This weird set-up is extremely anti-democratic, since it's conducted in secret. Unless the PC MLA's, including all of the Cabinet members, except the one whose department is involved and perhaps the Premier, CHOOSE to disclose their positions, citizens have no knowledge of how their MLA stands on a great many decisions that by definition are in the public interest and therefore should be PUBLIC!<div>It's another example of how a party that's held power for so long, does things that don't make sense because they're only capable of stale thinking. Perhaps in the past, when a PC leader's hold on his position was tenuous, letting the caucus dictate was a necessary evil. It apparently continues "because that's the way we've always done it."</div><div>Since the last election, there are no pretenders to Special Ed's throne, serious, or otherwise, so he could tell the worst knuckle-draggers it's "my way or the highway." That might allow the "progressive" in PC to see the light of day once in a while, but that has apparently not crossed his mind.</div><div>It's mind-boggling that this practise is one of the lesser missteps of this gang, but, once I got over the bitter disappointment of the last election, the enormity of the outrage motivates me to continue to work for better government in Alberta.</div>finneganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09516183231752209295noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6045668817648416816.post-30750502263457806542009-02-21T23:45:00.000-08:002009-02-21T23:50:09.100-08:00Conservative MLA for Calgary-West "Whiners"Ron Liepert, Alberta's Health Minister, goes after his customers - calls them "whiners". <br /><object width="320" height="265"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ce81YqK-IzU&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ce81YqK-IzU&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="320" height="265"></embed></object>Trevor Doerksenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05034348528839921759noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6045668817648416816.post-78177900878823817732009-02-21T19:51:00.000-08:002009-02-21T19:53:42.337-08:00Signal Hill Soccer Registration Open!Registration for spring 2009 is now open. <a href="http://signalhillsoccer.com/web/signalhill/bins/content_page.asp?cid=1828-1836&lang=1">Register</a> before February 28, 2009 to avoid late registration fee.Trevor Doerksenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05034348528839921759noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6045668817648416816.post-77588135534938036112009-02-21T09:09:00.000-08:002009-02-21T09:25:24.582-08:00Volunteer<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;">Get Involved</span><br /><br /><div>If there was ever a time when you could help shape the future of the Alberta Liberals, the time is now.<br /><br />If you’ve been working for good government in Alberta for decades, or if this is the first political page you’ve ever looked at, it makes no difference.
