Piplyme oilive oylsands, update

These new transmission (power) lines will help Albertans. It will reduce their electrical bills, except for a mere $3/mo residential customer interim, like shoot-shovel-and-shutup-Ralph-Klein's energy-deregulation did. (ha)

Ooops. Dec 7, 2012. "AltaGas withdraws permit to export to U.S."
"AltaGas filed the application in error, and has no plans to sell power from Alberta to the U.S. We expect to withdraw the application," said AltaGas spokesperson Neil Mackie.

May 19, 2011. "Wikileaks offers insight on Alberta power lines"
Cellucci writes that Alberta’s former Energy Minister Murray Smith “and others” want the U.S. government to be “aware that over time there will be tremendous electricity co-generation available as a result of the huge thermal needs of the oil sands refining process.” “This could over time make significant new electricity exports available to the United States.” The diplomatic cable also reveals Alberta’s provincial ministers and energy sector executives “broadly” supported “U.S. goals in Iraq” and resented former federal Natural Resource Minister Herb Dhaliwal’s assertion that former U.S. President George Bush was a “failed statesman.”

oh, gary mar, rosey backstabbers, premiers & oda

Mum's the word. Don't tell Redford.. The dude (Gary Mar, Alberta’s Envoy to Hong Kong) is vidicated. Or is he? "Rutherford claims Mar has been reinstated with full back pay. Last week a spokesman from Intergovernmental, International and Aboriginal Relations denied reports Mar had been reinstated, saying the investigation was still ongoing."

Rutherford must be Mr. XLRight.™ And nobody told the premier. It's kind of like when all the talk last year was to maybe, perhaps, maybe, perhaps, or maybe consider a new national energy program, er, national energy strategy or plan. (But who needs that when you have a new, big gestapo 'mandate'-stick called a federal majority.) Redford mentions NEPlan a couple of months ago and, oh, it's not the talk now, young lady. Today, à la eastern bastards freeze in the dark ... wedgie big scary lieberals stuff and chanting. bwahahaha.

Anyway, Redford's Oil Coach (Allan Markin) left his job. Election Day. Trying to figure out which candidates live in my constituency. It could be fewer than I thought. That's odd. Illegal donations to the PC party: the 'attack chihuahua' (Alberta Chief Electoral Officer, Brian Fjeldheim) is on it. 

It seems slightly, just slightly ... anachronistic: Socred (fundamentalist Christianity etc, 1935-1971) to PC (drunken abusive premier limo-boy yelling and throwing coins at bums, 1971-present) to Reform Party Wildrose, ... whew. All of the parties' leaders are not a sure thing. Note to self: I can't forget the unconstitutional, cart-before-the-horse, waiting for nothing Triple E pretend senators.  

It doesn't really square with a project for a new north american century. Or does it. And, limo-girl, Bev Odious Oda. Oops, wrong "not" scandal. Save Money With Cons. Oops, wrong limo/chauffeur scandal. Here: Apr 23 2012. "Five Star Hotel not Good Enough"

on spec: canada a robocall test market

Enron is to California Energy Crisis Alberta as robocalls are to US election in November.

"Enron tested ploy in Alberta," February 5, 2005. See also: Klein and energy deregulation, circa 1999, and earlier. Electricity prices: The highest of any province in Canada. (Versacold)

Reliant Energy Services indicted for manufacturing
the California Energy Crisis of 2000 and 2001. source



The "robocalls" are only a software/demographic run, system,  results oriented management... op criminal a technological advance in electoral manipulation processes.

mister canada gov - $26m economic caption plan

Clearly, ... Friends
Holy mcLuntz-and-disruption-manuals Jobotomy bobblehead meme! Now, after the $26m 3 month radio and TV campaign for the party, a record-breaking $1.2b G20 summit, and even a dispute with the Pentagon about the double cost of 200 F-35 jets (or their not often talked about Mulroney Winnipeg's Bristol Aerospace 1986 expensive maintenance contract)(and... no engines...?) and $300m prorogue, 2008, which all of course are someone else's fault like a wife batter's alibi, there's a new caption in TV town.

Friends. Listen. It's probably better, let me be clear, for the time being, and abandon the fact of the matter. Luntz's current company, The Word Doctors ("It's not what you say, it's what they hear"), specializes in message creation and image management for commercial and political clients.

on Fokus Pokus groups
Lemme guess: Harper is finger-pointy synonymous with "government of canada" (see:  "re-branded" "harper" "canada" "government"), which is reverse synonymous with Adanac (see: satanism or reverse speech or libtards or Taliban jackoffs, Ali Kaida, green terrorisms), which is synonymous, no antonymous, with TheTeaPotParty (see: perpetual campaigning), which is
reverse speech/ hceeps esrever
synonymous, maybe, with contempt (just made-up)(see: parliament), which is synonymous with canlit, no, hockey lit or water bottles for kiddies, which is synonomous with [insert US president] Administration and harmonization... (etcetera).(ca 2003: "National myth? Hockey?? -  write a goddamn hockey book!"} New logo for Canada? Forward-moving font, momentum, "on-the-move" parallelogram, Go-team,-go!

And from the University of Pennsylvania, no less.

the caption plan - cost: $26m
Read on to find out how Environment Minister Ambrose is using Frank Luntz's tactics almost to the letter these days ("Bush's Chief Climate "Spinmaster" Tells Harper How It's Done"). New Conservative Party of Canada logo? Canada logo? Hard to no, it's mixed up. Strong Staples government, and oops, PM know longer taking questions on local campaigns. It's the Klein Public affairs bureau, all over again.
A manual of "key messages" produced exclusively for Alberta Progressive Conservative MLAs by the Public Affairs Bureau verges on propaganda, is a partisan misuse of taxpayers' money and provides the governing party with an unfair advantage, a panel of political scientists says.

"This manual is a straight-up abuse of taxpayers' money because it is money that is being used to communicate what the Tory party is doing, not what the government is doing," said Jonathan Rose, a Queen's University professor.
Leader with PeoplePaper
Words That Work: It's Not What You Say, It's What People Hear. It seems they can't tell the difference, just don't get it, mister fixed election dates. Kind of like national debt (up) and a GST reduction, lollipops for the kids, like Ralph Klein's election bucks when the deregulation fiasco didn't reduce consumers' energy bills and things got hot. Presto! The Prosperity Bonus! public pacifier. It's getting kind of funny: "the world will go wrong if I-me-me don't get majority. We need STABILITY! Luntz frequently tests word and phrase choices using focus groups and interviews.

party promo, former canadian government
Martin gained an important ally in GOP pollster Frank Luntz, whose polling revealed that "death tax" sparked voter resentment in a way that "inheritance tax" and "estate tax" couldn't match. Brampton whistle stop (March 27 2011 - the 4th federal election in less than 7 years!), where another booger drops out of the body politic. Giulio Maturi, who was a top official in the campaign of disgraced former Montreal mayoral candidate Benoit Labonté in 2009, was listed as late as Wednesday afternoon as the campaign manager for a Montreal Conservative candidate. [Agop Evereklian, Pierrefonds-Dollard riding]  The other: Sebastien Togneri, former aide to Christian Paradis, was helping with Ryan Hastman's campaign.[Edmonton-Strathcona] There is no consequence for Contempt of Parliament.
