Way To Go...

...Dippers:

Shelves bare at several Alberta food banks as usage increases

More than 3,000 new clients each month!!!

Why...

...am I seeing numerous election ads on the Net talking up Stephen Harper and the Cons, and virtually none from the Libs and Dippers? Are they resigned to the fact that they are going to lose, or are they just not net savvy? Either way...

Unlike...

...some people, ("Canada’s support for Israel leading to its isolation, Iran warns

Tehran slams Ottawa’s ‘radical stances’ on Jewish state")

Canada stands tall and does the right thing.

I smell and election coming:

Tories launch anti-Mulcair attack ads on eve of federal election call

 Conservative Staffers Will Vet Every Single Canadian That Stephen Harper Meets During The Election

You can make a lot of enemies when you do the right thing.

And So It Begins

Well, That Didn't Take Long

Alberta environment minister faces questions over work on protest book

NDP will double carbon levy by 2017: By 2017, the Alberta government will require large emitters to reduce greenhouse gases by 20 per cent

Alberta legislature begins session under NDP, and everyone is watching the money

Wildrose brings the FUNK in attack on environment minister’s past

"If all goes according to plan, Alberta’s first legislative sitting under an NDP government will wrap up Thursday afternoon.

We will have survived.

The government didn’t nationalize the oilsands or add the hammer and sickle to the province’s coat or arms. MLAs didn’t sing Solidarity Forever at the start of each day and the Alberta Legislature didn’t tilt so far left that it slid into the North Saskatchewan River."

It may be a case of saving the best for last.

Never Saw This Coming

Alberta passes bill banning corporate and union donations

"Corporate" I can understand. After all, they are Dippers. But Union donations???? Unions have to be their biggest funders, bar none. I think I just saw more pigs flying.
"Getting union and corporate donations out of politics is good for democracy, it’s good for Alberta. The NDP even accepted one of our amendments, which shows some progress,” said Jean. “But there is still a horrendous loophole in this legislation; unions can actually pay their employees to volunteer for a political party. We don’t think that’s right.”"
[---]
"Alberta’s NDP has traditionally gained about 10 per cent of its funding from unions, while the PCs have relied heavily on corporate donations."

My guess is, Notley and crew didn't want egg or their faces. Can't make it too obvious, you know.
