Alberta voters, apparently, have a different view. Wildrose has got wasted vote in rural areas; the PCs have vote where it matters most, on the seat count.

The final weekend in Alberta will be like the final weekend, federally, in 2004.  No less than Tom Flanagan has written about how that turned out.

Jen Gerson thinks it’s “fear mongering” to take a look at the public record of Wildrose extremists, such as the one who has called for David Suzuki’s murder.  That’s a quote: “fear mongering.”  It’s not “actual reporting,” says Gerson.  Her bosses at the National Post, who have done exemplary work on Alberta-based neo-Nazi activity recently, may feel differently.  Who knows.

Fortunately, the Calgary Herald believes in providing voters with, you know, information and actual reporting:

…the same Wildrose delegate, Richard Evans, who mocks Holocaust victims, and promotes the neo-Nazi Stormfront web site.

Here’s an exchange between Evans and Kate MacMillan of Small Dead Animals, who you can learn more about here.

So, a new question for Danielle Smith: why do you associate with someone who openly counsels murder of political opponents?

“I am a pastor. And in beliefs homosexual are headed for the lake of fire. Now with that being said we have Muslims in public office right now who believe that anyone who does not believe in ala should be killed but far be it for anyone to mention that. That would be prejudice. And as a Christian I have a right to believe in what I believe and for u to attach someone for their beliefs in my eyes is racist. At least everyone knows up front what he believes. There are to many people in government who hide behind a lie to get in and then do what they believe is write regardless of what the voters believe. My beliefs are my beliefs and I should not be persecuted for that and no one else should either. And because of what you wrote today I have decided to vote for her based on the fact she did not hide behind a lie to please the media. But this is my opinion.”

From “Floyd McK.” Wow.

“As a Caucasian,” the Wildrose candidate suggests, he’s a better representative than, you know, one of those brown people.

No wonder Danielle Smith is ducking the media today.

One of the biggest freefalls I’ve seen since, well, Tea Party Tim Hudak’s in October. It’s amazing.

UPDATE: Far from denouncing her candidate’s comments, Danielle Smith has defended them. Straight from Sun Media: “Smith defended the comments and said she’s not concerned and each candidate puts forward their best argument for why they should be the person to represent the community.“

Keep. Those cards and letters comin’, Wildrose faithful! This one from tpmaron@gmail.com:

“Wow warren, that’s quite the article in the sun today. Maybe should open your pants and check for a vagina, cause you sure know how to blow things out of proportion.”

And this gem, from “Gunter W” at safari4711@live.ca:

“Kinsella : Tested ,Tried ,unfit to report!                                        You are not a reporter ,but an opinion molder, no wonder newspaper
readers are disappearing ,like snow in the sun .If the people of Alberta vote for the Wildrose party ,I would call
this Democracy in action ,but you rather would like to see DEMONCRACY  Warren Kinsella style in typical ,hateful
action ,have a cigar ,hotdog .beer ,pancakes and some other stupid bribes . Those times are over ,people don’t
trust agitators and crooks any more ,reporters ,like banksters will come to their demise . Find yourself another
job , how about snakeoil seller ?”

From a plugged-in contact in Alberta. Very, very interesting.

Warren: Danielle Smith cancelled her media availability for CBC radio today, Global tomorrow and CTV Friday. Cancelled her meeting with the Herald editorial board … and had Vitor appear in her place on Rutherford this morning. Someone is cracking under pressure.

CALGARY — Wildrose Leader Danielle Smith entered the final week of the campaign defending controversial comments decrying homosexuality and public schools posted by an Edmonton candidate on his blog.

Edmonton-Southwest candidate and pastor Allan Hunsperger posted a rant on his blog last June, using Lady Gaga’s hit song, Born This Way, to blast the Edmonton public school division’s policy of accepting students for who they are.

“Sounds great at first except nobody is mentioning what the results will be of living the way you were born,” read the post, which has since been removed, with a statement from Hunsperger addressing the issue.

“You see, you can live the way you were born, and if you die the way you were born then you will suffer the rest of eternity in the lake of fire, hell, a place of eternal suffering,”

Evans is a Calgary resident who has made failed runs for municipal office in Calgary.  More recently, he has been a participant at Wildrose conventions, and is very active in their campaign, principally online.  Here is what I know (so far) about his history:

• Evans has promoted pedophilia by squatting on web addresses, and redirecting same to organizations such as NAMBLA;
• Evans has mocked victims of the Holocaust, and posed online as a survivor, even fabricating a concentration camp-style tattoo on his arm and photographing it.
• Evans links to Stormfront, a neo-Nazi/white supremacist web site, and has long been associated with anti-minority advocacy.

I am hoping to write about the extent of Evans’ involvement with Wildrose.  Anyone with additional cited information is welcome to post in comments, below.

Of course they would.

And, if I were still home, would I vote Alberta PC for the first time in my life to stop Wildrose from seizing power?

Of course I would.
