Fran from Medicine Hat says: Thanks for this list (sadly it is just the "tip of the ice-berg" for this tired PC government, bet your readers could add a number of patronage appointments from their areas, many who are "light on qualifications" and heavy on paying their dues to the PC Party. the "bottom of the ice-berg" are the number of Albertans who have volunteered to sit on boards because of their expertise and/or advocacy for certain issues or demographics and who (oops) were reported to have an NDP or Liberal sign on their lawns or spotted at Opposition Campaign Offices - I know of several folks whose appointments were terminated on Provincial Boards or whose were names removed from consideration because they were not "true blue little PCers!"
