Looks like Canada elected a [b][color:#3333FF]bigger fool[/color][/b] than our Obama, didn't think that was possible.. “It is with deep sorrow that I learned today of the death of Cuba’s longest serving President.
“Fidel Castro was a larger than life leader who served his people for almost half a century. A legendary revolutionary and orator, Mr. Castro made significant improvements to the education and healthcare of his island nation.
“While a controversial figure, both Mr. Castro’s supporters and detractors recognized his tremendous dedication and love for the Cuban people who had a deep and lasting affection for “el Comandante”.
“I know my father was very proud to call him a friend and I had the opportunity to meet Fidel when my father passed away. It was also a real honour to meet his three sons and his brother President Raúl Castro during my recent visit to Cuba.
“On behalf of all Canadians, Sophie and I offer our deepest condolences to the family, friends and many, many supporters of Mr. Castro. We join the people of Cuba today in mourning the loss of this remarkable leader.” Unfortunately,embarrassingly true. I was so offended by his statement that I became physically ill! I guess I am not a Canadian anymore as he used the phrase "On behalf of all Canadians". He never asked my opinion on the subject. Between his revere for anything Castro and Rachael Notley's adoration of Che Gueverra Canada and Alberta in particular are doomed.

Western Canada separatism will continue to grow because of the Liberals and their hate of anything west of Ontario. It's the only move we've got if long-term sovereignty and freedom from Ottawa's oppression is our goal. Another conservative government will only delay eastern denigration of the west for a few years until they can elect another Liberal PM. The inevitable reality is that eastern and western Canadian culture are fundamentally incompatible.

I feel fortunate to have lived in Calgary from late 2004 through mid-2009 when a good government was in place and the O&G industry was booming. Times, I suspect, Alberta will never see again.

It was a big shock to see the NDP somehow get elected in Alberta. Seeing how they are destroying the province I don't think that will happen any time soon again.

Having said that I feel for the next govt. that will be tasked with cleaning up the mess left behind. That in and of itself will be painful but badly needed. It will be a rejuvenation period where the strength of Albertans will be required full on. Rebuilding Canada after the removal of the Liberals will take much the same strength from Canadians.

troutfly;
Good evening to you sir, I trust this finds you and your fine family well.
I too am not surprised but certainly deeply disappointed by our young leader's lack of savvy when making statements that the world views.
The only good I can see coming of it is that possibly some of his fan base will receive this as a wake up call to see just what they've helped create.
It's somewhat interesting to see the press turning on him now too - something I thought might take longer to happen, but again felt was inevitable as the ineptitude surfaced.
Anyway sir, all the best to you all as winter starts to settle in.

Mr. Castro made significant improvements to the education and healthcare of his island nation.
Arguably the biggest myth perpetrated by the left. Pre-Castro Cuba had a literacy rate higher on par with the US as well as a low cost health care system in place.
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

"Good Government ????" ....crap's sake, that's when that ridiculous "long gun registry" was all shiny fresh and in full flower of stupidity.

Maybe dumb, but maybe his true colors are beginning to show. Many great people in Canada, but they surely have their share of liberal snowflakes too, always have. Canada is a whole is pretty heavily socialist............... MM

Do you realize you are talking about our "selfie" king? And don't forget queen Sophie. He deserves better treatment than this.

I listen to CBC radio from time to time. Trudeau makes Obammy look downright right wing at times.

It has a clear left wing agenda and makes no bones about supporting the same in all its news coverage. If that is the route it goes, it should be sold to private interest and not allowed to campaign for left wing values supported by public tax dollars. During the last election, the CBC took every opportunity possible to aid in the election of our snowboarding ski bum prime minister.

I remember ordering a copy of the regulations and a set of paperwork necessary for taking a firearm into Canada, just to monkey wrench the operation. IIRC, it was a stack about as thick as a Chicago phonebook!  Can we trade some Muzzie immigrants for some Canucks who hate Trudeau?
