I've known Jason for 25 years. I don't like some of his politics and didn't particularly like working with him in YOW, but I would suggest that it is unwise to assume he is done or out of politics.

“What I know for sure will be that Albertans will not be part of that conversation.”

That's fairly rich, coming from a party leader for whom it is a novelty to have multiple people wanting to be the candidate in a riding.

What voice have Albertans had in NDP internal politics Ms. Notley? Oh right, no public allowed in the backrooms where your party decides internal matters.

Yes, Conservative internal politics are messy - that's because members are allowed to have divergent thoughts and even to disagree with each other.

I'm not nearly as impressed with ideologically pure parties who brook no dissent among their ranks - it smacks of either brainwashing or overt marketing (in other words, people disagree, but they're not ALLOWED to express it).

Either way, bragging about the fact that your people march in straight rows - while claiming to be the party who wants to "listen to Albertans" seems a tad disingenuous.
