Leaving Alberta Tories behind a smart move for MLAsRead

As sent to the National Post this morning........

I'm a lover of small government and so was delighted to see on the front page the pro-big government juggernaut of the Alberta Conservatives taking a solid drubbing in the polls and 2 MLAs jumping ship. This is encouraging NEWS, but I urge Danielle Smith to be cautious. 2 days ago these same people were part of a government that for over a decade set records for excess in government. I suspect the recovery rates for Xauthoritarians is less than the single digit chances for other addicts so hopefully they will be limited to very junior roles till they have been thoroughly deprogrammed.

This is a brave and complicated experiment Alberta looks eager to try, to move to a Libertarian leaning government. Don't let impatience to gain power derail that noble goal.
