alberta oilpatch.

No one has ever been charged in the 1999 fatal shooting of teenager Karman Willis on his Trickle Creek farm.

In 2000, Ludwig was found guilty on five charges related to bombings and vandalism of oil and gas wells in northwestern Alberta. He served two-thirds of a 28-month prison sentence before he was released in 2001.

In January 2010, hundreds of RCMP officers searched his property looking for evidence related to six EnCana gas pipeline bombings. RCMP said they found his DNA on the envelope of a threatening letter sent to a local newspaper.

Ludwig was arrested and released after spending one night in jail. He was never charged.

In an interview last October with CBC News in Edmonton ahead of a screening of a documentary film about his life, Ludwig said he hoped he lived long enough to write a book about his fight.

"And probably publish it posthumously so they don't put me in jail," he said.

Well, the Languish straw poll seems pretty definitely for the MILF Party.

Were I Albertan, I would take my chances with the WildRose.

The leader is a former CFIB regional director, so she knows about public policies.
The Conservatives have been there forever, time they go.

I kinda like Danielle Smith's backround at Fraser Institute and CFIB.
