God Made A Farmer!

Of all the superbowl ads, this one is the best:

Let the vegans and others try to get this one banned. Too late, it already aired!

Why do lefties only know how to ban stuff? Why can't they create anything?

Oops, silly me, they know how to create deficits (McGuinty and Redford), and they certainly know how to create dissension (Idle no More, Occupy) and they are experts at creating an atmosphere filled with hate against anyone who does not agree with them (Abortion).

I'm sick of the lefty whiners. They need to get out of the basement, get a job and join the real people in the real world. No more government grants for phoney research, no more living off of the productive like parasites.

If the greenies are so concerned about the environment, let them become farmers. HA! Thought not! It's a failure by them to create! (Well except for those bird choppers they love!)

Thank God for farmers....but don't except greenies to understand where their food comes from, that would be too difficult for them to comprehend. They are too busy growing illegal marijuana and protesting against the very people who provide them with food. 

Blame Alberta!

Will the Liberals never learn? Are they so egotistical that they think people still listen to their lies? I understand that Ontario is having an election, but what does Alberta have to do with their election?

Well, it seems that Dalton wants to do what Liberals always do, blame Alberta. Trudeau gave us the finger, and instituted the transfer of oil wealth from Alberta to the east, using the National Energy Program. It killed our oil industry overnight, people committed suicide, walked away from their homes and swore to never vote Liberal ever again. The mention of Trudeau leaves a sickening smell in the noses of people in Alberta. 

So, what does Dalton do? He proclaims, without any evidence at all, that the east has been supporting the oil industry for "decades". 

Funny, it now appears that the west is supporting the rest of the country, but Dalton is trying to use that old Liberal trick of divide and lie. Why do Liberals hate the west? What have we ever done to them but shovel huge amounts of money towards the east?

Even though Ontario is now a "have not" province, they deny it, but still take the wests money. Ontario has a provincial debt of over 200 Billion dollars, Quebec over 500 Billion, and Alberta zero, yet somehow it is Alberta's fault that Ontario is on the rocks? Somehow Alberta is to blame for Dalton's bad management of Ontario?

Well good luck with that tactic Dalton, Ontario is going to hand you your pink slip no matter how hard you slam Alberta. We here in Alberta are cheering on our fellow Conservatives in Ontario. We know it is time to clean out the barn, slop the pigs, and shout "heehaw" because the Liberal brand is dead.

Good luck in trying to divide our country Dalton, you are truly an unfortunate mistake of nature.

From Alberta With Love!

I want to take this opportunity to thank Ontario. You could have gone the way of Quebec, and voted for the NDP. You could have continued to vote for the Liberal party, like PEI and Newfoundland, but you came out in record numbers to support Prime Minister Harper and the Conservatives. Thank you. You saved our country.

You have become a "have not" province under the rule of McGuinty, yet you refuse to give up. You could have taken the easy route and voted NDP for all the "goodies" they offered, you refused. You showed all of Canada that the pioneer spirit still beats strong in your hearts. You showed Canada that you might be a "have not" province right now, but you are not willing to continue down that path.

I want you to know that Alberta has your back. Finally, provinces are not being divided for political reasons. You have supported Canada for most of our existence with equalization payments, and now that you need them, look west, we are with you. Together the east and the west can make Canada spectacular! Our independent spirits are alive and we are now joined instead of alienated.

We are not different, like the politicians and media want us to believe. You saw through the hype and joined with us to go forward instead of back. Without you, we would have had PM Layton. Thank you Ontario. God has blessed Canada.

Martin and McGuinty, Bully Boys!

Don't have the time to watch everything that went on in the committee? Well, here are two videos, compare and contrast the difference.



Finally, after two hours of the opposition interrupting Minister Oda, she gets a chance to clearly explain the FACTS!



A witch hunt is occurring, put on by the the opposition coalition, and it is disgusting. I hope voters understand that it is the opposition who are in contempt of Parliament. I also hope that you email Speaker Peter Milliken and tell him to stop this outrage.

