Over in Alberta...

Ralph Klein has been given only 55% approval at the PC convention- not a personal rebuff, but a clear sign the party wants to find a new leader and move forward with a rejuvenated agenda.

Even more intriguing, Preston Manning is airing leadership feelers. He would be incredibly good, not only for the province of Alberta, but for Canada as a whole. He is an incredibly gracious, intelligent and endearing man, whom I had the great privilege to meet earlier this year.
