If that's your only criteria, then you shouldn't be voting!

The leader of the Wild Rose party is a hunter fisherman and trapper.

Hope this helps.

If your Pro Guns, minimal government, and Low Taxes: WRP

If you want to invest in Health Care, Education, and bigger Government: NDP

If you want to throw away your vote: Libs, Alberta Party, or Greens

If you enjoy arrogance, filth, and liars: The PC's


After considering all the above I went with the WR as I think in my riding he has the best chance of ousting the PC incumbent.

This statement is as foolish as the OP's question. Look at the big picture, folks. I'm not out to push any single party, but I will say that there are FAR more considerations than who likes guns and goes fishing.

...and this is why elections make me want to pull my hair out.

313. I won't go off, but pay attention. NO ONE should be telling you how to vote. and if you do vote, put some time into looking at each party, what they stand for, their plan for the future, and how that matches up with you.

If not. don't bother vote. It just dilutes the relevance of the voters that give a ..

So you should be telling people what is important to them?

Read the OP. He asked a question pertaining to his values, not yours.

When someone asks what time it is, I suppose you tell them how to build a watch.

So if a newbie asks how to get started in hunting, you guys will tell him to forget it until he knows everything there is to know and don't come onto an outdoor forum and ask foolish questions?? Nice. No wonder the voter turnout is low and newbies don't bother.

What bothered me the most was Nenshi declaring Prentice the winner on the news earlier this week.
How pompass can you be?

I had planned on voting strategically to do my part on blocking a PC win, but with so much uncertainty in a tight race...I have decided to cast my vote for the party that will best support my priorities ... health and education.