Greenies Getting "Dirty" Money!

Hey Quebec...are you with us? Shale gas? Is that eco-friendly Quebec? Are you ready to join Alberta in the energy fight or are you going to restrict development of your resources because of your eco-snobbery? You are so used to looking down on all of us because your province was blessed with hydro-power opportunities (stolen from Newfoundland) instead of coal. Now, you need to decide,  do you stay with your eco-snobbery, or do you get in the energy game? Think mega good paying jobs for Quebecors!

Good luck, because if you do jump into the game be prepared for the greenies to come after you with lots of American dollars.

US cash vs Oil Sands!

...If the campaign against oil tankers were to succeed in Vancouver, overseas exports of Canadian oil would be blocked and Canada would be stuck with only one major customer for Alberta oil: the United States. That's the trade-off.

Like most protests, the one against oil tankers has all the look and feel of a Canadian grassroots movement. The campaign against Alberta's oil sands also seems to rise out of the people, but the interesting thing is that there are very few roots under that grass. Money comes in from a small core of U.S. charitable groups. One of those groups -- the U.S. Tides Foundation of California (Tides U.S.) and its Canadian counterpart have paid millions to at least 36 campaign organizations. (See list at right.)

All the money, at least US$6-million, comes from a single, foreign charity. The Tides U.S. campaign against Alberta oil is a campaign against one of Canada's most important industries. It's fair for Canadians to inquire about who's funding this campaign and why. The trouble is, nobody knows.

...These Big Five have poured at least US$190-million into Canada's environmental movement over the last decade, but their American logos are nowhere to be seen. Instead, we see a pageant of Canadian icons: dogwood, herds of caribou, wild salmon, First Nations and loons. U.S. tax returns show that the David Suzuki Foundation has been paid at least US$10-million from American foundations. This hasn't exactly been out in the open.

Very, very interesting read, and she has way more information at her site. Like this breakdown of who is getting all the American money:

And look at this little breakdown of donations to fight the oil sands: (Corporate Ethics obviously has no ethics!)

And they jap about how "deniers" get big money from "big oil"? Talk about hypocrites! They never actually provide any facts about the "big oil" donations to scientists who are "deniers". Look at those organizations who are getting funded from the US to shut down one of Canada's economic engines, the oil sands. Hold them to account for that funding. Boycott HP, let them feel the heat of pressure groups against them for a change. 

It is time for us "deniers" to start calling out every eco-nut and their eco-schemes. They are hiding now, when they aren't busy blowing up school children to make their twisted point! It's time to take away charitable status if they will not reveal their funding donors. It is time for us to go after any politician that spouts "green" plans, (McGuinty anyone?) make them explain how the extra cost will benefit our society, don't just take what they or the greenies say as the truth! The greenies are getting "dirty" money from foreign charities to shut down the oil sands.....time to fight back, Quebec are you with us?

Hey, Everything Is Going Great!

The opposition and their media are trying to make it seem that the government is doing a bad job, but looking at the economy, it seems that everything is going great!

I was very impressed with PM Harper's speech to the UN. What I hated was that he was actually there, promoting Canada to dictators. Canada would be better served by disengaging from the UN. It is a corrupt organization catering to all the Muslim dictatorships and denigrating all the western countries.

We need trade, but not with tyrants. Eastern Canada gets it's oil from the "blood" economies. They see nothing wrong with importing their oil from dictatorships, and at the same time lecturing us Albertans about how bad we are for developing the oil sands.

Personally, I say, screw you! Charest and McGuinty can suck up to Saudi kings, and environmentalists, they are weak little would be kings. I want a government that stands up for ME, a Canadian. I want the 450 Tamil refugees sent back home. I want the next boat load of "supposed" refugees refused entry into Canada. I want a strong government that defends Canada.

The gun registry vote tells me that only the Conservatives understand the importance of individual freedom. The lefties want to rule us, they want to oppress us, and they want to make us puppets to their thinking. Thank goodness we have the Conservatives in power right now.

