Register for the party that aligns with you most, and get your boots on the ground by volunteering, attending events, and becoming a registered party member.

Being a registered party member also allows you the opportunity to become involved in the process of choosing the best candidates for the next election.

The truth is the average person is "OK" with this. Or just doesn't think it effects them.

The referendum thing is an unmistakable nod towards the separatists. It basically halves the number of ultraconservative fanatics she needs to round up in order to make her "national unity crisis" momentarily appear like it wasn't completely made up.

So you're saying we could get 178k people and hold a referendum on whether the Albertans agree to have Family Day become a monthly paid statutory holiday - on the third Friday of every month?

Longest referendum ballot challenge?

This sounds like a fun can of worms! Can't wait for the debate in the newly renamed "Ledgy McLedgeface"!

If PC are always going to win at least sign up and vote for the least crazy leader. I can't help but feel this is all fallout from the wild rose ordeal.
