The night before Alberta Tories cast their votes on his leadership, I asked Ed Stelmach what message he had for party members unhappy with the direction of his government. His response was almost incredulous. "What direction?" the provincial Premier wanted to know, insisting on specifics. When I told him that members in Calgary had been complaining that he wouldn't listen to them about changes...
