Members of the media are expected to ask questions of the party leaders, and maybe even get a few good questions off, but rarely pose any questions that could damage the leader if they attempt to answer the question even somewhat truthfully.
Just today Cochrane-Airdrie MLA Peter Guthrie sent out a letter to his constituents apologizing for the UCP government putting back in place the restrictions despite previously having said that “Alberta was not only ‘Open for Summer’ but ‘Open for Good.”
In spite of the lead, Conservative Party leader Erin O’Toole has been jumping from foot to foot over the past week when it comes to the issue of firearms.

Referendums on a political figure’s personality can make or break their chances at reelection.
