Progressive Conservative, Edmonton-Whitemud

Dear David:

While I certainly have made no commitments to any of the VI candidates running to replace Edward Michael Stelmach as Progressive Conservative (PC) Leader & Tory Premier, I am truly impressed with what Douglas Horner did yesterday. Making his announcement of why he should be PC Leader on the steps of the Alberta Legislature, & then focusing the main thrust of his remarks on education was smart & erudite, as well as thoughtful. It shows he still has his old portfolio of Advanced Education in him. While I agree the economic situation is very important IV Albertans right now, Douglas's statement on Education being very important & that it should be highlighted more makes great sense.

Kudos Douglas,

Rory
