If the Wildrose ever unites with the PCs, it's clear Calgary-North West MLASandra Jansen has nointention of beingpart of that future.

Jansen, who has said many times thatshe is fiscally conservative butsocially progressive, used her member's statement Monday to rip into theWildrose party, which she characterized as the "right" people.

"When their bills and motions are rejected, they bring them back over and over,"Jansentold the legislature. "Now we seethe 'right' people are prepared to introduce Bill 201, likely to be uniquely known as 'Yet Another Recall Act.' And they're doing it for the third time in a row.

"So, while Alberta is dealing with aserious economic crisis, low commodity prices, increasing debt, and unemployment, the right 30 people are intent on making us relive a political issue that was dealt with in the 1930s by theSocial Credit Party."

The Wildroseon MondayintroducedBill 201, arevamped version of the MLA recallbill that died on the order paper last fall.
