I'm seeing a communications rift here in Alberta, and perhaps Alberta's bloggers have noticed it as well.

Here's what Alberta's bloggers are saying, the night before we go to the polls. Crowsnest Pass Thoughts: I believe it is not by accident that the PC's ran quiet campaigns out in the hinterlands. The campaign strategy of the PC's is definitely geared toward keeping the people opposing the current government ...

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

See magazine asks: I noticed the post on Alberta Blogs about election candidates who are also bloggers and was wondering if you have any idea how many political bloggers there are in Alberta? And how they break down by political persuasion? I've got a handful I visit regularly, but I'm sure ...
