Liberal success good news for Alberta

Whether you were happy or disheartened with the federal election results in Alberta, one pollster says the election of four Liberals in Edmonton and Calgary will likely be good news for the province.

Polling research firm Return on Insight was one of the few that predicted the Liberal majority in Monday's vote. Company president Bruce Cameron says he wasn't surprised to see the red tide make at least a small splash in urban Alberta.

"We (forecasted) it because we saw that the momentum was definitely shifting to the Liberals," Cameron said Wednesday, adding the party had well-timed party momentum at the end of the campaign.

While some may be wary of what may happen to the province's energy industry under Liberal rule, Cameron said the party has a strong reputation when it comes to environmental protection and has placed a clear emphasis on approving pipelines and solidifying Canada's place on the international market.

"I believe ... that a Liberal government may do a much better job of gaining market access than the outgoing Conservative government," Cameron said.

Some people can't yet get over the fact the Tories lost and one of them spends
his day giving me little red ticks for being critical of the Conservatives. oh and
I consider each as a badge of honor.
The Liberals didn't defeat the Tories, the gang up of parties and groups like
lead now didn't defeat the Tories.

The Tories Defeated the Tories. Tories in Ottawas isolated themselves from
reality. They insisted on going beyond conservative fiscal policy and went into
the social arena where Canadians don't want to go. They became cos tic and
arrogant like they were twenty feet tall and bullet proof. Harper thought he was
now the king and could do as he pleased and the rest of us said enough.

So many said enough even Fortress Calgary elected Liberals.
And yes the Liberals will likely do a better job in finding markets and they will
cooperate with the Provincial NDP to rebuild what the federal and provincial
Tories screwed up. The current government is living with the mess created
before they got there. They are still using former government books until they
get through the session. The figures the Conservatives tried to hide with an
early election are staggering but the two governments now working together
will re-position Alberta into a more prosperous place

The battle cry of every libtard or dipper government to ever come to power to explain their own financial incompetence.

We shall see. Not EVERYTHING Gliberals do is sleazy, unconscionable, or wasteful. But neither are they the means to some utopia.
