It is funny how you can take the truth, add some visual and technical props, creatively spin it and still come out with the truth.

hughjazz

How do you know it's the truth?


How long have you lived here?

My favorite part of the vid was when she said " I love Pot!!"

Anyway we just finished re-electing a conservative government.
Most people in the western part of this country do NOT vote liberal.

Its actually in fact the center of the universe (greater toronto area) that ends up electing the libs.

It took me my first 18 years to get OUT of Canada (from Alberta to Texas)...why would I ever want to move back?

Nice place to look at / visit on occasion...but some of the liberal peeps I meet get under my skin really quick.

I find that most of the people I know in alberta are more like mickeyco than not. The east part of the country is pretty uh,,, well,,, they think it's ok for (fruits to merge) if you know what I mean.. The country is REALLY POLARIZED Fortunatly I'm on the side of the good guys....



also fyi.. this province is growing like a weed now.

Calgary 1'000 000 people
edmonton 1'000 000
red deer close to 100 000

it's oil country. We are not all losers here. We drive trucks, eat beef, like our freedoms, etc.

mckellarman

Hugh...sounds like you are defending being Canadian ?!? Not trying to pick a fight just wondering. I agree with you on a percentage of people that live out here, alot of liberal BS but believe it or not they are the minority out here. I have spent some time and worked in Calgary..love it and loved the pace. I just wish we could slow down a bit here in Ontario long enough to take some time to celebrate BEING CANADIAN.

hughjazz

I feel like we (alberta) have more in common with texas than central canada. There was so many years of teflon jean in power I grew to despise the voters in the gta. I couldn't understand, I still can't understand how we could have so many years of a slimy, shifty, sleazy career liberal socialist running the country. He is a crook, Ontario and quebec gave him 3 consecutive majority governments. not to mention the whole trudeau thing. I can't believe it. I have a hard time respecting the intelligence of a group of people who vote this way. If you are not with that group cool. If you vote/voted that way,,,,, well you know how I stand. After the last 15 years I am Alberta first, Canada second. Yeah I said it. I would support alberta/bc seperation. We'd save billions on transfer payments too. Plus we'd always be represented by gov't.

Chrétien's term was marked by two major brushes with scandal. In 2000, after initial denials, he acknowledged having lobbied the Business Development Bank of Canada to grant a $2 million loan to Yvon Duhaime, a friend and constituent to whom the Prime Minister had sold his interest in a local resort. The bank had turned down the initial application, but later approved a $615,000 loan following further lobbying by Chrétien. The application became controversial when it was revealed that Chrétien had never been paid for his share in the sale of the adjoining golf course, and by criminal charges against Duhaime. The Prime Minister's ethics counsellor determined that Chrétien had not violated any conflict-of-interest rules, noting that there were no clear guidelines on such matters.
The other major controversy of the Chrétien years was the sponsorship scandal. The lingering repercussions of the scandal reduced the Liberal Party to a minority in 2004, and contributed to the government's defeat in 2006.
Chrétien came under fire for backtracking on some of his promises, most notably the GST. Instead of scrapping it, he replaced it with the Harmonized Sales Tax in three Atlantic provinces. However, Chrétien claimed that the fiscal situation was far worse than expected. Despite slipping poll numbers, he advised the Governor General to call an election for 1997, a year ahead of schedule. Many of his own MPs criticized him for this move, especially in light of the devastating Red River Flood. He was reelected with a considerably reduced mandate. However, they still finished with 95 more seats than the next-largest party. The Liberals rebounded in 2000, nearly tying their 1993 total.
Throughout his prime-ministership, Chrétien faced only weak opposition in the House of Commons. This was partly because he governed with majorities for the whole time, and with quite large ones for most of it; and partly because of the peculiar state of the opposition parties. During his first parliament, the Official Opposition was the Bloc Québécois, which was more concerned with gaining sovereignty for Quebec than with playing the customary role of a parliamentary opposition. That role was to some extent taken on by Reform, which had become the leading right-wing party, and which held only marginally fewer seats than the Bloc. The Bloc faded somewhat in the 1997 election, while the Reform Party gained and so took over as Official Opposition for next parliament. Reform, though, began as a Western protest party, and never altogether lost that character. Moreover, Reform was seen as too extreme by most Canadians, especially those east of Manitoba, where the party never had much success. Even after Reform renewed itself as the Canadian Alliance, in 2000, it gained only slightly on Chrétien. The other two parties in the House of Commons, the left-wing New Democratic Party and the formerly powerful, centre-right Progressive Conservatives, held only a few seats each, and their parliamentary effect was accordingly slight. While the Canadian Alliance and Progressive Conservatives eventually merged in 2003, it was around the same time that Chrétien quit politics.
In 1996, Chrétien was confronted by a protester, Bill Clennett, during a walkabout in Hull, Quebec. The prime minister responded with a choke-hold. The press referred to it as the "Shawinigan Handshake" (from the name of his home town)[4].
Chrétien was involved in a controversy again in November, 1997, when the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit was held on the University of British Columbia campus in Vancouver. The APEC summit was a summit of many Asian and Pacific countries, and students on UBC's campus protested the meeting of some of these leaders because of their poor human rights practices. One of the leaders most criticized was then Indonesian President Suharto. Demonstrators tore down a barrier and were pepper-sprayed by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). Other peaceful demonstrators were subsequently pepper-sprayed as well. There was debate over whether the action was necessary. Chrétien responded to the media's questions about the incident at a press conference. He was asked about the pepper spraying by a Vancouver-based comedic reporter known as "Nardwuar the Human Serviette", a frequent contributor to Canada's MuchMusic network, known for his high pitched voice and odd attire, who told Chrétien that there was a song released by a punk rock band called "The Nomads" (a fictitious band Nardwuar had made up) called "The Suharto Stomp."[5] Nardwuar then asked Chrétien "Do you think, if you were say 40-years younger, that you too would be writing punk songs about Suharto and protesting against APEC?" Chrétien replied that he himself had protested as a student, and that in a democracy, protests were to be expected. Nardwuar followed up by telling the Prime Minister that "Some of the protesters were maced." Chrétien asked "what do you mean by that?" Nardwuar then clarified "Mace? Pepper Spray?" Chrétien then stated abrubtly "I don't know, these techniques did not exist in those days," which received big laughs from everyone in the room. Nardwuar simply smiled at Chrétien's joke, and the Prime Minister concluded his answer by adding "For me, pepper, I put it on my plate," with a smile while pantomiming shaking pepper onto a plate. This line also received laughter. However, allegations soon arose that someone in the Prime Minister's Office or Chrétien himself gave the go-ahead for the pepper spraying of protestors. Chrétien denied any involvement, and it has never been proven

Hey Hugh

I knew a welder in Red Deer who always commented that the US / Canada border ran in the wrong direction. He said it should have been placed north - south starting between Manitoba and Ontario.

I grew up with the same frustration against the east. It was the same old "peeps out east making rules that no one in Alberta understood or liked". I learned all my conservatism beliefs from the hard working, stand up types in the central Alta area (mostly farmers). Then when I went to college in TX, I also learned that the Americans believed that they have basic innate rights that are above any government or man. What a concept. Texans were Albertans, just more free...and fully armed.

When I left Red Deer it was at 50,000. I lived in Calgary for a couple of years when Ralph Klien was the mayor. 600,000 peeps.

Since living in mild climates....I know for a fact, that Alberta, in winter, will be a place that I shall only visit on-line or in my memories.

Minus 40 would kill me.

Well I posted the video because I thought it was pretty funny. Looks like a couple just get offended easily.

Really found interesting though some of the comments by Canadians.
I am Canadian myself but lived in the UK since being a kid, learned my trade here etc. Moving back to be closer to my family. Last one left here and Moms not getting younger. Still scared though and a little unsure about if I truly am making the right decision.

Anyway just to clarify, posted for fun not trying to bash the USA.

hughjazz

I couldn't agree more about the border thing.


Ralph klein actually became the premier of the province. Everybody calls him King Ralph. He was great. very high approval ratings.


Last winter I was framing in -25C (-13 F) for about 3 weeks straight.
my family and I went to orlando for 2 weeks and MAN the change was almost unbelievable. It was like 85F for the first week I was wondering what the hell I was doing when I drove back to the airport.
