Here's a common denominator between East and West.........




Ottawa has done this to both of us.

Oh come on. The sensorship thing isn't going to last. I laughed my ass off reading this thread and Mario's move. So now Alberta's top dog but can't take the heat of being first in the league? Give me a frickin break.

And quit calling Alberta the F'en West. It has a tiny slice this side of the divide. It's the prairies. Lotus land is the "West". Yanks are supposed to be the ones bad at geography.

I'll be honest I didn't like your post one bit and I was prepared to fight a flame war with you. Now I am more pissed off at the fact that I was censored for a few swear words that quite honestly litter this place, I mean just check out some of Iceowls old posts for christ sakes. And I still want an answer as to the selective censorship here. I see no reason we couldn't have fought this out as people normally do here without involving a moderator.

well, first i'd like to respond to the post that linked the video on racism in calgary.

as most of you already know, until recently i lived in calgary and i have been to clubs in calgary too. let me just say that it's not only black people or east indian people who are being discriminated against. pretty much every nightclub discriminates against ANYONE they deem 'unsightly'. this includes overweight people or "ugly" people.
it's sickening and makes me mad. won't see me in any club any time soon.

I think its a very good post . I spent 43 years in Alberta and most of what Fat posted is true . I love Alberta although I'm not a fan of the wait 5 minutes and the weather will change . Speaking of Alberta economicly I would say it is the most irrespondsible province this country has seen to its own and the country also the greatest influence to the destruction of this country .

I guess you would have to pull about half of GFPB , Vic Vegas and USA OKS post to...because i find most things they say stupid and ignorant.

They don't post articles about Five Reasons to Hate Ontario, or Five Reasons To Hate PEI.

You started this topic with the intention of starting a flame war.

Congratulations. You succeeded.

Thank you for your thoughts on this matter...I will reflect on your words and get back to you.

censored by me. I didn't see all the rest of this.

Ok. FB is a shit disturber and this is just another cry for attention.

Censorship is evil unless it's impartial and clearly stated. Here it was handled with the skill and precision of a drunk 14 year old using a chain flail for the 1st time. Since FB started this with an inflamitory cut & paste, he should have to suffer the slings, arrows, and the occasional chain flail of nasty words.

lol i'm in the process of writing aobut that right now

A good article by Matthew Hayes, obnoxiously worded.

Fascinating video, but I doubt Alberta has a monopoly on asshole bouncers.

As it turns out, much of our new government, led by Stephen Harper, hails from Alberta. And this means, according to Harper, that the West is now “in.”

$1:

1) That bogus “West wants in” garbage Okay, so let’s put a stop to this right now. It was Preston Manning who first coined the phrase, “The West wants in,” insinuating that the West had somehow been shut out of federal influence since the beginning of time. This is nonsense. The last two Liberal governments had a number of prominent cabinet members from B.C. (though only one from Alberta). And though Joe Clark didn’t last long as Prime Minister, he and a number of other MPs from the West served in Mulroney’s cabinet. What’s more, even during the Liberal reign of the past 12 years, ideas hatched by Manning were appropriated by the ruling Liberal Party as a way of undercutting growing Reform popularity. Many of the massive cuts made to government institutions were lifted directly from Reform Party policy books, for instance drastic cuts to the CBC. Alberta and other Western fiscal conservatives were already having their way, long before Jan. 23.

not true. the system that is in place is still not perfectly fair, though it is in the process of changing.
allberta's population is rising but the populaiton of the west is still smaller than the east, especially ontario and quebec. the reason that the conservatives gained a minority is because he (harper) campaigned well and long in those 2 provinces. the election(s) is/are still decided regardless of how the vote goes west of ontario. there is also the problem in the senate. the solution to this is to make the senate an elected body, to represent the intrests of the provinces, and should have limited terms like MPs.
sure, the conservative leaning parties got their way in the form of some legislation, but do you think the culture of entitlement would have happened (or the sponsorship scandal) if the electoral system didn't favour ontario and quebec?

@ streaker ....See even the smart guy thought it was a good read.
