The Albertans...There's good and bad everywhere. The Albertans I've met are fine. There is a sound argument about camping in the tar sands though. Tourism is an industry in BC that creates jobs. A pipeline running through BC doesn't create jobs. A leaking pipeline through BC will damage the tourism and the jobs that we do have. That Enbridge oil spill in Alberta that went into a river and contaminated a recreational lake is a prime example. Sales on that recreational property just took a nose dive. I know there are a lot of stereotypes about American tourists being rude but a friend from work had the opposite experience in disneyland. He finds Americans in their own country to be very friendly. He met some Canadian tourists in disneyland that were very rude. My daughter had a friend up from Texas a while ago. He stayed in Surrey and was surprised everyone wanted to fight him and kick his ass. (Just because nothing to do with him being from Texas) He said people were much friendlier back home. I thought that was somewhat ironic.Dennis Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06736981069304416233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576246045591350665.post-11338490941384144892012-07-28T16:42:57.524-07:002012-07-28T16:42:57.524-07:00I, for one, had mixed feelings when I went on vaca...I, for one, had mixed feelings when I went on vacation to Vancouver Island this summer. Half the campers in the big motorhomes were from Alberta (I stayed in a tent). On the one hand, I felt like asking them why they are not vacationing in the oil sands. They messed their own bed, they should have to sleep in it. On the other hand, considering they hold British Columbians in so much contempt, they sure like giving us their money!<br /><br />It may be only a matter of time until Albertans begin hiding their true identity like the Americans do when abroad. They call us Canadians dirty liberals, socialists, etc., then when they go on vacation they stick a Canadian flag on their luggage!Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14128528591628286061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576246045591350665.post-88946927447059309072012-07-25T15:15:04.100-07:002012-07-25T15:15:04.100-07:00Say what you mean :) Surely they don't all fee...Say what you mean :) Surely they don't all feel that way. Just a handful of hillbillies you worked with. Calgary and Edmonton as well as many of their small towns have their own drug problems. Calgary's a nice town. I was a bit hesitant with the urban cowboy thing but I found it very upbeat and multicultural.Dennis Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06736981069304416233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576246045591350665.post-22122399477937065582012-07-25T15:12:20.363-07:002012-07-25T15:12:20.363-07:00Sorry but I think that's bullshit. The link I ...Sorry but I think that's bullshit. The link I posted said the headquarters of the Enbridge "Partnership" is in huston. That was from their web site. When reporting the Kalamazoo oil spill, they said Enbridge was a Huston based company. If it's HQ was Canada, the US medias would have been all over it in the Michigan oil spill. Either way, it has a long history of poor maintenance and bad safety. For that reason alone they should lose the contract.Dennis Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06736981069304416233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576246045591350665.post-83490970112257738282012-07-25T12:56:49.776-07:002012-07-25T12:56:49.776-07:00Enbridge is a Canadian company, it is not based in...Enbridge is a Canadian company, it is not based in Huston and never has been.

"A pot addict", all summer long.<br /><br />Even worse than this, they constantly told me that <br />ALL BC'ers are LAZY, LAZY, LAZY. We are just worthless, and Albertans are the only hard workers in all of this country. They told me their work is the only thing supporting the BC'ers, , as with the "Eastern Bastards." "Pot Addicts;" all of us are constant hard-drug users. I had had it. So, in defence of myself, my BC fire-fighters, and everyone in this Province, I picked up a 2 by 4 and whacked it into the foreman's empty fuckin' head.<br /><br />Every person has their breaking point, and by the end of that summer I met mine. <br /><br />NO one can possibly know how much I hate the fucking Albortians.<br /><br />When those bastards get near me I pick up my shotgun.<br /><br />Albertans are the SCUM of the EARTH.freddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00874780016491360565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576246045591350665.post-28799541155900289182012-07-25T06:02:09.592-07:002012-07-25T06:02:09.592-07:00They no doubt have an office in Calgary but it has...They no doubt have an office in Calgary but it has been reported that they are a Huston based company.
