Yikes...

Good news: the Conservative candidate in the Calgary-Glenmore byelection gets beaten like the proverbial rented mule. Premier Ed Stelmach's leadership - or lack thereof - is cited as one of the principal issues leading to the defeat.

Bad news: the candidate who wins the byelection is from the Wildrose Alliance, which is to the Alberta Conservatives what the Reform Party was to the federal PCs, lo these many years ago.

Only in Alberta will you find a rightist government being taken to task for not being far enough to the right. It is to weep.