Shut Down The Oil Sands! They Shout!

Funny how the environmentalists yap about big oil granting so much money to the "deniers" and fail to tell us where their money is coming from. Here is a group that is taking a complaint about the oil sands to NAFTA. Notice that the government of Canada has actually given them money. Taxpayer money going to try to shut down the oil sands? Now this is a real scandal!

Canada faces NAFTA complaint over oil sands

In the latest move in a long-running campaign to highlight the impact of oil sands development, the submission by Environmental Defence Canada, Natural Resources Defense Council and three citizens charges that toxic tailings ponds are being allowed to leak and contaminate ground water.

So, Canadian environmental groups are trying to get NAFTA to shut down the oil sands. Where do they get their money? Take a look:



Industry Canada and Public Works Canada.....that's our tax dollars being used to sue the Canadian government. Also notice TD Friends of the environment. Want to see the board of directors?


That Suzuki guy gets around now doesn't he! Environmental Defence's Annual Report is interesting in that they provide no details about how they spent the money.




Wow! How did they increase their revenues so quickly? I don't know, their annual report is more of a propaganda report than it is a financial report. How do they get away with that? Can we send Sheila Fraser in to audit them? They did get federal money, so she should be allowed to determine how they used it.

Cut off the money NOW! If the City of Toronto wants to give them money, fine, but they should get NO federal tax dollars. If they keep up their attacks against the economic engine of Canada, they just might get their wish. I would love to shut down the oil sands for as long as it takes to make both eastern Canada and the US lefties to scream uncle. It would be payback for Trudeau and the NEP.

Maybe Environmental Defence should worry about the pollution of Toronto, all those smog alerts can't be good, but living in Alberta I couldn't tell you because we have never had a smog alert. So who are the polluters? You know all those people, six million isn't it, all crammed into one small area in Toronto, the pollution from that many people is a huge problem. Maybe Environmental Defence could look into that, oh and while they are at it, maybe they could pressure McGuinty to close down Nanticook, which spews more pollution than all of the oil sands development. I guess econuts don't sh*t in their own houses. How about they go to China and protest all the polluting coal plants they are building. Right, I thought not, they love communists and hate Canada, why else would they sue Canada with taxpayer funds?

I want to know how big the grants are from Industry Canada and Public Works, and who authorized it. Cut Environmental Defence's grants TODAY!

McGuinty Gets Smacked Down By Pierre!

You might have seen the Hansard on some blogs, but you have not seen it live from the floor of the House. This is one of the best smack downs I have ever seen, too bad the MSM failed to cover this. I thought Ann Coulter was ALL the rage with them, guess not when their lefty friends get verbally smacked.

Pierre Poilievre absolutely demolished McGuinty in this exchange.



Watch Mark Holland, he is not too happy about the whole exchange. Is he starting to realize how lame the Liberals really are? He was a star with Dion, not so much with Iggy.

I understand that MP's have some sort of immunity in Parliament, but that was established in the old days before TV cameras reported everything in Question Period. This immunity junk has to stop. Any MP can make outrageous statements and they can not be held accountable, but the MSM can then use what they said without worry of prosecution.

So McGuinty can get up and slander Ann Coulter without any fear of prosecution. What he spouted was just as bad as anything Ann Coulter has ever said, but Parliament protects him.

Great job Pierre! I love your style of delivering body blows to the opposition!

No More "Special" Status!

Oh! Oh! I smell trouble. Can the minority Conservative government really do this without some political fallout?

Quebec’s oversized share of Canada Day funding to end

OTTAWA -- Quebec will no longer receive the lion's share of funding from a federal program promoting Canada Day festivities as a result of an overhaul that would eliminate-millions of dollars in administrative costs, Canadian Heritage Minister James Moore said Wednesday.

In an interview with Canwest News Service, Mr. Moore said that the Harper government has shut down regional committees that were using up about half of the budget of the $6.7-million Celebrate Canada program so that there is more money available for community celebrations. He said the government would also introduce a formula that allows each province and territory to get its fair share of funding based on population.

