He's still an MP you guys! Geez. All he did was resign as leader. I hope he continues on with his good work!

Harper has made his home in Calgary, and represented the west while PM pushing Keystone.
And he was as good at that as he was at being PM.

I figured out why HarperCons hate Trudeau. He is human compared to Harper's robotic, emotionless, dictatorial unhumanness. Harper shunned human contact with the people while Justin willing interacts with people and somehow that scares ConBots. His humanity scares them. I'm sure Freud and Jung would have a field day with that one.

Northern Ontario,
We never heard a peep from the peanut gallery when Bob Rae took a lucrative Board of directors' job at Tembec after leaving the Ontario legislature....

Why Calgary? He is from Toronto, was educated in and worked in Edmonton.


Robin Hood Airport is in Doncaster yet, as far as I'm aware, Robin Hood himself wasn't from Doncaster, although he may have still been from Yorkshire, though.

We should not name building or other things after people while they're still alive. A better airport naming wold be changing Mirabel to PET and PET back to Dorval.

How does that fit in with "letting people smell the roses while they still can"?

10/10 but somehow Cannuckelhead and MegaButtHurtz still moved into Albetra.. :(
At least us 'natives' can spell the name correctly. Didn't take us long to chase you away either. Alberta has it's share of bad politicians but the corruption comes whenever they spend any time in the east. (see Manning's career for proof)

Ever hear the east wanting to reign in the out of control banks like this one?

The Bank of Nova Scotia is the leading gold dealer in the Caribbean and the leading handler of capital flight out of the Caribbean. It is the banker of Noranda, a huge Canadian mining company that is the second largest dealer of gold in the Caribbean. Gold is the preferred currency of drug traffickers and Bank of Nova Scotia Jamaican subsidiary Scotiabank plays a huge role in the Caribbean drug trade. [154] The 200 tons of gold recovered from vaults beneath the World Trade Center in the cleanup effort following the 911 terror attacks belonged to Bank of Nova Scotia.
Royal Bank of Canada has more off-shore subsidiaries than any other bank in the world. It bailed out the government of Guyana in 1976 after a CIA coup brought down the socialist government of Cheddi Jagan. Royal launched the business career of Venezuela’s most powerful Cisneros family, which overseas Rockefeller interests in that country. It has a joint venture in the Bahamas with National Westminster called RoyWest.
Both the Bank of Nova Scotia and Royal Bank of Canada are controlled by Canada’s most influential family – the Bronfmans. The Bronfmans control DuPont, which spun off Conoco, as well as Seagrams, Vivendi and Eagle Star Insurance.
Eagle Star is the Bronfman holding company and a joint venture with British powerhouses Barclays, Lloyds, Hill Samuel and N. M. Rothschild & Sons. Eagle Star combined with Allianz Versicherung – a German company controlled by the von Thurn and Taxis and Wittelsbach families – to become a global financial titan.
The von Thurn and Taxis – Germany’s deposed royal family – funded Tradition, Family and Property – the fascist movement responsible for right-wing death squad genocide throughout South America.
Eagle Star is close to British intelligence. Two directors, Sir Kenneth Strong and Sir Kenneth Keith, were #1 and #2 at British Intelligence during WWII. Keith is a director at Bank of Nova Scotia and chairman of Hill Samuel, where HSBC’s Sir Philip de Zulueta joins Keith on the board. Keith is an influential member of the Canadian Institute for International Affairs (CIIA), the sister organization of London’s powerful Royal Institute of International Affairs and the US Council on Foreign Relations. [155] The official leader of Canada, by virtue of its Crown affiliation, is Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II, whose mandates are carried out by a governor-general.
The Bank of Montreal has interlocking directorates with Seagrams and Hudson Bay Company. Hudson Bay is tight with Lord Inchcape’s Peninsular & Orient Navigation Company (PONC) and the Hong Kong Keswick family that controls Jardine Matheson. PONC’s Sir Eric Drake sits on the board at Hudson Bay. He and William Johnston Keswick also sit on the board of BP Amoco. Drake sits on the board of Kleinwort Benson, whose Sharps Pixley subsidiary runs 49% of the Hong Kong gold market. Keswick’s son Henry Neville Lindley Keswick is a director at HSBC, Jardine Matheson and the Canadian paper giant MacMillan Bloedel which merged with the largest US paper and timber company Weyerhaeuser in 1999.

That's sorta like saying George W. Bush is from the Northeast. He now lives and made his home in Texas, he is now from Texas.
If you say so. When someone asks me where I live I tell them I live in the central Kootenays or beside Kootenay Lake BC or whatever. If they ask me where I am from, I say northern MB or Mystery Lake. Where I live and where I am from are two completely different places.

Harper has made his home in Calgary, and represented the west while PM pushing Keystone.
Well, then to me that is where he lives, but he is still from Toronto.
If you need any more lessons in English, I am going to have to charge money or cookies or something.

Robin Hood Airport is in Doncaster yet, as far as I'm aware, Robin Hood himself wasn't from Doncaster, although he may have still been from Yorkshire, though.

haha Awesome! I think it is kind of cool there is something named after Robin Hood. I thought it was all myth, but apparently there were a few people that could have been the character.

Yeah, like Richard Coeur de Lion!

What did the Nut say when he phoned to congratulate the one who ousted Harper?

"Hello"
