Interesting...
In my pile of daily readings, I found the little snippet below from Insight. For those of you without background on this, Klein announced that the government would be spending $3 million dollars during the November elections to 'elect' Senators (for the full story, go here). "On the surface, Senate elections are a frivilous act. The federal government isn't interested in piecemeal reform of the Senate.... Something more subtle may be at work. An argument can be made that the Senate election has nothing to do with the Senate at all. With the Senate election being held at the same time as the provincial election, Albertans in the ballot box will be reminded that most of them don't like the federal government and its institutions. They will also be reminded that Ralph Klein and the Conservatives don't like the federal government either.Have I mentioned that I love my job? And despite the facts that I still hate Alberta politics, they're just so much more interesting that Manitoban antics? Liberated at 3:13 p.m. | |
