Christy Clark is a terrible premiere and thinks we're all stupid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-36172633553895176212012-05-29T16:43:04.108-07:002012-05-29T16:43:04.108-07:00A fantastic article.. a real gem.

They cut through darkness, shine the light on what we need to know, or be aware of .. a salvo, say of about 100 similar articles.. might embolden another 100.. or even more. It could - even - get - twittering .. trending<br /><br />Somewhere in your well painted scenario and analysis is 'a black swan event' .. the kind that topples governments and blackens careers... and guarantees an infamous Wikipedia entry.. in a not at all respectful way...<br /><br />Is it poisoned water seeping downstream from tar ands tailings 'ponds'.. Will it be militant First Nations massing in the boreal, the rainforest.. and the coast ? Will it be a sudden desertion or leak or affidavit regarding live and robo electoral grooming & fraud? Or inherent electoral mistrust of evangelicals, revelations mixed with overly expressed Zionism ? Will it be a collapse of the west coast fisheries mimicking the loss of our east coast fishery ? Who sent a severed foot to the Harper Party headquarters ? Sounds like something from The Godfather ... <br /><br />I like where your article takes the reader... it suggests 'natural consequences' will come to pass.. as they always do. <br /><br />The eyes of Canada are on Alberta and British Columbia .. and yes, on the rest of the provinces and territories.. .. and its really good if we study Ottawa very carefully right now.. If this government is not aware of, attentive & responsible to, its electors, constituents, citizens.. and values.. it will be painful... The heartbeat thing ... you nailed it .. and nothing glowing in Ottawa.. that be for sure ...the salamanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06853337802990122289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-83116014312724687462012-05-29T09:40:52.678-07:002012-05-29T09:40:52.678-07:00Interesting thoughts, Anon.

Some time ago I sought to get the Council of Canadians, the Public Service Alliance, and a number of other labour organizations to support a registry for members to nominate local businesses that were particularly progressive and environmentally conscious. The idea was to fuel change by promoting sales at businesses that most closely reflected their customers' interests and values. Unfortunately none of the organizations I contacted, while supposedly supportive, was willing to back the initiative in any meaningful way.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-41108794877130653632012-05-29T09:21:41.810-07:002012-05-29T09:21:41.810-07:00We are only valued as "Consumers"; not a...We are only valued as "Consumers"; not as citizens, and recently, not even as voters.<br /><br />So, I propose we stop consuming. Moneyless Mondays. AND, just for fun, take a whack of cash out of the bank. Then, Spendless Sundays and Saving Saturdays. Once the businesses realize where their bread and butter comes from, maybe they'll know which group they should be supporting....<br />smAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-91389668575537039662012-05-29T08:35:50.636-07:002012-05-29T08:35:50.636-07:00And the tar sands being a mining operation will ev...And the tar sands being a mining operation will eventually run out of resources or the economic factors will make them redundant and Fort Mac will become another Uranium City.
