The Alberta Senate nomination bid will be a sideshow in this year's election, but that does not mean voters should pick a random name off the ballot. Here is a list of links to individual pages for those who care to be informed. It should be noted that the Prime Minister is not legally bound to selecting those senators that are nominated, but to go against a senator selected by Albertan's would be a severe political gaffe for Conservative Party.
Rob Gregory, is one of three Wildrose Party members
The other Wildrose candidates are Vitor Marciano
and
