A controversial video released by a bunch of concerned voters tells people to vote strategically in an election being held in Alberta which is a province in Canada.A party called the wildrose which is a more right wing party then the progressive conservative party in Alberta is expected to destroy the 41 year old PC dynasty in an election being held next monday.Even though the PC party of Alberta have done some horrible things to Alberta I don't completely trust the party that will most likely destroy them in the upcoming election in Alberta.

Strategic voting has been a pretty common theme in Canadian politics, so I don't see why people are complaining about it. I think it's past time the Alberta PCs got turfed out as they've become rather complacent and arrogant, which is not surprising after 41 years of power. Personally I'm hoping for a Wildrose minority come Monday, so all the bandwagon voters will be able to sample Wildrose rule, prior to quickly tossing them out on their asses.

Yeah!Don;t trust the wildrose, but I do kinda like my local PC candidate. The Liberal's are good and the NDP's are good, but one of those party's will sink into irrrevelancy after the election if they are not lucky.I hope the wildrose wins a minority so they can possibly be booted out ealrly.

They are a bunch of religious nutjobs who think Canada needs to become the United States in the 1950's. If they actually win, it will be a sad day in Western civilization.

Boss, Xile, and Foxhound and a collection of slobbish looking actors who look like they just got out of bed don't like the party?

>Votes for Wild Rose with the extra satisfaction of knowing they'd be upset.

And y'know, these kinds of ads make American politics look sophisticated in comparison.

That worries me. Have they ever stated their views or what they stand for? All I know is that they are right-winged and haven't heard about any of their policies.

They pretty much told us what their going to do, but they haven't told us how they are going to do all the things they promised.

Have no clue.The only thing that kinda seems logical from them is to get rid of the MLA pay increase that redford put into law.

Anyone who doesn't vote Liberal doesn't like Alberta. Unfortunately, the Liberals don't stand a chance.

The liberals will pretty much be decimated after this election from what I heard.
