  1. Brad Wall, Class act all the way! Where the H-E double hockey sticks is Redford on this?

  2. Bri C, exactly and it bears repeating. However your comment could be repeated a third if Brad Wall stopped build bird blenders and built a small nuclear power generator instead.
    My, that Mulcair is sure a smooth talking Marxist.

  3. Bri C:
    Nice parroting of Dana Perino’s spelling on Tuesday night’s The Five.

  4. Mulcair is white!
    He is obviously a racist why should we listen to him? Even his kids are full white, and we never see him with mostly ethnic visible minority friends, ever.
    Until the NDP sheds their racist roots and elect a gay black disabled woman to represent their views we can’t give them the time of day.
    Mulcair, needs to prove his commitment to Canadians by stepping down in favor of an Affirmative Action ethnic minority and serve the public from a McDonalds drive-in. Well maybe not even that, he needs to go to Uganda and serve the Ugandan Army core as a comfort boy.
    Then we will believe him when he speaks about equality and fairness!

  5. Whatever ever happened to the idea that the NsDaP was the party of the working man? This attack on the resource sector is evil.
    The idea of carbon credits is downright sadistic. I can afford the increase in prices which would result, but it would be very difficult for most.
    Why does the NDP hate the working class?

  6. Mulcair has the permanently outraged look of a crazed fanatic. He just looks … angry.
    He’s going to have to work on that. It won’t serve him well in the long run.

  7. Brad is a true leader, so proud to have him as my Premier and the voice of western reason. It is obvious that Tommy Jack MUCKlair has a “hidden agenda”, LOL, cause he is hiding from his words. I bet right after the interview TJM he slapped his forhead and said “DUH”, what did I just do! He got caught, internalize the environmental costs, jobs and growth in western Canada are not as valuable as Ontario and Quebec jobs.
    It is obvious that in his eyes everyone is equal, just some are more equal than others. Driving cars is bad, but only if you are driving cars that use gas from oilsands oil.

  8. Mulcair’s proposition that the resource industry is to blame for the loss of jobs in the manufacturing industry of Ontario is completely off base.
    The manufacturing sector of Ontario was gutted due to the DEVALUATION of the US dollar caused by their epic multi-trillion dollar housing finance boondoggle known as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac subprime lending practices.
    Mulcair is engaging in simple demagoguery of resource industries. Moreover, this completely glosses over Dalton McGuinty’s mismanagement of the Ontario economy in adjusting to their major trading partners new realities.

  9. Dutch Disease is to Economics what Global Warming is to Science.
    More than just a coincidence that whacko theories appeal to socialists.

  10. It appears that Mulcair has all of the understanding of and empathy towards western Canadian concerns that Pierre Trudeau did – that is to say, western Canada is something to be thrown under the bus for the sake of votes elsewhere.
    The bad news for Mulcair is that it’s not 1980.

  11. Mulcair didn’t invent this policy, Jack Layton did. He’s just carrying on with it, so there’s really nothing new here. Ever since Jack took the leadership of the dippers, there’s been a growing split between the eastern utopians and the more practical wing of the party centred in Saskatchewan. That Saskatchewan wing is just about out of business in the federal NDP now.
    What Jack and Tom realized is that western Canada is now an electoral wasteland for the dippers. So, their electoral strategy is to try to solidify Quebec and Ontario into a voting bloc, supported by some seats in BC. It’s the same strategy the Liberals used for decades starting with Trudeau. The NDP feels they can do it because the Liberals are dead in Quebec.
    For it to work, the resource industries of the West have to be demonized. The way to prevent it is to follow Harper’s strategy. Unify the West and Ontario behind a coherent, moderate conservative direction for Canada.

  15. Come on folks…there is nothing wrong with having a jerk lead the NDP. He fits!

  16. and..speaking of pipelines,the Northern Gateway pipeline will NEVER get built,so says Craig Oliver,on PP just now!

  17. Mulcair courts the unionized manufacturing vote which thrived on a $0.62 Loonie. The favourable trade balance from Western resources has brought the Loonie to +/- par with the US. Add that to the watermelon factor (anti-oil sands) of the NDP and he would gladly sacrifice Western economic progress (while screwing Canadian consumers of foreign products) to help his subsidized and shrinking Eastern manufacturing base complete with union money-launderers.

  19. This Westerner from Alberta, with ties to Holland was thinking of telling “Tommie the Commie” to “EAT SHIT”, however just listening what his orifice has to say, he already has!!

  20. Time to start building that steel wall on the Saskatchewan/Manitoba border. Unfortunately until Albertans come to their senses I’m not sure they can be trusted any more.

