ReplyDeleteFYI, Paul. Desmogblog has a post up to remind its readers of its commenting policies. I figured you'd appreciate the heads up.
Anyway, as if Calgarians need another reason for public debauch.
It's $300,000 BCL. Besides, adding in the $10,000,000,000 or $6,500,000,000 amount that GM and Chrysler received in their unprecedented assistance, and it is Ontario who has gotten special consideration
ReplyDeleteDidn't I tell you already that 3.5 billion of that comes from Ontario taxpayers?
ReplyDeletewv: fetslags...Now, Blogger, that's not a nice thing to call Paul's female relatives...
Your bias is showing. Gay men can be just as big and just as sweaty as straight men.It's possible than sonme of the ball players you are highlighting may be gay!
ReplyDeleteAdd in the $2 million in federal funding Calgary received for the stampede and that's quite the haul for them this year.
