With a whimper, forty-four years of conservative rule came to an abrupt end in Alberta yesterday. The New Democrats under Rachel Notley won a decisive majority, and the incumbent conservatives have been all but dealt out.
I haven't been back to Alberta for 15 years, but apparently the corruption and arrogance of the conservative regime had become absolutely breathtaking.
Oilmen--the Alberta industrial elite--are already issuing warnings to the incoming government and promises of pain and loss to an electorate that they now dislike very much.
