If “hubby” is driving drunk and using “dope” Helena’s marriage is on the rocks no matter what happens in court.  I feel for her but common sense overrules “feelings”.

The lady has a lot on her plate and my advice to her is to “dispense” with him.

She will have one “bad year” and then a whole lot of good years as she moves on.   So I would advise either of my daughters in the same situation.

She is young and beautiful and she can end this situation tomorrow because she is Canadian.  She can also find a man that truly appreciates her and considers her an equal unlike the “slug” she is married to now.

You can take that to the bank.

Don’t panic.  It will become available later in the evening.

True enough.  I can’t believe Alberta Tories took a fantastically rich province in two short years into near bankruptcy.  Destroyed it all because “red tories” chose a leader much like Joe Clark.

“Ed” should resign immediately but like Clark he won’t and that leaves one option.

He must be fired.

Much appreciated.

A) Is there Global warming, YES or NO ?

B) If there is Climate change, more than the fact that climate has never been static over aeons, YES or NO ?

C) If yes to the above A or B, are we accelerating the process because of human activity, YES or NO ?

D) If yes to C, are we sure about the cause i.e. CO2 being an important factor or the most important factor to focus on, YES or NO ?

E) If yes to D, are the measures proposed like carbon trading going to reduce the level of carbon in the atmosphere YES or NO ?

F) If no to E, what should we be doing to actually have an effect on CO2 levels, not a yes or no question.

G) If D is no, then CO2 is not the main or only cause of ” Global Warming/Climate Change, then more research is needed to find the real cause or causes.

H) if the cause is out of our control being neither CO2 or anything else we can change or is caused by natural cycles then the question(s) become how best to adapt to changes i.e. survive !

I ) If Global warming is real are the disastrous effects predicted accurate or alarmist, YES or NO ?

J) Is Global Warming much less of a catastrophe than a possible Ice Age it might have more up side than the warmists are predicting, YES or NO ?

K) Back to A and the whole thing is a fraud or at the very least the science is just too uncertain at this time to have any predictive value on which to base the destruction of our economies, YES or NO ?

Finally I’m sure that a lot of other questions could be asked and the above decision tree is just suggestion about all the answers that we don’t have at the moment to make intelligent and non-emotional decisions.

Murdered officer had only 6 months service and serving in an isolated detachment. Hopefully this (incident and a few others) have forced a policy change. For starters a minimum 5 yrs service before getting sent to isolated postings? In any event, incidents like this I am sure prompt every serving or retired police (especially RCMP) officer to recall this saying, “there, but for the grace of God, go I”.

“Predictability”, that’s a sacred word to investors and thus the key driver to the creation of jobs. Stelmach is no different than Obama; he cannot connect the dots between predictability, investment, company growth and job creation.

“Report after report showed Alberta had dropped from one of the most competitive Canadian jurisdictions for energy investment to one of the worst.”

Added to this mix is the deplorable MSM coverage of that 20% Chavez-like theft. At the time this happened Diane Francis who bills herself as a business journalist verbally assaulted Ezra Levant by calling him just another redneck from the West because Ezra had appropriately called this what it was … theft. In one stroke Stelmach repudiated Alberta’s valuable contractual commercial reputation. He cavalierly tossed it away after decades of building trust between oil investors and the Alberta government. The red Tories are done, Wildrose is in, Ontario listen up and learn how change can happen.
