The resignations of two prominent Conservative politicians this week, Alberta Premier Alison Redford and federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty, were long overdue as the two have left a slew of economic problems for Canadians in their wake.

We must be gearing up for a provincial election. Even with the chills of winter still storming around us, Premier Kathleen Wynne appears to have rallied her troops this past weekend to be ready to pound on doors and wear out shoe leather on the sidewalks.

All the provincial parties are ready to get into the election ring right now.
