Yes, there is still a Social Credit party in Alberta. Lingering like ghosts, trapped in an ideology that was kooky and wildly reactionary even at the peak of their popularity in the 1940s and 50s, this sad lot carry on trying to turn back time to the days when women were barefoot and pregnant, minorities were downtrodden, gays were closeted and white men ruled supreme on behalf of Jesus himself.
Bottom Line: point and laugh if you see one on the street.
