This is also on the CBC;
” “If we’re going to go to Paris and if the premier is going to be there and hold her head high, we’ve got to have a good, robust, comprehensive approach to climate change and do our fair share.”
It is all about prestige;
‘look at me, ain’t I wonderful,I tamed Alberta, I killed the oilsands’.
She also said that ‘Alberta will be the world leader in mitigating ‘climate change’, I’m paraphrasing on that.
Alberta’s economy is heading towards Ontario’s at breakneck speed.
As I have said before, we have elected the foxes to guard the hen-house, the foxes have invited the badgers over for a party.
The Canadian ‘golden goose’ is dead.
The fools that killed it were not looking for more golden eggs, they just wanted to kill it in the name of equality, and because fools always kill. It is their nature.
Prentice’s comment about Albertans looking in the mirror to see the problem brings this to mind, “We have met the enemy,and he is us”.
Alberta is done, Canada will follow if either progressive party gets elected or can form a coalition. We became too comfortable and too complacent. We let our guard down. The Wild Rose cannibalized themselves while the PC’s adjusted the flame.
Next week, the other shoe drops on Alberta and Canada’s neck, the ‘royalty review’.
Time for separation.
Real separation, not the phony BQ bs crap.
Deborah Yedlin performs a verbal pile driver on Notley regarding proposed regulatory changes in Alberta. While simultaneously handing Calgary CBC radio journo David Gray his backside. http://www.cbc.ca/video/news/audioplayer.html?clipid=2670391371
In general, I would not attempt to debate Yedlin on any subject unless I had every single duck in a row. She is a one woman wrecking crew.
Alberta voted with their eyes wide open to kill the engine that was driving their economy and the economy of the country, that’s what socialism does.
Protest voting has to have some smarts behind it, in this case there was none.
Now that we’re stuck with Ontario on the dole and Quebec on perpetual dole through the dastardly equalization who will be funding the breadlines?
If we listen to pollsters like John Wright we’re on the verge of turning Canada into a Socialist cesspool.
HarperPAC, a conservative third-party group, has announced it is shutting down operations less than a week after its launch.
I am not sure why HarperPAC shut down? It does seem that it is alright for leftist 3rd party groups to raise money and put out anti-Harper and anti-conservative ads, but not for conservatives to do the same. http://www.newstalk650.com/content/harperpac-group-shuts-down-operations
‘Time for separation’
How will that work?
By electing the NDP Albertans have effectively burnt the ‘Alberta Firewall’ to the ground and yonder it lies, a smoldering ruin.
The braintrust didn’t like the HarperPAC approach and maybe they didn’t like their God awful name either. Anyway, it shows me Harper has a plan to deal with Mulcair and Trudeau and doesn’t want others muddying the waters. He will tie them together in a nice progressive knot, then squeeze out the non-progressives in both parties (though mostly Liberal).
The Liberals are terrified right now; their party faces oblivion. Now the progressives must turn on each other. Strategic voting is out, survival is in. When Canadians got a good look at Trudeau they rejected him. They shall do the same with Mulcair. Anyway look at the bright side if Mulcair wins. The other provinces particularly in the West, will be able to separate with a 50% +1 threshold Mulcair says is OK for Quebec. The government of AB won’t be able to do squat about it, assuming Albertans haven’t already sent them to the political barricades.
I asked a friend some questions and got NO to them all:
Do you want Quebec to separate or Canada to break up?
Do you want to pay higher carbon taxes?
Do you want a national daycare program?
Do you want bigger government?
Do you want to stop the oil sands from expanding development
Do you think a $15 minimum wage is a good idea?
I got a yes for this: does it piss you off when governments collect carbon taxes from you, to save the earth and then just shove the money into general revenues for their pet political projects?
Trudeau will no doubt paint himself as the savior, the only one who can save us from Mulcair. If he pulls off a miracle and holds his right-centre vote while wooing back the left then he gives Mulcair a chance at minority IMHO. Otherwise, highly doubtful unless many many Canadians get a giant political brain fart at the same time. The Liberal media will hardly give the NDP a free ride, count on that.
Unlike AB, there’s no snap election call after an unpopular budget and the vote split is on the left federally with AB federal voters still strongly Tory. Harper has to drop the ball, someone on his team has to screw up big time, &/or he has to tank the debates. He won’t though – he’s way ahead in smarts and experience as the only electorally bloodied leader; so the others will gaffe big time, count on it. Media cover will be hard to come by I predict with a supposed three way race. Nobody should panic, but yes have your political antennae out as you commiserate this summer and in the very unlikely event someone talks about politics, as them some questions about what they want from their PM, do they think wholesale changes to our way of life are needed because some power-seeking politician wants their vote?
Mike Harris: What happens to a fear merchant when people stop buying?
He ends up being an online columnist? Was that the right answer?
“It may all come down to Nigel Wright and what he says this August after the court decides on whether to admit the internal Senate audit into residency — that, and the relevance of the RCMP’s “expert” Mark Grenon and his analysis of Senator Duffy’s finances. Here is what we know. Not only did Wright tell the RCMP that Duffy likely was entitled to his living expenses under existing Senate rules, there are also 880 emails out there between Duffy’s then-lawyer Janice Payne, the Senate leadership and senior staff in the PMO about the deal.
If those emails clearly show that the genesis of the repayment scenario was PMO-driven and known at the highest levels of the office, there will be no closet dark enough for the prime minister to hide in. If Nigel Wright’s testimony and the emails lead Canadians to believe that the PM actually knew about the deal, and then lied to Parliament, the merchant of marketing will be facing mission impossible.”

You can that again. Wait. You did.
There’s was a lot of hoopla last night on Reader Tips (June 25-15) about a recent poll that says that Null-Care is ahead of Stephen Harper and Trudeau in the polls.
No doubt that the surge does turn on the check engine light at Conservative headquarters. .
This however should help Mr. Harper with his campaign!!
