Indeed this are the End Times.

Now, if they keep with all other politicians, they've lied through their teeth and will be lining their own pockets starting today.

Yes, but they'll move slowly at first, until they learn how much they can get away with. That's the advantage of changing governing parties frequently - the entitlements get less of a chance to get entrenched, the govt just doesn't get to thinking it'st he natural governing party.

I am happy for the science of polling. After getting predictions in three elections disastrously wrong, they would have forever been thrown into disrepute had they gotten this one wrong.

I imgaine there was a collective sphincter-clench in Ottawa.

And the Flames won!

It's like I woke in the Spock-with-a-beard universe.

Meanwhile in Ottawa, he can still be found in this position with this expression.

Crap, I wanted to see how the PC's were going to build those 100 new schools....or was it just the original 50 schools promised twice.

And let the howling begin:

$1:

'As an investor in the oil patch, you're going to get your teeth kicked in.'

one of the lowest royalty regimes in the world, but omg if they dare to raise them a bit. Meanwhile, oil has rallied, and Alberta heavy crude has shot up in comparison to the Brent index, ie the discount for Alberta oil is a lot less than it was. But don't let that stop you from crying the sky is falling because the NDP got in.

That won't happen until they've been in power for a year or so.

[andyt]

Well, at least that will give people something to do after the NDP confiscates their guns and nationalizes the oil patch. Oh, and your house. They're taking that too. Invest in cardboard boxes while you still can.

You can have the homosexuality I'll just take the heroin to numb the pain.

Notley deliberate didn't mention Mulcair at all during her speech so I'm taking that as the first sign that they're going to try to maintain as much respectful distance as possible between the provincial government and the whackjobs in the federal Dippers. If Mr. Harper sees the writing on the wall and moves towards the new Alberta government in a positive way then I expect that this province will still be Death Valley for the federal NDP. Honestly I could see Albertans turning out in big numbers for Justin Trudeau, if Harper fucks up this new relationship with Alberta that's been forced on him, long before anyone out here takes a nutcase like Mulcair to heart.
