Though this parody of the famous "Candy Man" song was written for an American audience, we feature it this evening in honour of our friends & relatives in Alberta who are tired of Big Government pushing them around ... figuratively and literally.
Your informative reader tips are welcome, as always, in the comments.

Warning: Do not watch before bedtime without sufficient volatile spirits on hand to ensure some sleep.

Posted by: nv53 at April 9, 2012 1:20 AMA couple weeks ago I came on SDA Reader Tips and suggested that people sell stocks or mutuals that invest in miners or energy. I said that you should learn about shorting the market and contra-ETFs that profit in downward markets. I should restate that now.

Posted by: batb at April 9, 2012 8:34 AMThe latest from Alberta ...
Listening to Dave Rutherford's show this morning (out of Calgary) I learned from an official at Elections Alberta that 3rd Parties ARE allowed to advertise but MUST come clean about who they are.
One of those mentioned who has chosen to not play by the rules is Backwards Alberta. They have a website, Facebook page, and Twitter account.
On their Facebook page I politely mentioned their violation of the law in Alberta, encouraging them to register and then speak up all they want. My post was prompted deleted.

Posted by: dmorris at April 9, 2012 2:25 PMIt's amazing how the non-democratic socialist goals are so in sync with saving the world's climate:

Fidel Castro is displeased with "Stephen Harper's Illusions." Pierre was so much easier to work with. After all both of them believed in state controlled medicare, among with other hallmarks of the Just(in?) Society. Laughable stuff coming from the Cuban chief baby killer.
Uh, Fidel, f*** off, go oppress somebody in your own country you moron.

Posted by: Gord Tulk at April 9, 2012 4:30 PMOn my Sympatico page, there’s a picture of Obama walking with two other guys: they’re all wearing suits.
These are the headings:
“Strange Video of Obama going Viral”
“This can’t be real . . . can it?”
“Did the president really do this?”
When I clicked on the link, this is what I saw on the otherwise blank screen: “The service is unavailable.” This hasn’t happened before . . .
Does anyone here know what was in the video?
You should see the flood of pro-Castro, anti-Harper zombie input from wannabe Canuckistanians over at Huffington Post. Just plain makes you want to take a shower. I got in a few licks tho. :)
Posted by: Michael H Anderson at April 9, 2012 7:22 PMSo, this is weird. On the F_35 costing, some Bozo at the University of Ottawa complains that since they only calculated twenty year costs, rather than 30 they did not include upgrade and replacement costs that would happen around the thirty year mark. Get that? According to him you needed to include cost for the replacement of the replacements -- bizarre http://www.edmontonjournal.com/health/Short+term+costing+distortion+official/6431837/story.html

cal2, Thanks for pointing that out. They take $3 million a day from the taxpayer and still can't get a simple story right.
Posted by: WalterF at April 9, 2012 10:05 PMSDA gets results , CBCpravda changed the headline. their version of it fawns over him , the fact that he could have killed someone escapes them , the fact that they had video of his ugly mug inside the buildings setting bombs but the judge ruled it as inadmissable since the there were not signs posted saying he was being photographed shows the twisted state of Canajun justice
