Corrupt to the very core these bunglers (compare Alberta oil revenues to that of Norway and that will be clear to even the most rabid Prentice supporter) are about as corrupt as any banana republic. The big oil shills have done serious damage to this province. Environmentally the conservatives were still in the stone age. CO2 was not as high on my list of concerns as the poisons that are dumped into the rivers and injected into the ground water. It is much much worse that reported. I worked oil rigs and so did my father and we have seen it all with very little change from the 1940s till now. The royalties have been systematically pilfered and now are a bad joke leaving us with nothing but a fiscal mess. <br /><br />Now Prentice and his cronies are on the run thanks to their own greed. Now we can begin the long and difficult task of auditing this nightmare the P.C. party have left us. No free rides for the tough on crime P.C.'s do the crime do the time.

"Ontarians have long memories!" they yell. <br /><br />Well, no, no we don't, elsewise we'd remember that the NDP inherited a massive deficit from the outgoing Liberals during one of the worst recessions in provincial history. No party would have done well, but people voted in the NDP out of pure hope. <br /><br />Like British Columbians, I have no idea how we survived that great NDP apocalypse, but I'm sure cannibalism factored in somewhere.

No way Jose eh . So now I am waiting count down two days until the Alberta election. I ain't put I pray the polls are correct and the PC's get thrown out of office in Alberta.

Now the people of Alberta are being told they have to suffer cut-backs and tax increases, and there's no fund of oil money like there was supposed to be.thwaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399550285738440669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-59696437166166938182015-05-03T07:39:45.695-04:002015-05-03T07:39:45.695-04:00The fear mongering is back firing!

Their threats are beneath contempt and shows the parasitic fear-mongering tendencies they share with the Cons. Their greed is insatiable and now their biggest fear is not having a Con Klown like Prentice to tell what to do. Well, as blowhard MP Larry Miller once said, if you don't like it, leave. <br />JDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-43517603932562833742015-05-03T05:34:15.358-04:002015-05-03T05:34:15.358-04:00In BC, people are warned about the bad old 1990...In BC, people are warned about the bad old 1990's when the BC NDP was Government.

Just think a government who might be interested in health care, education, children instead of foreign oil companies. Interests of people first, interests of oil companies second. my god, what a concept. how revolutionary. A balanced budget! e.a.f.noreply@blogger.com
