The federal government approves of coal mining, so this might be their chance to test their C-5 hammer. From here on, the province just has to take what economic opportunities the federal government allows them.

I was there and also wrote letters to the editors about Smith’s Brazil nuts. Idiotic. Condescending. Tone deaf. Downright insulting!

I’m hoping beyond hope that all three by-elections today are NDP wins, especially in Olds where I am predicting the UCP candidate comes in last. That would be an amazing protest result!

Absolutely! They were not there to listen . They have predetermined the outcome and thought they would placate the concerned citizens with rehashed bullshit . The lawsuit thing is the most hollow and ridiculous excuse. Really an insult to the intelligence of the audience.

I hold Mr. Fitch in high esteem, not least because of this (typical for him) well informed and firm yet respectful piece.
