Premier Brad Wall's Saskatchewan Party Government -- which all Albertans have been taught by the opposition conservative parties can do no wrong -- has decided to amalgamate their province's 12 localized health regions into a single massive province-wide health region this fall.

Since Alberta conservatives seem to believe everything Wall does practically amounts to earthly perfection -- Progressive Conservative uniter-o-the-righter candidate Jason Kenney calls him "the real leader of Western Canada" -- it's fair to wonder what they'll do now that the Saskatchewan premier has done something a lot of them fervently believe is perfectly wrong.

It's December 17th. So today is the second anniversary of the epic Alberta floor crossing, the day Wildrose Party leader Danielle Smith was in theory supposed to lead her entire Opposition party caucus across the floor of the House join Premier Jim Prentice's Progressive Conservative government.

It was a pivotal moment in the train of events that led to the election of Premier Rachel Notley's NDP Government on May 5, 2015.

So let me get this straight: Stephen Harper, the former Conservative prime minister of Canada, has now joined the Alberta Progressive Conservative Party so that he can encourage members of the Wildrose Party to do the same thing, so that they can all elect Jason Kenney, who can then destroy the PC Party?

Have I got that about right?

The "Bernard the Roughneck" campaign rolled out against the Trudeau government in Ottawa a week ago has been in preparation for at least seven months, possibly longer.

However, while each of the Canadian Association of Oilwell Drilling Contractors, the Conservative Party of Canada, and Rebel Media appear to have been directly involved in aspects of the effort, and both Alberta's Wildrose Party and the frontrunner for the leadership of the Progressive Conservative Party have played supporting roles, it cannot be determined who started the ball rolling or the degree of co-operation among the participants in this piece of political performance art.
