Sept 20th - The Race is on . . .

I promise that there will rarely ever be partisian party politics in this spot.  This website is an MLA - Constituency site and will remain so.  However, it doesn't matter what party you belong to -  it became official.  The Premier submitted his letter, the race is officially on, the dates for debates are set, and the voting dates are set.  December 2nd there will be a new Premier of this province.  This is important to all because regardless of the party you support or align with, everyone will take this opportunity in the coffee shops, water coolers and hallways to discuss the future of this province.    We sit on the cusp of opportunity in the Province, and if we don't grab hold, it means failure.  We all need to enter into the discussion to be part of the debate.  Maybe you don't want to entere the debate about who should be Premier, but everyone should entere the one about how our Alberta should look in the future. 

If you are interested in the debates or in voting in the race I post the information below:
