I wonder what those that say we’re tapped out and there’s no more gas have to say about this.
Energy giant Shell Canada Ltd. announced what it called a major natural gas discovery in central Alberta today.
Every time we hear that we’re out of resources, or the price goes up, we hear the end is near. Clearly, as we get more innovative and price incentives (market forces) work, it becomes obvious that the chicken littles are trying to scare us back into our homes and consume nothing.
Upfront: I like the 407 – and I am glad the government is not involved at all with it. Their harassment of the company that legally bought it is totally wrong. Remember the 407’s customer service center was setup by the government – and was quickly found out to be totally inadequate. Being state of the art, there were some billing problems, some big ones. All mine were resolved quickly and efficiently. Currently, they are expanding the customer service center to what it should have been.
That said, the government inquiries into the consortium’s dealings is nothing but political posturing. Can you imagine if government customer service was held to the same standards? It is to laugh.
The bottom line is this: The sale of the 407 was a bad deal signed by the previous government, but there’s nothing the Liberals can do now. They should cut their losses, instead of throwing good money after bad in a long legal process.
This should keep the casualty count down in Iraq.
Now Foster-Miller’s TALON robots are being adapted for a new purpose—to serve as a weapons-firing robot army that can be on the move night and day
Boy, minority governments sure are interesting. This story would never have happened in the old majority days.
A group of Liberal backbenchers has the Martin minority government on tenterhooks over their plans to vote this week to scrap the controversial $1-billion gun registry.
Saw this site on the news tonight. It’s amusing, if nothing else.
For $24.95 you get a complete disguise. A t-shirt with the Canadian flag and the saying “O Canada! (National Anthem), a patch for your luggage or backpack, a window sticker and a lapel pin. Plus – Free Report – How to Speak Canadian, Eh?!
Now when someone asks you about American politics, you can say, “I’m on vacation, I don’t want to talk aboot it.”
Surprising to see a letter like this in the red Star.
I am frankly sick of shopping at the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) and sick of the fact that it is a monopoly and that we have no choice in this province or frankly, for that matter, anywhere in this country.
There really is no good reason to control alcohol in government stores – and pay government wages.
Bob MacDonald knows a real leader when he sees one…especially when contrasted against one who isn’t.
What a contrast: The decisive, blunt-spoken and even humorous George W. Bush and the dithering, sweating, nervously laughing Paul Martin.
I find it amazing (and pleasing) that a couple of radio stations suspended programming to carry Bush’s speech.
I found it equally interesting that it takes a US President to bring up relevant Canadian PM history. GWB sure has great speech writers.
Your Prime Minister, McKenzie King, gave this answer: “We cannot defend our country and save our homes and families by waiting for the enemy to attack us. To remain on the defensive is the surest way to bring the war to Canada. Of course, we should protect our coasts and strengthen our ports and cities against attack,” but the Prime Minister went on to say, “we must also go out and meet the enemy before he reaches our shores. We must defeat him before he attacks us, before our cities are laid to waste.” McKenzie King was correct then, and we must always remember the wisdom of his words today.
Overall, the visit went over quite well.
