  2. The no side has it handily at the moment. But no worry, the progs will forge ahead with their restructuring of Alberta into a failed province.
    In the early 1930s my grandfather, who escaped to Canada from the Soviet Union in 1926, obtained a rent to purchase arrangement farm in the Oxbow area of southeast Saskatchewan. After six years of eating dust and building fences on top of fences that were buried by drifting dirt he relocated north of Saskatoon for the 1937 crop year only to see the crops devastated by the drought that had migrated north. He had enough and moved to the fruit belt of Niagara and raised fruit crops until his retirement.
    As a young man in the late 1930s my father, along with many other job seekers rode a freight to Ontario and saw a fellow beheaded by an open freight car door that slammed shut when the train engineer put the brakes on.
    The droughts of the 1930s were not a picnic for those directly involved.

  3. Here are some details about Alberta’s carbon tax legislation:

    Notice the emphasis on entries and searches *without* warrants. (Didn’t Canadians fight in a few wars to prevent that sort of thing from happening in this country?)
    So there you have it, folks. The whole thing is just an excuse for legalized theft. It has little, if anything, to do with environmental protection, energy conservation, or, for that matter, “clean” power generation.

  4. RE: Sanora Babb
    I read the book and watched the movie ”The Grapes of Wrath” many times. I could tell you hard luck stories about some of my ancestors who packed their belongings in an old car or truck and headed for greener pastures. The ones I admire however are the ones who survived the dust bowl, and stayed right here in Saskatchewan. To quote my uncle, after he had drank a couple more ”rye ‘n coke.” than he should have, ”It was so dry, we had fish that were four years old and they still hadn’t learn how to swim!!” And I must say that after while, I got tired of those hard luck stories.

  6. “The Grapes of Wrath” is a well-crafted book if you consider it’s more or less a New Deal polemic pamphlet against capitalism.
    If you want a whole collection of sob stories read “Ten Lost Years”. There’s a story in there about a guy who’s Dad was raising him and his siblings in the bush. After his Dad dies from blood poisoning from an axe wound, the youngster heads into civilization to tell someone about his Dad’s death and at age 17 sees a woman for the first time in his life.
    My own Dad got quite a laugh out of that story.

    How about “Ten Lost Years” if you want a whole collection of sob stories? I always liked the story about the Dad raising his family in the bush. The Dad dies of blood poisoning from an axe wound and the author of the story heads into civilization to tell someone about it. At age 17 he sees a woman for the first time in his life.
    My own Dad got quite a laugh out of that story.
