Each time we think politics in Alberta simply cant get any nuttier, wait 5 minutes and WHOOP THERE IT IS. Todays Preston Manning apology comes on the heels of a great article by Jen Gerson that exposed the major role Randy Dawson of Navigator played as architect of the #wrp9 defection. And now we are all left wondering if Manning got played. Was Manning simply a pawn used to protect the Queen from her own hard right former supporters? Did Manning finally awaken to that possibility once the dark thick curtains were pulled back on the Navigator connection to the defections? If there is one thing Prentice has underestimated, it is how little taste Albertans have for political arrogance. A Premier can get away with a crapload if they have a Klein persona, but wrap oneself in the mantle of superiority and disdain and contempt, and Albertans will kick your fancy ass to the curb with a smile on their weathered faces. Just ask Alison Redford. And perhaps Prentice is now realizing that his assumption Albertans would just accept this unite the right agenda was an error in judgment. And the result of glaring arrogance.
