I used to do a cursery read of the Calgary Sun on a daily basis, much as I did of the Herald, Journal, Edmonson Sun the Post and the Globe to glean the political tidbits as well as the current events that might be forming said tidbits.
Unfortunately,the past few days I was forced to confront the self-serving ramblings published in the Calgary Sun.
I can usually let a lot roll offf of my back, but me-thinks that Bell has been on the bong. How else to describe his recent rants based on nothing more than an injured ego?
For one example see: http://calsun.canoe.ca/News/Columnists/Bell_Rick/2008/03/04/4901326-sun.php
then just keep clicking on the links at the bottom of the columns.
As to lower voter trunout, in spite of the billions of our dollars this government spends on internet technology, no where on line was an Alberta voter able to find out where they voted. That is because the Elections Alberta website could/would only tell you what electoral district you lived in, not where you voted. If you could actually navigate the site to find your "returning Officer" (should you know the term), these, for the most part appointed tories friends, who were appointed in December had not one single public website.
Such is the life in a banana republic, without the good weather!

one insight into the closure of seven hospital helipads might be that STARS new helicopter (the AB139) is 54 feet in length, which is about the length of a highway semi-trailer unit. This new helicopter obviously will not fit into most existing hospital heli-pads, and I suspect there is a political connection and reason for this closure, and not a transport canada connection.
ReplyDeleteMy personal hunch is that STARS is doing behind the scenes lobbying to have the government pay to improve the helipads to suit their newest extravagance. With the Alberta government of today, it seems that nearly everything is done behind the scenes. I could be wrong.
