If it wasn’t for the Flames, I think I might have stayed out that way. I did like Lanny though. Good guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One would think they would move to Surrey with all the criminals to defend. They likely decided in Alberta knowing their clients could afford to pay them rather than being a public attorney and making peanuts from the government because most in BC can't afford their own representation. Just my guess. I heard Alberta is the meth capital of Canada..... should be lots of work for lawyers in Alberta...... But it could be tractor pull accident lawsuits / claims...... or . lawsuits from cancer survivors against the chewing tobacco industry..... which is centred in Alberta.

Vulcan actually. Big farm country. Helped her dad a lot on the farm in the 80’s and 90’s. My mom is from Lethbridge. I fell in love with South Western Alberta during those years. Listened to a lot of 960 sports radio while down on the farm. I just hated seeing the oil donkeys going up in the fields:( I loved living in Edmonton for a couple of years . Very friendly people. Lived on 121 st just half a block off Jasper Ave. Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether it’s Alberta, BC, or Nova Scotia, I’d rather live in any part of our great country than anywhere else in the world.

We loved both. Canadians are great on both coasts, and in between too. It’s just those darned Leaf’s fans back east that make it hard living out there.

Just because people own a car doesn't mean they aren't environmentally conscious. I own a car but walk to most places I need to go, or bus, or bike. I am lucky to live close enough to commute by foot or bus everyday. I still drive on weekends or for road trips; does that make me a hypocrite for wanting a better deal for BC in re to the pipeline? BC coastline bears all the risk and many communities and major industries with it. I understand, and want, the economic boost that the pipeline would bring, who wouldn't? BUT I think it is important for the federal and the provincial governments of BC and Alberta to formulate preventative measures against spills. Remember when there was that minor oil leak in English bay about 3 years ago? The first people to the beaches to clean it up were citizens! As of now BC does not have the systems in place to respond to a large scale spill of any kind. You can't argue that you're worried about the environment when you pollute it yourself, how can anyone argue with that really. It would be like saying you're all about PETA, but hey occasionally I like to wear my fur coat at special occasions, it doesn't work like that.

Norway has over a trillion in their fund. Albeta and Albertans sound like a bunch of whiners....... You mismanage your province resources / investments / oil revenues.... and now you try to blame BC for your own ineptness. Too funny. Tactics? You're calling Global News stories tactics?

I'd recommend Rosetown....it's an example of the type of marketing Erik the Red employed when he named Greenland...

How BC liberal of you Jimmy. Your teachers may be paid average but your cost of living in Vancouver is the highest in Canada. Ya healthcare in BC is great... In Vancouver People were on stretchers in a bloody cafeteria and places like Penticton have hospitals full of asbestos that were built back when dinosaurs roamed the earth.

Same thing at Foothills too e.g., stretchers in hallways in a pan-Canadian tradition. I do think teachers can be paid too much, thats true. Right now its adequate to the job imo. I'm not all that impressed with the BCTU after having a kid go through the BC system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
