On the eve of what could be a seismic shift in Alberta's political landscape, Wildrose leader Brian Jean says his party is the only one who can hold back the NDP tide.
Jean hosted a barbecue in Airdrie on the weekend and says polls are clear, barring a dramatic last minute change in voter sentiment, the NDP is poised to win big.
Most of those same polls suggest his party is running neck and neck with the NDP outside of Edmonton with the PCs running third and fading.
As a result, he says voters have only one choice, if they want to stop the NDP.
"The PCs are almost non-existent in most places across Alberta. They've fallen back and they've been devastated in this election and we don't think they're going to have any opportunity at all. We've seen from all the reports that the NDP has a good solid majority and the only party that's even close enough to do some damage to the NDP and in fact govern, is the Wildrose Party," says Jean.
In the last day before the vote, all the leaders are planning whistlestops across the province in a bid to garner last minute support before the vote, May 5th.

When Bob Rae’s NDP came into power, the country as a whole was just entering a recession but Ontario had a balanced budget (although the NDP claim we had a $5 billion deficit). Rae’s first budget put us into a $20 billion deficit; most of that money went to increasing welfare rates by 33% and giving the nurses (who must have supported the NDP via their union) a massive wage increase. If they spent a dime that actually helped the Ontario economy, I never heard about it: they did giveaways instead of building prosperity. The rest of the country was out of recession in just two years; we stayed in recession for the entire FIVE years that the NDP were in power.
Please, LEARN FROM ONTARIO’S MISTAKE and don’t vote for the NDP. They are not your friends and will not make Alberta a better place.
The female vote (and their white knights) – they love the nanny state.
However, I really do appreciate that Brian Jean speaks it as he sees it. He says it looks like the NDP are headed for a government. It is nice the see a politician who tells the truth and is candid about the reality around him. That I like in Brian Jean.
Go WIldrose!
