The election in Alberta is through it’s first week, and surprisingly it has seen some interesting action.

Of course, with the Progressive Conservatives coming in with a majority government, Ed Stelmach was thinking this would be a walk in the park.  Everyone knows that Alberta is Tory country.

But that is not what the NDP and the Liberals want you to think.

And they are doing everything in their power to make you think of them – not the PC party.

They are working hard to get their message across – and they have an unexpected ally in helping to unseat the tories.

The WildroseAlliance party is new on the scene – and it is making an impact.  They are a right of center party – formed by a merger between the Alberta Alliance and the Wildrose party of Alberta.  Although their policy is nothing like the Liberal and NDP – they have the same goal in mind – Win against the PC incumbent.

So Ed better make sure he gets his troops working their best.  This may end up being the closest race in many many years in Alberta!
