Are Politics moving to the right in both Alberta and Ottawa?
Are Politics moving to the right in both Alberta and Ottawa?
Last week Ted Morton is given the purse strings in Alberta, clearly a step to deflate the growing support of the the Wildrose party, by appealing to the right wing voters in the province.
This week Stockwell Day is placed in charge of the Federal Treasury, clearly one of Harpers most trusted and right wing lieutenants.
Politically I understand the swing to the right in Alberta, but Ottawa I am having trouble understanding that.
Alberta no matter what the Liberals and NDP's say is a right wing province that is not going to change in the foreseeable future, it will remain either right wing or even more right wing.
Ottawa that's a different story they obviously have more than one province to please, Stockwell Day, right wing Conservative, Harper Loyalist, from Alberta.
How will that play in Ontario, Quebec, Atlantic Provinces, everywhere but the West.
And what does it say about the fiscal direction of both the province and Ottawa.
