more tory patronage...

Alberta's Conservative government launched another round of fairly obvious patronage appointments last week...

Karen Kryczka, Tory MLA for Calgary West (1997-2004), was appointed to the Board of the Alberta Foundation of the Arts.

Bob Clark, Social Credit MLA for Olds-Didsbury (1960-81), Socred Leader (1977-81), and Alberta's "Ethics Commissioner" (1992-2003), was appointed to the Natural Resource Conservation Board.

  1. Disgusting.

    Yet another example of Conservative hubris, arrogance, and contempt for good governance.

    Why anyone willfully supports such inept governance is beyond me.

  2. Wasn't Bob Clark the "inspector" who investigated voting irregularities in the last Calgary election? And before that wasn't he on the boundaries commission?
