I really don't want to go back to the bad old days where being openly gay in Alberta was very dangerous, and LGBTQ people in the province faced constant hostility, violence and harassment. I'm old enough to remember those days and the thought of Jason Kenney as Premier with all his "lake of fire" candidates running the province sends chills down my spine. 

On that same token, I'm not terribly impressed with the current NDP government either. So, as a gay progressive, I am seriously considering voting for the Alberta Party, assuming they can get organized on the ground and pull themselves out of the fringe box before the next election.
