I had the pleasure today of reading through some of the posts at Reboot Alberta. Reboot Alberta is a project of Ken Chapman, David King, and Michael Brechtel to hold a conference of just under 100 progressive Albertans in Red Deer to discuss the way forward for progressives in Alberta. I'm not going to be able to attend because of school commitments. But I was inspired to send my own ideas to Ken, and Ken has graciously posted them.

Doug Griffiths, MLA for Battle River - Wainwright, is right.Read his article on the need for nuclear power in this province. It's important.But also ask yourself this: is he making a conservative argument, or a liberal argument?I think the answer is neither. Which goes to show what I've been harping on for a long time: the most important problems that Alberta faces in the next 50 years cannot be solved by disagreements over how conservative or liberal we are.

For almost a month now, I've been involved in this group of people that has been called the "futility faction", the "revolution group", the "edmonton group", and any number of other silly things. This is the group of people that Daveberta has recently blogged about being involved in. Dave was the one who invited me to join.
