Needs or greed? We don't need 90% of the resources we consume with useless electronic toys, nuke and coal fired plants, oil and gas. I know how you think on this and we will just have to agree to disagree.
How many people do you suggest we off to achieve sustainability and once it is leveled out, who should be allowed to have kids? Oil and gas are the reason there are 7 Billion souls on this planet. Take that away and BILLIONS die.
Every party has its "freaks". There really is no way around that. The PC's need to have there pee pee slapped.
With 25 % undecided, guess it could change now could it not? Now if a fed Con made anywhere near some of the comments some of her candidates have made Harper would eat their soul.

The answer is surprising. As a change agent, Wildrose is remarkably change-adverse.
The party shows no leadership with regard to Alberta’s critical oil-sands industry. Its main policy document barely mentions the oil sands (and then only to complain about public funding for two “anti-oil-sands documentaries”). Ms. Redford, by contrast, is more positive; her Canadian Energy Strategy would facilitate the shipment of oil-sands oil to Asia, the U.S. and Central Canada; she also promises to help fund oil-sands extraction technology.
In health care, the Conservatives are also more constructive and imaginative. They promise 140 family care clinics, where not only doctors, but nurses can provide services, an innovation that will relieve the pressure on emergency wards. They also talk about “fast-track” emergency rooms, where obvious ailments will be diverted for quick treatment. In response, Wildrose promises wait-time guarantees, failing which the procedures will be done out of province or in private facilities – sort of a hangman’s approach to health care.
Clearly, these policies do not account for the surge in Wildrose support. This is a party that failed to elect a single MLA in the 2008 election. Now, polls suggest it will form the next government. So what, then, is behind its rise?
Some of it may relate to its adoption of “Alberta first” or “firewall” rhetoric. Despite Alberta’s enormous, and growing, economic might in Canada, and its considerable political influence nationally – with a Conservative government led by a Calgary MP – Wildrose has still found fertile ground with the insular little Alberta narrative.
But Wildrose’s growth began, not coincidentally, when the province was hit hard by falling energy prices in 2008-9. Government spending had jumped, public sector pay greatly outpacing the rest of the country. Then, the Alberta government saw a projected $8.5-billion surplus evaporate, and instead posted a $1.4-billion deficit. The government responded to the recession by joining the worldwide consensus in favour of stimulative spending.
The Conservative record on fiscal policy, then, is the central issue in the current campaign.
LMAO....gave you a green....but here's your link:
Conservatives Give More to Charity than Liberals? - Casting Stones
Not sure if I even know any liberals, so I wouldn't know. I was just in the mood to use the "Link Please" line. Never used it before.
They can't make up their minds?
Well it is from what I gather the highest number with a week or so to go. They decide the election.
I think if Alberians really want change, they should vote Liberal or NDP or even Green. I would really like to see that because the day after would be a riot to watch.
