You just have to know that all the PC's big-money vested interests are having major conniptions right now. They’re on the phone right this second telling all their connections in the party to abort the spring election.<br />I can hear them now “ABORT! ABORT!! ABORT!!!”<br />And knowing how liberals love that word so much, you just know that she’ll say yes.Blame Crashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03736137844334640019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21136151.post-28465845197964470402012-03-08T14:29:22.192-07:002012-03-08T14:29:22.192-07:00Ontario has a law like this and it has been in eff...Ontario has a law like this and it has been in effect for almost 20 years, maybe more. The difference is that you get a 24 hour suspension of your licence. No fine. Still don't agree with it but there is no punitive, relatively as compared to Alberta, penalty.WTFnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21136151.post-2820080201490359812012-03-08T11:27:22.046-07:002012-03-08T11:27:22.046-07:00Something else to consider.

The Redford PCs are more and more coming across as incompetent. Add in that this slippery woman can't be trusted, and they are looking very vulnerable, going into a campaign, when voters are paying a lot closer attention.Calgary Junkiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14036174847335286409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21136151.post-77382458148502209652012-03-08T09:12:49.765-07:002012-03-08T09:12:49.765-07:00Given the problems that a similar bill against imp...Given the problems that a similar bill against impaired drivers has run into in BC, it's beyond me why another provincial government would try to go down the same track. The courts have set aside a number of provicions of the BC bill primarily because the police become judge and jury, so it's essentially ineffective, and I cannot imagine the Alberta courts would be any different.jadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01331047500633307554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21136151.post-44759928680502756432012-03-08T08:54:43.496-07:002012-03-08T08:54:43.496-07:00AA..
