Questions:
Shouldn't the minister responsible take the fall for this fiasco?
Didn't the Conservatives lose the West when they killed the "Crow" thereby making possible the Reform Party?
What is so hard to understand about such a vital economic resource that one can't master it? Or, is it a continuous train of bumbling bureaucrats who are Conservatives?
Just asking.
