I went to the Wildrose Annual General Meeting in Red Deer and asked Wildrose MLAs Leela Aheer, Jason Nixon and Derek Fildebrandt what was on their agendas for the fall sitting of the legislature.
The last Wildrose AGM was like a post mortem of the election loss to the NDP. But not this one.
This AGM was bigger, more hopeful and unity minded. It looks like the MLAs are ready to fight.
After being at the AGM, it’s no wonder the NDP have the entire fall Legislature sitting set for a measly total of sixteen days.
They don’t want to face the questions of this highly motivated opposition.
Furthermore because of the low ranking by the Constituency Associations of a proposed amendment to Wildrose’s Environmental policy which called for an end to its support for man-made climate change and "advancing … alternative renewable energy sources”, as per its existing policy statement, the proposed amendment conveniently (for the party) never came up to be heard within the 2-hour time allotted for debating and voting on policy proposals at the AGM. With such an ongoing position, the Wildrose Party, a supposedly conservative party, aligns itself with the globalists and socialists who want to use the hoax of man-made global warming to overturn our free enterprise capitalist system.
From my perspective, a disappointing day for conservatism with the Wildrose party showing a lack of boldness, basically playing it safe. A Calgary Herald report on the AGM was entitled, ‘Wildrose members give leader mandate to fight to end Alberta carbon tax”. Seems like the strategy is ‘we can win the next election saying we will kill the carbon tax and staying away from any potentially controversial issues because we are afraid of the media’. Sad.
The AGM missed the big question about vote splitting.
I liked Derrick’s enthusiasm. Wish I could have attended.
The ndp are scum. AXE THE TAX
DJBT,Wynne and Notley
Does this mean we only get to see 16 pieces of moronic legislation then? Or will they just double up on stupid and we get more.
