If you are still wondering what is coming down the pipe politically for the West after reading this recent column by Charles Adler, and light of this breaking news on bourque , look no further than this offering from Macleans.
Be afraid Alberta. Be very, very afraid.
Having read the Macleans article, I find it very […]

Martin’s obsession with imposing Kyoto targets on Canadian industry appears to be bordering on pathological these days. Despite the fact the world’s largest greenhouse gas emitters have failed to show the slightest interest in joining the Kyoto Club, our historically-challenged Prime Minsiter seems hell-bent on crippling Canada’s carbon-based industry solely to achieve some feel-good, […]

So you say there’s no Liberal bias in the media? Now what do you suppose the response would have been if former Canadian Alliance leader “Scary” Stockwell Day, or Conservative Party leader “Firewall” Stephen Harper were to have made this little gaffe…
