"In Manitoba, our socialist leaning Premier, Selinger, is doing his best to bankrupt
us."
What more would you have me say?
Our NDP government is spending like a drunk and raising taxes on a regular
basis and telling us they are doing it all for us.

Harper is public enemy no. 1 south of the border among environmentalists.

Personally, I think a lot of Americas troubles are due to having nearly
all lawyers running the government. We ought to put a limit on the number
of lawyers running things in Washington and go back to our early beginnings
where duels were still a way of settling disagreements; mainly because
there were not as many lawyers.
Consider Rob Ford, your most famous and effective politician, Randy.
Would he be as effective if he were a lawyer? Fortunately for Toronto he
didn't go to law school. It wouldn't surprise me to see him become prime
minister some day. [:o)

Well, I am not a very typical lawyer when it comes right down to it.
I guess I am getting old, but I cannot help but think that things were
better in the past and in Canada, at least, there were more lawyers in
government in the past than there are now.
Today we seem to be willing to elect or appoint media people just because
they have become familiar faces. Not a good thing in my book. Look up
Patrick Duffy and Pamela Wallen for example, or check out a couple of our
recent Governor Generals who thought they had been appointed Queen. Ugh!
I don't know what to say about Rob Ford. he is an obvious embarrassment to
us all. Those of us who do not live in Toronto think to some extent that
Toronto deserves him. What more can I say?
God help us if he becomes PM.
I guess I have to say the same about Trudeau JR. What an oddball. Probably
a nice enough fellow but there does not appear to be the depth that should
be there.
Many do not like our current PM but I think Harper is a good fellow and
doing fine in a tough and thankless job.
Lots of interesting folks at the provincial level too. In Manitoba, our
socialist leaning Premier, Selinger, is doing his best to bankrupt us.
In Alberta, the Premier just resigned because she pi**ed off her own party.
I think similar just happened in NFLD.
Ontario has some oddball woman who is doing her best to make matters worse
than they already are.
Quebec has Marois who wants to abolish anything English and the word
"Canada" but wants us to keep sending the cash etc.
Saskatchewan, which used to be considered something of a hole between
Ontario and BC is now booming and doing very well. Low taxes, lots of jobs
etc. Who knew that would ever happen???
It has become a strange world.
