Calgary Libertarian

A great simple explanation of how inflation works and why we can’t spend our way out of recession.

Alberta’s political parties have already announced their candidates:

* Calgary city councillor Diane Colley-Urquhart Alberta Conservatives.
* Psychiatrist and health-care activist Avalon Roberts for the Alberta Liberals.
* Eric Carpendale, 29, an electrician who works for the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers union for the provincial NDP.
* Paul Hinman, who stepped down as party leader for the Wildrose Alliance.
* Len Skowronski ,Leader of the social Credit party for Social Credit.

The Tories have held this riding for fourty years. I think its time for a change, send the provincial government a message that you are unhappy with how they are handling the issues in Alberta. Remind them who is in charge and cast your vote for whom ever you think represents you the best. I am unable to vote in that riding but if I was I would be supporting Paul Hinman, he is an advocate for smaller government and personal responsibility despite the ruling parties name they are not conservatives they believe in big government and they have a state knows best attitude. Look at all the recent projects and programs they have created. They have ran up our budget to an unsustainable amount they increased taxes on the entire province through the royalty change (Yes when oil companies are taxed every one is taxed) and they have even gone begging for money from the federal government, When did Alberta become a ward of the federal government?

Alberta needs to rise up and tell the conservative party that they are not the natural governing party in the province and that we are tired of there big government activity. We need to elect a party that understands what made and makes Alberta great which is hard work ,dedication from the people and responsible, limited government. I believe that the ideals of the reform party and the younger conservative party (the party of the 90’s) lives today in the WildRose Alliance if you live in this riding please vote for the WileRose Alliance party but most importantly get out and vote other wise the active minority (or political elite) get to make the choices for you and that is not a free society.

If you read this blog you know I am a supporter of Danielle Smith and the WileRose Alliance. Danielle will be helping Paul with his campaign this weekend. If you want to volunteer check out her site. Also memberships are only 10$ and can really help the party make a difference. www.daniellesmith.com

Like I have mentioned before I am a supporter of Danielle Smith for the leadership of the wild Rose Alliance. I think she is the closest person we got to a libertarian running in the province at this moment. If any thing she will pave the way for more libertarian like people to run in the future. Here is an e-mail that was sent to me from her campaign management.

Our monthly Calgary libertarian meetup meeting is today. We have 15 people RSVP’ed but expect people to bring friends so the count will likely be around 25 people. All are welcome even if you did not rsvp.

As mentioned before I am a supporter of Danielle Smith, I feel she is the closest candidate we have to libertarian values. If she gets elected it is a step in the right direction. Perhaps making it easier for future libertarian minded people to get elected. Here is a her policy on democratic reform.
