NDP slide to third place as premier's approval rating falls: poll

[gerryh]

That is sort of what I was alluding to........................note my use of the word "competent".

So, are you saying he was incompetant when his approval rating was only 20%?

Not at all................unpopular maybe! Didn't he get tough with the nurses at one point and tell them to quit whining and get back to work?

The point is, notley may be at 27% right now, but she is not the only premier of this province that has had low ratings and still managed to pull off another majority government by the time elections rolled around.

I just scanned through the account of Ralph Klein in Wikipedia and for all that was lacking in Ralph there was a toughness of character (thick skin) that carried him a lot further than his academic credentials ever would and I'd be surprised if Notley could compete with that. The fact that a law firm hired him as an advisor when he had no training in "law" says a lot. I would say that Ralph Klein was absolutely the exact opposite of Justin Trudeau.

Who's comparing Klein to Trudeau? I know I'm not, nor would I even suggest such a thing. I didn't even mention Trudeau, so I really don't know where that is coming from.

Just my characterization of the two men. You have no obligation to agree with me.

We weren't talking about "the two men". We were talking about notley having only a 27% aproval rating and I brought up Klein as an example of how that doesn't mean they are done.

I mean, what does Trudeau have to do with this OP?

Not a lot other than one was a provincial leader while the other is a federal leader and some may find it interesting to compare traits with those who succeed to traits of those who fail. (If in fact Trudeau is going to fail)

Have fun with turning another thread not about Trudeau into one about Trudeau.
