Being a fiscal conservative and someone who had held out some hope for Stelmach, let me just say that this drops him a lot in my estimation. <BR/>The sheer audacity to label planned or restrained growth as Soviet Communism is something I expected from extreme Republicans, but not a reasonable guy like Stelmach.<BR/><BR/>I should probably point out at this juncture that the US does immense amounts of planning for growth, despite being conservative capitalists. We just fail.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10290429.post-26905021465764742172008-11-04T20:41:00.000-07:002008-11-04T20:41:00.000-07:00I wish I had as much free time as you do.

To pick through reams of Hansard a quote to spin into an entire post.<BR/><BR/>I'm thinking Lougheed has a better opinion of Stelmach than he has of Taft. They certainly speak frequently.<BR/><BR/>Here's an idea for a post. Plot the attendance record of the Alberta Liberals this session. It won't take long... the highest you'll have to count daily is 9. From what I hear, about a third of Liberal MLAs are missing daily. Nice to know the Loyal Opposition is working for Albertans.<BR/><BR/>I wouldn't be surprised to hear about a floor-crossing before the end of session. If Swann wins the ALP leadership, count on it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10290429.post-83855160226445694132008-11-04T20:25:00.000-07:002008-11-04T20:25:00.000-07:00Wow - the content on this site just gets deeper an...Wow - the content on this site just gets deeper and deeper ...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10290429.post-8306014941955432008-11-04T16:31:00.000-07:002008-11-04T16:31:00.000-07:00Is Ed Stelmach an ariel wolf hunter?Is Ed Stelmach an ariel wolf hunter?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10290429.post-56621746660292999602008-11-04T16:28:00.000-07:002008-11-04T16:28:00.000-07:00Daveberta is a Socialist Marxist Elitist Extremist...Daveberta is a Socialist Marxist Elitist Extremist.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10290429.post-61654140700138554482008-11-04T16:12:00.000-07:002008-11-04T16:12:00.000-07:00My friends , ol' Steady Eddie is just a straight t...My friends , ol' Steady Eddie is just a straight talkin' maverick-y hockey mom.
