Wake Up Alberta!

You know how the media was telling us the Alberta Liberals were going to make big gains in the last provincial election, and we came out and showed by our vote that they were wrong?

Well it's time for Alberta Conservatives to rise up again, but this time it is more important, one lost seat could mean the difference between a majority and a minority.

I noticed a disturbing trend at the door this weekend, Conservatives were complaisant, and voters for the opposition were really ticked off. They are motivated, our voters, not so much, they think we have this election in the bag. We do not. Every riding is a fight, staying at home is not an option.

Wake up Alberta! Get motivated like the last federal election when we could smell victory, when we hungered for the win, when our hearts beat faster because, finally, after 13 dark years we might, just might, win. And we did, we won a slim minority.

The rush when we did it, when we slayed the Liberal dragon, felt soooo good, but that was 2 and a half years ago, the trumpets are not sounding so loud in our ears, the heart beats have slowed, and we just ASSUME we will turn the whole province blue again.

That is our mistake. We are happy because we are in, finally. Wake up Alberta, our vote counts, even if Quebec and Ontario have the most votes, we have proven that we count too, that we have a voice, without us, the Liberals would have won again. If we sit at home expecting other Conservatives to carry the vote, we will lose. We are complaisant, we think we have power because we have oil, but if we have no voice in Ottawa, Dion gets to kill our jobs and create a new NEPII that will suck the life out of Alberta and Saskatchewan as surely as the first Trudeau NEP did.

We face death by carbon tax from the Liberals and Greens. The NDP want to shut down the oilsands. The only party that will protect energy resources is the Conservative party. Do not sit back and think Alberta is safe because the polls favour the Conservatives, this is not a time to get complaisant, it is a time for action, a time to make our voices heard.

Alberta does not deserve to suffer death by carbon taxes. Remember once a tax is imposed, it is never rescinded, like income taxes and the GST, they will never go away.

Let's remind you of the carbon tax...oops green shift, and Jane Taber shrilling for Dion.



Get out and vote Alberta, never ASSUME!
