Back from 3 days in Lethbridge and I can tell you that the weather there is just as crazy as anywhere in the country. When I arrived Tuesday it was +11 degrees celsius, and when I left this morning it was - 25 degrees celsius. Western amigos will remind me that it's a "dry cold".
2 Conservative provincial mini-scandals have popped up while I was out of blogging range:
1) The "mess in NS" - hat tip to GMAC for the moniker. This is the alleged tale of former human resources Minister Ernie Fage leaving an accident scene while liquored up and the subsequent cover up by the provincial premier's office. Fage has resigned and is/will be expelled from Caucus...the only thing left to figure out is the matter of possible criminal charges and whether the scandal has the legs to further tag the Premier. Stay tuned.
2) The second one involves a $5k per person fundraiser with Premier Ed Stelmach to clear up his campaign debt. Provincial leader Taft says this should be illegal. Last I checked there are plenty of former federal Liberal candidates with debts that need to be paid off. Perhaps Taft should think before opening mouth and inserting foot.
All for now. Lethbridge was cold and lovel...well it was cold for sure.
UPDATE: It appears that Stelmach has bowed to political pressure and cancelled the receptions.

Folded like a cheap suit, I believe is the prefered term.
What were you doing in Lethbridge?
There was a conference with about 200 employers looking to hire foreign workers put on by the federal and Alberta Governments.