  21. The only way to let people like Mulcair truly understand the gravity of their positions is to illustrate what life would be like without those “dastardly” resources he so despises. How does he scoot about without oil? How does he calm a volatile crowd of unemployed Canadians?

  22. robw >
    Redfords “real” message will resonate into even the densest by the next Alberta election, no worries, they’ll be out.

  23. Osumashi Kinyobe >
    What I see is that they don’t want to do away with the “dastardly resources” as much as they want to control them.
    If the pot smoking lefty enviro hippies were given full charge of the oil sands and its profits, it would be full steam ahead “for the greater good”. They want everything, power and control for absolutely nothing.

  25. there’s still a chance for our children…a small one, but a chance…what does a Grade 3 student know about pipelines, economics or real science ? their teachers have already proven that they don’t know anything about the subjects…time for a little reminder that teachers are there to teach, not to philosophize…

    TORONTO — Tory MPP Rob Milligan – a former high school teacher – is demanding action from the provincial government to protect young children from instructors who “brainwash” their students into promoting political causes.
    Milligan questioned Education Minister Laurel Broten Wednesday about an anti-oil pipeline protest organized by a Toronto teacher and a community volunteer as a class activity for Grade 3 students.
    “A teacher’s role is not to brainwash children to further political causes under the guise of an alternative education model,” Milligan said. “Minister, what are you doing to ensure that children as young as eight are not exposed to the abusive authority demonstrated by this group of teachers at the Grove (Community Alternative School).”

  26. I’m going to give the govts of Sask and Alberta a bit of advice,do like Quebec and collect your own income tax and you can be a have not province also.

  27. A 62 cent dollar may appear to help manufacturers, but it also means that all materials and inputs that they have to purchase from outside Canada are are being bought with 62 cent dollars. One of the things that made Ontario a manufacturing powerhouse in the past was cheap reliable electricity. Our current government is doing everything they can to kill that advantage.
    In Whitby Ontario, (close to where I live) is a steel mill using electric arc furnaces. Its hard enough to compete with chinese steel as it is. What do you suppose will happen to them when there price of power goes up 500 to 1000%? Its already gone up 100% in the last few years and the government is promising us more of the same.

  28. Cut off all “Equalization payments ( What an absurd definition, given that there is no real equalization. Its not payments but extortion). Give him a taste of what hes advocating. When do we vote on if we want Quebec?

  29. That’s right knight 99, translation of lefty-speak: ‘stop the oil sands’ means ‘stop the oil sands corporations’. Lefty oil sands vision is of a massive chain of gulags in the north, with hundreds of thousands of jobs mining oil sands with shovels and buckets. Re-education seminars every night in the camps… the world has seen it before, many times.

    ‘…I seldom under-estimate the left’s stupidity.”
    Touché.

  32. Let me fix that headline for ya Kate.
    Let’s Erect A Plaque At 787 DUMB A$$ St W To Remember Jack Layton

  33. Whatever ever happened to the idea that the NsDaP was the party of the working man? This attack on the resource sector is evil.

    Why does the NDP hate the working class?

  34. I’m going to give the govts of Sask and Alberta a bit of advice
    You’re a freeloading farmer, aren’t you, spike? Parasites don’t get to give advice.

  35. Fareed Zacharia, apologist for Barack Obama (hero to many NDPers) said to a guest on his program that natural-resource-based nations become corrupt. This is how elitist socialists think.
    During the days of the war in the woods in BC, where loggers and millworkers were fighting for their jobs, I saw a news clip of a snotty female NDP insider carping, “well, I guess loggers will just have to find OTHER jobs.”
    This is the mindset we’re confronted with.

  37. Sammy “Northern Gateway pipeline will NEVER get built,so says Craig Oliver”
    Craig hasn’t been getting much right lately. All those weekly scandals Craig and his buddies kept making up just bounced off the Conservatives. Years of campaigning for the Liberals and he can’t swing one voter.
    Craig should realize people are ticked off because the Liberals lined their pockets with cash. You can be outraged for 100 years by Parliamentary procedure and it isn’t going to move 1 vote.

  38. He he the NDP _ No Development Party. Actually with Mulcair’s commi-nomics and his not-ready-for-prime-time leadership, the dips should wrap up the Luddite vote – all 9 of them.
    This sphinker-boy has no idea where to find a working man let alone claim to represent one.

  40. phil,anyone with a pea for a brain would have taken up farming long ago like I told you to do.You must be the least intelligent person on the planet to know of all the free money for farmers and still havent bought a farm.Or maybe mommy wont spring for the cash and the work cause it takes both.

