Don't you know that Alberta has always existed? When the CPR got to Calgary they were shocked to find a thriving community of unfortunately hatted anger-junkies who immediately began lecturing the elitist railway workers about their arrogance and snobbery.<br /><br />Everything that has ever been and ever will be is thanks to the hard work of Albertans like Rob... and no, it doesn't matter that he's as dependent on the oil as someone in Windsor, that he's as much of a leach as a lawyer in Toronto or Montreal, because he's got a cowboy hat dagnabbit and is a proud inheritor of the magnificent and ancient heritage bestowed upon him by... er... Eastern Canadian administrators some 40 years after Confederation.Shinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08016613530584645357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-60013083959895990322012-03-03T14:55:31.564-05:002012-03-03T14:55:31.564-05:00Hey, I've got an idea.
