As Alison Redford gets sworn in today as Alberta's 14th Premier, Danielle Smith and Wildrose leave no grass growing underneath their feet. Is the next campaign already underway? Wildrose has released two TV ads attacking Alison on her flip flopping. Take a look here at the first one.
Now take a look at the other one.
It's obvious Danielle is trying to define her opponent before her opponent tries to define herself. It's a page out of PM Stephen Harper's playbook that worked out so well for the CPC when they came out early defining two former Liberal leaders, Stephane Dion and Michael Ignatieff.
Will this tactic work for Danielle and Wildrose? We'll have to wait and see but one thing we know, next election Albertans will have a real choice that they haven't had in such a long time. The difference between the Wildrose and the PC's are striking. The Progressive Conservative party is in no means "conservative."
The PC's have clearly drifted to the left,to the progressive side. The old tired establishment PC's are for big government just like the Liberals,and the ND"s. and they are beholding to special interest groups and unions like Alison who just made a backroom deal with the teacher's union to reinstate $107 million dollars of taxpayer's money that was cut in the spring budget.
Wildrose on the other hand is a small government grass roots kind of party and not beholding to unions or special interest groups and will not make back room deals for power.
I can't wait till next election. It will be an exciting one! Let the games begin!
And did you read where Redford's chief of staff has reneged on court ordered payments of over 400,000 dollars. Why didn't this come out before the election,

ReplyDeleteThat's a very good question and yes,I did,MaryT. I don't know butI guess maybe the others were too timid to bring it up because they wanted cabinet positions.
I love these ads because first and foremost, they're respectful, get the facts out, and less cynical for an attack ad. I'm not necessarily a Wildrose fan (although I am CPC), but Danielle comes across as fresh and reasonable. It reminds me of the NDP ads in the May 2011 election.

ReplyDeleteThey are. I guess you can call them "truth" ads.
The ads are really good, and truthful. I like the fact that Wildrose is not afraid to define RED Al so that Alberta wakes up to the fact that the PC's are not Conservative in any way, shape or form.
ReplyDeleteYou see how fast Albertans react to Alison's secrecy yet Ontario couldn't do the same to Dalton years ago.
ReplyDeleteLook out for speedy implimentation bills for Alison's friends.
Alison Redford's 'hidden agendas are unraveling.
Lets make sure that she doesn't waver out of our sight.

ReplyDeleteYou are so right,Jen. We must watch her like a hawk. I frankly don't trust her. Most of the caucus mustn't either. She only had one MLA come out and support her during the campaign.
At least WRA is preparing themselves for an election whereas Redford though that she won already.
ReplyDeleteShe just replaced the leader of her party that is all so she better not push her union agendas before the election or else you know what.
BTW, the prime minister and daughter with Shelley Glover are at the JETS GAME.
Oh another thing, some fool decided to build a bicycle path on 10th street without the permission from the mayor or so he says that he had no clue of this bike path.
I am AT CALGARY right now at my sister in law's house CDBRAE.
CPC politicians were quite active in the Ontario election. I wonder if they'll endorse PC or Wildrose candidates.
ReplyDeleteSome local alertan sent messsge to the news station that Dannielle ads are too harsh on Redford- to give her time.
ReplyDeleteDannielle did the right thing from the get go. What Alison did cozying with the unions to get more votes was sneaking.
Anytime unions get involve promoting a party is not for 'free' which Alison should have known before.
I must admit Mrs Smith has piqued my interest here in the East.Ill keep listening Wildrose.
