It would seem that Ted Morton, candidate for the leadership of the Alberta Progressive Conservative Party and hence premier of Alberta and who has been campaigning on openness and accountability has a secret identity. Seems Dr. Morton used an alias email to keep his true identity a secret in ministerial correspondence while he was minister of Sustainable Resource Development.Now in his own defence Morton has indicated that the names used are his actual legal names but since they weren't until now widely known the effect is the same as if he had used aliases. This leaves open huge questions as to Dr. Morton's veracity when he claims to be all for openness and accountability since this looks a lot like trying to avoid both of these. It also makes one wonder what else is he hiding?
In reality, this shouldn't be a shock for anyone in Alberta though. The Alberta Tories haven't been either open or accountable since Lougheed and they've passed this trait on to their federal brethren in the Harper Conservatives. It just goes to show two things about the Conservatives (federal and provincial) in that:
With all this hypocrisy rank in the Conservative parties in Canada/Alberta, I can't for the life of me understand why people keep voting for these clowns.
