Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall was quick to respond to NDP leader Thomas Mulcair's comments he made on the weekend on CBC radio bashing the oilsands blaming them for the decline of manufacturing in Ontario and Quebec.
Thank God for Brad Wall! He's the only good premier left in Canada. He did a great job defending the oilsands again yesterday on Ezra Levant's show.
Premier Wall responded but where's our dear Alberta Premier Alison Redford? Why hasn't she spoken out about Mulcair's comments? Why isn't she standing up and defending our oil industry? Does she even care?
Does she agree with Mulcair? Or does she agree with Brad Wall? Albertans and Canadians need to know.
The oilsands are the engine that is driving the Alberta and Canada's economy right now. Just in Alberta alone the oil industry employs 551,066 people. Many more jobs are created all over Canada as a result of the oilsands. Without the oilsands Canada would be sunk.
Alison, crawl out from underneath your rock and do your job. Give us your response. Brad Wall seems to be the only premier who cares. Shame on you RedAli!

Another Faux Scandal Bites the Dust
The Libs, Dippers and the media party are always trying to smear PM Stephen Harper and the Conservatives. Always looking the juicy adscam type scandal to bring them down .Every time it always blows up in their faces. Every day all of them lose credibility. You'd think they would learn by now. Oh well, I guess their hate for the Conservatives blinds them. Here's an example of the lastest.
OTTAWA — Offshore bank statements in the name of Associate Defence Minister Julian Fantino are not authentic and the conflict of interest commissioner has informed Fantino she is dropping her investigation.BTW, whatever happened to Pierre Poutine?

Why Can't We Have That Debate?
I'm so sick and tired of those who want to stifle debate on anything to do with abortion or any other issue. For example Conservative MP Stephen Woodworth brought forth a motion to debate whether or not to set up a special committee to discuss when life begins. What's so wrong with that?
You'd think it was Armageddon the way some are reacting. Why can't we have a debate on abortion, the death penalty, climate change, health care or anything else? The beloved Charter that the left loves to tout says we have freedom of speech but really it's an illusion.
Take a couple of Wildrose candidates in most recent Alberta election, One, a former pastor who wrote in blog over a year ago that quoted the Bible sayng gays along with every other sinner will burn in a lake of fire if they don't turn from their ways. The other made a statement that was totally taken out context about race. You can agree or disagree with those two gentlemen. That's up to everyone to decide. They and the Wildrose party were crucified and some believe that's why they lost the election. Is one not allowed to voice their own views or have their own beliefs when it comes to religion or race?
Free speech only seems to be for one side. The Left. If those of us on the right speak out about the issues we believe in etc we get called hater mongers, bigots,racists, neanderthals, knuckle draggers and a whole bunch of other names. We are the ones who are told we have to be tolerant but the other side seems like they are the ones who are the most intolerant and hateful. We must be politically correct.
Those of us who have different views on abortion, climate change and all the other topics that are verboten, are told to sit down and shut up, it's settled, we don't want to go there. Well I don't think we should sit down and shut up. It's exactly what the other side wants.. There has to be a time when we say enough is enough.
Are we not grown up enough in this country to debate the issues from all sides? Can't we have a civil debate without one side demonizing the other?
No topic should be off the table Everyone should have their say.
We should never forget this famous quote from Thomas Jefferson: "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance."
And this one from Edmond Burke: "All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing."

Wildrose Roots Were Not Deep Enough
Ok, I am finished licking my wounds from the Alberta election. Sure I was really wanting Wildrose to win. I thought Danielle Smith would make terrific premier and I still do. It's obvious Albertans were not quite comfortable yet handing them government. Wildrose roots were just not deep enough yet.
I know we all believed the polls and the pundits. Most were projecting a Wildrose win. The expectation was high. It looks now like the polls were wrong.
But hey, thinking about it most of the day yesterday, it wasn't a total loss. Wildrose came away with 17 seats including Danielle's. PCs came away with fewer seats than they had before. Wildrose is now the official opposition, the government in waiting. Danielle and her team will keep hammering away at Red Ali and her PC minions as they keep mucking the province up.
It was the same situation with the Lougheed PCs at first. They were in opposition first to prove themselves, then government. Same too with the CPC. Look where they are now.
As the time passes, Wildrose will gain experience, get more media and public attention. Their roots will grow deeper. Albertans will get to know them better and become more comfortable. If they do a good job, keep their noses clean, keep getting their message out, they will gain the trust of Albertans come next election in four years, they will be rewarded and Danielle Smith, a smart, charismatic, articulate woman will be handed the keys to the premiers office.
I think we just have to be patient. As the Wildrose roots grow deeper, the more stable they will be and next time will not be blown over. The next election campaign is just starting.