"We're frankly cleaning up a program that was badly structured and badly created by the Liberals back when they were in government," Mr. Moore said.

I say go for it! Quebec doesn't even like the rest of Canada, so why should we pour big bucks into a province that wants to separate? If Alberta sent 15 members of the Alberta Separatist party to Ottawa, do you think the rest of Canada would send us MORE money?

BlackJack brings up a great point in the comments:

Re: What happens if I touch this domino?

hahah true. Normally I would expect some over dramatic backlash against Harper, but in Quebec Canada day is actually "moving day" for many and they don't really celebrate Canada day. Quebec would be it's own nation by now except when you consider the smallish detail that out of the 14 billion dollars 6 provinces receive from transfer payments in 2009, Quebec rakes in 8.3 billion into its pockets.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equalization_payments_in_Canada

Exactly, why stop at some Canada Day funds, the really big one is equalization. How Quebec would squeal if they got cut off of the trough called equalization. Bye Bye $7 a day daycare that no other province no matter how rich or poor can seem to afford.

Alberta will be labeled the bad guy by the lefties, if equalization is stopped. No one will remember that Liberal Ontario and Liberal Quebec slammed Conservative Alberta in Copenhagen.

Cut off the funds. Every province should stand on their merits. Quit sucking off the teat of the producers, and then kick them in the butt to make yourselves look better. Ontario went from a have province to a have not province under the reign of McGuinty, and that's okay with the lefties?

No more "special" status for any province, or any minority group. What ever happened to equal status for all?

TD BANK In For Some Serious Backlash!

I wonder why the TD Bank would get into the climate change issue with a report that was guaranteed to incite Western Canadians into a frenzy, and frenzy it will be. Do they not understand that Albertan's still remember NEP, that's why they will not vote Liberal. For a bank to get political, which is what they have done by paying for this report, is unCanadian. And Donald Drummond is responsible for this report. He requested it, the TD paid for it.

Mr. Drummond was curious about the regional economic impact of the Conservative government's plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 20% below 2006 levels by 2020, and commissioned a study to investigate. So far, so good.

His mistake was to ask two environmental groups, the David Suzuki Foundation and Pembina Institute, to author the report.

Oh, and this is hysterical:

"For anyone to insinuate retribution against a guy as neutral as Don Drummond...it's thuggery," said David McGuinty, the Liberal environment critic.

Mr. Drummond said that TD does not endorse the findings but neither does he think the results of the study were distorted. "We have an obligation to analyze economic matters that will affect our own business and that of our clients. We have always done this," he said.

Thuggery, HA! Hey McGuinty you Liberal crybaby, try this for neutral:

Drummond was once a senior economic adviser to former Liberal prime minister Paul Martin and is someone the current Liberal leader, Stéphane Dion, likes to cite in his speeches in favour of taking action against global warming.

Political hardball? No question. But as Drummond told CBC News, "it's all in the timeframe." If you accept the government's contention that to meet the Kyoto deadline of 2012, big cuts — equivalent to almost 30 per cent of our current greenhouse gas emissions — have to begin in 2008, and the only vehicle for those is a tax.

"This would not be the approach I would recommend," Drummond said. But other techniques would take time to implement, "and that's why I grudgingly accepted that if you are going to have that type of timeframe, which is incredibly tight, you are going to have to go with a very blunt [instrument], such as a huge increase in the carbon tax."

That is why he is not in favour of proceeding with the clean air bill as currently amended either, Drummond added. "I do want to see something done with the environment. [But] I think the economic impact would be so dire that environmental policy would be abandoned."

Yikes that is from CBC, the mouthpiece of the Liberal party, so it must be true!

The TD Bank financed Calgary-based Pembina Institute and Vancouver's David Suzuki Foundation to produce the comprehensive report. The group contracted with respected economic consultants, M.K. Jaccard and Associates Inc., to model the impacts of climate policies; Jaccard has done similar work for the Canadian government.

