Lets remember the West also includes BC, Saskatchewan, and Alberta which are not exactly bastions of conservatism. In fact being born in BC, most of my family living in Alberta, and now living in Ontario, I've found BC has far more in common politically with Ontario than it does with Alberta. <br /><br />Besides I wish the right was stop always spreading this fearmongering about the Liberals being out to get the West. You guys screamed bloody murder when the Liberals were doing the same fearmongering about the Tories in Ontario, yet now you guys think it is okay.<br /><br />Finally the environment is a serious issue that even most Albertans understand. Only Ted Morton was against doing anything about the environment; both Jim Dinning and Ed Stelmach want to see GHG reductions.Monkey Loves to Fighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05122291567543761919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859678.post-44082007792681602332007-01-13T12:17:00.000-05:002007-01-13T12:17:00.000-05:00Unfortunately I missed this event, as I had a clas...Unfortunately I missed this event, as I had a class at the time of his little address, but some of my friends were there and said that after hearing and speaking with Dion he just wasn't as intelligent or charismatic as the CBC and other media outlets have been portraying him.WEDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00897749565496304270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859678.post-27372318645021201132007-01-12T17:23:00.000-05:002007-01-12T17:23:00.000-05:00Hopefully Albertans have long memories and reward ...Hopefully Albertans have long memories and reward Dion appropriately next election.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859678.post-3431987957418417752007-01-12T11:22:00.000-05:002007-01-12T11:22:00.000-05:00The notion of the west as milk cow is an old one a...The notion of the west as milk cow is an old one and pre-dates even the NEP. I remember seeing a cartoon drawn in the thirties(?) of a (giant) cow eating the rich hay of western Canada with the other end being milked in Ontario and Quebec. Sucking the west dry is an old Canadian tradition worthy of a Historica Canada heritage minute narrated by Patrick Watson.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
