Reformed Liberals to defeat the Progressive Conservatives

Watching the Albertocracy unfold once more as their Liberals fall easily to Progressive Conservatives, buoyed externally by the fact most citizens openly participated in their leadership race over a year ago and internally by the fact Reform opposition in Preston Manning, Ted Morton and even the Wild Rose Alliance participated in the same leadership race to validate it amongst Reformers, leads one to the thinking that this is the way it was meant to be.

Well, it actually truly is not, the opposition is what keeps governments from becoming corrupt, no matter what the flavour. Last year, Saskatchewan has it right with its balance, the governing Saskatchewan Party holding the majority with 38 seats of 58 while the opposition New Democrats have 20, or even in 2007 once again, Québec where the governing Liberals hold a minority with 48 seats of 125, the official opposition Action Démocratique have 41 and the third party opposition Parti Québécois have 36. All of these are healthy politically speaking provinces with real alternatives to vote for.

We here in Ontario are not quite in the same boat, the governing Liberals with 71 seats of 107 have a majority, but the official opposition Progressive Conservative at 26 and third party opposition New Democrats at 10 all work towards similar legislative goals when elected at Queen's Park. With very little difference between any of these Big Three, the grassroots voter is left with no alternative, which is how Small Too parties like Green and Reform takes on more important, as voting grassroots to protest the elite. Blocking the same old political status quo becomes the objective, towards denying the subjective politically, so people can ignore politics and go about more important things in life.

Canadians and Ontarians in general do not believe politics is key in our current democratic society, all of us are still run by a monarch across the pond, not truly in need of a declaration of independence, but rather an affirmation of dependence, one that says I as an individual can not do much, but we as a collective will do such. It has left our parliaments and legislatures powerless to make real change, sometimes even with real alternatives that could make it at the door, every one person and each community of people can make a difference, if they believe themselves able to. But the power to do so remains in their hands, where both positive action and negative reaction is created, from the creased palm right to their mighty fingertips!

All those in Alberta, who perhaps lost their chance to make change by their own choice tonight, I challenge them, just as I challenge Ontarians. Let us rise to it, give the people a governing alternative from the ranks of the opposition for the future, let the elite run as the grassroots democratically make their mark, then all together come as one force to show the pulse of a nation in a show of liberty, independence, freedom, equality and justice for our society. Just as many former Liberals in Ontario have tried hard recently to create a Reform Party of Ontario, myself humbly giving help where I can, perhaps Liberals in Alberta need to aid those in Wild Rose country by working along with like minded Reformers left behind in the dust by the electoral drive for power these Progressive Conservatives have recently finished. Just as here, those high Tories need to know what honest, accountable and transparent Reform is politically speaking, so perhaps the right time for a Reformed Liberal party to rise against the Progressive Conservative party is now in this nation provincially, what say you?
