But it&#39;s also a huge revenue source for both Alberta and Canada in general (we need the $$$), and he has to walk a fine line to avoid stoking further western alienation. Perhaps he just feels &#34;now isn&#39;t the time&#34; and that there are more pressing matters, I don&#39;t think he&#39;s wrong but it&#39;s certainly disappointing.

He has worked with a broad group of people with broadly disparate views, generally successfully. I believe he cares about climate change and other prog. issues but is first making sure we can pay the rent.

So the Liberals are now centre/centre-right, the Conservatives are hard-right, and the NDP seemingly back to their roots with Lewis.

Israel begrudgingly accepted the UN partition plan for Palestine post WW2 creating two states that hopefully would co-exist. The &#34;Palestinians&#34; did not. Both have reasonable historical claims to the land (ask yourself what is underneath the Dome). The Arabs invaded, and lost. It&#39;s complex but no side has clean hands and to only blame Israel is ridiculous.
