At least your province doesn't have a political dynasty of Tories running your provincial government. This week, my province is having a PC leadership vote this week to determine who, among the EIGHT nominees, will replace "King Ralph" in becoming the Tory leader AND premier of Alberta. All eight of them have their own questionable political histories that I have trouble with. They range from fiscal mismanagement to their "darker sides of their personal beliefs."
