Alberta Liberal Leader Raj Sherman: Interim Liberal Leader Bob Rae

Calgary Zoo Dept: In the city for the Stampede, Rae attended a pancake breakfast, held private meetings and headlined a Saturday morning fundraiser for city Liberals. Speaking underneath a large white tent at the Calgary Zoo to a crowd that included Papineau MP Justin Trudeau and Alberta Liberal Leader Raj Sherman, the leader s mood was upbeat, according to Vancouver Sun. There are a lot of former Ontarians and Quebecers and Maritimers who are living and working in Alberta. As the province s demography changes with immigration, the cities and the culture of those cities begins to take on a life of its own and looks a lot more like cities in the rest of the country, said Rae and interim Liberal Leader Bob Rae says the political face of Alberta is changing, and despite his party s current political funk, members have their eyes trained on the upcoming byelection in Calgary Centre. In an interview, Rae said the victories of Mayor Naheed Nenshi in 2010 and Premier Alison Redford this year show Alberta is changing and is open to a centrist, sensible and progressive political party.
