It is in my hand. Hard to believe.

It is called a Reunification Agreement.

It is then called a reunion.

And it is all coming down the pike Tuesday.

Yes, it looks like the Wildrosers are going over. They’re really going over.

They’re really going back to Toryland.

Then again there is news some Wildrose MLAs are resisting.

But here’s what these papers coming from a Wildrose source in the dead of night say.

All Wildrose MLAs will be briefed prior to Tuesday’s caucus meeting.

That’s where the decision will be made on joining up with the Progressive Conservatives.

An announcement and a “union of the caucuses” will occur Wednesday.

A letter will be sent to the Wildrose party executive and members inviting them to “formalize the union.”

The Wildrose and PC mucky-mucks will “roll out multiple endorsements for reunion from several senior statesmen from both parties.”

The party will hold a spring vote on the “reunion resolution.”

As for what is known in PR as “overall messaging” they will speak of “the reunion of the conservative family under Premier Prentice.”

Prentice, says the messaging, “has shown himself to be a man of integrity and an exceptionally competent leader at a time of great economic uncertainty.”

Prentice, continues the Wildrose PR, has “adopted the vast majority of Wildrose policies and principles.”

The premier wants each Wildrose MLA “to take up meaningful roles in his government to continue this work.”

Then there’s this line.

“There is no point fighting against an administration committed to implementing virtually all of our core initiatives and policies.”

And this one, playing the low oil price card.

“In this time of declining oil prices and economic uncertainty it is imperative we come together as conservatives.”

Prentice and Wildrose leader Danielle Smith will send letters to the Wildrose exec and members inviting Wildrosers to “formally recognize this reunion by resolution to be voted on by the Wildrose membership.”

As for policies, the agreement outlines the following.

Full MLA-driven review of all Stelmach and Redford property rights bills.

A public list of priorities for major construction projects and maintenance.

Free votes for private member bills and motions and government bills on issues of conscience.

Increasing patient choice in health care within the Canada Health Act.

A plan to make health care financially sustainable.

Addressing the school shortage and maintenance backlog.

A commitment to the 3Rs in the provincial curriculum.

Ensuring each school board uses a grading system that’s easy for parents to understand and objectively grades a student’s skills and knowledge of the provincial curriculum.

An ongoing commitment to protecting the rights of parents in making informed choices about their child’s education.

Don’t forget the budget.

A multi-year plan to balance the budget, including capital costs, put an end to debt financing and paying back the debt.

A plan to grow the Heritage Fund.

Limit operating cost increases to the rate of inflation plus population.

No sales tax and keeping Alberta’s taxes the lowest in Canada.

The stuff on environment and energy is motherhood and apple pie.

You know, be as clean as possible, monitor the air, water and land quality, expand access to markets for oilpatch product and don’t hike those royalties.

For local governments the PCs with Wildrose floorcrossers promise to “develop a stable and predictable municipal funding model.”

Then there are the Wildrose MLAs wanting to keep their seats.

Prentice will publicly endorse Wildrose MLAs as his preferred candidate for their riding “in the name of reconciliation.”

He will also urge PC boards to welcome Wildrosers on to those boards.

Any Wildrose member will be given a PC membership for free.

There will be a motion from the PC executive to all PC members endorsing the contents of the premier’s endorsement letter.

This one is a gem.

“The assurance that if an individual does decide to challenge an MLA despite the premier’s endorsement there will be a call reminding them of the premier’s endorsement.”

It is hard to believe this is real.

Some tell me Smith no longer has fire in the belly.

The byelection losses and the two Wildrosers joining the PCs seemed to have taken its toll on the party.

What was called a movement just a few months back is now ... what?

One quick question comes to mind.

What was the Wildrose all about?
