But what really bothers me is when people like Hunsperger direct their criticism at programs intended to protect children from being bullied. For I consider that totally unacceptable. And I must say, since I was raised a Christian, I can't remember Jesus going around spouting hated against gay people. In fact I'm pretty sure he never said a word about that, and only asked people to love one another. Or am I reading another Bible?<br />As for the people of Alberta, I hope they realize that Smith is just a complete puppet of Big Oil, and that she doesn't really care about them and will only help Big Business turn Alberta into a low-wage province, just like the Harper Cons are doing to the rest of the country. But it looks like the WR is going to win the election so they will find out, the hard way, sooner rather than later...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-73318324007263341832012-04-21T04:33:46.556-04:002012-04-21T04:33:46.556-04:00hi sunsin...that's an interesting thought.

But somehow over the years the one's in Alberta seem to be the loudest bigots in the land. I actually think the oil industry may help change that by attracting young workers from all over Canada. But Alberta has always had a special relationship with the U.S. and is bound to be affected by what's happening in that country. And what's happening there is madness...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-1798481873836427762012-04-21T04:27:18.037-04:002012-04-21T04:27:18.037-04:00hi anonymous...I share your dismay.

First of all, is their views on gays are not discrimatory in any way. The option that the pc party would like to see is that priests who object to, and believe they are aiding a sin, would be FORCED to marry a gay couple (who could also walk down the street to find a ordained minister to marry them, but act like that is just such an inconvinience that they no longer want to get married or something). The same goes for doctors who oppose abortion, they would also be FORCED to perform a abortion and rip the baby out of the mother. The are protecting peoples moral and religious views. It may be the fact that it is a catholic issue, because I do not believe that they would force a muslim person to ignore their beliefs. It also seems as if you have never listened to any of the debates, and only have interest in the articles that put the wr in a negative light. If you lived here in Alberta you would very quickly realise how much the rest of Canada piggybacks off of Alberta resources and finances. The people who work hard on the oilpatch (Which I dont but I do understand where they are coming from) absolutely despise the fact that they are being underpaid (and anybody who says they arent has never done a shift at the mac) to put some grown adults through school.Mr Dhttp://www.gmail.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-11780727212008906102012-04-20T07:52:55.234-04:002012-04-20T07:52:55.234-04:00Oil is very delusive.

Thus the people who extract it fall into the delusion of thinking that ALL hard work is well compensated, and that if someone is poor, it means merely that they are lazy.

Sometimes that mixes with pseudo-Christian silliness.<br /><br />It's pretty clear that in the capitalist-driven USA, there's been deliberate cultivation of Christian-based insanity by the moneyed classes. Perhaps something similar is at work in Alberta?thwaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399550285738440669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-88020897143339753592012-04-17T22:11:40.355-04:002012-04-17T22:11:40.355-04:00Oh dear god.

The implication being it's the same all across the country. It's not of course.
