Please quit referring to the Exxon Valdez incident ... its like arguing that we shouldn't be driving because 1974 Pinto's were dangerous.

People often ask why Alberta couldn't have been more like Norway. Alberta is very much like Norway in that Albertan's are not afraid to get things done. They look at a problem, identify risks, manage risks and, if managed risks are acceptable, they move forward. 

Sadly, Canada is turning into a nation of "can't", "won't", "what's in it for me" and "If I can't have my way, I'm going to stomp up and down and have a temper tantrum".

A failed state in the making ....
