Alberta's new cabinet too white, too male and too rural

The majority of people in Alberta may live in the Urban areas, but how many of them were born and raised there? There are lots of farmboys in the cities and rural people from elsewhere.

Political Correctness is the prevailing disease of supposed intellectuals today.
Worse than Aids and Mad cow disease put together, PC will eventually destroy the most successful democracies in the world.
Terrorists and other agents who plot to destroy the West rate PC as their 3rd best weapon. Nukes first, friendly Leftwing media second and PC third.

Joe Aint that the truth.
Let me see Canada a country founded on Immigrants primarily from Europe (white people gasp) with immigrants that have trickled in from other countries over the past twenty years of color or non white race. So dah a white cabinet isn't a surprise is it DAH?

The voting system reflects our largely rural roots and rural ridings represent almost 60% of the seats but they have less than half the population (My guess would be about a third).
That's one reason why when Albertans bitch about a Triple E senate I laugh at the hypocrisy. The voting system in Alberta isn't equal, so why are they bitching about an uneven federal system? After we clean our own house we can bitch at the feds IMHO...

Yup, never miss a chance to bash old Alberta do you? Anyway, maybe your support for a 3XE Senate will be renewed when you discover how wrong you are again.
Riding Profiles
The average population of a riding is 35,000. In the past few years Alberta has experienced a massive number of immigrants from the ROC and around the world and this is being addressed through a boundary redistribution (again) to balance out the ridings.
And here's a thought, instead of bitching about it why not go out and participate. Contact elections Alberta and they will gladly accept your submission in writing or person at one of the public hearings. Be forewarned, other liberals such as yourself are under the same belief and have been publically made as fools at these hearings when confronted with the facts so be prepared.

What does that 'hindsight' mean? Did you really look up his back passage?
Only a gay male could come up with a stupid sexual remark like that!
$1:
I am a Liberal, and not gay. In fact, I find it difficult to stay away from women!
I'm sure women find it very easy staying away from you!
$1:
But we Liberals believe that what consenting adults do in the privacy of their bedrooms is their business, and human rights demand that we should protect them.
That's funny, just the other day my bleeding heart sister, who is a nurse, told me about the gay male that came into the ER with a vibrator stuck in his anus....Sunddley it became three doctors, an X-ray technician, and more nurses than what was needed, They extracted the vibrator, but the gay males rectum was injured and now his sexual activity will cost you and I thousands of dollars in additional costs for treatment....There is a reason why anal sex is against the law.
$1:
So every gay, in the closet, in the bedroom and in the gay parades, has my protection.
I'm sure....You folks stick pretty close together don't ya!
Liberals care for human rights. We even protect worthless conservatives, remember?
True, that's why millions went missing in the sponsorship scandal, right? They were protecting us from paying off that debt!
