OLD SCHOOL PCS RESISTANT TO ELECTION

It’s difficult to properly illustrate the sheer volume of scheming and skulduggery required to serve for nine years as a Harper Government cabinet minister. They ran repeated minority governments in hostile territory, and they didn’t do it by being nice. Meanwhile, Alberta was until recently the proud home of one of the most calcified political organizations in Canadian history. The thing about a 44-year Progressive Conservative dynasty is that you could spend your entire political career without really having to bloody one’s fists from doorknocking or stay up all night pouring over polling data. Thus, when Kenney buses in a bunch of supporters to swamp a convention, for instance, accusations of “not fair” are not far behind.
