Well it looks as though history just might be repeating itself. As Stemach announces that he will have more involvement from Calgary and Edmonton MLA's in the cabinet, in Red Deer today a right wing party is having their founding meeting. They do not want the Liberals to win by default in the next election so they hope to have their party ready for the next election.
Although Alberta has a long history (better yet, its whole history) based on third parties (UFA, Social Credit, PC), what is the likelihood that another 3rd party will take the helm in governing Alberta?
Unlikely...why? Alberta's demographics are quickly changing with the upsurge in immigration. Urban outnumber rural Albertans, where urban is more likely to vote for parties that are not conservative, let alone a right-wing party that will probably more right than the current PC government.
Second, in all of Alberta's governing parties, it has always been the third leader of the government that brought the party down...Charles Stewart (Liberal), Richard Reid (UFA), Harry Strom (SC), however Klein, being the third Premier from the PC's was to be the one to bring the party down. The tradition of third leaders bringing their third party down has been broken with Stemach being elected the fourth Premier from the Progressive Conservatives. Therefore, the likelihood of a third party coming to take control of government is not looking very promising…the cycle may just be broken.
What happened to the good old days when third parties could do some good? Manning needs to come out of hiding...

Yet I am with you on the *GREEN* side of things. AlGore and Mr. *Fruitfly* trying to bring some enviro-awareness to the unthinking masses.
Pollution is the culprit of course, however *Global Warming* [snowing in Brazil today], is a good ploy to get people*s attention.
Personally, I can*t wait for an efficient EV or compressed air automobile. No more $400 a month for dangerous smelly Exxon-Mobile fuel that I pump into my car while staff sit in the store, warm and dry.
Did you know that Paris taxis run on compressed air? Like a steam engine with not heat and no steam. Did you know that Tata Motors India produce the compressed air car for Indians at three to $4000 each?

Did you know that good battery technology exists and Chevron holds the patents? We could have been driving electric cars since 1992 since the GM EV-1. Ever watch *Who killed the Electric car?*
Is it possible that Chevron, Exxon and General Motors have common shareholders? Interesting that Exxon-Mobile produce a special polymer film for modern lightweight Lithium -Poly batteries. The very basic requirement for a firesafe large format power pack for automotive use. = TG
