I'm sick of the PC party always having the "run of the roost" in northern Alberta. They don't even have to try here anymore, there's no fight in it for them. When's the last time a politician came to your door and asked you what you wanted in an election? The PC party has turned over their coveted seats here in both provincial and federal elections and no one questions "who is this new candidate?", "what will they do for us?". The little old people who have voted PC for 37 years, get into their little old cars and drive down to their little old halls and shake hands with their little old friends and complain about all thats wrong with this area.....HELLO....you could change that right then and there!!! I hope for a day when the PC party loses this riding and it sends shockwaves through that party for being so neglectful to our area, they would be looking at us with a microscope to figure out what went wrong and then we would get our voice heard. The candidates serving in office now are riding the coat tails of a hot era of Tory government and getting full pensions for doing nothing. It has to end and we need to make our MLAs work for their money. I encourage more younger people to take note of the issues, for many it is your first time voting and you are looking at it with a clean slate. This is the best opportunity for a region to elect a member with solid goals for its people. For the older voters who don't even look at the names anymore and just check off the little box with PC next to it cause that's what you have always done and you think "well it hasn't been so bad".... I do not want to hear you complain again about what is wrong with this province!!!