  41. Can we please stop with the canard that it’s “western oil resources” that is driving the price of the CAD$ upward? The Canadian balance of trade has never been more than $8 billion in any year since 1972 (in fact, it’s only been that high a few years since 2000, and it’s bounced around zero, give or take, the last few). In the context of a $1 trillion economy, this is noise.
    The CAD$, like the AU$ and the NZ$, has been going up for a few reasons, but chief among them are: the US’s continued debasement of their own currency (note that the CAD$ vs other strong currencies, like the Swiss franc, has not been such a great performer), and the widespread perception that Canada, Oz, and Kiwiland are stable, democratic countries with a rule of law, more-or-less respect for private capital, and not quite as bankrupt as Western Europe. So, if you’re a rich American looking to diversify against Bambam’s rapaciousness, or a rich Chinese looking for a bolthole against a return of Communist repression, relatively cheap real estate, and a thriving Chinese community, or a rich Persian anxious to get out before Israel nukes your country, Canada looks awfully attractive. For investors, Canadian resources, which include stuff like wheat, wood, minerals, etc., not just oil, are also a good investment.
    So, please – it’s not like Canada’s only source of foreign exchange is western oil. Can we put this to falsehood to bed, along with the idea that Alberta voters are “smarter” than Ontario’s? Alberta just voted in liberal-in-Tory-clothing Redford when they had a real conservative alternative. In Ontario, PC sock-puppet Tim Who-dat? came closer to knocking off McSquinty, and he’s half the politician Danielle is. And Toronto has a mayor who’s twice the man – in more ways than one! – than Calgary’s is. Let’s put aside the myths, and focus on reality.

  42. Let us not forget that these are nasty people who are more supportive of the UN against their own country than they are working toward the success of Canada and their fellow citizens.
    In other words they have no business in politics as a representative of the people of this nation.
    And every word out of his mouth proves it.
    Ditto Craig Oliver!

  43. “Internalizing the Environmental Costs”. It just sounds so good. I have a suggestion for Ms. Redford. Take the $8B a year we send in transfer payments and start internalizing. Send the money on Research, technology, remediation etc..

  44. mulcair is a complete idiot…
    him and phil go togeather like a hand and glove.
    phil you should stage a hunger strike.
    and show us a little conviction, stick it out till the end.

  45. Steve, why do you think the highways around the big citys and the new hospitals are happening, this is to solidify the money into Alberta ground, to much cash in the bank, can be “shared”. Highway 63 twinning will be sped up, it takes time. All the leftie NDPEE types scream about all the money Norway has in the bank, Norway is its own socialist country, if Alberta banked it all, how soon would the ROC be screaming for their fair share, 2014 is not far away now, this silly Turdough socialist money transfer scheme, like the “glowbull warming”, to reward welfare bums like Kweebec will change I hope, if it doesn’t then we will see a different Canada.

  46. Steve “Take the $8B a year we send in transfer payments and start internalizing. Send the money on Research, technology, remediation etc.”
    For clarification. The money for equalization comes from federal taxes on all Canadians. The federal government then writes cheques to almost all provinces except Alberta. The Alberta government does not send the money to the federal government, the ba$tards come and get it.

  47. At some point in our past someone figured out we could control fire and by doing so we could not only better our lives but defend ourselves from the other beast.
    Because of our dumber by design public school system a whole generation has been taught to belive that fire is eviiiil and life would be better without it.
    I really thought Tommy Mulch Hair would give Redford a little breathing room before he started spewing pea soup but I guess there is no fixing stupid.
    Also someone needs to point out to the people in B.C. Dumping on us that they live on the west side of Alberta and the rest of Canada is on the east side of Albeta.

  48. Spell check. Believe, Alberta. I know most could figure it out but their those who cannot.

  49. Am I missing something here? If foreigners wish to buy our oil, then they pay for it with Canadian dollars, thus foreign exchange. The demand for oil EXPORTS is causing, among other things, the Cdn dollar to appreciate v.v other currencies, principally the $US.
    So, exports of oil are causing hardship for other exports? WTF?? Only an economic illiterate would argue that success exportation in one sector of the economy causes hardship for other (manufacturing) exporters. It’s all part of thesame picture v.v. You can’t have it both ways – be a successful exporter without currency appreciation. There are obviously other factors at play, which Mulcair, IMO wilfully ignores.

  50. Like Jack Laytoon before him Tommie the Toon is nothing but caricature of a person spewing lefty nonsense and poison with every breath.
    Nothing would be more just for this clownicature than to be Wile E Coyote’d off a friggin cliff or onto the front end of a freight train ……
