Will benefit Alberta? I'm watching the news today..and they are all going on how Alberta is going to have more say, and the west is in..and blah blah blah..(I live in Alberta, so wtf else would i hear ad nauseum). But i'm sitting here thinking how will this be any different? Does a federal...

Does anyone here think that despite all the polls and the media coverage, that the Liberal Party will win, vis a vis either a minority or majority government on Monday?

Not sure if this is the appropriate place to inquire about such matters, but is it possible to consider a forum to discuss History? Specifcially Canadian History, although I suppose all History discussions are appropriate. I suppose Canadian Culture or any forum we could post a historical...

I'm curious for the other AB residents here, what are you going to do with your cheque once you get it? Personally myself, i have a date with a spa..massage, pedicure, manicure and haircut..wooo. The rest i suppose i will put it into the bank for a rainy day.

If they win by a minority of seats, and presuming that the Libs/NDP will side with each other as per usual, who will the Cons allign themselves with. The Bloc??? If for example the Bloc form the official opposition..would they HAVE to side with the Liberals? I really can't imagine them...

If for the last bazillion years, the NDP have been viewed as the viable alternative to the Liberal gov't on the left...than what party is the viable alternative on the right? Being that there is none that i can see...than does that mean that without opposition on the right like the Libs have...

Ok..seriously..ignoring party lines and which party they belong to.... What do you think of each of Paul Martin, Stephen Harper, Jack Layton and Gilles Duceppe (and the guy from the Green Party if you want to include him, as they may or may not be a factor...). I mean on a personal level...on...

I am really surprised about myself, as I normally consider myself more on the political minded side...but with that said...i really do not care about this election. I will vote, but if i didn't come here, i would barely know what the issues are..thats how little i am paying attention. I feel...

Not sure where to put this, but seeing as how my specific pet peeve relates to international politics, i will put this here. I think my number one pet peeve in new media, (tv, radio, print) in North America is that news is very local. By that i mean, i am annoyed by how little international...

I thought with all these year in review things on magazines and newscasts, we could start our own shallow barometer of all things newsworthy. Let's limit to the outside world of events, not "i had a kid" or "my grandad got a new house" kind of topics. Ok..here are the categories... News Story...

To all my fellow CC'ers here, i wish you the very best of the holiday season!

Ok..this is very adhoc add..I am watching CTV right now. & I am too lazy to link anything. But general background....Liberals came out with an attack add today in the papers pairing Gilles Duceppe and Stephen Harper as buddys. Problem is that the pic they used was them sitting together at a...

Ok, i know its early to bitch about the weather. But anyone living in the prairies right now know what i am talking about when i say... BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! I can't stand it anymore. Give me my mild winter back. This -28 crap is for the birds...and winchill sucks too.

I have a number of politically minded coworkers. And water cooler talk is all politics at the moment. For the most part, i am the lone Liberal supporter in the sea of Conservative. But to my surprise, a lot of my pals are thinking of voting Liberal.....even though they don't like the Libs...

As the forum fence sitter (ha ha), i usually vote based on the issues and the candidates with minor consideration to the party (hence why i have voted liberal, reform, ndp, pc....hahaha). So than for me...I have to think of what is the one issue that will influence me in deciding where to...

I am not sure if this is in the right forum, but i figure it will get political in nature. Do you identify yourself more by the province you live in or by the country you live in. For example..do you consider your self to be a *Albertan* (or whatever you may be..fill in the blank) or a...

For those that live here, what do you love about Alberta and what do you despise. Despite being liberally inclined, i do like our defiant political spirit out here...even if i think Ralph Klein is a goober, i do admire him cuz he spits when you say don't spit, he jumps when you say don't...

So i called and cancelled my contract..it was almost a little tooo easy..so ill wait for Bell to screw up again...ill wait for that other shoe to drop. I think he just said ok that easy cuz when he asked why i was cancelling, i gave him an earful. So than i went to Rogers. Not only are they...

Okay keemosabbees. Keeping with the common agreement that Bell sucks ass..and being that i will just get pissed off if i re rant everything that pisses me off about Bell (i could go on for days)... My contract expired December 26th. How do i successfully ensure that my phone contract will be...

Being that with the exception of the USA, most of my travels have been right here at home...what are your favorite places to travel in Alberta? I really really like Jarvis Beach..which is just north of Sylvan Lake. Less busy than Sylvan lake, great beaches and fantastic campgrounds. For all...
