Vacation in Vancouver

Los Angeles Dodgers owner Frank McCourt who had his team taken over by MLB says he needs $30 million to meet next month’s obligations. Ironically the majority of the money is to be paid to a woman who is no longer with him and a player who tested positive for being a woman who is also no longer with him. Anyone tested Frank?

The start of the Champions League final between United and Barcelona was a mirror image with Beefeaters bringing out the Cup, while in the stands those eating beef were in their cups.

Like most Albertans I am excited to see the Canucks in the Stanley Cup final because if they win our friends in BC will be in a better mood when we crash at their place for July and August.

Go Canucks but only because I lost a bet which is ironic because if I had won my bet I would have been able to spend a day or 2 vacationing in Vancouver.

Floods in Quebec, fires in Alberta & Canucks in Cup.

Re: Floods in Quebec, fires in Alberta and Canucks in the Cup.

With the return from Afghanistan of our combat forces now is the time to remind Quebec and the rest of Canada what living here means. The returning troops have previously been charged with bringing order, restoring vital services and building infrastructure in a war torn region. This is a laundry list of the needs of Canadians after the recent fires and floods that have devastated communities. Best of all we promise not to shoot at you while building a school.

Beyond the obvious it would retain the Esprit de Corps of a highly trained dedicated group of Canadians who volunteered for duty. Our troops in addition to being combat and peacekeeping have become leaders in reconstruction combat. This branch of our military attempts to restore what was bombed yesterday in retaliation for previous bombings. They are highly experienced units with specialties in electrical and structural engineering, communications, earth moving and are recognized trailblazers in the number of Timmie’s opened per sq. ft. We set the double double standard.


Let’s keep this highly trained urgently needed force together and focus on Canadian sewers, telecommunications, roads and most of all cable for the Canadians, Jets and Leafs games.

Go Canucks because I lost a bet.
