NDP Minority Govt in Alberta

[ZRrrr]

Markets look to be rallying back quite nicely this morning. TSX Comp back up, TSX S&P 60 back up........

This thread has been beaten to death. Fact is, Our government for the next 4 years will be NDP. If you voted for them, good for you. I sure as hell didn't. I sincerely hope that the NDP doesn't kick the oil and gas industry too hard during this downturn, for EVERY Albertan's sake. Fact is, whether you work directly in the O&G sector or not, your life and livelihood are somewhat dependent on it - whether you are in government, construction, retail, health care, education, or sitting on welfare - we are all affected in one way or another. If you feel that isn't a true statement, then you need to go back under the rock you've been living under, and ensure you put on the blinders (rose colored glasses). Personal and corporate taxes in this province do not cover all the costs of running Alberta.
On another note, those who complain about the overpaid, under skilled O&G worker should realize something: You could have chosen to work in that field. The fact that you don't tells me that you didn't feel it was a good "fit" for you. Everybody in this province has the opportunity to make money and pay taxes if jobs are present - simply because you chose a different career path gives you no right to bitch about another person's choice... unless you've walked a few miles in their shoes. In the grand scheme of things, milk and meat doesn't come from Costco, paper and pens don't come from Wal-Mart, and gasoline doesn't come from FasGas - these products are simply sold there.

You should change your name to Onewisseoldfart. I couldn't agree with you more. All this bitchin' about how the world will come to an end with an NDP government is likely coming from those that didn't Vote at all. My word to those is S.T.F.U. If you didn't vote you have no right to bitch. Like you I did not vote NDP but i'm going to have to live with the fact that the majority of the voters did. Is the world going to come to an end, maybe,but not because the NDP is going to rule the province for the next 4 years. (the world coming to an end is a different subject). Will there be change? I hope so. Will it be better? I hope so. Will the sun rise in the east. I know so. Will the fear mongers be right? I don't know,all we can do is sit, wait and see. If they are right then we all know what we have to do 4 years from now.

So only 40% of the total voters actually voted ndp..... 53% of the total voters were split between wildrose and pc. In todays paper, they are talking about amalgamating the pc and wildrose to form a new party....

Albertans sound like the biggest bunch of whiners in the entire country. We're currently worse than the Quebecois. I'm embarrassed to be grouped in with the whiney Albertans now.

that might work in our favour. Maybe now the Federal Equalization Transfer payments will head in our direction

Here's a run down of all the NDP elected MLA's in Edmonton, very nice summary: Meet the region’s new MLAs . My favorite quote is from Bruce Hinkley, "It's an opportunity to show people socialism is a good thing..."

From what I read, Brian Jean will not entertain the idea of partnering with the PCs.

Wildrose Leader Brian Jean says he won’t entertain idea of merging with Tories
