Her vindictiveness towards BC a year ago was indicative of her true nature, I believe. Her TV commercials that blight our national airwaves are low-grade horse-manuric propaganda as well. <br /><br />En masse, Albertans consider themselves a superior race apart, for reasons known only to their sense of entitlement. Kenney, a man after Dingwall's heart, knows entitlement well - he kept his federal MP's salary while campaigning for provincial party leadership in Alberta, and charged us all $10K a year for his parents' Calgary<br /> basement while living in Ottawa. When this jerkass assumes the Emperorship of Alberta, the whining and complaining will reach an even greater fever pitch.<br /><br />BMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-27437939172885036722019-01-24T15:41:26.993-08:002019-01-24T15:41:26.993-08:00.. I've crossed the Great Divide more than any..... I've crossed the Great Divide more than any living family member or friend. Afoot, on skis, trucks, cars.. Approached the 'blue Rockies' (Lightfoot) with agonizing anticipation each and every time. Pitched a tent once right atop it.. we shared out shots of liqeur with strangers from other lands lost or delayed on the trails who were astonished to find our glowing tent in the dark. As a young man we crossed the Divide nightly, to drink legally in BC & return to Alberta happy. Met moose, wolverine, grizzly and black bear, elk, goat, sheep, eagle and hawk, Fox, wolf, deer aplenty.. and in winter saw sign of lynx and bobcat. Plenty o fish too<br /><br />Funny.. I never noticed a crack in the earth up there.. seperating BC from Alberta. pretty damn sure the wildlife didn't either<br /><br />Rafe of course was blunt - seen it done it.. had the t-shirt & the tatoo. In the late hears I was stoked to see his friendship with Damien Gillis.. comin down the pathway of those big haunting Rafe footsteps.. as an exemplar he attracted similar.. and he collected exemplars for his own education.. <br /><br />These resource stripping enterprises would be entirely serviced by temporary foreign workers if possible.. at minimum wage. And the First Nations & coherent concerned Albertans or British Columbians would be run off to service Big Energy & Foreign Money. ? So litle of the tar sands product actually goes to Energy Security For Canadians. Its laughable to read the pimping for Energy East.. the Diluted Bitumin or LNG 'gold rush' to Asia.. However that will sacrifice Tourism, The Wild Fisheries, the twin & mated eco-systems of the Land and the Marine Waters. Bye bye keychain species and habitat<br /><br />It all reminds me that Iceland's tourism industry is anchored in whale watching.. so what th hell are they thinking, letting the Japanese slaughter whales.. in Icelandic waters.. ? Canada just wants to do the same on a far grander scale. The 'Last Redoubt' - that's Canada.. Grr.. its maddening.. but I will double, no triple my resolvethe salamanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06853337802990122289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-14491533446061512422019-01-24T15:07:45.345-08:002019-01-24T15:07:45.345-08:00
