Hollands pathetic attempts to get out of this one might sound ok to the sheeple east of Manitoba, but they aren't fooling anyone out here. In any case, he clearly revealed the liberal agenda and it's tried and true tactic of making Alberta the whipping-boy to give the easterners that warm & fuzzy feeling. Public sentiment towards liberals out here is seething just under the radar, and Stephen Harper winning a year ago the only reason Ted Morton is not the premier now. I have no doubt that the liberals view Alberta as yet another source to fill the trough they are used to feeding at, and are actively trying to find a way to elbow their way in, but they had better watch their step or they'll have a groundswell of separation minded folks that will make the movement in La Belle province look like a picnic in the park. Dion has clearly shown himself to be as out of touch as any other eastern liberal, his knowledge of the oil industry ends at the gas nozzle that fills his car. If central Canada elects this bumbling fool then Canada as we know it has begun its final descent, which is something I think is eventually going to happen anyway, this country just CANNOT continue the way it is, it doesn't work, plain and simple. Serious changes are going to have to be made, and the power brokers in the east will not let this happen. Skal!
