Default Monday's Election

So ideally, your educated opinion... what party will benefit the trappers the most? Actually let me reword.

Between the Conservatives and the Wildrose Alliance, which party will be better for the trapper and hunter.

Why?

I don't trust Redford, I supported her on the second ballot but have since seen that she said whatever we wanted to hear. I was able to be at interviews of the leadership contenders and she made some promises that she failed to follow through on, and went too far to the left for my liking.
My 2 bits worth.

Don't trust Redford, she thinks she knows what's best for us,(we could get lost in the bush) and that might mean no trappers.......

well what did you expect............she is a politician.......... it"s not like she's the only one that does exactly that............. they all do, some worse or more blatantly then others........ accountability seems to make some difference but not much............have you ever met a political creature that you could honestly trust???

.Either party won't be stupid enough to let a DAO go through so to me it really doesn't matter.

Even the Liberals won't pass that so I know Gabby 61 will be happy...LOL

I have a hard time with the way the conservatives picked their last two leaders in the first place. Claim the top two contenders, that everybody wants, that the vote is too close to call, so pick the third place loser instead and call him/her the winner...

Common sense dictates that you take the top two contenders and have a run off. Obviously one of them is the winner, so pick one of them.

The conservatives can't even manage to run an election properly, why would I want to entrust them with further responsibility???

So, anyone know if the wildrose party is trapper friendly. DAO survival as a separate issue, at this point who cares, but later... but does the wildrose like trappers or not? Will we get a fair shake from them?

In my mind, voting NDP or Liberal would be like spoiling a ballot? Actually far worse than spoiling a ballot!

The WR member in this riding is a trapper (of sorts). I've seen him at conventions. He is also against the DOA, so he says today, tomorrow ??, well he is a politician..
