EDMONTON - Liberal Leader Kevin Taft says Albertans want change and they will wake up to a bright new day Tuesday with a new Liberal government.
"What we heard on the doorsteps over and over was exactly that - that our message (It's Time) captured the public mood," Taft said today. "More than half of Albertans think it's time for a new government and our message just connected."
He said the desire for change was the number one issue of the campaign.
The Liberal leader dropped by two Mill Woods temples Sunday where he urged New Democratic Party voters to cast their votes for Liberals this election to throw out the Progressive Conservatives who have been in power nearly 37 years.
He said voters can only vote in opposition members if they vote for Brian Mason's NDP party - but if they vote Liberal they can change the government.
"Brian has always played for third place," he said. "We're in this for the gold medal."
Taft was optimistic his party will make inroads in Calgary and hold its seats "and grow" in Edmonton "and I think we will make breakthroughs in other areas, too."
"Calgary started feeling different in 2004," he said. "It's going to feel a lot different Tuesday morning."
