Alberta Election I went door knocking with Wayne Cao five times to encourage people to vote for the incumbent MLA for Calgary Fort West prior to the April 21st election. Wayne's riding is a strange mixture of rich and poor constituents. Door knocking gives one a good feel on how the people are viewing the election. The Wild Rose Party had the benefit of Federal help which I found interesting that the Federal PC should be working in the background for a provincial party and the Wild Rose manipulation of the media made for a large number of voters voting for the Wild Rose which is extremely right wing. However, common sense prevailed and the Progressive conservatives were voted in as a majority. The progressive conservatives are by no means perfect but the sheep in wolf's clothing ( Danielle Smith) is not to be trusted. Having bet both leaders of the PC (Allison Redford) and the new opposition leader ( Danielle Smith) , Redford is the lesser of two evils. You know what to expect from Redford but she better start listening to the electorate. Calgary Fort West are fortunate to have a representative like Wayne Cao who is a model for what a politician with integrity should be like. I wish both leaders could take a page from Wayne's book and make decisions that benefit the people.
