    Monday, December 11


    In case you hadn't heard, soon-to-be-Premier Stelmach is now being sworn in on December 14. I will still be in California (departure time, 54 hours and counting) but weather permitting, stop by the steps of the Legislature and see the first swearing-in of a Premier since 1992.

    And expect a packed agenda when he arrives - lots to do and see. I'm particularly excited about the prospect of longer Legislature sittings, where a political junkie like I can get their fill on a daily basis instead of snippits every week or so.

    Many are speculating about who will be in and who will be out in cabinet (Blake R., Tom O. and many others) - no solid predictions here (I have a poor track at this sort of thing) - and in any case, this is a solid caucus to find some talent in. I'm excited to see who will shine.

    Start thinking about the election - the unofficial campaign starts later this week. But before that, I will step out on a limb and suggest that there is a good chance of a federal and municipal election before this one...

    Harper v. Dion
    Stelmach v. Taft
    Mandel v. ??? (Edmonton)
    Bronconnier v. ?Fech? (Calgary)

    I feel another round of campaign fatigue starting on...

      Whose house will we stay in in Calgary while we work on the Fetch campaign?

      Umm... he's rich - we could stay at his house?

      I've been to two Chamber events in the past month where Fetch has stood up and asked a rambling question about related to our society becoming corrupted like the Roman Empire. I say we help Oscar with a campaign, but show up at all events dressed in togas and blitzed out of our minds.

      Does anyone know why/how he's ritch? I see him all the time downtown but I don't think he's ever working. I think he spends his days going from place-to-place ranting about this and that.

      He ran a construction company, but I believe he is now retired.

      Yes, rich and not working... Best of all possible worlds there! :)

      Oscar Fech is the best mayor Calgary has never had!
