The Glob Knows What Alberta Thinks.

Look, any paper is free to report on the Alberta election, but can the Glob at least get it right? Instead of reporting only what Daft Taft tells his party members, they should try for a little tiny bit of balance.

Calgary poised to go Liberal, party Leader says

“We think, come the day after the next election, people are going to wake up and see that Calgary's a Liberal city,” he said to a smattering of applause.

In the not-so-distant past, such a pronouncement would have been laughable in this true-blue Tory city, home of the oil giants that drive the country's economy. It was Edmonton – derisively dubbed Redmonton – that was considered most vulnerable for Tories. But now, as Albertans prepare to head to the polls March 3 to decide whether to extend 37 years of Progressive Conservative rule, Calgary finally looks ripe to turn Liberal red.

So, how ripe is Calgary? Read the comments. Not very. Most Calgary PC candidates won with between 40 and 60 percent of the vote.

With the Liberals promoting climate change and the environment, they are a good gauge for Dion and the federal Liberals. Let's see how a carbon tax goes over in an Alberta election. That should be interesting.

It's hard to even tell an election is happening here in Alberta, so the Glob openly promoting the Liberals is another example of their biased, everything Liberal approach.

This is the article in the Edmonton Sun that I think they should have promoted instead.

He Stands For All NATO Soldiers.

As his proud soldier-father looked on, a Canadian private received a prestigious medal on behalf of all NATO soldiers at the 44th Munich Conference on Security Policy in Germany Saturday.
Pte. Michael O’Rourke accepted the Peace Through Dialogue Medal which has been awarded by the conference each year since 2005 to honour outstanding contributions to international peace and security.

In receiving the medal O’Rourke joins the EU’s foreign policy chief Javier Solana, U.S. Senator John McCain, who’s vying for the Republican presidential nomination, and former United Nations secretary general Kofi Annan.

Not a whisper of this medal on the Glob, guess it was too pro-military, you know, the guys with (shudder) guns.

UPDATE: the Glob, feeling they hadn't been biased enough just had to add this little article. Stelmach staff ‘talking down' to candidates, Calgary Tory says
