Who are the same as American Republicans. There has always been a hot bed of racism in Progressive Conservatives, especially in Alberta this party has many white supremists and rich ones. This is no surprise. Stephen Harper, the previous Prime Minister, stopped the rainy day energy fund like Norway has. The Pcs were so sure oil would be king forever that the rainy day fund was not needed. Not so. Norway is prospering and Alberta is suffering.

Canada is so big and needs immigrants. I love the diversity of cities like Toronto.

Water is the world's next oil and Canada has plenty. Canadians are becoming more aware of how precious our environment is and accepting green energy. There are more green energy jobs popping up in Alberta.

Times are a changing. The shipbuilding, coal, cotton and mining industries are no longer dominant.

People are eating less red meat, switching to solar or green, hybrid /electric cars are being sold. Industries are now looking at making containers that are reusable.

There are many people who resist these changes. They are becoming less and less.
