I am still around, but I have not been having the best health period as of late, and I find I lack the energy to do much writing/commenting anywhere, which is why you haven't seen much from me as of late. Remember though yours is one of the blogs I check religiously for new material on when I do come online as I do with RT's blog, so never fear that I am missing your work, I am not. Indeed, I take great solace in what I have seen you write at this blog of yours to date.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I did leave a comment on this issue at RT's post yesterday on it in case you missed it. I did so despite how I'm feeling because of how serious I consider this matter to be. Just in case you wanted to see what I thought about this latest Harper/CPC travesty.Scotianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06284856315992405261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30594727.post-77217310393901450112007-10-16T18:24:00.000-04:002007-10-16T18:24:00.000-04:00Harper was just upset because the Western Standard...Harper was just upset because the Western Standard went belly-up.

Statesmanship is the furtherest thing from Harper, except in his own mind of course. Good to see you back.<BR/><BR/>Burl, I saw that. Good grief, a conservative/libertarian think tank shows bad news for the cons and it's spin, spin, spin. Their conservative spokesperson for Quebec, Tasha Kheiriddin says it's not about the money.<BR/><BR/>I've no doubt this will spin to "it's the provinces fault, not the New Government's".Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04291881352139075405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30594727.post-15796139419287526842007-10-15T22:23:00.000-04:002007-10-15T22:23:00.000-04:00Well, when it comes down to the Five priorities, s...Well, when it comes down to the Five priorities, some media outlets are reporting at least that the occasionally disappearing one is still unchecked...<BR/><BR/>http://www.cbc.ca/health/story/2007/10/15/fraser-report.htmlburlivespipehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18048415779214466831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30594727.post-13280587757437367302007-10-15T22:09:00.000-04:002007-10-15T22:09:00.000-04:00Hey Scotian - that's good!Statesmanship (from stat...Hey Scotian - that's good!<BR/><BR/><B>Statesmanship</B> (from statesman) - a leader in national or international affairs.
