After a few days break

I am back and blogging. Now that the election is over, where does one turn his attention to? Dino over at BPoC has a little CPoC watch going on. Like him I will be watching carefully to make sure that they don't screw up and are held accountable as all governments should be.

I have spent most of the past week reading left leaning blogs and making the odd comment. What I have seen is not pretty for the most part. But I did see a few rays of sunshine peeking through the cracks at a few.

In the comming months there should be plenty to blog about when the liberal leadership race gets into full swing and Mr. Harpers New government gets settled in and parliament gets back to work. Until then...

Well... Ralph Klein seems like a good target. Little old King Ralph, the man who at one time had idea's and did a wonderful job of bringing this province out of the doldrums it was in. Yes we the fine people of Alberta paid a heavy price to get things to where they are today. Ralph slashed funding to eveything and anything to get finances under control. They were not pleasant times here in Alberta. Now times have changed and Ralphs vision is blurred. His best before date has long expired. New idea's are non exsistent. He continually rehashes the same old crap he has been spewing for the past few years. "The Third way" he proclaims proudly. Yet I challenge anyone to show me anywhere, anything in which he explains this in any detail. He keeps sqauking but we see little in the way of what he actually wants to do. Everyone can speculate and most think of the worst case senario. OMG! an American system! Personally I don't see that happening. A meeting somewhere in between the "old" Canadian system and the American system is what I forsee in the future. The option of having "essential" health care being done in the public sytem in a timely manor or having private insurance that may get you in and out a little quicker and covering non "essential" items. What one would consider "essential" and where that line will be drawn is anybodies guess at this point.

Anywho.... it is time for Ralph to go, retire, resign, be defeated, whatever the case may be. We seriously need someone with new idea's and a new inspired vision of where Alberta will head in the years to come. Who that person is... I have no clue at this point. No single person or alternate political party as of yet stands out in the crowd.
