I haven’t a dog in this fight except that it seems like a battle royale between two mangy mutts. Perhaps that is why I find this headline, “Alberta Tories play race card, call Wildrose party of old, white men in election”, and accompanying story so interesting. “Race card”? I guess

Something needs to be said about this business of the government “hiding” $10 billion in costs on the F-35, suggesting the cost was only $15 billion when it was “really” $25 billion. Well, it’s true that they lied about the cost being $15 billion. It’s true that they’re lying now
