Okay, I guess he wasn't leading the Greens

Global TV just did a little video clip of Joe Anglin, the enviro-activist from Rimbey who's only the candidate in Lacombe-Ponoka for the Greens. I'd received imperfect information I suppose.

Anyways, the big story is how he apparently has secured a few votes from the AltaLink fight, and is supposedly taking some votes away from the Tories in what in the last election was a PC rout. The Alberta Alliance beat the Liberals to be the 2nd choice in the riding, and the NDP barely beat the Socreds.

This is unlikely to change when Anglin makes comments like this:

Lots of people here vote Conservative and don't even know why.
Yes, that's right. Insult your constituents. That's always a hit!
