That's certainly the feeling that a couple commentators out here have been getting from this situation.

The Tories would be wise to dump Redford. I can't see them winning with her as leader.

At this point, I don't either.  But at the same time, I don't get the feeling that we're up for another leadership contest.



I'm not sure how accurate these allegations are.  Keep in mind that Webber's never been a friend of the premier's.  In fact, he was pretty vocally trying to get people to vote against her in the leadership review at our last AGM.

On a bit of a lighter note, here's yet another demonstration of SUN news' quality of journalism:



It was a good guess, but that gentleman is Jim McCormick, President of PC Alberta.  I believe that Dave Hancock's in the back somewhere, behind a few people.

I had emailed the federal Infrastructure Minister about the decision to put a toll on the Champlain bridge. I have received a reply three months later. He says sorry for the delay. I guess it's true governments are slow.

With Deb Coyne? Also, hoping for an election next spring due to the many provincials that fall. IIRC Harper hinted as much.

Zach Paikin is a "Liberal star?" WTF? Anyways, he's quitting his race and giving rigged nominations as his reason.

If it is changed tp Spring I hope he has all parties support publicly because if not it will look like he is not respecting the rules.

Clement is the logical choice, with an outside shot of Kenney.

Looks like MacDougall was right: it will be Oliver, per CBC. Hopefully just till the election. So who replaces Oliver at Natural Resources?

Do we really need one? Harper policy is letting the corporations do as they want. He could abolish it while pretneding to cut red tape.

No questions. So reshuffle or more apologies IMO.

Well, we need an oil salesman and somebody to peddle the pipelines.

Sounds to me like a resignation.

That's the Twitterverse rumour too. I hope Albertans don't fall for this in 2016.

It's shameful that she had to leave in this manner.  I just hope that the debate can return to policy, rather than the WRP carrying on about negligible expense issues.
