He Packs A Huge Punch.

Teddy bear Kenny, strikes again! He is so harmless looking, but he packs a huge punch. He is doing more to clean up the immigration file than any immigration Minister ever. Keep up the good work. 

By targeting younger and more language-proficient immigrants, a “transformational” package of immigration reforms promises to end the “vicious circle of unemployment” for newcomers, says Citizenship and Immigration Minister Jason Kenney.
“For too long the story of immigration to Canada has been summed up by the frustration of the highly trained professional who arrived with the expectation of being able to work at his or her skill level,” he said, addressing the Canadian Club of Toronto on Monday.
“We’re going to stop this practice of inviting highly trained people to come to Canada if they don’t have jobs or they’re not likely to succeed in the labour market.”

Alberta is crying for skilled labour. It's time for companies to help determine who is qualified, not the government. Maybe all those skilled machinists who were just protesting at the airport, might want to look westward. We don't bite, but we do hunt, with gasp.....GUNS.

Be forewarned, something in the air in Alberta causes lefties to grow up and realize the error of their ways. It might be the smell of freedom to achieve what you want with no limits, or it might be the feeling of knowing that your good hard work is keeping the country going. It's an attitude, and anyone can succeed, with a little work.

Alberta would much prefer to hire skilled Canadians rather than foreign workers. If Canadians are not willing to relocate, we will have no option. So put down those protest signs, grab your family and head west.

Jason Kenny is on the right track.

Among the changes proposed: adjusting the points system for Federal Skilled Workers; focusing on skilled tradespeople; and boosting the minimum amount required for investor immigrants, which stands at $800,000. Canada needs to get the “biggest bang for its buck” in attracting investor-immigrants, said Mr. Kenney.
Once the changes take effect, all applicants to the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) will undergo pre-assessment of their credentials to ensure they are a good fit for the Canadian market.
Language proficiency will take precedence. “The number one factor for success in immigrants is language proficiency. No point in bringing folks here if they don’t have language proficiency,” said Mr. Kenney.
The points system is being changed to allow a skilled labourer, such as a welder, to enter the country with less English or French than a regulated professional, such as a doctor or veterinarian.

 Welders, machinists, electricians, just about any trade you can think of are needed in Alberta and Saskatchewan. It's nice to see that government policies are going to reflect that need. Immigration is not about votes like the Liberals made it, it's about bringing skilled people into Canada to help build this country.

Build The Dang Pipelines!

Seriously, build them. Japan just agreed to stop importing oil from Iran, if we had a pipeline to BC built, they could buy the oil from us. We would be their most economical route.

If the Keystone pipeline to the US was built, oil prices would not rise as much as they are going to. The US would have a secure source of oil when things like this happen. Obama is a "eco-coward" for delaying the decision until after the election.

It is simple economics, supply and demand. This is something the "greens" have no concept of as they want us using light bulbs with mercury in them, because they don't give off "heat". Meanwhile those light bulbs end up in the landfills, and leach mercury into the soil and ground water. At the same time the oil industry is cleaning up it's act, in Canada at least.

They want the price of oil and gas to increase, so solar and wind can compete.  Watch the price of food and many other products start to climb as well as gas prices. The "greens" have no concept of harm to people. They actually think that the world has too many people, so a few lost to starvation is no big deal. Funny-sad how they spout about saving the planet, but look down their noses at the people who are starving because of their insane push to save a tree, instead of a life. Save a seal instead of sending the meat to starving people.

The "greens" have to stop playing silly bugger with human lives pretending that they are doing it for the greater good. For their own greater good they mean!

I am sick of them and their distorted view of how we should live. They fly from hot spot to hot spot for their conferences, and party like animals, but the poor people in Africa are not allowed to have power or running water.

If sending one tractor to Africa, with years of gas and oil for it can feed hundreds, the "greens" would protest it. They want us back in the stone age, while they live it up. They also will not tell the truth about pipelines. Do those people living in Vancouver know that a pipeline runs right under the city?

I love that map! Alberta is the oil and gas lifeline of the US. How many Americans know that? Funny how no pipelines make it into Ontario or Quebec, I guess they like Saudi blood oil.How did all those pipelines get built? Innovators not destroyers like the "greens". Why the big problems now? "Greens" getting big money from American foundations to stop the development of Canada's resources. The greens are making up an industry, to support themselves.

Build the dang pipelines, a refinery or two, and some nuclear plants while we are at it. With natural gas below $3, expect the "greens" to ramp up their protests against fracking.

