be real

Without trying to offend anyone, what are the plans for Canadas new air fleet? To be a half ass loser democracy picking cherry fights after Americans whipe out any air to air or serious ground to air resistance? What will we be but little men looking for a fight we can win with our tough new toys. Why? What will we use our new planes for? I hope they serve us well and don't become penis extenions for our egos. Would our money and energy be better spent elswhere? There are many canadian missions now that could use money and energy more than we need a fleet of F-35. We ignore genocide but need new planes? Why? Why? Why? We're not protecting the north with F-35s, That's ridiculaus. Even if you are hell bent on these planes, stop and pretend for just a moment that this money went elswhere. It is a s-------d of money! We could rebuild Haiti! Hell we could fix our colonial reservation system and we could use our proud Canadian military. The good guys.

Really there are others who do have differnt opinions. I understand the need of the parties involved in the tarsands to get there product to market, but the issue that many have is wether it should be happening at all. Like it or not tarsands have a horrible reputation and are more destructive than traditional oil drills. The point for many is that rapid change is needed for climate change to slow, many feel it is to late. Others the shear environmental destructive scope of the project is to devastating to back. A pipeline to China is helping there authoratarian regime energy security. Last time I checked not the nicest group of politicos. Then there is the Americans They might not even pay us for the oil. All communities will have a say but not all will be heard. The reality of a coastal oil spill grows and the coastal communities wait for another exxon valdiz. Many problems ahead, I'm surfing again tomorrow so that's my two cents.

Sooo, what kind of mill? How big? Use single home? Energy for sale??? Will the province arrest you if you make your own? I'd rather not have bills when I'm sixty five. Don't you live on the prarie? Hell fire up the solar panels and wind mills. Look up Altamont Pass in California, the cows graze under the mills. Health warning, used to love corn fed beef, but cows will drown in there own mucus on a corn diet without antibiotics. Sucks I know, but the bright side is all they really need is grass and some oats for the winter! Prarie beef! Not feedl lot!

Atta boy! Geothermal Who is throwing money? Peter Makay ? I love my husky saw! Got a freezer full of Mulie!Worked for the chains years ago, can't stand the food. Your palat will mature if you let it young man. Double check the suncor stuff, I have a feeling there fingers stretch into other energy. Gas will go up and down but mainly up and I don't need it... so you have atter. You're not dumb havn't you seen my spelling! I would by an electric truck if they'ed make it, good god you think I like buying gas! The price here is nuts!!!

Harper is a poor democrat and that is why he isn't one. He attracts the lesser ideals of our people, sad but true, he is very good manipulator and propogandist. His poor soul is so twisted and tormented by who knows what and the lack of compramise he offers is offensive. Why the Cons have glommed onto the F-35 to patrol the far north is anyones guess, mabey they feel the Russians are going to wage an air to air combat war with us. I wonder what there plan B is? None?

Your funny! Let's go for a drink, I wan't to laugh at you!

If I was his senionr I wouldn't hesitate canning his ass, But this isn't the real world, it's politics. Peter's misadventures were all party related photo oppurtunity for himself, it just backfired because someone actually held him acountible for his spending... or no they didn't and that is a real shame on our government. Demand better, no excuses or we mise well just stand and say "hail to the thief" when whatever government walks in.

First Makay's head on a platter, Steven really won't mind and I liked it better when you were conservative.

I know it sure sucks to be involved with such liars. Minor scandal, lefties... excuse me but if this was the NDP I would be disgusted as you would be too you hypocrite. Use your head not your mouth. Expect better from all sides and stop making excuses everytime one of your Cons is caught. Gross.

Alberta is awash in oil. Why would they need wind energy? I don't know mabey ask anyone directly affected by the costs of global warmimg. Are you suggesting I burn oil and gas instead of wood? Are you really that stupid!!! Ya I'm going to burn oil and gas to heat my house! Not a chance. Wind power is popping up all over Canada large and small. The costs of energy is driving this...you are driving the green change. The demand and price of expensive oil and gas. By the way natuaral gas is not cheap and any moron that proclaims it is I would hate to see your financials. I bet I spend thousands of dollars less on gas and oil than you. Guess who saves more off every dollar earned, you or me? I don't need Alberta oil and neither does the future. The sooner this happens the better, just stay out of B.C. we don't need any dumb ass Albertans out here. Or your crappy feed lot corn fed beef. Go drink your yummy water.

