Quote:Probably a fairly liberal MA governor, elected in an off-year, Republican-wave election in which young Americans don't vote.
And the Albertans just elected the first Liberal premier ever, and the first non-PCP governor in more than 40 years. The three parties in the running were two conservative and one liberal. I wouldn't read too much into it just yet.
Quote:But it just goes to show, you can't be so sure that Alberta is as right-wing as North Dakota or Kansas.
I don't have to, I just have to think that it isn't as liberal as California.
Quote:They would have good reason to shut it down (yes). And I even think the new liberal governor wanted that. Apparently the national leadership still thinks money is more important than the environment.
So, no liberal fantasy land there. They murdered minks too for a while. It's just better than the red USA, that's all. No immigration frenzy, no aversion to national health care, no militarism, no religious right, willingness to support alt energy, etc.
You spend a lot of time IN Canada, per chance?
