On the weekend an Alta PC staffer in a tweet said to Danielle that "if your so concerned about families, then why don't you have a family of your own?" What? Are you kidding me? What a low blow! Danielle said all that her and her husband couldn't conceive so they went to a fertility Dr. With this statement. This staffer resigned. Why wasn't she FIRED?! Did she (Amanda Wilke) come up with this all herself? Was (or is) she working for the PC's on the election trail? If she was on the trail, is she still working for the PC's but not on the trail? More PC controversy on important and very wrong actions done in the guise of looking after Alberta. Voters are now convinced that the Alta. PC's have really lost their hold on the pulse of the electorate.
As soon as Redford was given the reigns to the Premier's job, she immediately spent $100 million. That's RIGHT AWAY! First thing. It went to restore Education funding. That's 100 million of OUR money. When Stelmach was Premier (He was as soft a Alta. Premier as I have EVER seen), and what did he do? All he did (sic) was RAISE all the MLA's salaries to a undeserved amount AND, he instituted, what is called the "Do Nothing Committee." where MLA's receive at least $1000 per month even if their committee doesn't meet. Some haven't met for at least 5 mos. Voters have really grabbed a hold of this misuse of public funds and are flocking to the WR and leaving the Alta PC's in numbers that leave pundits shaking their heads as they have never seen a party fall so fast in popularity. 2 of 3 ex PCers now WR MLA's have given back the money. That could be as much as 40 mos. worth. Redfords MLA's initially gave back ONLY 6 mos., THEN, after seeing all the backlash from their very, regretable folly, Redford has in trying to stop the downhill support, ordered all her MLA's to give back the funds that were NOT earned. She says if PC MLA's do not comply, then they'll be kicked out of caucus. Well, to penalize an MLA is okay, but, can she kick out an MLA that was VOTED in? Again, the PC's show how out of touch they are.
On another front - Redford still believes she needs to go with other MLA's to the States and tell them about Alberta and how strategically how important it is. My question: in a world of The Gateway Pipeline and the XL Pipeline to the U.S. Gulf States, Alta Oil sells itself, we don't need to continue to promote ourselves to the States. Here we are, spending money, again, for useless junkets by our Gov't. The AB. PC's, wasting OUR money, AGAIN.
The Wildrose has promised us the Alberta Energy Dividend. When Ab. reaches surplus by the end of 2014, 20% will GO TO US! Every person will, to start, receive $300/yr! Albertan's are the REAL stakeholders here. This plan is good for everyone! It's "Ralph Buck's" but we'll receive this A.E.D. every year and as it grows, we'll get more! Oh, Redford has promised to open 140 new clinics accross Ab. Thanks Alison, you are willing to spend more of OUR money again.
What would you want. Cash from the A.E.D. or higher deficits with the PC's? Hmmm, I know what I'd want. What about you?
