Dear editor, What are the true colours of the Wildrose Alliance? Definitely not green and blue. They stole these colours from the Alberta Social Credit Party.
Perhaps brown and yellow are more appropriate.
Brown for the oil companies that recruited Danielle Smith to lead the party so that they could grab more of Albertans’ wealth.
Yet she had the temerity to state, “You don’t sit on the world’s largest oil reserves and get treated as a junior partner. Yet somehow, this government has managed to achieve that.”
Are we to believe she would stand-up to her oil and gas puppet-masters and take control of the development of the oilsands? I don’t think so.
She didn’t supplement her criticism with any constructive suggestion as to how she would handle the oilsands issue.
Yellow for the Wildrose Alliance’s cowardice. They are afraid to pass policies that represent their true beliefs because this may chase away voters. This was confirmed by a convention delegate who supported a resolution on the right to bear firearms but concluded, “I’m just worried about how this may be received in the public and portrayed in the media, so I’m voting no.”
Danielle Smith reinforced this attitude when she stated, “You can’t get any of your agenda implemented if you can’t get elected.”
So what is their agenda? What are their true colours? They won’t tell us because this may scare us away.
We would only know if we voted them in. Then it would be too late!
Len Skowronski,
Leader, Alberta Social Credit Party
