Alberta’s going to the polls! I’m feeling optimistic, despite the fact that we’re once again choosing from a group of middle class, middle aged white men. I think Albertans are finally cluing into the fact that 36 years of the Conservative Party appears to be making rich people richer and not doing a hell of a lot else for the rest of us.

First! Some trivia- there is a Communist Party of Alberta! I bet they’re depressed. From the information I could compile, I can confirm their leader is not, I repeat not, a member of the Rankin Family. And that’s about it.
