Too bad, but we all knew it was coming.

[CaberTosser]

The only people this is too bad for are the NDP and their followers. Its an overall win for Alberta and the majority of the citizens here. This is better news than whomever winds up winning the Stanley Cup because it affects working people rather than just millionaires.

They can start right away in drafting the legislation that will undo the NDP's 4 years of utter incompetence. Businesses will soon be eager to invest here again.

Why...so we can have 4 more years of NDP?

[pikergolf]

Hopefully Rona Ambrose will run for leader.

Best news Ive read all week!!!

Goodbye Rachel!

[nekred]

All the pieces are falling into place,

Rona is stepping out from finishing her term, the PC/Wildrose are getting back together....

This has to happen as if you look at how many ridings won with the small c conservative we would not have the No Damn Progress party in power.

While I don't like Rona's record because of her voting against hunting rights, at least people will have jobs in Alberta if the conservatives get back in power as they are business, farm and outdoorsmen friendly.

The NDP ****ed on business and farmers and outdoorsmen did not complain, then she ****ed on farmers and business and outdoorsmen did not complain.. now she ****ed on outdoorsmen by closing the castle area... and farmers, and businessmen did not complain...

They are playing a divide and conquer game.... meanwhile unions, government workers and teachers are not complaining.... she will eventually **** on them too....

Look at all the charities how much they are suffering to get donations because the biggest philanthropists are capitalists...

It's too bad because the PC party is full of liberals in disguise.

There's commitment for ya.

If Bernier doesn't win the Federal Conservative nomination, I'm voting Communist.

[Okotokian]

Would be hilarious, after all Kenney and Jean have gone through to get to the point of tangling over the leadership of the new party, if newly-free Rona just walked in and took it.

Or Rempel. That B wants to run something... she's stuck her nose into city and provincial politics more than she's paid attention to her job and the federal scene.

A lot of them have gone...and any stragglers will soon follow....

[Redfrog]

It appears to me that Rona is smarter than that. she's been politician for many years, has a good reputation and no scandals. She will move to the private sector where the money is and the work is appreciated.

Having said that, if she did decide to run for the merger party, I could get behind her.

[raab]

I dont think Id vote for Rona, probably go Libertarian if she was running the party. I still think Brian wins the nomination. Most of the party will be WRP supporters and like the job Brian has done.

I'm not in WR so take this with a grain of salt, I'm just looking from the outside, but it seems his support isn't as strong within his own party as one might think. He's had the reins yanked on him a few times.

Personally, I don't mind the guy. But I could live with Kenny too. Well, not THAT way.... LOL Not sure of his status, but I'm sure of mine. LOL Wonder when the whisper campaign starts.

[alta270]

Perfect. I'm not sure if I prefer Kenney, who is a great retail politician, but has baggage, or Jean, who I truly respect but am not sure if he can carry forward. Regardless, Dippers, ye should be worried.

[Stinky Buffalo]

So... Does this mean I don't have to start the Stinky Buffalo Party?

I sure hope this works.

[Selkirk]

I don't live in Alberta anymore (moved to BC last year), but it's still hard for me to watch the Wildrose getting into bed with all those dirty, rotten, stinking PC cronies, who brought Alberta to it's knees. And by adding Jason Kenney to the mix, it just makes me want to puke

I am well aware that the two conservative parties have to join together, to ensure an NDP defeat in the next election ... but the stench of the necessary process, is going to be overwhelming!

'Good Luck' Wildrose and Alberta (& BC too)

Do tell how.

Contrary to what you may think a government is not easy to beat. They can change the ridings, pick the date of the election, the length of the campaign and hand out goodies during the campaign to attract voters.

Also some 15, 16 and 17 year olds will vote for the first time in the next election. Of the 70 plus year olds 20% or more will have died.

My suggestion is to try to appeal to the youth in the province, it will weaken the NDP's base a help the new party.

Do we have to pick between the two guys that we have? Notely has beat Jean and may be able to beat Kenny if he is the choice. I really do thing that Rona has the best shot.

You don't want to lose this election, they could take root and be there 30 years.

You realize that Jean was only on the job like two weeks before the election was called? And despite that led the WRP to the most seats they've ever held in the history of the party.

Agree, he brought them back from the dead after the Prentice/Danielle fiasco. I am one who likes Jean, what he says and hopes he can win the leadership of the new party. I don't care if he is stiff as a board like Harper was. I think he has Alberta first on his agenda.

Kenney can play second fiddle till the next one Imo. But I worry that guys like Kenney and Fildebrandt will undermine the new party from within if Jean wins. Maybe Fidebrandt will run for the leadership too.

IMO if it wasn't for that floor crossing hussy the WR would be in power now.

This is probably true. Nobody has forgiven her I hope.
