This is the design painted on the bus when they kicked off the party’s provincial election campaign a week ago. In the Calgary Herald it now says they have repainted the bus and located the leader’s picture more towards the middle of the bus.
Most liked it the original way. It injected a little humor into the political arena.
The Wildrose Party is a relatively new, but powerful party here in the Province of Alberta and they are hoping to knock off the long serving Progressive Conservatives. Wildrose is a right leaning party. The election will most certainly come down to a battle between Wildrose and PC both whom have female leaders interesting enough.
Wildrose is too similar to PC when it comes right down to it. I like Alison Redford, especially her committment to education so will likely stick with them again. Thanks for the comment.
Whoever wins, I would like to see a much stronger Opposition. I’m hoping that no party wins a full sweep as the PCs did last time.
Should be interesting to see what happens in the upcoming election. Personally, I think the PCs are too entrenched (a lamppost with a PC sign could get voted in as MLA in most ridings), but I am skeptical of how much or little the Wild Rose party will manage to change. Their policy booklet says all the right things, but when I read areas that I have knowledge in (land use and property rights), I see enough errors that it makes me wonder how many errors exist in other parts of the document.
(particularly glaring errors in the property rights section: unless the landowner holds the mineral rights to a parcel of land, they definitely do not own ‘to the centre of the earth’; and there seems to be no acknowledgment that we own property upon the grace of the Crown.)
