AB ND Gov; 4 months in

[fjlip]

I think Greece started democracy that way a few thousand years ago...agree NO F*CKING PARTIES! You get to go to parliament just like jury duty, your name comes up. And all is for the good of society NOT you, or buddies or BIG $$$! Dream on...

Fj: this last game was particularly painful. I don't know enough to confidently make this statement but coaching probably lost this game.

[fjlip]

Listening to 650 the callers are demanding coach be fired. Even the commentators say pulling Smith was a stupid move.

[riders2010]

Management needs to take some responsibility as well. You have a coach that has made decisions that likely cost you 4 games minimum that you should have won?
But this was or should be the last straw. That quarterback was one some that were giving it 110
Also should have challenged a couple plays.

tom and what was a Conservative Govt. going to do with the big mess anyway?

you leave the province broke.
( when they could have had un tolled billions in the bank)

now with oil crashing .
just like sask where divine dug a big hole. the ndp had to fill it in with lean years, and high taxes,

then budgets are balanced. debt is under control.
then wall gets in just in time for the resource boom.

and yes Oliver , listening to Gormley is proven to lower your IQ.

oliver while i will admit Wall has not been that bad, would you like to list what legislation Wall brought in that was responsible for the Sask. resource boom.

there was none the boom was coming anyway .

it had nothing to do with the attitude
of the Govt. (Gormley's line)
it had yo do with the price of oil potash and grains.
( and if not for the Ndp , the province would not have potash royalties at all)

it is really too bad the NDP won in alberta. the Con.s should have wore the mess another 4years.

oil will pretend to get along at first. ( you don't want to diss the will of the people) at least publicly.

but soon oil will blame the NDP gov. for everything ( cancelled projects) they were not going to do anyways .

then it is a slam dunk to get the
puppet conservatives back in next election.

it really could not have worked out better for big oil .

the perfect storm.

The Ndp will end up wearing all the damage from the 3-4 year oil slump.

and alberta and it's people will
forever be big oils bitch.

no big Norway type royalties there.

Sawfly,

Most of our PC Alberta Directors locally gave up over 5yrs ago... and worked on getting a Wildrose MLA to represent us here. The guy who was my campaign manager 4yrs ago...and helped in my Nomination run for Wildrose (I lost)... is now our MLA. A great guy with a wonderful family. We are very blessed in BattleRiver Wainwright!!!

Cheers!

[perfecho]

Sooooo....., sounds like you have to be Wildrose to be a good guy and have a wonderful family...?????

[TOM4CWB]

I didn't say that you HAD to be Wildrose... but our Wildrose MLA Wes Taylor; IS a great guy and has a wonderful family... which is a nice bonus in the political world!

[foragefarmer]

No, you just have to be Tom4cwb's friend to be wonderful, but being a Wildrose member will move you up to that status a lot quicker.

Isn't Alberta being run by the NDP now? I wonder what category they fall under in Tom's ratings system!!

[perfecho]

Just digging, Tom....