TD's chief economist, Don Drummond, said the bank has not endorsed any targets, though it has supported a policy of a national emissions cap. He said the bank's interest was to shed light on an area where there has been little informed debate: the likely cost of imposing regulations.

So, Drummond, a Liberal, who supported Dion's carbon tax, gets the TD to pay for this joke of a report by two of the most far left econut organizations in Canada, and the TD doesn't think that it will impact their business with oil companies, and us, the little people? Our money can walk right over to the nearest Alberta Treasury Branch or our Credit Unions. We had already transferred our mortgage to a Credit Union but now it's time for us little people to talk with our money.

This report stinks worse than a dog sprayed by a skunk. Try to get that smelly oil out of the dogs fur, it's very hard to do, but it's very easy for the skunk to spray that oil. That is what the econuts have done. They have fear mongered for over 20 years, and the oil is sticking to politicians, who think that we want our industry stopped because of CO2. What our politicians fail to understand is that we want REAL pollution eliminated not some airy fairy the sky is falling CO2 wealth transfer to third world despots who keep their people in poverty on purpose.

We just happen to have the NDP environment critic in Edmonton, Linda Duncan, she of the university minded, save our earth crowd, willing to kill thousands of jobs in Alberta, because she has a pension from the university already, and will get another one if she is elected again, a double dipping dipper. Wonder how the students studying the environment will feel about having NO prospects for jobs in Alberta, because we demand government funding of these eco-terrorists get cut off if the PC want to get elected again.

David Suzuki was probably kidding when he said Stephen Harper and Alberta Premier Ed Stelmach should be jailed.

No one is sure whether the UN was kidding when it recently named Tinker Bell -- yeah, Tinker Bell, you think I could make this @##% up? -- as an "Honorary Ambassador of Green" for children. But that's only because it's the UN.

Anyway, if you're wondering about the performance of the Kyoto accord, it's been a total disaster because it requires nothing of the vast majority of the world's nations when it comes to cutting their GHG emissions, including the world's number one emitter, China, and the number two emitter, the U.S.

The U.S., unlike Canada and Jean Chretien, was never stupid enough to ratify Kyoto, going back to the Bill Clinton-Al Gore administration. Yep -- Gore.

But, hey, don't think about any of that.

I urge you to call these hypocrites out, because they have a pair of deuces and we have a royal flush. We pay the taxes and they suck off of the goodness of delusional people who think CO2 is a pollutant.

How are all the econuts getting to Copenhagen? Canadian econuts should canoe to Copenhagen if they want any credibility. That is the problem, they have lost credibility and are now a laughing stock. I sense a funeral approaching, rest in peace global warming.

Oh, and TD Canada Trust, don't think we westerners haven't taken measure of you, and you should expect some reduction of deposits in the near future in Alberta and Saskatchewan. Just giving you a heads up.

Jane Taber Stuck On "Progressive"

For Jane, it's all about being "progressive".

Months ago, the provinces got together and most were pushing a "cap and trade" system in Canada, Alberta said NO, we already had one within Alberta, for Alberta, keeping Alberta taxpayers money in Alberta. Well, without Alberta to suck dry, the issue went away, until now. Ontario and Quebec are starting a "cap and trade" system between themselves. I say good, now Ontario can send what money they have left to Quebec. Does McGuinty not understand that Quebec has hydro and Ontario has dirty coal? Jane thinks this is "progressive". I think it is McGuinty being in over his head.



So Ontario will buy credits from Quebec and both "have not" provinces will feel better. According to Jane, this is "progressive". Well, you can take your "progressive" and enjoy! This is Kyoto lite, Canada style. Ontario gives to Quebec, and gets hot air credits in return. Seems regressive not "progressive", but Jane had to refer to her notes so often, I'm pretty sure she has no understanding of the issue. Jane, don't they have a gossip section at the Globe and Mail?

This is a money sucking scheme, except it is Quebec sucking the money from Ontario. No news there.

