You going to play the sandbagger card, fine -- I'll return fire. You and Harper are part and parcel eastern liberals cut from the same cloth.

Living out west doesn't mean anything if you can't hear what people are saying. I have plenty of friends out this way who were considering wild rose, some of whom voted in the nominating meeting. All were angry with Danielle, and they feel betrayed. Enough to vote in Stelmach? Probably so. Enough to call for the replacement of Stelmach? Yep. They are disillusioned that all their effort has been wasted.

My family has lived in Alberta since 1979 and I've lived there most of my life, and I still read the Calgary Herald daily and am in constant communication with many friends there. I'm very much in tune with the province, far more than you will ever be, and I will be moving back with my SO once the job situation there becomes suitably un-****ed. You've been saying that for years. I will make a bet straight up with you now, that you will never go back and stay in the east.

My family has been in BC since the 50's. My grandfather was born in AB, in a homestead up by Grande Prairie country. My other grandparents were both from Saskatchewan. The only one who came from the east is my grandmother who came from Ontario.

They had a chance. With Danielle, they have to displace the PCs of AB. I don't believe that will happen.
