Resignation from PC Party of Alberta

It is with great regret that I am announcing, immediately, my resignation from the Presidency of the Lethbridge East PC Association, and from my ongoing involvement with the Progressive Conservative Association of Alberta.

I have greatly enjoyed my work with members from Lethbridge East and Lethbridge West, and others throughout Alberta, however, for reasons I would prefer to keep to myself at this time, I have chosen to pursue other community involvements.

Best of wishes to those continuing in their involvement with the PC Party.

Best of luck and I hope you will continue to share your political views and opinions.

This is a must read blog.

Oh. No problem with that. Just now I'm non-partisan.

Sort of.

Great news,

I look forward to the less filtered R.G. Harvie model!

I imagine it will be more colourful.

All the best with your other community endeavors.

So what happened? Spill.

If you got .jpgs of Stelmach banging a goat I want them.

Also, weird that Wildrose is starting to screw over their grassroots just as they start getting taken seriously as a political party. Maybe its some kind of natural progression?

I will never say a negative thing about Premier Stelmach, he is one of the most honorable people I have met in politics. However, at some point the machinery becomes so entrenched that you cease believing in your ability to be part of the solution and start to feel like you have become part of the problem.

At that point you move on.

I read your post today, and while I hate the discussion of "grass roots", there is a problem in politics generally with the fundamental understanding that politics is about helping your community, not your self or your friends.

Join the club. I signed onto Blogging Tories thinking I was pretty conservative. I have since discovered I'm more of a maverick than I realize and that I'm pretty independent. Too independent to be beholden to either party.

Welcome to the growing group known as the Former PCs - I quit last year at this time over Bill 44 that set education back t the 50s and victimized teachers.
