This week’s web poll of Canadian CEO’s and business leaders indicates that there is growing concern that high oil prices and Alberta’s growing economic strength may foster further […]

Perusing the morning news, I noticed that Yahoo now offers Arianna Huffington’s crazy news for paranoids and other nut cases. Looking at the headlines I was intrigued by Deepak Chopra’s latest mystical brain fart, “The Absolute Break Between Life and Death is an Illusion.” Now, if you have ever read C.S. Lewis’s “The […]

You know that relations between east and West are getting strained when even the Ontario hillbillies are denying Albertans’ right to chart our own future:
If you Alien Alberts wanna quit Canadee, get busy buildin’ up yer stoopid-ass Alberta Separatist Party an’ try holdin’ a dumbass referendum an’ see how far you get. Not far, […]

Remember when there was speculation that an Albertan would be the next Governor General? Silly goose. You underestimated the Liberal Party’s commitment to Eastern Canada and its vindictiveness toward Alberta. We now know that,
Clarkson’s successor likely to be Quebec woman

According to Adam Daifallah, the Ontario establishment continues to promote Bob Rae (see here for previous post on this silly topic). It seems Michael Valpy once again has his nose rammed up Rae’s you-know-what, as are several “Liberal insiders” (according to the Ottawa Citizen).
According to my friend in Ottawa who remembers living under the […]

Via Mickey Craig at the always excellent No Left Turns, Daniel Pipes documents how the jihadists like bin Laden seek a worldwide global caliphate. The “war on terror,” or whatever one calls it, is not about Afghanistan, Iraq, or even reclaiming Andalusia:
In nearly all cases, the jihadi terrorists have a patently self-evident ambition: to […]

CBC reports that the Klein government has legislation in the works to protect marriage commissioners from human rights complaints if they choose not to perform them. It will also protect churches from them. Here’s the government’s brief news release and here’s the CBC’s previous story on the Klein government’s waffling stance on this […]

Unfortunately, no one in the MSM felt it necessary to correct this nonsensical assertion from Carolyn Parrish on Canada’s military tradition:
“We are also not a country that is going to easily throw away 100 years of peacekeeping reputation and noble reputation in the world by a testosterone-filled general, and I think somebody should put […]

Two names being touted to replace Adrienne Clarkson as Governor General were Preston Manning and Joe Clark. Both twits to be sure, but also Albertans. And wouldn’t it be a novelty to have an Albertan in the office of the Governor General?
Today the National Post revealed that such thoughts truly were fantasy. You didn’t […]

We’ve got polls! The current standings are:
Lib 39%
Con 24%
NDP 19%
Some ND thinks its good news for the NDP (not entirely sure why); Bob Tarantino appears disgusted.
My view? Very, very impressive. A fifteen-point lead. Paul Martin deserves congratulations. Well no, he doesn’t, because he hasn’t done dick all to raise his party’s polling numbers. […]
