I think that I have over the years modified my political views as I have experienced various sides of life. At one time I was an NDP [...]

As the news of the day was announced on my radio at 6:30 this morning I have to admit to being shocked and pleasantly surprised to learn about the crossing of Rob Anderson and Heather Forsythe to the Wildrose Alliance.
