What a beautiful vehicle. I'd love to get another one while I can afford one. I hear they're coming out with a retro bus soon. I'll be all over it. Back in the climbing days I had a '79 Westfalia, lived in Bellingham and spent most of my days in Squamish. I got the full search crossing the border both ways... every bloody time. I finally got in the habit of leaving my dirty climbing clothes on top of the pile in the back. At least it made the searches quick.

But in fact 3 cabinet ministers from Alberta, 24 seats in all. not enough for me to say that the majority is from Alberta. Thats all i had to read to come to the conclusion there wasn't going to be to many actual facts here to worry about reading anymore.

[canadian1971]

Alberta has been good to this Eastener. While her politics are a bit quacky to me and theres no ocean, it's not a bad spot to be. Best part about it.....I didn't need a passport to come here.

[Scrappy]

I'm appalled that this type of Racism is "Allowed" to continue, bloody hell talk about backwards. Alberta needs a smack on the ass for allowing this to continue.

1. That slope-shouldered farm boy you are snickering at did more work before breakfast than you will do all week at the gym.

2. It's called a "gravel road." No matter how slow you drive, you're going to get dust on your BMW. I have a 4-wheel drive because I need it. Now drive or get it out of the way.

3. We all started hunting and fishing when we were nine-years-old. Yeah, we saw Bambi. We got over it.

4. Any references to "grain fed" when talking about our women will get your butt kicked... by our women.

5. Pull your pants up, and turn your hat around. You look like an idiot.

6. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of mallards are making their final approach, we will shoot it. You might hope you don't have it up to your ear at the time.

7. No, there's no "Vegetarian Special" on the menu. Order steak. Order it rare. Or, you can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the two pounds of ham and turkey.

8. Yeah, we have sweet tea. It comes unsweetened in a glass with two packets of sugar and a long spoon.

9. You bring Coke into my house you should bring rye along, and ice.

10. So you have a sixty-thousand-dollar car. We're real impressed. We have quarter-million-dollar combines that we use two weeks a year.

11. Let's get this straight. We may have one stoplight in town. We stop when it's red. We may even stop when it's yellow.

12. Our women hunt, fish, and drive trucks - because they want to. So, you're a feminist. Isn't that cute.

13. Yeah, we eat trout, Northern, walleye, and pike, too. If you really want sushi and caviar, it's available at the bait shop.

14. They are pigs and cows. That's what they smell like. Get over it. Don't like it? Highways #1 and #2 go two ways - get on one of them.

15. The "Opener" refers to the first days of fishing and deer season. They are religious holidays. You can get breakfast at the church.

16. So what if every person in every pick-up waves? It's called being friendly. Understand the concept?

LOL very funny.

[DrCaleb]

Good one Ziggy. :up:

It's kind of funny that Canadians are allowed to come together when we're up against seperatists, but it's OK to single out one province or another if Ontarians think it's funny.

Five reasons to hate Alberta

>> A political refugee presents a handy guide to Conservative bull

by MATTHEW HAYS

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.” But not all appears quite so rosy for the Conservative Party: despite a stumbling, scandal-ridden campaign, the Liberals still managed to pick up over 100 seats in Parliament, suggesting that there remains deep-seated fear, especially among urban dwellers, about what the Conservatives might do to Canada. Now, you might argue that it’s irresponsible to start fear-mongering and fanning the flames of regional hatred after such a divisive election. But we feel it would be irresponsible (not to mention dishonest) to try to claim that we ever aspired to be responsible in the first place. So here are our reasons for hating Alberta and not trusting a government that will be led by them.

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.

2) Albertans as besieged underdog victims Having grown up in Alberta, I recall hearing no end of bitching about how Quebecers were a bunch of whiners. Now we’re stuck hearing Albertans talk about how they’ve been getting the short end of the stick all these years. Come again? For Christ’s sake, Alberta is rolling in money due to the skyrocketing price of oil, so much so that Ralph Klein recently sent a $400 cheque to every Albertan citizen (God forbid the money should have gone to hospitals, schools or affordable housing—Klein sensibly felt that an iPod or plasma TV fund for individual Albertans should take precedence). Given this astonishing economic growth, Albertans rate as the biggest whiners in the universe.

3) People who vote Liberal in the East are sheep During the campaign, the CBC’s Mark Kelley captured one Albertan admonishing those in Ontario who consistently supported the Liberals, labelling these voters as “sheep.” This is rich, coming from Alberta, where Klein has reigned for years. These are hardly a politically sophisticated group of voters—a politician could stink to high heaven, but no matter, as long as they’re conservative.

4) People should learn how to manage money better, just like Alberta That same CBC report also had Albertans insisting people in other parts of the country should take them as some sort of example to follow. Albertans have paid off their debt due to no special talent or skill, but rather because they’re sitting on a huge supply of oil. Their line is tantamount to someone winning the lottery and then claiming that their millionaire status is due to hard work and ingenuity. As for money management, please see their dismal record during past recessions. They have failed to adequately diversify their economy, making them entirely beholden to international oil prices. This is not sound management.

5) That morality bullshit Albertans get their tits tied in a knot about same-sex marriage, but their provincial government has embraced gambling as a means of increasing revenue, Klein sent a letter of support to Bush cheerleading for the war on Iraq, and there was little public outcry when Klein was caught, drunk, throwing money at a group of homeless people, telling them to “get a job.” Er… what religion are you guys following, anyway?

Silver Lining: Now that Alberta is in the top spot, Klein can no longer blame the feds for all of Alberta’s woes. And I see a mending of that urban-rural rift—after all, every urban dweller I know is now planning on buying rural property, along with large amounts of canned food and a shotgun.

As an Albertan who sits somewhere in the political centre, I can understand this whole thing from both sides, and even get a laugh from both. Cheers!

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.

won't see me in any club any time soon.

*picks "ugly" as the reason*
