Two Alberta MLAs join Wildrose party

Two legislature members from Alberta's governing Progressive Conservatives are crossing the floor to the fledgling Wildrose Alliance, and they may be just the first to change parties. Rumours are that more will follow shortly, perhaps this week.

Calgary-Fish Creek MLA Heather Forsyth and Airdrie-Chestermere MLA Rob Anderson announced the move Monday morning at a Wildrose Alliance news conference.

It is amazing just how fast the mighty Alberta Progressive Conservative Party is falling apart -- something we should all remember... .

That's right, the Liberals are standing at the very edge of the precipice at this very moment in time, if IFFY stays as too much longer as leader the LPoC will suffer the very same fate as Red Ed Stelmach is now just starting to realize.

It's simply the Conservative Party being replaced by the Even-More-Conservative Party. I wouldn't read too much into it.

Actually, Downes, it's a liberal with a Conservative-in-name only party that being replaced with a true conservative party.

And given Alberta's history of mass replacement of a sitting political party, it may just amount to something.
