In Paul Jackson’s column today, in which he sticks closer to his home in Alberta, we find arrogance among politicians is not necessarily limited to the Liberal Party. Paul is looking ahead to the new leadership of the Progressive Conservative Party there.
It’s in the Columnist section. Here’s a snippet:
A month or so ago, I was chatting—or at least, tried to chat—with a sniffling, sanctimonious Alberta Progressive Conservative MLA.
That abortive conversation was, I now realize, the moment of my final conversion to the realization Premier Ralph Klein’s government has become more a private club, rather than an open representative of the Alberta people.
That incident, like my break in 1993 with the federal Progressive Conservatives to Reform after some 28 years of loyalty, made my support for the provincial PCs tenuous at best.
I stress “government’ in the second paragraph above, since many party members, their concerns and ideas tossed in the garbage can by the ingrained PC hierarchy, would still like to have a vibrant government in which their voices are heard.
Don’t hold your breath, my friends.
