Lougheed's assessment seems to align with my own initial thoughts - namely that it can't be all bad if none of the lobbying stakeholders is happy:
Speaking of his own experiences, he said: "When you make a major announcement and you've got both extremes distressed with you, you say to yourself, 'Maybe we got this right.' "
Not that this means I'm likely to vote for Stelmach - I still believe the province needs a major amount of change in Edmonton.

A follow up on the Stelmach's oil royalty issue. Apparently, these increases don't kick in until 2009; apparently there is a possible election in the wind. Stelmach may be counting on the Royalties issue to put him back into office as the 'alternative' may be the Liberals or NDP coming and increasing the royalties even higher. If he wins then the royalties increase will be more 'palatable' than what the other parties and environmental lobby wants.