As an Albertan, I was really ticked off by Jane's, well it's only Alberta brushoff. You sanctimonious latte sipping lefty. Ontario ships it's garbage to the States, Victoria dumps raw sewage into the ocean, but Alberta has the most wind turbines of all provinces combined, and we are forcing oil companies to pay into research development, but Alberta isn't doing enough? Get real. Ontario and Quebec GOOD, Alberta BAD. CTV stuck on dumb, isn't that "progressive"!

Western provinces get together and talk about increasing trade. Ontario and Quebec get together and develop a money transfer scheme.

Jane Taber thinks this is "progressive".

You Can't Just Make Things Up!

Unless you are a Liberal! Well, what a treat, we get Suzuki and McGuinty all in one day! Both are arrogant Liberals, who think the world revolves around them. Don't you dare disagree with them, they know everything, we know nothing.



Suzuki still has Mo Strong as an honourary board member. I wonder if Revenue Canada is still checking into the charitable status of his organization?

Seems regular Canadians are not being fooled anymore:

What's the best policy for reducing carbon emissions?

Regulating industry 80%
Carbon tax 20%

So, Dion, how's that carbon tax going? It's a sure winner, go for it! HA!

McGuinty has no idea what the Dion policy is, but when cornered, he uses the "well you haven't seen it yet excuse". Neither have you obviously. By the way, how is your brother Dalton doing with shutting down those coal generators? Thought so! What big mouth liar's both brothers are, and they are so arrogant they don't even blush when they lie.

I've done more for the environment so far this weekend then any Liberal MP has done in 13 years.

Liberal's never met a tax they didn't love!

Buzz CAWing

So Ontario releases it's budget, and everyone is so busy bashing each other, no one notices that CAW talks tough. No concessions, let's strike!

CAW vows no concessions in contract talks

Concessions by the Canadian Auto Workers union won't save the Detroit Three auto makers or restore their market share losses, but the costs of a strike would be high, the union said Tuesday as it gears up a public relations campaign before this summer's critical set of contract negotiations.

The CAW will not agree to the two-tiered wage structure that the United Auto Workers negotiated last year or to concessions, but it is prepared to consider cost-saving alternatives on such items as retiree health benefits, the union said in a presentation to analysts and reporters.

The union will redouble efforts to protect existing investment and attract new projects by maintaining the superior productivity and quality of Canadian plants and continuing its flexibility on work rules.

Let me get this straight, Ontario taxpayers are going to subsidize the auto industry so that CAW can increase it's demands, and strike if that doesn't work. Is Buzz on drugs? Or, is he so sure that the Liberal McGuinty government will continue to throw taxpayers money at his industry that he doesn't care.

The cost of a strike will be high? Sure Buzz, for your workers, especially those who do not have seniority. They are already losing their jobs, and you are still talking tough.

Add to that the fact that Democrats are protectionist, and won't care whether your plants are profitable or not, they are in election mode and will promote jobs for Americans over those for Canadians.

The solution from the McGuinty government? Re-training, for what job? No Walmart I know, even here in Alberta, pays $30/hour for an employee. If automotive employees are laid off, they won't be spending money.

The centrepiece of the government's balanced spending plan is a “skills-to-jobs” scheme that will see $1.5-billion over three years poured into training and apprenticeships. It includes a $355-million second-career strategy that will offer as many as 20,000 unemployed workers job counselling, living expenses and needs-based tuition grants so they can attend college programs.

Thanks Ontario, great idea, you spend the money to train the workers, who won't be able to find a job in Ontario, so the West will benefit. Works for me.

I met a guy from Quebec, who moved to Alberta because the union in Quebec was all about who you knew, not what your skills were, he couldn't get a job in Quebec because of the stranglehold unions have there. He got one instantly in Alberta.

Given the level of Alberta bashing that goes on from the Bloq, and Liberals in general, maybe they should thank us for the $16 Billion a year we send to Ottawa, and that doesn't include gas taxes that ALL provinces reap.

CAW needs to get real, and realize that most of the big honking trucks they produce end up in the West, and soon all their workers will be here too.
