Interesting development with this story. Its breaking today in various media (CP wire, National Post)

Ed Stelmach vs. edstelmach.ca

An interesting angle from the westernstandard.com

Says that the blogger might even be able to keep the name. Stelmach is trying to nail him on the Google ads that ran on the site. Maybe the blogger has a chance with the "criticism, review or news reporting" but it would be interesting to see if the Google ads trip him up.

The domain is being forwarded to ed's wikipage

Its actually being forwarded to an old Social Credit premier wiki page (Harry Strom). There is some kind of comparsion in Alberta political terms between the old SoCred leader and Ed so thats why its being forwarded to that site.

Interesting story...

Similarly a name in the recent drop, daltonmcguinty, was actually owned by the Ontario Conservatives for a few years and was developed and advertised during the last election to criticize the Liberals' track record.
