A small protest is going on outside Harper's riding HQ's in Calgary and they want the Budget Bill to be divided up so more debate can happen. They shouldn't hold their breath because it will never happen unless more than 40 show up. http://www.calgaryhe...1565/story.html

With the way Harper has ran this country's eastern provinces into the ground with his Alberta gets first priority governing, eventually there will be a flood of easterners who don't drink from the neo-con koolaid moving to Alberta in order to survive. When that happens, there'll be larger numbers protesting there and change in that province will come.A small protest is going on outside Harper's riding HQ's in Calgary and they want the Budget Bill to be divided up so more debate can happen.

Without Alberta, Harper has no solid base to stand on, he's pissed off the rest of Canada.
“This is all about who you represent,” Mr. Dewar (NDP) said. “We’re (NDP) talking about representing the interests of working people and everyday Canadians and they [the Conservatives] are about representing the fund managers who come in and fleece our companies and our country.

Then Alberta should keep up the good work.

Won't happen if Mulcair gets his way.
Even under such unprecedented communist evil as Mulcair, things will truck along as they always do.

I think Mulcair will tell the oil companies that they need to stop operating. His next trip to Alberta will be with chains and padlocks.

Maybe I'm misremembering, but I do seem to recall he and Samuel L. Jackson issuing a statement asking to get those motherfucking oil companies off those motherfucking fields.

This Muclair thing, the NDP leader has just said that the oil companies should be respnonsible and clean up the environment, are all of you against companies cleaning up the mess they make? I've never hear him say the oil companies should stop just clean up thier mess.

While I cna only ultimately speak for myself, it appears to me that the preceding three posters are jokingly responding to the idea that Mulcair wants to shut Alberta's business down.

The majority of Canadians, including yourself, don't even know everything that's in the bill, so to say they're "A-OK" with it is only to bemoan Canadian ignorance generally.
A pretty piss-poor defense of it.
