So Stephen Mandel thinks that we expect government to do to much for us. I agree with him.  I just don’t agree with him on what he wants government to do. During his administration he has brought in draconian laws concerning everyday living such as smoking, idling engines etc. etc., spent excessive money on stupid...

The city of Edmonton is always spending money to bring people to the city, yet they are going to close a profitable amusement centre that does bring people into the city. And they are doing it so they can store rail cars. It seems to me that they could store rail cars anyplace along...
