From Andrew Cohen in today’s Ottawa Citizen:
If Saskatchewan is poised for change, so is Alberta, where the Conservatives have been in office since 1971. The loss of Ralph Klein’s seat — which the Conservatives held for years — in a recent byelection in Calgary may well be the first knock on the door of their undoing.
Led by the intelligent Kevin Taft, the Liberals offer a government-in-waiting. Mr. Taft’s provocative new book, Democracy Derailed, is a searing indictment of a government that he calls unaccountable and unimaginative in a province coping with explosive growth.
Alberta, like Saskatchewan, is on the cusp of change.
