This Week in Alberta - Looking for a Leader


All eyes are on the PC and Liberal leadership races this summer in Alberta. Well, all eyes are on the PC leadership race, and a few eyes are glancing over at the Liberal one every now and then.

Still, the five Liberal candidates held a lively debate in Edmonton on Wednesday - you can read recaps of it here and here. Monday's debate in Calgary appears to have been a bit tamer, but Laurie Blakeman grabbed some headlines by suggesting the party should only run candidates in the seats it can win.

The ALP also earned some (rare) positive media this week, courtesy of the Globe & Mail.

On the PC leadership front, Doug Horner, Gary Mar, and Ted Morton lead the way in terms of caucus support. Mind you, given the increasing number of pot shots the candidates have been taking at their own government, it's unclear whether or not establishment support is actually a good thing.

Finally, for those of you who missed my Stampede Fashion Round-Up, here are some bonus pictures:

  • Those are all horrible. Christ, just one quick trip to Lammle's and a look in the mirror before going outside. That's all it takes peopleT Michael Casey needs to stop wearing jackets - it's making people believe that it's an acceptable form of Stampede attire. And Danielle looks like she should be in the lineup at Cowboys, though the more discerning bouncers would never let her in.

    You should not judge people on how they look, but what they can!

  • Thanks so much for this post. A combination of advice that I've heard before but always bears repeating; plus new tips that I really ought to consider
