Proof that candidates don't have the corner market on silly statements.

If the CO2 had a chance of leaking like that, the Natural Gas would have long ago, and we wouldn't have an industry in this province.
Sorry, didn't think I needed green text there.

This is the type of story that sparks debates on the safety of CO2 storage. I have no opinion on how valid the concern about them are though as I do not know enough about it.

So, at some point in the last 24 hours, one of Ric McIver's people came by and planted at least 20 NEW signs on 130th Avenue between Deerfoot and 52 Street. They are literally spaced 2-3 feet apart all the way up the road now.

At the same time (Ooh, what a coincidence!), somebody stole every single Wayne Anderson/Wildrose sign.

I actually laughed, because this represents the PC's to a tee: Spend and self-promote to a totally excessive level while simultaneously seeking to silence any opposition.

I'm hoping 308's predictions for Calgary-Hays are accurate, because even if the PCs win the election, I would love to see the tool McIver fail twice in two years.

It's a meme. One that has been so overdone it's not funny any more.

Clearly you didn't see the Wannamaker Downfall parody.

Oh please.

The Hitler meme has been around for years, lampooning everything from rioting Canucks fans to Kanye West.

Wait wait wait... Ric McIver could finally afford real signs?

I've seen it before, don't appreciate the nazi comparison though, kinda offensive.

Don't you think you're being just a tad over-sensitive? You're completely missing the point of the meme; nobody is comparing the Wildrose Party to Nazi Germany.

We'll the QR segment was officially 40% commercials, 10% traffic updates, 30% Angela Kokott saying "...A Panel of Average Voters", 20% polictical discussion.

There's no comparison being made, you're being oversensative.

No, the video portrays the back room of the Wildrose as a bunch of Nazi's who are trying to hide their real agenda behind Ms. Smith. Putting Hitler as Flanagan is ridiculous. I know what you are saying but I don't find it funny.
