Alberta: Dangerfield of Canada?

A new CBC poll has revealed that 60% of Albertans believe they don't get enough respect from the rest of Canada and feel jilted because Canadians think they don't have to work for their riches. Well, I'm no Alberta hater, but the history of the development of the oil industry in Alberta speaks for itself. I actually saw a show about it once, a long time ago. There was this Jed guy, who was hunting jack rabbits, and accidentally blasted a hole in his backyard with his shot gun. All of a sudden, this black geyser shot up out of the ground, and next thing you know, he was moving into a stylin' mansion with his kin folk.

Now, that really isn't working is it? Not everyone can go around shooting at cute little animals, and end up becoming a multi-millionaire. In Ontario, Jed would have been tackled to the ground, beaten with his shot gun, robbed and then thrown in the slammer only to be ass-raped by gang members. Out there, they give him pay cheques for life and his own company.
Now I ask you: Is that fair?

But would YOU want to live in Alberta, K? I mean, it's ALBERTA.I think I'd rather be thrown in the slammer with gang-bangers.

AGH! Too close to the bone there, K Dough.

Thinking you deserve the blessings of the earth makes it much easier to justify keeping it from others.

In Albertan, we ROCer's lack the moral worth or "enterpeneurial spirit" to justify claims for increased transfer payments.

mmmm, Toronto Smog. That's some good shit - if we could bottle it and decriminalize it, there's a fortune to be had.

Just Society- there are forces at work amongst us to awaken the same entitlement mindset in Ontario. Up until recently, we've been ignorant of the fact that our charity has been taken for granted by others. Why do all the rich beautiful people in AB and ON have to be envied by the ugly poor people of Canada? We have problems too!

Squid: do you own a shot gun and/or a backyard? If so, I have a little business proposition for you! We can talk about it over a jug of K-Dough's barrelwash and some of baba's pickled pigs feet!

Chucker: Not only are we shipping our garbage out- we are sending it to the US! The rest of Canada should be thanking us, after putting up with so many years of Oprah, boy bands, rap, horrible sit-coms etc... they've shipped up here.

K-Dough,
I never let the revenoorer man know what I have. Those fuckers are too lazy to make a living so they try to take what belongs to you and me.It worked, too, when the Libs were getting their share. Probably less so now that the CPC haven't yet established an entitlement to their entitlements....they'll bring that down in the budget, you know,so much for the Party, this much less for the citizen. Hey, isn't that what the Accountability Act is all about? Them telling us how much they are going to steal from us and how much we, the taxpayers, are accountable for?

My sex life involves torture, but I'm not using it as a strategic tactic in my campaign to become a public school library board advisory person. In fact no one knows about it. And they never will. No one ever reads blogs so I can say it here with impunity. I'm not stupid or anything.

pam is wise. I'm playing with fire here. but it is amazing that these unread blogs and their even less significant comment threads could whip a potential PM into a frenzy.

K-Dough: I'd like my library advisory board to have a torture-fettishist. In my local library, Marquis de Sade books are always out. Someone has to "blockbuster" the de Sade section of Canada's libraries.

If I win, they are talking about giving me lock up priviledges. If that happens, there will definitely be some after hours librarian-pupil fetish parties at my local branch. All involviong consenting, drunken adults mind you...

I wanna be the naughty, disruptive school boy who gets threatened with the yard stick by the stern, smartly dressed, bespectacled librarian, whose blouse is accidentally peeking open just enough to catch the distinct outline of a perfectly taut breast and catches me staring, and much to my surprise is not angered, but rather smiles a wide devilish grin, licks her lips and looks down at my...

That's ok Harding- In the day of modern fabric and gas powered laundry dryers, who needs irons anyway?

talking about iron deficiencies - I went to a metal refinery in Sorel, Quebec. They make iron powder. Two main uses for iron powder, the second being in the food industry.

I'm looking around at this industrial gulag, belching shit out of smokestacks, mud and grime everywhere - thinking, I will never eat an "enriched with iron" product ever again.

And I thought iron grew on trees.
