As the Occupy Calgary has continued, with no clear message and blatant disregard to our local by-laws; my husband and I have become more vocal.

Cory has blogged about it in several posts on his blog.

He also started a petition to encourage our Mayor and Aldermen to do the right thing and uphold our bylaws. This has been covered by our local media.

Today he was interviewed by QR77. You can hear it here.

Thank you Capital Notebook

I was pleasantly surprised to discover that my blog has been added to the "Alberta Political Blogs" list at the Capital Notebook.

The Capital Notebook is "the" political "go to" section of the Edmonton Journal. Much like the "Inside Alberta Politics" of the Calgary Herald.

The list has some amazing bloggers; daveberta, Enlightened Savage, Ken Chapman and Calgary Rants....just to name a few. I will do my best to keep up with the pack.

Jim Campbell needs to stretch his imagination.

There is a great quote in Don Braid's "Tories easily spooked" appearing in today's Herald, from my PC counterpart, Executive Director Jim Campbell.

Regarding Ed Stelmach’s upcoming leadership review Braid comments;

These Tories point out that a negative vote would come only a year and a half after Stelmach won 72 of 83 seats in the legislature, the biggest first victory ever for a Tory premier. Many Albertans would wonder how much power Conservatives need to be satisfied.

To which Jim Campbell responds;

"I can't imagine people in the party wanting to vote against a premier with a record like that," says Jim Campbell, the party's executive director.

This is exactly the attitude I was referring to yesterday when I said…..

It's like they think everything is "stuck in time"; that every day is March 3, 2008. Well there have been many days since then and there will be many more before Albertans go to the polls again.

So in addition to Mark Norris (former MLA) and a few current MLA’s (who I won’t name); we can add their Executive Director to the list of PC proponents who think everything is rosy in Eddyville.

It's becoming clear why Stelmach had to look elsewhere to find people to "think big".
