Good bye Alberta PC's, you helped make us the best province

[Gay Boy Roberto]

Toronto Star editorial says NDP win in Alberta is bad news for the Harper Conservatives:



The bounce the NDP win has given progressives can't be good news for the Harper team; for federal Tories the road to another mandate has just grown steeper. Change is in the air, bad news for a Conservative party that has been in power for nearly a decade and seeks a fourth consecutive stint in office....



Alberta now has an NDP government after 44 years of continuous Tory rule. So does Manitoba. Liberals hold sway almost everywhere else: in Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. The Conservatives have been reduced to a single provincial bastion, Newfoundland, while the centre-right Saskatchewan party holds power there. With Alberta's seismic shift the political landscape has tilted decisively against the Tories....



What voters really wanted was renewal and a government that would be on their side. That shattered the Tory monolith.

I agree about only one thread though :)

An Archbishop has been indicted for concealing child abuse as a Bishop in New South Wales.



That is big news here.



Is that of any interest to you?

If it wasn't yet another bishop doing that very thing.

There are too many threads about this subject..



I know the change Alberta experienced is to Canadians what electing Taiwan electing a non Kuomintang president in 2000..



But, there are enough already.

It's my understanding that a "bishop" is usually involved even if the kiddy diddling isn't done by a member of the clergy.



I know, I know.....I'm going to he'll.....no need to say it. ac_blush