Go Alberta, Saskatchewan and Newfoundland and Labrador! Don't let the "greens" stop the enrichment of our society for our children. (Using typical lefty emotional argument here.)

The West Is The Place To Be!

I have been seeing lots of Ontario plates here in Alberta, and every time I look into the vehicle it is a young male or males. BC gets the retired Albertans, Alberta gets the up and coming young people, people who are here to work and succeed. Welcome!

Alberta, BC, and Saskatchewan are the power driving Canada's engine. We are the "have" provinces, including Newfoundland, which is a kindred spirit. Our malls are packed with young families, shopping, and buying things, making the engine purr.

Brad Wall's win tonight is a clear message that given a choice between a "collective" and rewarding individuals, in the end the individuals will win. Good job Wall! Believe it or not for the first time in years, Saskatchewan is growing. I still see the occasional Sask plate, but I suspect they are just driving through. 

I wish we had Klein back, but as that won't happen, I want Brad Wall to be the one who defends the west's oil. Our premier elect is a waste of space, she was too busy getting elected to go to the US and make our case for why the US NEEDS our oil. Wall has been a great voice for the west and now that the election is over, I hope he will clue in both the premier of Alberta and the premier of BC, they both need a swift kick in the butt.

The 100 million that Alison gave to the teachers could have been better used to promote our oilsands, but I suspect the lefty PC are too scared to actually support Alberta's biggest industry. After the Stelmach royalty disaster, we need leadership like Wall has provided to Saskatchewan. We need the Wildrose Alliance!

Even with our lame leadership in Alberta, the west is the place to be for young people who want to work.....well except for Occupy Vancouver, they are obviously smoking too much BC Bud!

Go west young man/woman has never been truer! We actually have good paying jobs out here!

100 Days, 236 Scandals!

While lefties praise Obama after 100 days, some people have been keeping tabs of what Obama has really been up to... 236 scandals and counting!

This is an excellent site that has documented all the Obama scandals with video and links. Start at scandal #1 and work your way to scandal #236.

#222 Napolitano - Canadian Terrorist Entry Lie - 4/24/9 Second, KOA Radio’s Gunny Bob reports Team Obama’s Janet “Napolitano claimed that some of the 9-11 terrorists entered the US via Canada. This is an outright lie. As the 9-11 Commission reported, all of the 9-11 terrorists entered the US from abroad. She then stated that no terrorists have entered the US via Mexico, which is patently false according to the Director of the FBI in testimony before the Congress.” UPDATE 4/24/9 “I knew the minute it came out of my mouth it was wrong,” she said. Republicans now are calling for her resignation.

#200 Fascist Obama Tells Local Cops to Watch out for Right Wing Extremists! - 4/13/9 Homeland Security says cops should watch for right wing extremism which the Washington Post says “may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single-issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration.” Obama’s Homeland Security Chieftess Janet Napolitano sent a 9-page report to cops around the nation to warn them about conservative Americans! If you are a pro-lifer, cops are supposed to watch out for YOU! Michelle Malkin has the document for you, just click here. This report is off the freaking deep end! UPDATE 4/16/9 ABCDEmocrat News says the report was issued “despite civil liberties concerns…n the report, right-wing extremism was defined as hate-motivated groups and movements, such as hatred of certain religions, racial or ethnic groups. “It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration,” the report said. “If there’s one part of that report I would rewrite, in the word-smithing, Washington-ese that goes on after the fact, it would be that footnote,” Napolitano said Thursday on Fox News.”

#234 Obama Official Causes Evacuations in New York!- 4/27/9 The Politco: “Moving to fend off outrage from New York officials, the White House military director apologized for flying Air Force One and an accompanying fighter jet low near Ground Zero as part of a photo shoot Monday. President Barack Obama was not aboard when the huge 747 Air Force jet buzzed across Lower Manhattan, prompting evacuations, 911 calls and frightful memories of the Sept. 11 attacks in 2001. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said he had not been informed of the flight and was “furious” over the incident.” UPDATE 4/29/9 Fox reports the “Stupid New York Flyover” cost $328,835! Team Obama blowing money during a recession so it has cool pictures to share. Obscene. That doesn’t even count the cost of the evacuations and panic the blunder caused. UPDATE 4/29/9 In a memo obtained by wcbstv.com-CBS 2 HD, the Federal Aviation Administration’s James Johnston said the agency was aware of “the possibility of public concern regarding DOD (Department of Defense) aircraft flying at low altitudes” in an around New York City. But they demanded total secrecy from the NYPD, the Secret Service, the FBI and even the mayor’s office and threatened federal sanctions if the secret got out.

