For instance if you wanted to learn accounting you were taught 'oil field accounting' if you wanted to learn Geology you learned how to find oil with geology. If you wanted to learn applied science it was all about the new methods for oil extraction etc. So it stands to reasonable scrutiny that Harper learned only Oilfield Economics and it is a black tsunami wave crushing Canada.<br /><br />So the facts that Carson, Flanagan and Harper are all tied to the UofC surprises me little. And this simple Google search string: university of calgary ties to the oil patch and americans; yields a gold mine of information. It seems the UofC has been compromised for big oil and Americans that is Harper's DNA:<br /><br />https://www.google.ca/?gws_rd=ssl#q=university+of+calgary+ties+to+the+oil+patch+and+americans<br /><br />Go figure; harper is one of those oil-patch robots programmed in Calgary by the likes of the American Koch [Kook] Bros.

Unfortunately, there were too many Canadians who were too apathetic to concern themselves with what was going on.Owen Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06464860078574618579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35117130.post-86956327965961156342015-09-23T12:30:35.423-04:002015-09-23T12:30:35.423-04:00Owen said, "But you've heard this story b...Owen said, "But you've heard this story before."<br /><br />Worse. Many of us warned about it years ago and were chastised for it. We were told that our politicians and governments act in our best interests and would never do those things. There is a small satisfaction in being right but we still have the problem and it's getting worse and most of our population still has its collective head in the sand.

His Finance Minister is still insisting no recession even with the data saying there is at least a technical one. Enough said. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
