Top Ten Reasons to Vote NDP!
10. Liberals and Conservatives accepted over $1.7 million from big oil and other large corporations in 2006 alone. When push comes to shove, they protect their donors over regular families almost every time.

5. The NDP wants to help families save money on heating and power bills with grant programs to help us retrofit homes for energy efficiency and solar power.

3. Alberta’s NDP wants to ban corporate and union donations to political parties – taking big money out of politics.
2. Brian Mason used to be a bus driver, so he knows what it means to get up at 4 am for the early shift and work on Christmas Eve. How many other political leaders can say that?
1. Brian Mason and Alberta’s NDP are on the side of regular families.
