In fighting to save the oil patch of Alberta, the Conservatives are fighting a losing battle. The only thing the Conservatives can do is to preserve an industry which is going to collapse anyway - and, as things are going, an industry which might well destroy us in its own greed.
Alas! The Liberals aren't much better.
All parties desperately need a plan to create a new Alberta economy. And they don't have much time.

In Montreal, I spent grades 5 to 8 in a school. ironically named Peace Centennial, that was noted for its bullying - and worse.
Girls were raped in the playground. Big kids repeating grades routinely set up after school street fights with small kids. ( I was one of the small kids.) One of our students became the last man in Canada to be hanged for murder. And that was while he was still very young.
And oh, one of the girls was worse.
But the kids are getting much, much worse. (When I taught grade 7. I taught two boys - bullies - who were killed in gun fights with police while still in their teens.) And the victims of bullies often suffer for the rest of their lives.
This is a serious and spreading problem.

Okay. I'll confess. In grade 7, another kid and I used to ridicule the wimpiest kid in class. And I have no doubt that destroyed his education. In grade 9, two boys in my class stole a doctor's bag with drugs and hypodermic needles. (He was the boy they also held out by his ankles from a third-floor window.) One lunch hour in class they pulled down his pants and injected drugs into him. That boy spent the rest of his life hiding in fear.
We have to take this seriously and deal with it.

I have no idea, of course, of who set that bomb. What I do know is that this war is essentially a civil war of one region against another. It has nothing to do with the U.S. The U.S. is there only to grab Afghanistan resources and to exploit its position. Worse, even the U.S. admits it cannot win.l
So why doesn't it get out? Why does it go on killing innocent people? After all, there's no sign the U.S. gives a damn about the people of Afghanistan. It cares even less than did the Russians who killed the same people the U.S. is now killing.
Russian killing didn't work. American killing has not worked any better. There is a problem in Afghanistan. But 20 years of U.S. killing prefaced by many years of Russian killing have not solved any problem. No killing is going to do that.
What this needs is UN negotiations between the two sides organized by countries who are not interested only in plundering the country.

Let's get real. The U.S. is NOT a democracy. All of it's governments have been elected by big money. Right from the start, America's government were devoted to serving land speculators. Thus the massive slaughter of indigenous men, women and children.
Big business has always bought American politicians. The only hope now would be the election of Bernie Sanders as president. But that is not likely.
Canada? All of its prime ministers have been Liberal or Conservative. And all have lived on the take from capitalists in Canada, Britain, and the U.S.
And the capitalist-owned news media of both countries have always lied.
Democracy? Get real.

It's not that long ago that Canada employed very young children to work long hours at low, low pay. Ditto for the U.S. and Britain. In fact, 6 year olds commonly worked a 15 hour day for pennies.
Capitalism is not nice to most people.

This is such a crisis as the world has never seen before. These people are not migrants who risk drowning for the fun of it. Their world is being destroyed by climate change - and by us. And it's going to get much, much worse.
This is no time for racism in the U.S. or Canada or Europe.
My understanding of Christianity is faulty. But I cannot think of any commandment that tells to leave non-Christians die in those countries we have been destroying.
(Of course, it is arguable that we have never been Christians, and don't really give a damn.)

Conservative and Liberal politicians don't give much of a damn about education. (well, yes, they often do give a damn about the private schools. That's partly because the superwealthy who buy Conservative and Liberal politicians send their children to private schools.)
Public schooling has always been underfunded. And university is a disaster area where children are forced to run up enormous debts that they will have to pay for through most of their working lives.

That was how Hitler's Germany worked. They are, in many ways, Nazi states.

The British people, especially the aristocracy of Britain in 2019 - and right through World War 2, had nothing but contempt for Jews. The Balfour plan was not to find a plan for them but to get rid of them at the expense of the Palestinians, The whole creation of Israel in 1948 (by Canada and the US among others) was not to help Jews. It was simply to dump them away from us God-
fearing Christians.
Hitler was certainly vicious in his treatment of Jews. But a reality we have to face is that much of the western world shared that vicious hatred.

1,000 troops in Syria. And who will that help? Not the Syrians. Not the Kurds. The oil people it will help are a small number of the American super-rich. And it won't cost them a cent because they don't pay income tax.

The bombing of Pearl Harbour by the Japanese was terrible. But top people in the U.S. were quite happy with it. This gave them a good excuse to attack Japan, and to and to steal China - which was then largely a British colony.
In the late days of the war, the U.S. instructed Britain to stay away from China. But Churchill defied that because he knew the U.S. wanted to grab a major piece of the British Empire. By this time, the British had no hope of getting back most of China. But, defying the U.S., Churchill managed to get back Hong Kong.
The U.S. used the two world wars to destroy Britain as a commercial competitor. That was particularly true of the oil industry.
And then the American super-rich took over Canada.