Are you trying to be funny or stupid? Wind energy is encredibly profitable. Fact...Altamont pass and it has been pumping out the wind juice for over thirty years. A positive return on power as in money? Gas is a waisted energy, once used, done, fact. Wow natural gas is cheap right now. No not really. If you were planning on retiring now and your house was heated with natural gas you are facing some very steep costs now and in the near future. Over the next fifty years the tarsands will turn on to full capacity using up gas reserves like never before. Want to know what's cheap? Firewood. The chinese don't have access to the oil yet...personally the oil in Alberta will make Canada money but make it more difficult for our manufactering exports with our higher dollar. Fact.

Gee I thought hydro electricty was profitable. Silly me. When we use natural gas to make oil we are really wasting energy. You only get one crack at it and it seems very wastful. This may be a difficult concept for you. Remove your head from your posterior please.

? Are you drunk?

Angry man, what hand out? What is the cost of the Tar Sands to Canada. Not just the dollar barrel but what about the great waist of energy in it's production? I live in B.C. Our natural gas helps makes the tar sands function. Soon a pipeline will fill tankers to China exporting our vast energy reserves which used up our other energy reserves to make. Stop, think, don't swear, just breath and ponder how we can do this better. Good, now sit down with the rest of your Canadian family. All anyone on this is saying is we want to do it better, cleaner more efficiant and hopefully one day, not need it anymore. The handout by the way was provided by the Canadian taxpayers, years and years of subsidizing the tar sands, it's our energy and it will belong to China. No handout needed here broskie but the federal government should be investing this tax revenue into green energy and not on the tarsands. Profitable no need. Smart step into a future when oil will be gone and energy is power.

Your truck was/is built in Canada.

The entitlement to the wealth, energy, future? Born in the greatest Province ever created by God himself! Yes Canadians grovel, grovel you are unworthy of non-corruption. Dig! Dig! Faster! Faster! Get it before anyone realizes its gone. What the magority of Canadians want is a healthy future to evolve out of this black mess. Does Alberta have a plan after they've exported all their wealth, hat in hand back to Ottawa? You do realize it will end...you do right?

Yes tailings ponds tap water for all the little northern children.

It is healthy and wise to not trust Harper. That is good advice to unplug for a few days, have a treat, then come back to the reality of Harper as PMO...propogandist ministers office.

Well... it is the Harper Government, there is no interest in other political stripes with this PMO. THe brand has been made, truth or lie, if it is said enough it will become the reality. Whatever happend to a good old baseball bat?

Reminds me of the Harper Conservative budget, remember the one with made up numerals :angry: , probably all smoke and mirrors. Mabey money spent in Quebec! Nothing riles the rage of neo cons more than all that money turning French when it should be subsidizing tar sands.

Or our leaders could be honest with us and tell the nation about the energy concerns of other nato nations. Then they can explain why this mission took place and why others won't. It was a safer bet than Syria or Yemen and it still has oil. Sweet light crude dude, the best in a world addicted to oil energy. This said they did a fantastic job on there mission.

Military ceremony and thanking our service people yes we all agree it is good. That was complete political propoganda serving the Harper Conservitive Government, not the government for all Canadians. There is nothing noble or victorious about war. It is a failure of globel society. Just because none of us died doesn't make killing acceptable. Sometimes we will fail, hopefully we will learn from our mistakes. I was disgusted to see our military used in political propaganda, but this seems to be Harper's way.

Which amount would you like to make up? Wouldn't it depend on how much is being pumped into the harper Conservative Government? Environmentaly active yes, weasel that seems to be your disposition.

You have no problem with paying for the profits of private companies with taxpayers money!!!? I employ ten people, so I won't need much just a few hundred thousand a year would do. Surly this is reasonble to you.
