Alberta Ardvark: November 2013

http://thealbertaardvark.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html

Everyone has an opinion, but only some are right. Don't patronize or try to spin me, it won't end well. Friday, November 22, 2013. Alberta PC's hold their convention this weekend and why Premier Redford should be worried. I really haven't given it any thought. Redford said Wednesday after reporters asked her about the vote coming up at the Progressive Conservative party's annual general meeting in Red Deer. Budget numbers, illegal donations. The release, the Katz cheque, the petty partisan politics.

Nice Comfy Fur: The great cap-and-trade swindle

http://comfyfur.blogspot.com/2009/05/great-cap-and-trade-swindle.html

Saturday, May 16, 2009. The great cap-and-trade swindle. It was really only a matter of time before Kyoto morphed into an excuse for protectionism. The closer the United States gets to adopting a cap-and-trade system to control greenhouse gas emissions, the more frightening it gets. Barack Obama has his work cut out for him if he truly wants to avoid being called the Depression President. Toronto, Ontario, Canada. View my complete profile. Perseverance in the face of failure.

Nice Comfy Fur: One of the benefits of federalism...

http://comfyfur.blogspot.com/2010/05/one-of-benefits-of-federalism.html

Friday, May 07, 2010. One of the benefits of federalism. Is that it takes two levels of government to screw up to really tank the economy:. Consider the often-made comparison. Between Greece and the state of California. Both are in deep fiscal trouble, both have a history of fiscal irresponsibility. And the political deadlock in California is, if anything, worse — after all, despite the demonstrations, Greece’s Parliament has, in fact, approved harsh austerity measures. Toronto, Ontario, Canada. If the C...

Nice Comfy Fur: Making excuses for Somali pirates

http://comfyfur.blogspot.com/2009/04/making-excuses-for-somali-pirates.html

Saturday, April 18, 2009. Making excuses for Somali pirates. Johann Hari of the Huffington Post claims we are being lied to about pirates. Far from being despicable scallywags, they are to be admired for their democratic and egalitarian ways:. Similarly, the Somali pirates are but poor, honorable folk fighting against injustice:. The more crewmen they hold hostage, the more ransom they collect, the happier I feel seeing that the common peasant still wields a weapon over even the most powerful of governme...

Nice Comfy Fur: Democrats bad for Canada

http://comfyfur.blogspot.com/2008/02/democrats-bad-for-canada.html

Saturday, February 16, 2008. Democrats bad for Canada. The Canadian fascination with the U.S. Democratic party has always puzzled me. With three quarters of Canadian exports going south of the border, we have a vested interest in keeping the border open. Yet, both candidates in the Democratic primary have been bashing NAFTA. First, here is Barack Obama speaking of his opponent Hillary Clinton:. Her supporting NAFTA didn't give jobs to the American people.". Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Feeling guilty about ...

Nice Comfy Fur: Perseverance in the face of failure

http://comfyfur.blogspot.com/2009/05/perseverance-in-face-of-failure.html

Tuesday, May 19, 2009. Perseverance in the face of failure. After thirty some years of toiling in relative obscurity, Canadian heavy metal band Anvil appears to be finally on a roll following the release of the documentary Anvil! The Story Of Anvil. At the Sundance Film Festival last year the film received a rapturous welcome. Michael Moore. Even the New Yorker's normally hard to please Anthony Lane found it the "most stirring release of the year". So much for Anvil! When they did the Anvil Experience in...

Nice Comfy Fur: Barack Obama: The Depression President?

http://comfyfur.blogspot.com/2009/01/barack-obama-depression-president.html

Saturday, January 31, 2009. Barack Obama: The Depression President? That U.S. public works projects funded by the stimulus package will be required to use only U.S.-made iron and steel was not entirely unpredictable. On issues of trade, the Democrats are bad for Canada. And by extension global trade. If Barack Obama lets this stand he risks becoming known as the Depression President. In the Great Depression. And to make matters worse, Congress is not content to stop there. Senators are working on an expa...
