... said, are always risky and unlikely to succeed. Instead, the smart money will quietly support Danielle and abandon the drifting, factionally divided, self-destructive hulk that the Stelmach party has become. Today the initiative belongs to Smith and the Wildrose, much as it belonged to Peter Lougheed in the dog days of Social Credit, and largely for the same reason: the newcomers...

It was the first, difficult, and potentially parlous task facing whoever won the leadership race of Alberta’s blossoming Wildrose Alliance party this weekend in Edmonton, and lucky for her, Danielle Smith pulled it off. The party had tangled itself on a major organizational snafu: with membership exploding—the Wildrose now 1,000% larger than it was at the start of the year—the...

Looks like what I expected had come true. Now, I may not agree with many Wildrose Alliance ideas, I still want to congratulate Ms. Danielle Smith for winning the Wildrose Alliance leadership. If the rising of the Wildrose Alliance means the main stream political parties like the Progressive Conservatives, Liberals, and NDPs are forced listen more to their supporters [...]

It is also a very exciting victory that has brought fiscal conservatives and libertarians a new hope, not just for Alberta but for Canada as well. I think that Ms. Smith was the best choice and I congratulate WA members for making it. Now get out there and rescue your province...

... joylessness, that I thoroughly enjoyed my interview with Wildrose Alliance leadership candidate Danielle Smith. When she speaks about the multi-billion-dollar deficit that the Alberta Tories have created – a sad fact that makes most of us Albertans simply cry into our security blankets – she comes across as serene and poised to tackle the problems with all the energy (and she’s packing...

... possible contender in the US with an IQ of more than 60?Tim Smythsays:Paul, Sarah Palin is not Danielle Smith or Stephen Harper. Harper and Smith actually want to govern and seem to enjoy the art of politics. Palin is more akin to Kim Campbell and we all know were that led. As an American who lives in the US and who has to follow Canadian politics for my job I am deeply suspicous...
