Right from the start I thought he was the guy .....who .....made the most
Sense in regards to firearms , taxes, gender related insanities . As you say
another Frenchmen , but I don't think in this atmosphere an English politician
Could knock pretty boy off . Harper did get 5 seats in PQ to win but even the frogs
had had enough of spend and tax .
I doubt O'Leary could get elected dog catcher in Westmount today .
Plus the conservative ethic is an absolute shithole in western Canada .
I think Max is the man .

Yes the wife and I are leaning towards Maxine as well. I still haven't gotten a reply back from O'Leary on his stance on gun control yet. Maybe he doesn't care. He'll find out people out here do !!

Maxine has some good policy damn good.

I hope the moron fruit fly geneticist Suzuki has the cajones to read it and pay attention. Obviously with the article being contrary to his spouted bullshit, he would have a huge pill to swallow!! I guess that contrary to his statements, the science is not settled. We can only hope that the provincial & federal powers that be take heed as well, as unlikely as it might be.

I certainly do not condone this kind of thing , no public servant
Should have take this ,in fact no one should .
BUT .....there are certain realities today . The Internet has its
failings , also if you are a public figure you have to toughen
Up. Several polls and surveys have demonstrated that up to
80% of Canadians are racists .

I apparently am one of them ! Let me just say if Federalism
can be perceived as a race than I gladly wear that mantel .

You see why it's too late in this country like all of Europe to combat
This cancerous plague . Muslims are here to stay and Islam is a reality .
And Islam is Jihad .
Depending on who you believe these are truths . Isis will behead you
For being a bad Muslim . In Canada we send you to a prison with a golf course .

Somehow this last story makes you a bad person if you don't recognise Islam
as a Canadian institution .
Liberals and bad media will make this country unlivable .

If this was to become law how safe would you feel in this country.You could not breath a word regarding Islamic anything, but I bet they could do what they want. Like you said W101 Europe is pretty much an Islam state now and the people have lost control of their counties. Most Canadian's will do nothing, but wake up one day wondering where their county went.

It has never been more important to promote the idea of
the sovereign republic of Alberta . Take a page out of the
Indian handbook , a separate nation ...work on the age old
premise bullshit baffles brains . As a right wing nation ,we are
Adamant about no vetted immigration , there is not enough jobs for
Albertans with history here . Immigrant means a drain on our
Social systems I know this sounds very stern and harsh .
if you have a better term let's hear it . We have to eliminate
the Liberal -Socialist propaganda being spread here in this province .
Our pussy footing politicians have to be tuned up ...we need a little
Trumpism . If we don't act , the average tax paying Canadian
will be immigrating in droves to the NW USA . The Americans are
Taking steps in securing their land down there .
In the next provincial election I will be voting for this party .

I think your getting pretty harsh there W101, personely I could care less what colour or religion anyone is they are welcome. It's those that come with the expectation of special treatment that annoy me and the politicians that are falling over themselves to give them special treatment in order to buy votes. Our country was built by immigrants to say we shut the door now makes no sense. Yes we need better screening policies and this open door thing has to be tightened up but not shut. The same laws in this country that allow us (me ) to be a white Christian allows others to be what ever religion they so choose and they should be protected. Not given special room but protected indeed. What your saying is touching on white supremacy W101. This site is an open site and we invite all to join in but not to spread any form of hate or ignorance, you're touching on that border.

Your right it was a little harsh , I didn't mean it quite that way ....I fixed it .
Thanks for your concern .
I still think we should close our borders , cut that giant anchor that is eastern
Canada loose . Keep more of our cash . That's all

No issues W101. We all get frustrated with the way things are hopefully come the next two elections, provincial and federal we can get some issues straightened out.

Walleyes · « **Reply #313 on:** February 23, 2017, 04:50:39 PM »

No it's a pretty well written article w101, they pretty much nailed it on the head. Although activity is up it is not near what it was and in all honesty I don't think we will ever see that again. Not unless oil hits $100/bbl over night. The article is right we are getting very efficient at drilling wells these days. Wells that only 5 years ago were taking 20-30 days we now drill in 10 -14. They mention robotics and yes that has some effect but not on the efficiency nor man power. We are still running the same amount of men on the rigs they just do a slightly different role. We still need the men to operate those tools. Robotics comes in on our moves. We drill a lot of big pads these days, anywheres from 5 - 10 holes on a pad. Once we are set up on a pad over the first well we walk the rig from well to we'll never needing trucks until we move again to another pad. All very cost effective and time efficient. The biggest advances have been in drill bits and drill fluids, we have made huge improvements in these areas.
I started saying 5 years ago that Alberta is going to have to go through a change I saw the writing on the wall, we have to many service companies, too many trucks, to many dozers, to many rental companies we are just over crowded, somebody is going to have to get out. Personally I think in the next year or two we are going to see more bankruptcies than we have seen over the last 2 years. Companies have been able to hold on, banks have backed them with the anticipation the oil patch will come back. Yes it's going to come back but not as it was. Dollar for BBL it's a meaner machine, over the coming years were are going to increase production twice fold with half the equipment and men needed for it. Our governments and people have to get used to it. Companies are going to have to sell out and move on, it's just the way it's going to be.

I agree Walleyes, we see that in the NTD business also. We talk a lot about the number of players in the game and who can make it in the next few years. We are an international company and have been around for a while, but guys that went independent during the boom times can't compete now. We will see things pick up a bit in the next few years, but I don't believe it will ever be as it was a few years ago. I know people say they heard this before, but if they are trying to hold on waiting for it and not changing, your in trouble. The thing is it was bound to happen, no way it could go on forever. Our company is now looking at how Alberta will look tomorrow, not yesterday. There is no more thought that the boom times will come again, like there was a year ago.

Just for a change of pace . I am always in a debate about who
is wasting more of my tax dollars ....but inevitably the CBC
Always shows up in the top 2 . If this story is remotely true
The lack of accountability is apparent .

The CBC is the voice of the Liberal party paid for by us. Nothing more than a propaganda machine.

LeverAction · « **Reply #317 on:** March 01, 2017, 01:32:59 PM »

Even when we had a PC government the CBC was a Liberal propaganda machine. I never understood why the PC's let them ride when they where in power. They would bash Harper like crazy, but still get free rain to do what they wanted, and spend money like no tomorrow. It should be kicked loose and made to run like any other network.

greylynx · « **Reply #318 on:** March 01, 2017, 05:19:29 PM »

CBC. The official media arm of the Liberal Party of Canada. Just like the Clinton News Network CNN being the media arm of the Democrat Party in the U.S.

When the conservatives were in power all you heard was vitriolic hate being put on Harper on the CBC. Now the CBC hate is all directed at Trump. One would think the C.B.C. would be able to drum up propaganda stories about the Shiny Pony every day like the Chi-Comms did about Mao all the time. I guess there really is nothing news worthy of the empty suit Justin on a day to day basis and Trump is used as a punching bag.

Also, Another item that is rather sickening is how Corus Radio is trying mirror the CBC. Maybe they are looking for billion dollar handout from Justin and the party.

Who is that morning guy for 630? If Notley or the Shinny Pony stop short, they would have to surgical remove him from their ass.

. I don't tune in much since Dave Rutherford left.
