  2. Who is this guy? what a great tune!! lol reminds me of my 20’s lol . excellent thank you for the post!!!

  3. On Tuesday June 21, the MSM news were seething with photos of Justin Trudeau canoeing on the Rideau Canal, celebrating national Aboriginal day, while clad in what was perceived by media as his Father’s buckskin coat. I ran across this older blog today that shows an image of Pierre Trudeau’s famous buckskin in the Canadian Canoe Museum in Peterborough, Ont. . Scroll down the page and you’ll see the jacket.

    Is this the same jacket??
    Now watch the video and see for yourself.

  5. It’s CBC, they’ll find a way to blame the ‘blonde grizzly’ on ‘climate change’. It’s their universal excuse for everything.

  7. Canadian beef is back on the menu at Earls restaurants, at least in Alberta and Saskatchewan.
    Earls president Mo Jessa announced Wednesday that 27 of its 66 restaurants are now serving Canadian-raised, ethically treated beef that is free of antibiotics and growth hormones. The rest of the restaurants will follow suit over the next couple of years…
    Earls is now working with Beretta Farms, based in Ontario, and Spring Creek Ranch, based in Vegreville, Alta.

  8. On the one hand Pierre may have had more than one buckskin jacket. On the other hand, that buckskin looks brand new and Justin is quite a bit bigger than his father.

  9. That’s why we’re going to pay Red Rachel’s burglary–oops! carbon–tax.
    Alison Redford, please come back. All is forgiven.

  13. If anyone is interested in what is a real problem with the oil & gas industry, read this article. The new rules are sorely needed.
    Oil & gas wells produce most of their profit early on in production. As the reservoir is depleted these wells become marginal and eventually it costs more money to plug and abandon than it does to keep them pumping (even at a loss). During low oil prices, oil companies can slip into bankruptcy with a high number of unplugged wells on their books. A recent court decision puts the cost of plugging wells second to the claims of secured creditors such as banks. This means the banks get some of their money back and the liability for the unplugged wells falls to the municipality in which the wells are located (i.e. the tax payer is left on the hook).
    http://calgaryherald.com/business/energy/new-well-cleanup-rules-could-put-damper-on-canadian-energy-deals
    Some think fracking and earthquakes are the big deal in the oil industry but the #1 problem is the high number of unplugged wells which could allow oil & gas to migrate into water acquifers or which could allow contamination of water acquifers from surface.
    There are over 200,000 stripper wells in the USA often producing less than a barrel a day – not enough money to pay for the plugging and abandonment of the wells (often $50,000 or more).
    One US company amassed a debt of over $1 billion before entering bankruptcy protection and not one of their 1,500 stripper wells was ever plugged ($75 million). The cost of plugging all the marginal wells in the US is over $10 billion.

  14. B – it’s a carbon sales tax. If we all refer to it that way then the message might get through (sales tax talk being the third rail of Alberta politics).

    “The food riots in socialist paradise Venezuela are escalating”
    “During Carnival, we used to throw eggs at each other just to have some fun. Now an egg is like gold.”
    “That’s a quote from 24 year old Venezuela resident Gabriel Márquez, who grew up during the “boom years” of high oil prices under Hugo Chavez. Current conditions were unimaginable to him, but now the people of his country are starving and rioting just to find a few scraps of food to eat. The New York Times has a surprisingly unvarnished look at the collapse of that country this week and the stories don’t seem to be exaggerated in the slightest.
    We’re witnessing a nation in the midst of a wide scale societal implosion.”

  17. Not just carbon taxes.
    The Trudeau government’s enchanced CPP payouts will require higher CPP premiums for employees and employers. GIS payments will rise because we can’t leave out those who didn’t pay into CPP.
    Sunny profligate ways are ahead.

  19. But if the cupboard is bare, as the government likes to claim it is, then how come it splurges on a shiny, fancy toy for one of its flunkies? Will social justice be dispensed in a better manner by him having heated seats? How about the salaries of many of its loyalists in the Calgary Kremlin?
    The NDP are simply thieves grabbing as much as they can for themselves with both hands, claiming some higher purpose for doing so. Don’t forget how the Soviet politburo lived high on the hog while the proletariat could barely get by.

  20. And they will continue so long as there are sheep to be sheared.

  22. As a rule I’m opposed to even more government regulation. That said, extraction companies should be responsible for reclamation of the areas they explore. Perhaps they could be made to purchase a bond from the municipality for the anticipated amount of ‘plugging’ as part of the initial license only redeemable once the well is shut in. If the well is not shut in and/or the company goes bankrupt then ownership of the bond would transfer to the municipality and they would have the funds to do the work themselves.
    Thanks for the link.

    That reporter hit on a Truth that few understand…Just because you have the authority does not mean you can excise that authority to treat yourself to ALL the perks..Government Employees regularly abuse a system that is setup to enable a functional process…
    In public Corporations you would be fired if you abused the financial policy for personal gain…In general you have MORE authority than you actually need to perform your task….
    JMHO

  25. Poppa Pierre must had had more than one jacket, or sonny boy borrowed it from the museum!

  26. Remember the words of David Dingwall: “I’m entitled to my entitlements.”
    Now that the NDP have their hands on the piggy bank, why shouldn’t they live high on the hog? They’re entitled to.

  27. I know! Justin is waaaaay bigger than Pierre. I met PET in person in 1975, he would have worn a 36 max!

  28. Mo Jessa says sourcing beef from “multiple sources” makes his job harder. I wonder if the new suppliers are also halal?
    He’s still quacking about “humanely-raised” beef. Well, in the real world, all Alberta beef is humanely raised. So Earls can continue to do without my business.

  30. Humane? You sure about that?

    How humane is that?
    the beef industry is “market sensitive” and “affected by economics of scale.” Murray mentions a former program that at one time allowed him to finish his own calves with grain, sending them to Intercontinental Packers in Saskatoon for slaughter. Those days are gone, as we all know, because of radical consolidation in the industry. Intercon is gone and two companies, Cargill and XL Foods, now do 80 per cent of the beef processing in Canada. Farmers like Murray who want to process their livestock through the mainstream markets have no choice but to sell their animals to large feedlots, primarily in Alberta

    I don’t eat at Earls or restaurants like it, so don’t assume I’m defending it.

  31. “This is Nigel Farage’s day”
    “Love him or hate him, this is Nigel Farage’s day – without him there would be no EU referendum”
    “How do you measure success in politics? Is it by the elections that you win and the jobs that you hold? Or is it by the change you bring about in the world?
    By the first measure, Nigel Farage is largely a failure.”

  36. Maybe the spawn is wearing the same jacket. The real story is the shared scrambled engrams.
