Alberta’s Tories have repeatedly broken the law (while premier Alison Redford lies and says, “Our party didn’t do anything wrong”), but Albertans are unaware of it for the most part. Looks like people need to start paying more attention to the news.
The latest, over illegal donations to the governing party, is genuinely serious in principle, but may turn out to be no more damaging. A new poll by Leger Marketing shows that 62 per cent of Albertans aren’t even aware of the revelations, even though Wild rose now produces new ones almost daily. Thirty-seven per cent of people who know about the issue say they don’t care; they’ll still vote PC.
The 37% who say they would still vote PC despite the ongoing corruption of the party obviously require an emergency brain transplant.