Go to the site and read more about Obama and the Democrat scandals.

Be aware that we can not ignore what Obama is doing, it will have severe impacts on our own economy. Obama and Iggy are two peas in a pod when it comes to the economy, they both have no clue!

John Ivison: Canada starts to feel the bite of new U.S. protectionism

When Barack Obama came to Ottawa in February, Canadians lowered their defences and surrendered, seduced by the new President’s promises that the United States would stand by its international trade obligations and resist protectionism.

It was an object lesson in why politicians should be judged on results, not their intentions. The reality is that Canada and the United States are engaging in skirmishes that threaten to erupt into an all-out trade war.

Canada better brace itself, because Democrats are protectionists and Canada is in their scopes. All you lefties who support Obama better take another look at the policies coming down the pipeline because Obama is no more your friend than radical Islam supports gay people. The Democrats will do what they did when the Liberals were in power, slap tariffs on our products like lumber, and then take us to court because we are somehow the bad guys. The Liberals couldn't fight it because their supporters at the time were big business. Our only hope is the fact that the Conservatives are in power, and big business does not own them like they own the Liberals, case in point the MSM.

I want Albertans to remember that the oil sands are actually Alberta's sands, we can sell to who we want if the US imposes tariffs on our oil. Saskatchewan is at risk as well. Oil and fresh water, our big hammers against protectionism.

Wake up Canada, the Democrats are bad news for Canada. Don't take my word for it, read the 236 scandals, see what you think.

Is Western Canada The Land Of Galt?

I have read of the recent surge in the sales of "Atlas Shrugged", so I wonder where in North America would the entrepreneurs have the best chance of shrugging off the liberal shackles? Think about it. California? Ontario? Quebec? Where would you escape? Where do you want to raise your children to give them the best chance to excel? Where in North America would John Galt choose to relocate, and take all the talent with him?



Are you going to be here?

Organizers plan confronation for banned Brit MP (That would be confrontation)

TORONTO -- Organizers of the four-city speaking tour of British anti-war MP George Galloway are going to challenge the decision to bar him from Canada in court.

The organizers also say if that fails, they've already prepared plan B.

Organizers are to announce Monday they will file an emergency injunction in Ontario federal court on Tuesday seeking to overturn Citizenship and Immigration Canada's entry ban on the outspoken politician.

Should that fail, a delegation of Canadian MPs, lawyers and activists is assembling to escort Galloway from the U.S., where he is on tour, across the Canadian border.

Do you see yourself marching in support of a terrorist sympathizer? Right, me neither. It will be interesting to see which MP's attend. Then we have these guys:

Groups seek closer checks on police profiling

The Canadian Human Rights Commission and the Canadian Race Relations Foundation recommend in a joint statement that Canadian policing and security agencies record such characteristics as race, age and gender after they make such decisions as sending someone to a secondary search or pulling someone out of a line at a border crossing.

So, we have terrorist supporters good, profiling bad. Don't want any terrorist to get their feelings hurt now do we? Let's not forget the MP going to a gun club meeting, this is a very very bad thing, not like MP's supporting terrorists, that is a good thing!

Tories, stop being Liberals

Quit pap-spouting over shooting club's plan to raffle off a handgun and address the real issue

The fact opposition politicians and Toronto's left-leaning mayor, David Miller, along with the normally sensible Mayor Hazel McCallion of Mississauga, were given a golden opportunity to deflect public attention away from the very real problem of violent, urban, gun crime, and the failure of all levels of government to address it, was, for them, a huge bonus.

Even better, by their lights, they got to attack both Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Conservative MP Garry Breitkreuz, the latter probably the most knowledgable politician in Canada about the utter failure of the federal long gun and handgun registries to effectively combat violent, urban, street crime.

Those are just a few examples of how out of control the lefties have become. So, where can a person go to escape? Think Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and large areas of BC. Think rural Ontario, but unfortunately Ontario is where most of the protesters are, so even though most people living in Ontario are conservative minded, they get tarred with the lefty brush. Notice that cities are more prone to spawn lefties as are universities, they yell about "freedom of speech" but it means only freedom to speak if you agree with their point of view.

We call Alberta "God's Country", maybe it should be renamed to "Galt Country"! Many people will be looking to find a place to go to that is not just mouthing freedom, but lives it, and that is western Canada. It should not be "Who is John Galt", it should be "Where is John Galt".
