1. Something about rats…..and….sinking ships.
   Anyway there was an interview with her on the afternoon program.
   Sounded as though there is too much interference in business enterprise, not enough attention to the education and healthcare, spending in the wrong places……
   Uncertain which way the wind blows.

2. She may have just swallowed the red pill.

3. Sounds like she really wants to be a Liberal, but will settle for the slightest reduction in her chances of becoming a former MLA.

4. These aisle shifters really annoy me, regardless of the party they are coming from or going to. What makes them think that the electorate actually voted for THEM??
   In most cases, voters are voting for the party or the leader, and the local MLA or MP just happens to be the name on the piece of paper.
   If they want to serve their people, they should resign and have a by-election. Then they would find out if they really mattered at all, or if they won by party affiliation.
   Hubris to think that we voted for THEM. Usually we voted for the party.

5. Prior to the next AB election, she’s become a member of the Not Dat Party.
   Once re-elected, she’ll return to the NDP. (And write it off as being a minor squabble.)

6. Maybe the Knee-Dippers were too “sexist” for her?

7. “It wasn’t an issue of personality. It is really me believing I can be a bigger voice for the people of Calgary-Mckay-Nose Hill as an Independent.”
   Huh. So she’s my MLA. First time I’ve seen her or that I remember hearing her name.
   How about actually coming to the riding once in a while and talking to us?
   captcha “Only Extra” Hmm. So I needed to make political donations to meet her. Par for the course with that party.

8. WTF do editors do anymore?
   “The move means the NDP holds 54 seats to the NDP’s 27, with one Alberta Party, one Liberal, one PC and three Independents. ”

9. Getting more polarised?

10. Socialism is like a nude beach, it sounds like a great idea….

11. . . . until you get burned.
