Notley has rare quality of leadership

Re. “Notley channelled the Lougheed era,” Opinion, April 13

Like Mr. Allan Warrack, my Progressive Conservative Party no longer exists but I readily share his opinion on Rachel Notley.

It’s all about leadership in a political world in which a paucity of that quality is an increasingly rare commodity. Alberta would not be well-served by removing her from office and replacing her with but a poor shadow of herself. Our province needs the stability and leadership only she can provide.

Silence on election vandalism troubles

It has come to my attention, from a few unconnected sources, that signs for the Alberta NDP have been damaged during this campaign.

This troubles me deeply because in a healthy democracy there ought to be space for people with differing views on the future of Alberta to be able to demonstrate which party they believe is best placed to take the province into the next four years.

To what extent this is a problem is unknown but the silence of the other party leaders on this issue is troubling. The question which remains for me is why any provincial party would want the support of anyone who destroys the property of the NDP.

Why have we not heard from the other party leaders that they do not condone these actions and furthermore do not want the support of anyone who deliberately destroys the property of the NDP? Why are the other party leaders silent?
