    He's trying real hard to secure the NDP gains in Quebec. Stay tuned when the polls turn south for them in the belle province he's going to throw his hail mary policy where he's going to want bill 101 for federal institutions in Quebec. Happen to be english working for Canada in Quebec ? Tough shit no English allowed here.

    Wait for it, it's coming.

    Oh yeah, look at it go..


    this is the first time in its tracking history that the NDP has numerically surpassed the Conservatives — albeit by 0.1 percentage points. "The research suggests that there is no significant negative blowback by Thomas Mulcair's comments on the oilsands," he said.

    This is funny because Manning is with Mulcair, he's just pissed that he's singling out the tarsands.

    Oilsands please, not tarsands. Tar is a product of petroleum processing that doesn't exist by itself in nature.

    So it's the oilsands, on its way to becoming the tarsands.

    La Brea Tar Pits

    The La Brea Tar Pits are a cluster of pits around which Hancock Park was formed, in the urban heart of Los Angeles. Asphaltum or (brea in Spanish) has seeped up from the ground in this area for tens of thousands of years. The is often covered with dust, leaves, or water. Over many centuries, animals that were trapped in the were preserved as bones. The George C. Page Museum is dedicated to researching the pits and displaying specimens from the animals that died there. The La Brea Tar Pits are now a registered National Natural Landmark.

    Boy they sure got you drinking the Kool-Ade out there.

    The real reason for the switch from tar to oil has nothing to do wiht that. It has to do with managing the communications message. Kind of like the abortion communications war and the terms "pro-life" and "pro-choice."

    But you can be pro life and pro choice at the same time.

    Not relevant to Alberta, where we deal with an oil-soaked sand called bitumen, not tar. But you're from Quebec, where most of you apparently think we're bulldozing the Rocky Mountains out here to get at the "tar", so I don't expect you to know that.

    Or being a smart ass and a dumb ass at the same time, as per far too many of us CKA'ers.

    Re: La Brea;

    The tar pits visible today are actually from human excavation. The lake pit was originally an asphalt mine. The other pits visible today were produced during the 1913–1915 excavations, when over 100 pits were excavated in search of large mammal bones. Various combinations of asphaltum and water have since filled in these holes. Normally, the asphalt appears in vents, hardening as it oozes out, to form stubby mounds. These can be seen in several areas of the park, as well.


    Fucking LOL.

    That's what I mean--both positions are fundamentally menaningless and just meant to engender good feelings in those that support "pro-choice" or "pro-life." Like anyone would be "pro-death." :lol:
