Off Minor

So today I went to a rally for the Wild Rose Alliance Party. As a disclaimer - I do NOT support them. I was tagging along with a reporter to shoot some practice photos at a scrum.

The new merger is a combination of the Wild Rose Party and the Alliance Party. So obviously they came up with an extremely original name. To summarize, this party is a collection of the reddest of rednecks in the province. A group of salivating, right-wing religious nut bars. Not that I think all right-wingers are like that. I'm sure some are perfectly wonderful. I've just yet to meet them.

The leader, Paul Hinman, says that his party contains the last "real conservatives" in Alberta. I found it rather amusing though that Hinman has already conceded that his party will have difficulties gaining any seats; the rally turned out about one hundred people from all over the province. This does not bode well for the WRA.

Some of the shots I took that that turned out decently...
