Wildrose Party defections betray voting public

With a friend like Jason Hale (Strathmore-Brooks MLA), who needs enemies? How could you do this to the people who worked so hard to get you elected as a candidate for Wildrose and all those people who voted for you (including myself) in the last election? In a democracy, it is by the people, for the people.

You truly are a traitor to democracy.

Dictator Prentice wants to spend taxpayer’s dollars for an early election. Why? That is a waste of taxpayer dollars as the Conservatives have a majority. And if they follow the rules, it is to be held in 2016.

Prentice is trying to con Albertans into believing that oil prices are never again going up. Don’t believe him. This is a good way for him and his chosen few to put in a sales tax that will remain forever, no matter how high a barrel of oil will get.

Prentice, I’ll give you a few ideas for you and your party to reduce the debt that has been made by the Conservative Party over 40 some odd years:

Dictator Prentice take a pay cut of 20 per cent;

All MLAs take a 10 per cent pay cut;

All government employees take a five per cent pay cut;

Eliminate severance pay for all elected officials;

All elected officials fund their own pension plans;

Last but not least on my list, downsize the government.
