Corb Lund liked living in Alberta, but he had to go where the gettin’s good, so it’s adios, farewell, goodbye, so long: he’s Long Gone To Saskatchewan. I suspect others will be joining him.
The comments are open for any Reader Tips you’d like to pass along.

The Jerusalem Post reports that Iranian officials handed a book on Islam to a jailed pastor, and ‘told him they would be back to discuss the material and hear his opinion.’
Apparently it’s a form of didacticism that’s a little more serious than it sounds:
“David Parsons, spokesman for the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem, told The Jerusalem Post on Sunday the new development is ‘very troubling.’ There need to be ‘three attempts to make him convert to Islam before they can kill him,’ Parsons said. He cited Shari’a Islamic law as the basis for the three attempts rule.”

Good by Linkenfailure
Don’t rub it in, just because you have the Sask Party and we are now ruled by the looney left. Maybe in the spring we can toss the PC’s to Lingenfailure land and get some wild rose common sense.
When I last moved from SK to AB in 1997 I was leaving a left leaning economic basket case to a prosperous right leaning power house. Fast forward to 2011 and how the tables have turned.
@Tapping: no, no they haven’t. The Saskatchewan you left is still there and just as socialist, it just gets a much higher price for its commodities than before. That’s it. There is nothing more. There has no been no reform whatsoever, unless you count egging the federal government to crap all over PotashCorp shareholders as ‘reform’. Which I don’t.
So the NDP’s 2011 election hopes are as dead as ‘Smoking’ Joe Fraser. A great boxer has gone to his reward. Rest in peace Joe Fraser.
Libertarian doesn’t live in Sask. That’s fairly obvious. He also doesn’t follow POT stock prices.

FYI, 3Nov10 was the POT decision. Look at the 3 yr. chart.
I don’t have a link, but, the Rapist President is still Mr Popular. He could snap his fingers and have any woman in North America drop their panties for him, even half the guys would drop their skivvies for him, well, at least the Liberal guys would. So, shouldn’t that buy Herman Cain more credibility with the mainstream media instead of less?

You know, one of these days you might actually live up to your moniker. When, sorry…if that happens, we’ll declare a national day of ‘Who Cares?’.
I think that’s Obama’s popularity in Europe (or France specifically?) but I didn’t bother reading the article.
And Cain’s fourth accuser from today has some serious baggage that may include a phoney paternity suit. (The MSM sentence is poorly worded.)

CWB is running the Harper SteamRoller TV ad fast & furious here in Ontario, I have seen that TV ad now at least a dozen times(And i only see tv in the evening)
I would say that here in Ontario a good 90% dont understand what its all about & are Only seeing the CWB version.
So are we going to see the counterattack ads?

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ –
In the run-up to the international climate negotiations in Durban later this month, China has responded to efforts to ban the trading of widely discredited HFC-23 offsets by threatening to release huge amounts of the potent industrial chemical into the atmosphere unless other nations pay what amounts to a climate ransom.”

Conn Carroll: FOIA reveals NASA’s Hansen was a paid witness
Ackroyd LLP, an Edmonton law firm, which represents the Oil Sand Environmental Coalition (OSEC), a group fighting to stop oil sand development, paid Hansen.
“It is still unclear how much money Hansen received from Ackroyd, however, since his 2010 financial disclosure form did not list them as a source of income. Neither does his 2009 form. There is also no record of his disclosing any travel expenses related to his 2010 oil sands testimony in Canada.”

Today the mayor of London Ont, ex-lib MP Joe Fontana, went before the assembled media at 10:15 am to advise that at 6:00 pm this evening, the occupiers at Victoria park must have their tents removed, and would be arrested if still present at 10:00 pm.
As of now, not one cop has shown up to remove anything and the crowd has grown, including a contingent from OPSEU. and ex-lib MP Glen Pearson.
When going into a possible confrontation, the last thing you want to do is telegraph your moves.
Fontana is truly channelling Paul Martin.

“An “epic” storm was bearing down on western Alaska on Tuesday, the National Weather Service said, warning that it could be one of the worst on record for the state.
The storm, moving inland from the Aleutian Islands, was expected to bring hurricane-force winds with gusts up to 100 miles per hour, heavy snowfall, widespread coastal flooding and severe erosion to most of Alaska’s west coast, the National Weather Service warned.
“This will be an extremely dangerous and life threatening storm of an epic magnitude rarely experienced,” the service said in a special warning message on Tuesday.”

I believe he is too, set you free (12:00); it wasn’t my intention to suggest otherwise, but now that I look at it….
Sometimes when I introduce songs I say things like “The Guess Who are Running Back To Saskatoon“, or “The Dubliners are taking The Rocky Road To Dublin,” but in this case the meaning was a less obvious; I should have been a bit more clear that the song is written from a character’s fictitious POV, or just avoided the convention altogether. A little bit careless/lazy, in retrospect.
This weird, almost surreal and inexplicable “hands-off” the public parks protesters (mostly druggies and weed grow-op people now) stance by policemen right across this vast country of Canada — think about it, SDA friends — it could not possibly be because this whole “Occupy” thing has been organized by powerful unions, could it?? Of course cops are all unionized. Are they answering to their union bosses — and not to their true bosses – we the people whom they apparently have sworn an oath to protect. I ask you: Just who the hell are they protecting? What chance do we have against this Red insurgency? Must we call in the Canadian military to get the cops back in line?
Either that or the cops have been brainwashed by “sensitivity training”.
