Haha Alberta just elected a near socialist government

This guy is now (partly) responsible for leading the 'Texas of the north'. Awesome.

He's even one in a pretty traditionally conservative / oil and gas based, riding.

wait, wait...he's conservative and socialist? I missed something here.

Well I did see a pig fly last night. In all my life I never thought Alberta the Canadian bastion of the ONE PARTY state would ever NOT vote Conservative. But with the crashing economy of oil and gas in Alta and the soon to see collapsing of the Alberta housing market which will soon spread through out the rest of Canada well I guess the voters want to feed the NDP to the wolves. That or maybe demographics in Alta are changing more like Saskatchewan and Manitoba who both have flipped often from voting left for NDP and then right for Conservatives.
