Warning! If you work for the Government of Alberta, even if you are not at work right now, or on vacation, or whatever, you may not click on the following link:
Blueprint for Prosperity (Dr. Lyle Oberg's Platform for PC Leader)
I mean it. More importantly, Dr. Lyle Oberg means it. To read this document, and even worse, to develop an opinion on it, while simultaneously being an employee of the government is misuse of government resources for partisan political purposes, specifically, is a dirty political trick by Jim Dinning's campaign. In Alberta, to reveal such misdeeds is a threat to the source's "job, their future and their families" according to the good Doctor.
Bizarre. Put another way, having a volunteer who happens to work for the Government of Alberta look critically at an opponent's platform is a dirty trick - one that should end your credibility as a candidate, at least according to Dr. Oberg. That's an awfully high bar of conduct to reach. That would mean Dr. Oberg better not have any Government or Legislature employees doing any volunteer work on his campaign, right? Not his legislature assistant, not a teacher and certainly not an executive assistant from a Minister. And what about a worse crime - worse than having a volunteer who is also a Government of Alberta employee, if we can imagine such a misdeed - are they simply to be executed in the street?
I could not get over how preposterous this is. posted by Duncan @ 6:03 PM

And I thought Norris was the Drama Queen!
Don't really know what he was thinking here, promising "Blodd letting" et all... But one thing is for sure, if this is the quality of Dr. Oberg's percieved "Skeletons" then I don't think anyone has anything to worry about when looking in the closet.
You're right of course, this should raise concern regarding what type of Leader or Premier Dr. Oberg might end up to be. Seems he has an over active imagination and a tendency to be mean - a bully perhaps?

The silver lining in this Keystone cops episode (I hope) is that this has should solidify in peoples' minds the inadequacy of Oberg's candidacy.
Quick Star Wars joke:
If Dr. Oberg was a Jedi, his name would be "Obi-Whine".

What ever happened to integrity, social resonsibility and leadership? Its so much easier to infur than to provide facts, just ask Peter MacKay.
What happens in 10 years when voter turnout slides to 30%. Can Politicians claim they have the will of the people to Govern?
