In a sad day for opposition supporters (i.e. almost all progressives) in Alberta, we get the following news (ironically on April Fools when we all question it):
From Daveberta:
Because of financial reasons, the Alberta Liberal Party has delivered layoff notices for April 30 to its two remaining staff members.
And from the Calgary Herald’s Inside Politics (h/t Gauntlet.ca):
Alberta Greens Leader Joe Anglin tells the Herald he fears his party will almost certainly be delisted as an official provincial political entity because it’s unable to deliver audited financial statements for 2008.
“Our party status is at risk,” he said Tuesday. “It’s a mess.”
Daveberta reports that the Libs have filed the papers they needed to, so will keep their party status for now.
At least the Alberta NDP is doing well…
Ironically, the Alberta NDP hired another staffer the day the Liberals canned theirs.
