The Wild Rose Party still don’t have a leader, but they now have a policy platform. Among the highlights of their founding convention:

-Setting up an Alberta provincial pension plan

-Abolish health care premiums

-Allow private health care in Alberta

-No funding of abortions by health care (except in extreme circumstances)

-Their view on Stelmach’s royalty compromise with big oil: “The paltry $1 billion or so extra that the government hopes to collect by forcing a royalty hike, will do far more harm than good.”
